G2G: DNA confirmations

Question

Nailed another DNA link. After pestering my cousin Neil for years to get his DNA done, I finally found a match with his son Dion on GEDmatch yesterday. That brings the confirms up to:

Both parents
All four grandparents
5/8 great-grandparents
4/16 great-great grandparents

Been a great week for genealogy!

Edit: Correction, there are FOUR great-great grandparents tagged, not two. I had missed tagging a couple and only just noticed.

Update: Haven't been on any of the commercial sites for a while so decided to check for new results. I found a 12cM match on someone who could only be related via my 6th great-grandfather. Triangulating it might be an effort but this is a line I've never seen before, so I'm very excited.

Congratulations!! That's great work. I hope you get even more over time.

Actually I've just found a really good one while checking DNA links in my tree. I have a triangulated match with a fifth cousin via the Isle of Wight! Just waiting for confirmation from the third person, whose match I stored on DNA Painter years ago. That one was found via the Facebook IOW & Hampshire group.

I have an almost complete ahnen list going back seven generations (111/127 documented) and the new challenge is to confirm all of it with DNA. :-)
