The proposed relationship of Elisabetha Maria Schmitz as the mother of Charles Theodore Fessler, Maria Fessler, Margreth Fessler, John (Jack) Fessler and CF is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between WS (a descendant of the Charles Theodore Fessler ancestral line) and DS (a descendant of the Maria Fessler ancestral line) with a shared segment of 40.52 cM across 3 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between KLF (a descendant of the Charles Theodore Fessler ancestral line) and GJ (a descendant of the Margreth Fessler ancestral line) with a shared segment of 87.13 cM across 5 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between WS (a descendant of the Charles Theodore Fessler ancestral line) and JD (a descendant of the John (Jack) Fessler ancestral line) with a shared segment of 78.01 cM across 4 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between WS (a descendant of the Charles Theodore Fessler ancestral line) and SS (a descendant of the CF ancestral line) with a shared segment of 132.20 cM across 5 HIR segments.

These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.

Further support for shared ancestry within Charles Theodore Fessler, Maria Fessler, Margreth Fessler, John (Jack) Fessler and CF is provided by an additional 8 DNA confirmed relationships among other tested descendants tracing back to these lines.
