DNA Confirmation Statement for shared ancestors

Question

I just received the following message on the profiles of several of my ancestors:

"Please add a statement(s) to this profile explaining how DNA was used to confirm the parental relationships. Here are the instructions: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/DNA_Confirmation"

So, rereading the instructions, it seems to imply that, rather than simply putting a DNA Confirmation statement on my own profile and the profile of the person with whom I share a DNA match, I should put a DNA Confirmation statement on the profile of every intervening profile between me to the shared ancestor and back down to the profile of the cousin with I have a DNA match. Is this correct?

The profiles in question: James-139; Glidden-61; King-30719; King-30718; King-1771

Answer 1

Yep, that's right.  You're using the DNA to verify every parent-child relationship in the chain between you and your DNA match.

Thanks, Lisa. I will add that task to my to-do list.

You can look at my ancestors if you want to see examples; I've done a ton at the 3rd cousin level.

Mine too. Though, I don't go into as much detail as Lisa. Haha. =) Hers is still good.

There are a few ways to go about it. Most of my DNA matches aren't members of the site. So what I have works.
