Re: Native American - Choles - Chiapas Mexico
Native American - Choles - Chiapas, Mexico - rank 11 is listed in my World Population Matches, too. I’m hoping to learn more about it as well. You might want to look at my post in the Cherokee forum where I’ve given an overview of my World Population Matches.

Re: Myths and Truths
Hi Theresa,
You have major clues to work with - Romany/Gypsy as one of your top megapopulations as well as Melungeon and your family history. What an advantage we genealogy searchers possess being able to find key evidence in our DNA results to confirm our family stories! -- Shari

Although to this day, many still try to stay “invisible” in order to live peaceful lives, other Romani are publicly advocating for equality. Dr. Ian Hancock is one and there are others as...

Who were/are the Romani people?
In the recent years DNA testing has revealed hugely significant amounts of information about the many peoples of the world. This is no less true of the Romani. Just the fact that a person can know his/her ethnic ancestry from a DNA test is astounding in itself. Before my mother’s and my autosomal DN...

Map - Gypsy Migrations 900-1720
I will always wish I could know about the lives of the many ancestors over the centuries of my two Romani great...grandmothers and what they had to endure coming from Northern India to eventually reach the Shetland Islands, Scotland.
