Another DNA test results from AncestryDNA

I just think in situations people need to cautious how you go about things.

If you come up with a template I'll buy it from you. It took me 17 hours to write 10 sentences when I was 98% sure I had found my birth mother.

Good for you.
Never had the urge to send my DNA off somewhere to go into some database

[Wil Taylor]

Good luck to you

We must all be related. One of my Great Grandpas stole a mule off a man, at sword point, after being wounded at Vicksburg trying to make his way back to Many, Louisiana. My Great Grandpa Small wrote a short story documenting his time in the Civil War.

Your last name is Small and your from Many???? I used to work with Casey at Diamond Offshore years ago.

I find it interesting but have not done it. My maternal aunt has and actually had Native American lines on her results.


Sierracharlie out…

Native American?
If you read the reviews of the various DNA tests you'll see many complaints by people claiming the test results didn't show any Native American DNA.
As mentioned earlier, family campfire stories passed down the generations simply aren't true.
Due to some pretty wild stories from members of my mother's family, I did the Ancestry test and it returned zero Native American DNA. When I announced my results it set off a war between myself and the die hard myth believers.
Otherwise, Ancestry linked up about 100 people I was truly related to. Interesting, but genealogy really isn't my cup of tea.
I'd recommend Ancestry.

Same here. My sister had an Ancestory one done and it came back with zero Native American blood. We are English on my father's side but mostly Irish on my mother's side. My father's family was well documented in England back to mideavil times.

There was surprisingly some Scandinavian, Asian, Mediterranean, and Mid Eastern in there also, albeit a very small percent for the last three.

Certain gene expressions can skip generations-native American seems to be a common one. Mine doesn't show up but my mother had the test and hers does. I expect my children will likely link to it.

I asked my dad about the DNA tests, he said "what fer, they just gonna tell you that your half heathen and the other half redneck".

Not sure how it works but female DNA can be more accurate than male.

The Texas generation thread got me wondering about our family history. I ended up go Mg through ancestry.com and was able to trace back both lines to the 1600s. I’m considering trying one of the DNA kits now.

Good luck on your search and I hope you find what you are looking for

The mothers paternal side can be lost as they do not carry the Y chromosomes

My brother found our bio Mom. She passed away in 2008. He found his real birth certificate. Stuff is moving really fast right now.

I’m sorry to hear about your biological mother, but I’m glad you’re starting to get some answers! That site was amazing and overwhelming when I got on it.

Appreciate it. Wild ride last night. Looking for my birth certificate next.

My brother just had it done. The percentages came back about as we suspected. He was also notified of a 2nd cousin of ours, and she's SMOKIN' hot!

Pretty sure 2nd cousins are legal, right???
