emmdee2,

maybe one day you will find out who they are. Hold on to them and maybe ask anyone on your dads side if they may know who they are

Cherokee, Natufian and American Indian

My recent Cherokee test resulted in a highly likely for Cherokee ancestry. While I realize that DNA Consultants can not comment on other companies or other raw data utilities. I have a question regarding Natufian percentages on Gedmatch. Also on my Melungeon report concerning my alleles I have 3 Jew...

Melungeon Skunk Strip/ Stripe

Does anyone know what a Melungeon skunk stripe/ strip is? I was looking for information on the Tihanama when I came across a blog post which included information on Melmuth Lakey, a Melungeon? Which stated he had a Melungeon skunk strip. This is rather curious for me as one of my aunts, dads sister’...

Re: Guiana Amerindian Slaves in 1600’s Barbados

emmdee, One thing I love about DNA Consultants is that they will never take away our population matches. I have not yet lost my trace amounts of NA on 23andme yet. They did however take away my Spanish/ Potuguese and add Angolan/ Congolese. Which still falls in line with my DNA Consultants results o...

Guiana Amerindian Slaves in 1600’s Barbados

This has been a long journey. And one I am sure will continue for the rest of my life. Had it not been for DNA Consultants though I may not have looked as deeply into many of my ancestors from 1600-1700’s along the East Coast of America. I found one of my 9th great grandmothers that was born in Barb...

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

Marcia, I have markers for Jewish I, III and IV. Not positive which side or if both. But am fairly certain moms side at least one of the markers. The Veatch is in my dads side. “The Sheriff” sounds familiar like I have read about him somewhere else. Interesting also is I have read that Quakers had i...
