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