Apparently I’m 25% Native American and 12% African. Like sub Saharan dark as midnight African. No idea where it came from


1. Typical Cajun result

2. Beings as 12% is 1/8thish, we can suggest that either one greatgrandparent was 100% African or perhaps two greatgreatgrandparents had one 100% African parent each. That 12% could be carried a long time.

You could have had a 100% caddo Indian relative from say 1824 but due to the fact that the chromosomes are randomly sorted into the ne t generation, that 100% could disappear from your lineage after just two generations. Or 3 or 4.
They didn't lie to you.

And that caddo Indian had 200 years of Spanish people to have had as sex partner with caddo Indian, say in 1723.

So the caddo squaw was not 100% caddo when Frenchie showed up in the crew that came from nova Scotia.

My wife and kids are about to go through this. She’s from north alabama and had been told for a looong time she is part Cherokee.

We sent ours off a couple of weeks ago.


I already know because my parents did it. I’m like 87% English/Scottish. I’m so freaking white.

It's estimated that around 25% of the Cherokee were actually Europeans, principally Irish, living as Indians. About a third of Comanches were Anglo or Mexican. Your ancestor may have been a European by blood, and Indian by lifestyle.


I wouldn’t be shocked to learn there was once a Chief Brave Horse O’Rourke.

What if you’re whole family and bloodline are from west Texas, which would be Mexican and historically Aztec (potentially with a sprinkle of Native American mixed in), but the border changed? That can’t be considered an immigrant.

Mom's grandmother was a quarter Choctaw. Was born out from Possum Neck, MS. My first cousins signed up for, and started receiving, benefits when they lived in OK. They live in Texas now and still shop at something like a PX on a reservation. My cousins wife has offered to help me apply for being able to receive some benefits, like the place they shop.

I'm a redheaded, freckle-faced, ginger.

ETA:

The great grandmother I'm talking about lived to be 101.

My dads grandmother was 100% Native American.


I was told this my entire life, and just like the 99.9% of other people that were told this, did the test, it came back zero, Zip, nada for Native American.

My dad has always said his side of the family has Kickapoo in them. I believed they even lived on the reservation as kids for awhile.
My mom side has always claimed the Houma tribe which I believe because I have my tribe card and tribal number. I’m almost always confused for Mexican lol

I'm not sure my percentage but my great grandmother on my father's side was full blooded Native American. She was from Anacoco and was very tiny, under 5 feet tall.

Houma. No scholarship though.


You’re from Houma? I thought you were from the Baton Rouge area?
