How does lead-206, coming from a source other than radioactive decay, affect the age of a sample?

So, a sample of uranium-238 decayed into lead-206, and I figured out how old that uranium-238 was, but what happens if some lead-206 from another source other than radioactive decay is present? How does that affect my age estimate?
