The maternal relationship between Helena Hoeppner and her daughter
Helena Hildebrandt is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant AT.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AT and other confirmed descendants of
Anton Heppner/
Elisabeth Wiens is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AT descends from Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Helena Hoeppner and her daughter Helena Hildebrandt, the presence of significant shared DNA between AT and other known descendants of Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Helena Hoeppner to Helena Hildebrandt, and ultimately to AT, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
