Maria Berg (20 Jun 1837 - ABT 1909)

The maternal relationship between Maria Berg and her son Johann Dueck is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DD.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DD and other confirmed descendants of Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DD descends from Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz through Maria Berg and her son Johann Dueck, the presence of significant shared DNA between DD and other known descendants of Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz through Maria Berg to Johann Dueck, and ultimately to DD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
