I doubt the DNA tests. I've traced all my ancestry to 1850, and some to 1560, 1200, and 700.

Until they can prove, in a double blind test, that DNA produces results entirely consistent with verifiably traced ancestry using actual contemporary paper records going back centuries, DNA testing is just SNAKE OIL to me.
