The maternal relationship between Elisabeth Thiessen and her daughter
Elizabeth Penner is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JWF.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JWF and other confirmed descendants of
Maria Reimer is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JWF descends from Maria Reimer through Elisabeth Thiessen and her daughter Elizabeth Penner, the presence of significant shared DNA between JWF and other known descendants of Maria Reimer validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Maria Reimer through Elisabeth Thiessen to Elizabeth Penner, and ultimately to JWF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
