I was not surprised, but same circumstance happened a few times over in my family free with Dutch relations in NY with NA.<br />I don't believe in "noise". My experience is DNA is always saying hi if it makes it way to you.<br />Freedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195170846353406939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242187022431135161.post-90690183618565323782017-03-18T07:45:11.881-04:002017-03-18T07:45:11.881-04:00Hi.

I found church and court records going all the way back confirming her native identity. Per Gedmatch I have a small % of Native ancestry that seems about right and on Ancestry I was thrilled to find several matches with distant cousins who share this same lineage, but no other apparent connection to me. Your DNA result could be correct for your mother's side but it is small indicating going back many generations where women's identities were not always very well known. DNA analysis seems to usually underestimate, rather than overestimate Native American ancestry. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
