This is
consistent with expectation for a surname that originated from a single
ancestor, since, in the centuries since then, about half of the lines
are expected to have a false paternity event (FPE) somewhere in the line
of descent (unfaithful wife, adoption, unmarried mother giving child her
own surname, etc). This phenomenon of FPEs is widely documented in
DNA-genealogy literature.>>
