Katarina Kauenhowen (17 Jun 1822 - 25 Sep 1895)

The maternal relationship between Katarina Kauenhowen and her daughter Elisabeth Rempel is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LSD.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LSD and other confirmed descendants of Paul Schellenberg is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LSD descends from Paul Schellenberg through Katarina Kauenhowen and her daughter Elisabeth Rempel, the presence of significant shared DNA between LSD and other known descendants of Paul Schellenberg validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Paul Schellenberg through Katarina Kauenhowen to Elisabeth Rempel, and ultimately to LSD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
