It doesn’t matter. There is no autosomal DNA results that can absolutely confirm that someone one had a single ethnic ancestry from 6-10 generations back. It is a myth.
If we are talking about one cherokee from 6-10 generations back those genetic traits are extremely watered down plus the amount of specific DNA traits passed down varies from generation to generation and person to person.
Again — all autosomal DNA tests can really do is match you with distant cousins. It is extremely useful for genealogical research but take any so-called ethnic ancestry results with a grain of salt.
BUT..... Oprah had a DNA test done, and it said she was the direct descendant of a ZULU WARRIOR PRINCESS named CHICO.
But apparently, Warren’s test was done by a private ‘entity’ not a well-known agency that would have a list of her cousins.
My daughter’s GGG grandma is a full-blooded Mohawk from Akwesasne
Indian Resevation in upstate NY. As a matter of fact just about everbody in that part of NY State can claim Indian blood. One of my daughter’s looks like me. She’s light-complected and if she lays in the sun 10 minutes she gets sunburned. My other daughter is dark-complected and if she lays in the sun she gets darker. Their mother and her mother and father had black hair and and also were dark complected. Not a one of them claimed they were Indian. Not a one wanted to. For what. They grew up with and went to school with the Indians who lived right down the road. Every time we went to Massena you had to drive through the reservation. We always stopped for cheap cigarettes. There’s a couple of big casinos and I’ve got a couple nieces who’ve been working there for years. You can tell they’re part Indian, but it’s never mentioned. It’s no big deal, about everybody has Indian in their family. . They would not think of passing themselves off as Indian because their GGG grandma was a Mohawk.
