Re: My updated Rare Genes results

Sounds as if the newer test is supporting and refining the information you've found in other tests. Congratulations!

Re: World Ancestry Map

Re: Crypto Jews

Christopher, I agree we may not have heard/learned about everything in school. Even if it's taught or in the textbooks, people expect teachers to cover everything in all subjects, and I just don't think there's enough time. The best we can hope for is that schooling gives us a thirst for knowledge a...

Re: Enrolled Cherokees

Raven, I checked on the Enrolled sampled population and was told they are from Georgia so they likely are part of the Eastern Band. As we know, the genetic alleles reveal connections our family histories often don't include. I had no idea I had any Native until I got my results. I have Cherokee Admi...

Re: Native Americans in match list

Good question. I asked Dr. Yates and he replied:

This is the aggregate population of new tribal populations described here: https://dnaconsultants.com/news/tribal- ... ose-added/ . It's found on our website.

Re: Viking DNA?

Yes, it's all intriguing. In the DNA Consultants' new Primeval DNA testing's Vikings in Medieval Iceland, I had a high match of 10.62%, and an 11.40% to the individual Njal. Fascinating branch of heritage. If anyone wants to learn more about connections to ancient populations, sample the company's l...

Re: Mexican/Central/So.American Great-grandparents

Shari,

I'm glad you've taken the time and put in the effort to fill in the missing parts of your family tree. These give us a sense of who we come from, who they were in their own time and how they fit into the fabric of human history.
