This has likely been answered, but I cannot find an answer in G2G search.
I just did a "Relationship to Me" search, and found a relationship. This individual had DNA confirmation of parents (yellow letters) attached to a profile for an individual born in the 1840s, died 1920s. I do not understand how this can be proven. So, I looked at this:
"Confirmed with DNA" is a Relationship Status level. Using it means this icon will appear by fathers and mothers on profiles and most tree views:
This indicator should only be used when two or more people have taken DNA tests for genealogy and their results have been carefully compared using one of the methods described on the DNA Confirmation page or using a comparable method that you'd like to discuss adding to this page.
I know that DNA can be extracted from very ancient specimens, but I think it is too expensive to do for genealogy. So, do only two people in the current living generation need to have DNA tests to confirm that great grandparents are proven by DNA? If that is the case, I need to make some changes because we have tested 3 generations, 5 individuals and added that information to our profiles, but have not added the DNA Confirmation icon.
