what does it mean when the suggestion says mother's DNA is missing? And how do you fix it?

Question

Received suggestions saying missing DNA.  How do you fix that problem?

Answer 1

On the profile for Cunningham-9227 both his father and his mother have been marked as "confirmed with DNA". There is a DNA confirmation statement in the sources starting with the words "Paternal relationship is confirmed by ...", so there is no problem with his father being marked as "confirmed with DNA". However there is no equivalent statement starting "Maternal relationship is confirmed by ...", so that is what is producing the suggestion. 

If you add a DNA confirmation statement explaining which DNA tests have confirmed his mother, just like has already has been done for his father but starting "Maternal" instead of "Paternal", then that will fix the suggestion.

Answer 2

Colonel Hull Cunningham's profile has a box checked confirmed with DNA for both parents

Answer 3

I'm assuming you're referring to my DNA entry?  Let me know what I need to fix.  Thank you

Hello, I get these in the Suggestions.  I still don't know what it means or how to fix it.

It means, as described above, that you can't just mark a profile as 'confirmed with 'DNA'.  You have to have a statement on the profile. If there is no statement, you get a Suggestion.
