That is, assuming the officially recorded parents are the actual biological parents. It's not nice to talk about in polite society, but sometimes people are mistaken about biological parenthood, most often fatherhood but sometimes motherhood too (think: babies swapped at the hospital). All it takes is one error to invalidate the whole line behind it (though, eventually the line will hit your ancestors again anyway).
