Jacob Sawatzky (ABT 1839 - ABT 1900)

The paternal relationship between Jacob Sawatzky and his daughter Helena Sawatzky is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant TCF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between TCF and other confirmed descendants of Peter Sawatzky/Margaretha Rempel is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since TCF descends from Peter Sawatzky/Margaretha Rempel through Jacob Sawatzky and his daughter Helena Sawatzky, the presence of significant shared DNA between TCF and other known descendants of Peter Sawatzky/Margaretha Rempel validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Peter Sawatzky/Margaretha Rempel through Jacob Sawatzky to Helena Sawatzky, and ultimately to TCF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
