The proposed relationship of Anna Louise SCHLIEP as the mother of Christian Friedrich Rakow and Dorothea Louise Rakow is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between JH (a descendant of the Dorothea Louise Rakow ancestral line) and PELR (a descendant of the Christian Friedrich Rakow ancestral line) with a shared segment of 18.40 cM across 1 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
