Sarah Hoewner (ABT 1762 - Jul 1801)

The proposed relationship of Sarah Hoewner as the mother of Sara Schellenberg and Katharina Schellenberg is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between DJG (a descendant of the Sara Schellenberg ancestral line) and EVR (a descendant of the Katharina Schellenberg ancestral line) with a shared segment of 51.78 cM across 3 HIR segments.

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