Regardless of what the bank image shows of where the check was

Not entirely sure what you mean, Jeffrey.
Are the transactions you refer to recorded in GNUCash as money
paid into your account but without a recorded source account? This
should have a corresponding entry in the Imbalance account,
automatically created when you put in an unbalanced transaction.
Did you receive a check which you deposited in your checking
account and for which your received a receipt from the bank in the
form of a date-stamp on the deposit slip, but for which there is
no record in the bank statement (paper or electronic)?
If yes, then you need to take that up with the bank - was the
check bounced?
When you’re reconciling, you’re matching up the bank’s view of the
world with your own, and can only mark as reconciled the
transactions which appear in both.

Easiest example that I can remember off the top of my head is, my wife
recently wrote a check from her business account (her weeks wages) and
deposited it directly into our personal account. The OFX import, and
statement, from our bank show it but there is no matching transaction in
the business account. Our statement has an image of the check plain as
day but there is no match, period, in her business account
statement(s). And what really has me bumfuzzled is both sets of books
are reconciled per their respective statements. And it's not just one
transaction involved, there are multiples. That check did not bounce,
it just seemingly like magic appeared in our account out of thin air.
Magic money.
For now I have the check recorded as a deposit to our account and
withdrawal from Imbalance-USD. Just wanted to get your input on if that
is the best way to handle transactions like that.
Her PayPal dealings are even worse but; that is for a different thread.
