So I got a "chastising" email from a volunteer mode asking me to confirm a GreatGPA link I added. So I provided a link to the 1910 census as a reference and tried typing it out like the help file showed. One of the names simply said D.J. NORRIS (age 4). And that was how my GreatGPA was always referred to as "D.J." Even in my GPA's obituary. So when I did my DNA I found out that D.J. stood for "Daniel J." - still unknown what the "J" stands for. 
I get it, PROOF IS WHERE THE PUDDING IS, but he wrote back stating that I still needed to provide proof. Well, I know that mispellings always happened in the census because they didn't normally send out those with mad english writing skills. But my DNA confirms his name.

So I almost just deleted my entire tree if this was how it was going to be. 

Then, this morning, I got an email with the following: (and a nice graphic of my entire NORRIS upline as "proof"?)
Italian Notables:
22 degrees from Frank Sinatra
33 degrees from Pasquale Aleardi
24 degrees from Lucrezia Borgia
24 degrees from Frank Russell Capra
25 degrees from Stefano Casiraghi
32 degrees from Guy Lombardo
29 degrees from Sofia Loren
27 degrees from Guglielmo Marconi
27 degrees from Pope Urban VIII Barberini
23 degrees from Umberto di Savoia
26 degrees from Martin Scorsese
22 degrees from Rudolph Valentino

The graphic showed how I was "related" and that it even gave me names higher then D.J. which matched my DNA confirmation listing.

Does wikitree not allow DNA uploads like other sites?

Thanks!!
