Juicy Lucy. Tracing your family tree is highly inaccurate. Even if the mother is known beyond all shadow of a doubt the husband is not necessarily the father. We have to go on the assumption that he is but if this is incorrect then that whole line will be wrong.
I started working on my tree just a few months ago using Ancestry and I have been horrified to see just how many trees have glaring mistakes in them. My great grandmother was married twice. Her second husband had been married before. Of six people who have her on their family tree every single one has errors regarding the parentage of the children. I have certificates and census reports to back up all my findings. If they have demonstrable errors so historically recently just think of the nonsense farther back on their trees.
DNA is unquestionably accurate as I said previously. The interpretation can be wrong but the connection is real.
