Try DNA testing that is always a revelation and they can match specific ancestral lines by region . In that the Human Species originated from a very small population in Africa 70,000 to 40,000 (nothing in Geological time) DNA testing can show origins based on changes in DNA differentiation from migration. If your ancestors are from Africa there is more genetic differentiation in that migration was more localized. Since Neanderthals were not in Africa that DNA came from somewhere else. I have about 4% Neanderthal DNA and I do claim my Neanderthal ancestors who were most likely female (the males like most mules were sterile).
