Cornelius Driedger (ABT 1777 - )

The paternal relationship between Cornelius Driedger and his daughter Elisabeth Driedger is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DJG.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DJG and other confirmed descendants of Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DJG descends from Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen through Cornelius Driedger and his daughter Elisabeth Driedger, the presence of significant shared DNA between DJG and other known descendants of Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen through Cornelius Driedger to Elisabeth Driedger, and ultimately to DJG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
