Anna Gaulke (1822 - 1914)

The proposed relationship of Anna Gaulke as the mother of Maria Haelke and Augusta Helke is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between JP (a descendant of the Augusta Helke ancestral line) and DA (a descendant of the Maria Haelke ancestral line) with a shared segment of 24.92 cM across 1 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
