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