Re: Native American DNA

Found this old post ... I have ordered the allele test on the D9S919 from Family Tree. I figure given it is around 30 or so percent Native for a 9 STR result if I do have Native that is a 1 in 3 shot. I know I show the Amerind rare gene and a Native II marker not sure if or how they relate but I thi...

Re: Thuya

I am watching a documentary, appears to have been originally in French or just because the archeologist was French a lot of voiceover translation. On Curiosity Stream called "The True Story of King Tut's Tomb." Showing some of the background of what was occurring and how it appears that so...

Re: Thuya

I think the hair could be bleached from the mummification. Though it is thick and wavy might be more middle eastern? ... but very cool.

I was guessing that is relating to tribes removed to Oklahoma during the trail of tears. We are similar but still different:

Re: Guiana Amerindian Slaves in 1600’s Barbados

Hi again Christopher. Though I believe I have at least one Native ancestor, still elusive, I do consider myself to primarily white/European racially and culturally. But I am finding there is something to results that I thought had to be wrong. For my sister her Cherokee test she had probably 25-30 o...

Re: Guiana Amerindian Slaves in 1600’s Barbados

I have to tell you that I have just recently found a connection to Barbados and Jamaica but she would have been Irish that were there in the slave trade, Elizabeth O'Neal and her father, great grand father born in Barbados. I found an O'Neal family history from like 1924 saying that the ONeal's had ...

Re: Family photo Vinita, OK

Christopher... A look on Ancestry under the Hammon name I found a connection for us I think. Someone showing DeLoss C. Ford as their grandfather (WR initials) and maybe I have a connection to you in 2 ways or more. Perhaps there is a relation to the Hammon via Emma Rook also shows "Oxford"...

Re: Melungeon Skunk Strip/ Stripe

There was an old time Mexican singer/actor Miguel Aceves Mejía who had the stripe. I read Mejía might indicate Jewish ancestry.

Re: Antique Vase

Very nice. :)
The line pattern at bottom looks like it is at least emulating an African motif. The hammer dings (depressions) made me think of caribbean steel drums. Wild guess might be from some place like Jamaica or Haiti? Anything on the bottom like a stamp or writing?

Re: Native American Florida Match

Marcia, I am not sure if I am reading these charts correctly. But if I am. My alleles fall within the parameters of the Apache list at the link you provided. As well as some Navajo alleles It is a bit hard to sit there and compare but for me (and I was counting how many were either 1st and 2nd most...
