Maria Haelke (1855 - 1946)

The maternal relationship between Maria Haelke and her daughter Emma Garske is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DA.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DA and other confirmed descendants of Martin Ramthun is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DA descends from Martin Ramthun through Maria Haelke and her daughter Emma Garske, the presence of significant shared DNA between DA and other known descendants of Martin Ramthun validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Martin Ramthun through Maria Haelke to Emma Garske, and ultimately to DA, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
