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