Hi Lisa,

Thanks for your comment. It's been awhile since I've looked at these profiles, and so admittedly I don't remember exactly what was going on. However, I do notice that on the profile of Peter O. Powell Sr., Ambrose Jr's brother, there is the note that

"Paternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group consisting of Jerry Couch GEDmatch H423348, Debbra D Rogers Hart GEDmatch T794298 and Cecil Melton GEDmatch T480965 sharing a 11.5554 cM segment on Chromosome 12 from 417135122 to 53254006 "

In that triangulation group, Jerry Couch is a descendant of Ambrose Jr, and so if this comment applies to Peter, it must also apply to Ambrose Jr. I double-checked the triangulation group on GEDmatch, and it seems to approximately check out (except the bounds of the match seem to be slightly off). However, I do notice that the account pointed to under 'Debbra D Rogers Hart' is unconnected. I wonder if this was a connected profile when the above comment was added, and since the connections to the parents were severed? In any case, I suppose the disconnectedness of this profile renders this triangulation group invalid. If that is the case, I suppose the 'confirmed with DNA' tag should also be removed from Peter O. Powell Sr.'s profile as well, and the whole chain down to whichever descendant.
