Katharina Thiessen (24 Jul 1882 - 23 Dec 1959)

The maternal relationship between Katharina Thiessen and her daughter Sara Hiebert is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant Robert James Wiebe.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between Robert James Wiebe and other confirmed descendants of Anton Heppner is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since Robert James Wiebe descends from Anton Heppner through Katharina Thiessen and her daughter Sara Hiebert, the presence of significant shared DNA between Robert James Wiebe 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 Katharina Thiessen to Sara Hiebert, and ultimately to Robert James Wiebe, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
