Jacob W. Friesen (14 Jan 1893 - 30 Nov 1945)

The paternal relationship between Jacob W. Friesen and his son Erdman Friesen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LP.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LP and other confirmed descendants of Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LP descends from Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz through Jacob W. Friesen and his son Erdman Friesen, the presence of significant shared DNA between LP and other known descendants of Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz through Jacob W. Friesen to Erdman Friesen, and ultimately to LP, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
