• Louisa Jane Muthert (22 Jan 1857 - 26 Aug 1932)
    The maternal relationship between Louisa Jane Muthert and her daughter Edith Louise Wagner is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RLB.

    The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RLB and other confirmed descendants of Herman Rudolph Kruse/Catharina Maria Adelheid Redeker is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RLB descends from Herman Rudolph Kruse/Catharina Maria Adelheid Redeker through Louisa Jane Muthert and her daughter Edith Louise Wagner, the presence of significant shared DNA between RLB and other known descendants of Herman Rudolph Kruse/Catharina Maria Adelheid Redeker validates the generational links along this maternal line.

    This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Herman Rudolph Kruse/Catharina Maria Adelheid Redeker through Louisa Jane Muthert to Edith Louise Wagner, and ultimately to RLB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
