Would not the ending balance from the previous statement be the same as
the checkbook (reconciled) balance unless a previously reconciled
transaction has disappeared from the register or been changed to
un-reconciled?   In either case, you still have a mystery to solve to
get a correct reconciliation.  Perhaps I do not understand your question. 
Transactions that were matched with downloaded transactions are marked
with a 'c' while transactions that have been reconciled are marked with
a "y".  Normally you get a warning if you try to change a reconciled
transaction.
