Aganetha Dirksen (29 Jan 1873 - 16 May 1948)

The maternal relationship between Aganetha Dirksen and her son Heinrich A. Ediger is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JDE.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JDE and other confirmed descendants of Katharina Wiens is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JDE descends from Katharina Wiens through Aganetha Dirksen and her son Heinrich A. Ediger, the presence of significant shared DNA between JDE and other known descendants of Katharina Wiens validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Katharina Wiens through Aganetha Dirksen to Heinrich A. Ediger, and ultimately to JDE, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
