Wilhelmine Petzold (1862 - 1941)

The proposed relationship of Wilhelmine Petzold as the mother of Erwin Rohde and William Fredrick Rohde is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between DS (a descendant of the Erwin Rohde ancestral line) and AR (a descendant of the William Fredrick Rohde ancestral line) with a shared segment of 77.34 cM across 5 HIR segments.

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