Annica Eriksdotter Gronlund (1773 - 1865)

The maternal relationship between Annica Eriksdotter Gronlund and her daughter Brita Jonasdotter Hedman is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant NAS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between NAS and other confirmed descendants of Jonas Bertilsson Ofwerman/Brita Olofsdotter is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since NAS descends from Jonas Bertilsson Ofwerman/Brita Olofsdotter through Annica Eriksdotter Gronlund and her daughter Brita Jonasdotter Hedman, the presence of significant shared DNA between NAS and other known descendants of Jonas Bertilsson Ofwerman/Brita Olofsdotter validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jonas Bertilsson Ofwerman/Brita Olofsdotter through Annica Eriksdotter Gronlund to Brita Jonasdotter Hedman, and ultimately to NAS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
