    1. Re: [DNA] Matches on Ancestry Circles

    3. When I triangulate a match or receive an Ancestry DNA Leaf I add a leaf photo as the primary photo so that it shows up on my tree at Ancestry. I consider it a confirmation if the tree branch continues to show "leaves". If a branch has one leaf and no more for the person's ancestors, then I start to question the branch.
