Jacob Martens (ABT 1823 - ABT 1860)

The paternal relationship between Jacob Martens and his son Peter Martens is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant ED.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between ED and other confirmed descendants of Peter Rempel/Cristina Von Dycken is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since ED descends from Peter Rempel/Cristina Von Dycken through Jacob Martens and his son Peter Martens, the presence of significant shared DNA between ED and other known descendants of Peter Rempel/Cristina Von Dycken validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Peter Rempel/Cristina Von Dycken through Jacob Martens to Peter Martens, and ultimately to ED, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
