This highlights the value of geneology by DNA versus written records. I have already connected with a "Grant" via DNA, although no such name exists in my recorded family trees, on either side, for the past two hundred years. This is why the Jewish tradition of tracing the mothers past is the true indication of one's origins. Most of us have "illegitimate" legacies, and often not that far in the past. It definitely complicates the research.
