Best to consider any DNA matches that share less than 10 cM as being unreliable, they may in fact be false positives.

Given the generational distances as advised it may well be that you have not inherited any DNA from this line.

If you have not already done so I would go back to the drawing board and validate that each xGreat Grandparent is a MRCA with at least one DNA match.

Thanks for the advice.  There are a couple of 16cMs on the Quebec side.  On Sarah’s UK side there are no DNA matches from any of her supposed ancestral lines, which still makes me think I have the wrong parentage for her.  As suggested, I intend to go back to the drawing board and start again.  Thanks very much for your help.
