There is NO way they can do this. Chances are near nil he would share any DNA, and the records going that far back are questionable, IMO.
Highly plausible. Do the math. If members of each generation from this guy John Punch on down produced only four offspring each, there would be 67 million people (Maybe even Mitt Romney) who could claim direct descent.
Desperate people tend to clutch at straws.
