Can this report prove or disprove my family stories or genealogical records?

Why genetic ancestry can support or complicate a family story, but can't confirm specific ancestors.

No — and we'd caution against treating any genetic ancestry report as proof or disproof of a specific family story. This report can support, refine, or sometimes complicate your family narrative by showing how your DNA lines up with Greek and Balkan regional and ancient patterns. But it can't confirm or deny specific surnames, birthplaces, or documented ancestors.

For the fullest picture, use it alongside records-based genealogy (vital records, census data, church records), local historical context, and relative matching on platforms that compare DNA with living relatives.
