According to dozens of newspaper articles, the genealogy of the family was discussed at the reunions, including their well-documented ancestral connection to the musical composer Johann Sebastian Bach.

In 2015, they created a deceptive DNA Project online, in yet another desperate attempt to prove their fraudulent genealogy; they simply wrote in the name of Harman Back as being the ancestor of each DNA participant, even though he was not the ancestor for the participants from this Back (Bach) family from southeastern Kentucky.
