The maternal relationship between Maria D Klippenstein and her daughter
Anna Maria Hiebert is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant TH.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between TH and other confirmed descendants of
Anton Heppner is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since TH descends from Anton Heppner through Maria D Klippenstein and her daughter Anna Maria Hiebert, the presence of significant shared DNA between TH and other known descendants of Anton Heppner validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Anton Heppner through Maria D Klippenstein to Anna Maria Hiebert, and ultimately to TH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
