Christina Defehr (ABT 1797 - )

The maternal relationship between Christina Defehr and her son David Doerksen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MWF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MWF and other confirmed descendants of Benjamin Defehr/AB is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MWF descends from Benjamin Defehr/AB through Christina Defehr and her son David Doerksen, the presence of significant shared DNA between MWF and other known descendants of Benjamin Defehr/AB validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Benjamin Defehr/AB through Christina Defehr to David Doerksen, and ultimately to MWF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
