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