You can have a rock solid paper trail of birth certificates, baptisms, marriage, death certificates and all kinds of legal documents. So you have a confirmed family tree
and all professionals would agree.
However that means nothing once you take a look at the DNA.
The DNA tells you the truth. Not the paper trail.
The only legitimate way to confirm your family tree is YOUR DNA.
Not your cousin's DNA or even a sibling or parent.
Your DNA is the only confirmation of parentage and family tree.
I do adoption searches and it is amazing how many people's DNA does not
match the paper trail. There are always some surprises.
That is funny yes. You could be a daughter of the confederacy. 
Amazing the things we find out in genealogy.
