My My heritage dna results are in. Mostly British and Irish as expected. That very small amount of Native American(or similar) has turned up again.

Lets play Cowboys and Indians, you and me will be the Indians (I’m Native American Indian also) and we’ll get to give the Cowboys some nice warm Blankies this time!
Woot-woot!
Small pox anyone?

It’s interesting getting the small amount, I also get it, or similar(Amazonian,Surui), with dna land and dna tribes.
However given that I have no colonial American ancestry,as far as I know, it’s a mystery where it might come from.
There’s an Indian in the woodpile somewhere.
You can fool a lot of things, but DNA don’t lie. American Indians did travel off the ‘reservation’ via the ships and into other countries.
My mom’s dad is half American Indian and English. It happens.
Wasn’t very ‘cool’ to be part Indian until only the last couple of decades, before that, you just didn’t openly admit it to anyone.
Nothing to do with you firemonkey, but,
I just loooove it when these radical supreme beings claim pure lineage…heeheehee,
as one heavily into genealogy (by choice), I’ve learned there ain’t no such critter, despite the volume of their protest.

If the smidgin of NA is true it’s fine by me. 0.8 would point to a 5th gt grandparent or earlier.

If you want to do both your maternal and paternal lineage, it’s good to know that you can only follow your all- female line on your maternal side - through mitochondrial DNA, but to get your paternal lineage, you need a male relative, preferably your father, brother, or an uncle or cousin from your fathers side.
Males have both mitochondrial DNA AND a Y chromosome, so they can trace both their maternal and paternal ancestry. Females, who have mitochondrial DNA but no Y chromosome, can trace only their maternal ancestry.

I am variously for Ydna E-BY5219 at Family tree dna and E-Z16664 at Yfull. A member of the double helix forum(E halopogroup discussion) who collects data on such stuff has me as the only E-BY5220. Therefore so far it’s a private snp.
mTDNA -H67. Family tree dna has 6 coding region matches with location given.

if they did my heritage dna they would find mostly Irish. my great grandfather lewis came from Ireland and moved to wisconsin before settling in indiana i also have two different kind of native american. after that i think its german, jewish, polish and flemish dutch. according to family legend on of my great great grandfathers was an escaped slave that made it to a reservation. but once again that is just family legend nobody knows for sure since my great grandmother’s parents and first husband were killed by the american army
I like you @firemonkey 
I am half man half amazing. With a little bit of pit bull and silver back gorilla mixed in.

Very interesting @firemonkey
Both my parents had their DNA done through 23 and Me?
That’s pretty cool that you have some Native American Bloodlines.
That is really interesting. My results show 1% Neanderthal and the rest Western European, Scandinavian and Irish and British.
You’re 100% Tim.
