Helena Warkentin (30 Nov 1854 - 17 Jul 1928)

The maternal relationship between Helena Warkentin and her daughter Helena Dyck is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DG.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DG and other confirmed descendants of JD/Helena Penner is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DG descends from JD/Helena Penner through Helena Warkentin and her daughter Helena Dyck, the presence of significant shared DNA between DG and other known descendants of JD/Helena Penner validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple JD/Helena Penner through Helena Warkentin to Helena Dyck, and ultimately to DG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
