Did you and all your matches export to Gedmatch? Otherwise you're not verified as per DNA, even though it has a high likelihood given the paper trail but you're only ICW and might not triangulate with all in your DNA circle. Unless I understand DNA circles wrong and Ancestry does the triangulation for you automatically to form a DNA circle but I think they only do ICW and not triangulation. Can someone with better knowledge of their algorithms comment and explain?
