Action Steps
- In each of these situations, change the paternal status from ‘confirmed with DNA’ to ‘confident’:
- No DNA tests are displayed in the ‘DNA tested’ section on the right side of the profile.
- Only one DNA test is displayed in the 'DNA tested’ section.

Logically, descendants of a person on 2 lines match. Such as, myself to my father's, g-grandfather's, sister's, g-grandchild. confirming descendancy of the shared ancestor and therefore the line of ancestors in between? Logically, my father is confirmed by DNA if his brother and I match One on one; my self to my uncle who has been matched by reported DNA testing?

Is the profile of a direct family member and on a profile you manage? If so, please read the description at the top of this page which states:
Father is marked "confirmed with DNA," but the words "paternal" and "confirmed" do not appear in the biography.
The description also says that the DNA Project oversees this error. There is an app link that might help there also.
You are relatively new to WikiTree, so we suggest you contact a leader or PC of the DNA Project listed on its project page if you need further assistance.
For us to investigate further, we need the link to the profile that generated this suggestion.
Happy Holidays, Sheryl
Also, when I compare Green-41672 to the GEDCOM, the GEDCOM lists parents and siblings which I do not have. How do I know that the GEDCOM is accurate before I add them to my part of the tree?
