Apparently I am 100 percent Hekawi Indian, Italian on Wild Eagles side and Jewish on Krazy Kats side. Face it we are all mutts.
DNA results in....I am a mutt...
- Thread starter Ron M.
- Start date
My brother and I both sent ours in to ancestry at the same time.
Our results were very different - I am 50% western European and he is 50% British. The only thing that was the same was 13% Scandinavian. But the results showed us as full siblings.
The other 1/3 of mine looks like a list of peoples enslaved by the Roman empire.

Anyone tested to have their roots in the Fugawe tribe?

My understanding is that the spit test only gets the mother's side of the ancestry, is that the case. Mine came back with 46% undetermined.
about as accurate as any news & weather report.....
How does that work?
LOL i'd rather spend my $$ on Guinness and Cheetos.....
Three things I'm sure of.....
African, just like everybody.
England (Father)
Holland (Mother)
What came before that is anybody's guess.
I do have Royal Blood though. I'm related to Lydia Smith, the "Queen of the Okefenokee Swamp". She was quite a character. Backed men down. Got rich from selling timber for rail ties for the East Coast Railroad. Bribed the Sheriff to get her 'Baby Doll' (Much younger husband) out of jail, walked straight to the bank and cancelled the check.

I pretty well know mine, mostly through documents and records
which family members went clear to Brit isle and Europe to
track marriages, births, courts and ships manifests. There are
a few holes that they never solved but solid in US back into
late 1600s. I spit in bottle too, which makes me skeptical of these
results against the documented proof. I only live 150mi West of
where family was in 1776. Instead of the hill of Old Virginny, I'm
in the hills of SE Ohio. DNA gives us more Native American blood
than documents do. Not enough for a piece of the casinos. The
interesting thing I found was a copy of a had draw map 1777
had our homestead on Sandy Fork of the Cheat River ( now WVa)
and a lage number of other settlers in that area, by surnames
all ended up over here in Ohio in same area by 1780s. Gene pool
was pure around here until Flat Landers and other rabble came
in to work mines in late 1800s.

I understand trace DNA can be obtained from stool samples.
That would tell me things I don't need to know...
I wonder if any one has ever gotten a negative result?

If I go back five generations on my dad's side four of my grandparents were born and lived there entire lives in Denmark, two were born in England, one in Ireland, and one (my wild card) was Pennsylvania Dutch with an old American blood line that goes back all the way to the Mayflower.
Of this generation of eight paternal grandparents, thanks to the work of other relatives, I know all their birth and death dates, when and where they were born and married, their children, and lines of decent.
My Dad had his DNA tested about six months ago and it came back almost a perfect match to his known bloodline. A little bit of French, which was unexpected, probably from our Dutch "Heinz 57".
No Indian blood, but when I looked back another two generations I did have a set of grandparents who lived on the western Pennsylvania frontier who had their barn and cabin burned to the ground by an Indian raiding party.
They survived by retreating, along with their children and neighbors, to a stone block house which was a short distance away, built and maintained by the community precisely for that purpose.
Faimly lore says all the exitment and commotion caused my grandmother, who was 9 months pregnant, to go into labor precisely as the Indians were attacking and had the settlers under siege and lock in their bunker. Parts of that block house survive to this day.

Not the government. For many years the mormans have been collecting DNA from all over the world and they are the ones running the DNA sites. Nothing against the mormans here. Just not sure why they want all the samples along with the seed storage in the artic. Just out of curiosity I looked up my Father's name on acestry.com and the info. Was wrong. When I asked them about it I was told that the accuracy of the info. Is up to the one putting it in and that they are not responsible for it. How confident would you be about tracing your ancestry on such a site. Just saying.

Big deal, Rodney. Turned out I was the stump and my sister was the sap!

OUR WHOLE FAMILY DID IT
DRASTIC differences suggested Mom got around.

They really just spin an ethnic wheel of fortune.
Some things you are better off NOT KNOWING.

My research was very interesting, to say the least--my maternal grandfather was born in White Springs, Fl and grew up in Ocala and Palatka. We always thought we were of Seminole heritage, but found that we from an offshoot of the Seminole tribe---it was known as the Semi-oles,
we was a sort of half-assed tribe.

When I am entered in a chili cooking contest or Cowboy Action Shooting event I dress up to portray a Pancho Villa era Mexican. My brother is blue-eyed and has the northern Europe appearance. He patronizes a Mexican grocery store and when he goes in he is greeted in perfect English. Wearing my glasses and black overcoat, I went in to that store with my brother and we were greeted in Spanish. I told my brother that I wasn't even trying to be in character and he said that is what made it so funny. He thinks I was mistaken for an immigration attorney.

Actually a Wopaho is an Italian hooker.
Mine said I was 73% non-human of undertermined origin.
Strange . . . I look human. Well, mostly anyway.
