Peter Braun (ABT 1787 - 13 Oct 1826)

The paternal relationship between Peter Braun and his daughter Margaretha Braun is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JW.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JW and other confirmed descendants of Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JW descends from Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen through Peter Braun and his daughter Margaretha Braun, the presence of significant shared DNA between JW and other known descendants of Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen through Peter Braun to Margaretha Braun, and ultimately to JW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
