Re: Clarification

I hope others can do better explanation but each person's mix will be different and so a smaller quantity of say Lumbee related results might still be a higher part of your son's results, he might have results related to Lumbee that are different and more frequent say certain type of European or Afr...

Re: Possible False Hispanic match if you have NA ancestry

I have Portuguese Northern, Central, Porto, Madeira at 2, 12, 15, 33, 47. I also have Armenian Gardman at 41. Melungeon is my number 1 match, Lumbee at 3 and Cherokee at 9 and 52. Could the Portuguese matches possibly be of Native American Origin? I can not find any actual Portuguese ancestors with...

Re: 10 Rare Gene Alleles

So are there Cherokees that have the Rare Gene for Crazy Horse? I can't say that I am Cherokee (I don't have genealogical proof, no family history other than a reportedly "part Native" great grandmother) but on my Native Fingerprint the Cherokee Enrolled population was my #1 World Match -...

Wait there might be more than one now. Love Brewster 10th and William Brewster 11th grandfather. Mig...

Re: Family photo Vinita, OK

Hello Christopher. Good to see you on again. :) I will have to explore those connections further. Genetically, I have found a distant relation to some Sizemore families. One gentleman in Kentucky has a Q Y haplogroup which shows Native on his father's line (and he heads a small regionally recognized...

My updated Rare Genes results

I took a chance and paid for the new test knowing it might be the same as prior. Turned out to have been a good risk as I did get two additional markers: Crazy Horse and Marco Polo. :) Slight disappointment had no Odin, I have a lot of Scandinavian but didn't get that one. So in total I show 8 of th...

Re: Rare Gene- ABCCll

If you have 23andme they show your result for earwax on their traits, though they say I should have wet with a CC on the gene... I think it has to be more than one gene or SNP in the gene? I don't really have the heavy wet earwax, was told I had the cleanest ears a doctor ever saw and asked if I was...

Re: Jews and Muslims in British Colonial America: A Genealogical History

I have found a trail back to Nicholas Bacon, father of Sir Francis Bacon (?) but mine via Nicholas' son Edward Bacon, this on my mom's paternal side. I believe he is mentioned as Crypto Jewish or Sephardic Jewish in Jews and Muslims in British Colonial America. Shows as my 12th great grandfather. Th...

Re: Native American DNA

Well got the D9S919 result today... 17 and 18 so in the same position as prior.Oh well... just neither prove or disproves anything. Both are world wide, 18 seems pretty sparse and lower percentage on the Native populations. The 17 figure is 12% for Cherokee and 18.8% for Creek so not impossible I su...
