Dorothea Sophia Ramthun (1781 - 1847)

The maternal relationship between Dorothea Sophia Ramthun and her daughter Anna Gaulke is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DB.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DB and other confirmed descendants of Martin Ramthun/Luise Glander is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DB descends from Martin Ramthun/Luise Glander through Dorothea Sophia Ramthun and her daughter Anna Gaulke, the presence of significant shared DNA between DB and other known descendants of Martin Ramthun/Luise Glander validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Martin Ramthun/Luise Glander through Dorothea Sophia Ramthun to Anna Gaulke, and ultimately to DB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
