The maternal relationship between Elizabeth Patzkowski and her son
Eugene Floyd Willems is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JW.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JW and other confirmed descendants of
Jacob K. Patzkowsky/
Elizabeth Penner is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JW descends from Jacob K. Patzkowsky/Elizabeth Penner through Elizabeth Patzkowski and her son Eugene Floyd Willems, the presence of significant shared DNA between JW and other known descendants of Jacob K. Patzkowsky/Elizabeth Penner validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jacob K. Patzkowsky/Elizabeth Penner through Elizabeth Patzkowski to Eugene Floyd Willems, and ultimately to JW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
