Node "I" isn't in the Patriarchs table, but you will find it in the DYS values table. The reason I haven't entered the data there (like I have for the other nodes) is because neither member of the node has given me consent to publish their data yet. That's also why the "I" entry in the data table just says "Private", with no link, rather than a link to the DNA donor's page showing his claimed descent. I usually update all 3 at the same time once I get consent. But in this case, I suppose I should add those two patriarchs to the table, since it is still useful information, and wouldn't violate privacy to add. And of course I could add another "Private" entry to the DYS table to represent the other member as placeholder. As fas as John and Giles - one cannot conclude that they are brothers from the DNA alone. These markers mutate slowly, so even 4th cousins should match. All that can be said is that they almost certainly share a common patriarch within the genealogically relevant timeframe (i.e., subsequent to the widespread adoption of surnames). Take a look at those members of Node "J" or "27"...many of them are 6th cousins or more remote, and they still match.

Great news. I believe I have found the link between the two men in Node "I". I am currently in Robertson Co., TN and have spent the day in their archives. I've found strong evidence for a link between two brothers who came from Mecklenburg Co., VA in the 1700s. Each is an ancestors of the DNA contributors. I hope they give consent to having their lines published. I also hope this leads to the discovery of other links.
