Lydia Drefs (1896 - 1981)

  • Lydia Drefs (1896 - 1981)
    The maternal relationship between Lydia Drefs and her daughter Violet Prill is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant TVH.

    The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between TVH and other confirmed descendants of Christian Ludwig Glander/Anna Christina Wojahn is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since TVH descends from Christian Ludwig Glander/Anna Christina Wojahn through Lydia Drefs and her daughter Violet Prill, the presence of significant shared DNA between TVH and other known descendants of Christian Ludwig Glander/Anna Christina Wojahn validates the generational links along this maternal line.

    This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Christian Ludwig Glander/Anna Christina Wojahn through Lydia Drefs to Violet Prill, and ultimately to TVH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
