Since the Ambassador had been station on board Spacedock for some time, he had seeked treatement at Sickbay at some point or another.  As a result, there was a medical file available for him that included his genetic profile.  A quick scan revealed the some of the DNA samples on the parchment were his, though not all of them were.
