1) Two of your test takers are first cousins, not distant cousins. For triangulation you need to have three or more distant cousins who share the same segment of DNA. Please review the requirements for triangulation here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Triangulation 2) If you did have valid triangulation, you would only be able to confirm back to, but not including the relationships to the ancestral couple. See this information:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Triangulation#Do_you_include_the_MRCA.3F
I've changed the 'confirmed with DNA' entries to 'confident'. Please add the appropriate documentation before changing them back to 'confirmed with DNA'. Thanks!
