Is it possible that my family legend of a ggggrandfather who was half Cherokee and moved from NE Alabama to Arkansas in the 1830s was really a half Senegalese?

---

Or Mom's fibbing about Dad!

lol. Nope. That math doesn't work. Ggggrandfather at 50% Senegalese math works. I doubt that Cherokee comes up as Senegal. I forget the term they used. Low something. It did not print on my printable profile.

Ah ha. No I don't have the wrong thread. Still have my 14 day free trial from Ancestry. So I can follow the "leaves" on my family tree and complete that pay for a month of I need it. But ... ancestry has all of these DNA cousin matches and they have a DNA circle (group) that requires another membership. So, ah ha.

It may be time to trade in your Indian headdress for a West African Gele or Kufi.

I have already spotted one online. I am hoping it is in by the Big 12 tournament.

I talked with my 1st cousin who has much of our research. She has one pending with ancestry. It will be interesting to compared her results.

The dental formula for peccaries is: 2.1.3.3::3.1.3.3

I wonder how many divorces and breakups Ancestry.com has been responsible for.

Ruh Rohhh!!!!! I am NOT the father!

You say you have 15% British ancestry as well? Well I have to admit, the guy you posted does have some similarities to this early British man (who I strongly suspect I share a common ancestor with)

I see the resemblance.

Low Confidence is the term that they use for my Senegal and Finland/Russian. I think my Scandinavian comes from England and Vikings as you mentioned.

My cousin did mention that we were related to the Major General that put that kibosh on Roswell, NM.

So basically your ancestors would sleep with anything.

They were more like the Hulk, exotic blood chemistry which showed up strange when we got angry.

On a serious note, a really heavy percentage of my ancestors died fighting in wars or in barfights.

Or so you think. I had a mean grandma on one side of the family and a mean aunt on the other. I couldn't just hear that either had died. I had to go to the funeral home and see it. They were tough broads that I expected to pop out of the casket at any part of the service.

This helps explain the ancestry DNA ranges and sampling.

Substituting your brother won't help you golem.

We did the 23 and me test since it does medical genetics as well... pretty interesting

Anyone noticed how they used the dna from one of these sights to catch the California rapist/killer dude?

Link is two posts up from you. My warning to Golem who was going to have his brother test.

I got mine back a few weeks ago.

Shocker, Scandinavian, German, Iberian peninsula.

As if the blonde, hair, blue eyes and neanderthal features weren't the first clue.

Ancestry revised me. They have more samples to better define my DNA.

57% England and Wales
35% Ireland and Scotland
5% Sweden
2% Norway
1% Cameroon, Congo, and Southern Bantu.

Happy to lose my Russian. I think Ancestry's sampling is still off as I have a French surname in my ancestry. I thought the previous zone with Normandy area, Belgium, and England was accurate.

I feel I lost a bond with some Baylor ballers moving several nations away from Senegal. But, I like the Cameroon hats better.

The weirdest part is that it looks like I am a distant cousin of Joe Biden.

Congo

Crazy

I'm popping pills, smoking weed and drunk as ****! ***** I'm going Congo!

Congo

Another word for "Da Hood"

Yo man we got to watch our backs were in the congo

My latest update in this weird trip:

1. Still Congo/Cameroon
2. Zero relatives arrested because of my DNA test
3. Still adjusting to the discovery that I am related to the former VP Joe Biden
4. My first cousin messaged me that we are related to Elvis and she is sending me the trees

Same exact here.

87% Northwestern European and English/Wales.

Think Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany mixed with UK/Wales.

Basically Vikings.

Blonde hair and blue eyes...but I can also get very tan. My Dad can get super darkish red.

Mine oddity is two fold - one, I'm a little bit Indian. Not the North American kind. And two, I'm a little bit Jewish. As thats not a country, guessing they can trace you back to a tribe!

Sorry, gotta go - and plan my bar mitzvah...
