According to our/my DNA, my siblings and our descendants have zero Cherokee/Choctaw/???? ancestors.
Yet,genealogical documents show over 100 ancestors were Cherokee/Choctaw/???. The math genius in our family jokes that we would need a Cray computer to calculate our % of so called American Indian going back just a few generations. Yet, our current Ancestry.com DNA shows 0%.
Also we have documented DNA showing that I have 3 % African DNA, and a sibling has 2% of different neighboring African tribes. Her daughter supposedly has 2% of the same African tribes and her children have the same African DNA that I have.
The older and hopefully wiser I get, often makes me feel that many of our so called historians and scientists were BSers creating BS papers to get published and to keep their jobs.
When I published those facts on my Dad's side "Face book Family page," one of my female cousins went ballistic.
She accused me of calling her dad a liar. Her dad and I had discussed and discounted the Indian bs many years prior to her birth. I can only surmise she didn't understand what he had told her. The nearest my grandfather had to being Indian was having a close friend who was.
Since she inherited the "Crazy" gene from her mom, I ignore her ranting.
