Maria Wiens (12 Mar 1861 - 18 Jan 1920)

The maternal relationship between Maria Wiens and her son Jacob K. Patzkowsky 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 Daniel Wiens/Maria Braun is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JWF descends from Daniel Wiens/Maria Braun through Maria Wiens and her son Jacob K. Patzkowsky, the presence of significant shared DNA between JWF and other known descendants of Daniel Wiens/Maria Braun validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Daniel Wiens/Maria Braun through Maria Wiens to Jacob K. Patzkowsky, and ultimately to JWF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
