Some times doesn't it.
There have been some references to Native Americans in our lineage. But pretty much all the recent documentation shows nothing. Occasionally one shows up in the early 1700s but isn't there now. My daughter wanted to do a 23 and me test. Nothing there. But the results show pretty true to the records compiled. My stock comes from the British isles and half my late wife's does also, the last 1/4 is from the Jewish area of Poland.

Not sure I will pursue the issue much more.
