Cornelius L. Giesbrecht
(ABT 1880 - 21 Nov 1959)
The paternal relationship between Cornelius L. Giesbrecht and his son
Peter Giesbrecht 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
Peter Martens is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DJG descends from Peter Martens through Cornelius L. Giesbrecht and his son Peter Giesbrecht, the presence of significant shared DNA between DJG and other known descendants of Peter Martens validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Peter Martens through Cornelius L. Giesbrecht to Peter Giesbrecht, and ultimately to DJG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
