Maternal line mitochondrial DNA test-takers:
There are problems with all four of your DNA confirmation statements.
The first one refers to a match between Woodworth-1921 and Johnston-4019. The Relationship Finder says they are 3C1R, not 3C, thus requiring triangulation.
The second one refers to a 4th cousin match, requiring triangulation.
The third one refers to a match of Wooworth-1921 and Jacobson-2349. The Relationship Finder says they're not related.
The fourth one refers to a 3C1R match, requiring triangulation.
Please see the new DNA Confirmation Citation Maker here: It will help you determine which relationships can be marked 'confirmed with DNA' as well as draft the statement(s) needed.
I've changed both paternal and maternal relationships back to 'confident'.
For your DNA confirmation statement: Because the matching test takers are more distantly related than third cousin, you will need to use triangulation. See this part of the DNA confirmation instructions:
I've changed the 'confirmed with DNA' entry to 'confident'. Please add the appropriate documentation before changing it back to 'confirmed with DNA'. Thanks!
