I had my DNA done - my mother was half English and half Scot. I have Spanish also...among other things...including a bit of Mayan. My father’s side of the family got around.

I’m going to see if I fit in that R1b halpotype. My whole life I’ve questioned everything, had to try to figure it out for myself, and am very stubborn and independent. My boss even says she looks to me to ask the questions. Maybe it’s genetic.

I’m thinking about giving my sons DNA testing for Christmas. I’ve done quite a bit of genealogy. I do have two distant ancestors who were Indians and each married a white settler, one in the 18th century and one in the 17th century. My mother’s maternal grandmother has no proof in her genealogy of native american or african blood but I have a lock of her hair and it is very dark and very straight. It also has no roots so no, I can’t have it tested. I do have two relatives that I want to dig up. LOL One I am sure is a step mother and the other I’m pretty sure is my great great grandfather’s half brother and a slave when he died in the late 1850s. He had the family name, had made two long migrations with the family, and was buried in the family plot. Actually, I’m not sure he was a slave but he lived and died in slave states and was identified on his tomb stone as “colored.”

What kind of questions?
