   If a person submits DNA for testing, they are in for a disappointment if   
   it is done to determine their ethnicity.  DNA is a biological factor and   
   has nothing to do with the social environment the person, or his   
   ancestors were in.   
      
   If there existed a group of Chinese living in Europe for several   
   generation, and you matched that group, your DNA would show Chinese   
   ancestors not European ancestry.   
      
   However if you have a DNA Match to a person it is a fact.
