Gertrude Schmidt (1906 - 1996) Female
The maternal relationship between Gertrude Schmidt and her daughter JK is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CH.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CH and other confirmed descendants of FH is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CH descends from FH through Gertrude Schmidt and her daughter JK, the presence of significant shared DNA between CH and other known descendants of FH validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA FH through Gertrude Schmidt to JK, and ultimately to CH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
