The maternal relationship between Katharina Hildebrandt and her son
Peter Jacob Wiebe is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant EEN.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between EEN and other confirmed descendants of
Anton Heppner/
Elisabeth Wiens is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since EEN descends from Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Katharina Hildebrandt and her son Peter Jacob Wiebe, the presence of significant shared DNA between EEN and other known descendants of Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Katharina Hildebrandt to Peter Jacob Wiebe, and ultimately to EEN, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
