You'll also find instances where the descent might not, shall we say, line up with the formal record. I have 3 examples from my tree, two where one of my ancestors had an affair with a woman not his wife and fathered a child, and one where my g'gmother was known to be illegitimate and we discovered her father via DNA. I've heard reports of other such findings.
These kinds of things don't bother me, but they do bother some people.
