The maternal relationship between Katharina Klippenstein and her daughter
Susanna Neufeld is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant GV.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between GV and other confirmed descendants of
Anton Heppner/
Elisabeth Wiens is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since GV descends from Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Katharina Klippenstein and her daughter Susanna Neufeld, the presence of significant shared DNA between GV 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 Klippenstein to Susanna Neufeld, and ultimately to GV, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
