Maria Doerksen (20 Jun 1857 - 25 Feb 1916)

The maternal relationship between Maria Doerksen and her daughter Helena Mueller is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant EE.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between EE and other confirmed descendants of Maria Reimer is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since EE descends from Maria Reimer through Maria Doerksen and her daughter Helena Mueller, the presence of significant shared DNA between EE 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 Maria Doerksen to Helena Mueller, and ultimately to EE, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
