Dietrich M. Enns (ABT 1874 - 18 Jan 1952)

The paternal relationship between Dietrich M. Enns and his son Edwin D. Enns is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant PWE.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between PWE and other confirmed descendants of Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/Catharina Friesen is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since PWE descends from Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/Catharina Friesen through Dietrich M. Enns and his son Edwin D. Enns, the presence of significant shared DNA between PWE and other known descendants of Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/Catharina Friesen validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/Catharina Friesen through Dietrich M. Enns to Edwin D. Enns, and ultimately to PWE, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
