A male relative in my family had his DNA tested. As it turns out there are 7 men who match him 25 out of 25 markers. This means they all related and had a common ancestor somewhere back in Virginia. Now, the family that the paper trail leads to had 4 brothers. Can I just pick out the one that I want to be my ancestor and claim him or do I need further proof? Seems to me that is exactly what they did in the Thomas Jefferson - Hemings case, they DECIDED Thomas Jefferson was the one even though it could have been someone else in that same family.
