I've been reading various posts on Facebook from people who are worried about this, and some say "but I've found the genealogical link with some of my 6 - 8 cM matches". Yes, but that genealogical link might not be where the shared DNA segment comes from.
Not long after I took my DNA test, I was impressed to find that one of my matches with one of those small segments was something like my 8th cousin once removed on a certain line. But later I figured out that I'm not actually biologically descended from my supposed ancestor on that line.
