Aren’t you a descendant of Pocahantas?
Congrats!, you’re kin to warren! LOL
Has wardaddy been going around saying he is related to Pocahontas? Is he planning to run for President? Trying to remember his cheekbones. ;)
I’m a descendant of Pocahontas, from the Pamunkey tribe (very small sub-group of Powhatan tribes). My grandmother was born on the reservation in Virginia and lived there as a child.
My DNA results came back very confused (Ancestry.com, probably not all that reliable). I think perhaps because there are not enough baseline data points for such a small group of people, as there are only about 30 full-blooded Pamunkey left on the reservation, and I doubt many had testing done. Results said I could be all sorts of ???? heritages — Iberian, Greek, non-Jewish middle Eastern, African (7%, which could very well be correct) as well as Native American.
I believe that my tribe allows you to claim membership as long as you have at least 25% blood and can show family ties. I have never claimed membership, because some of the family history is murky and unprovable.
Warren claims to be Cherokee, correct? I would think there would be plenty of data-points for that tribe. The ridiculously minuscule percentage she is claiming as “proof” is honestly, an insult in my mind.
I’ve got way too many bones in my closet to run for even local school board
Y’all are too kind
Just got back from Baton Rouge where our Tigers whipped Georgia
I drove right by BA south of Jax
came home with a stomach virus ...weak as a kitten
Like a nine year old wanting mommy to pass the paregoric
BA there is a new loop around Memphis opening in one week that is interstate 269 which bypasses Memphis from about 30 miles east from I 40 to about 25 miles south at Hernando Miss on 55
Man that will make the drive so much easier than the old inner loop 240 which always bogged up
I can make Nashville to Jackson in 5.5 hours easy that way
Used to be a toss up Memphis or Birmingham
Man I bet I’ve made that drive 50-60 times past 20 years at least
