I read somewhere that there really isn’t Cherokee DNA and it shows up as something else like Jewish or Asian. I don’t really remember. I had .1% Middle Eastern but everything else was European (Scottish, etc.) I was joking around with a friend about the ME DNA and was told Adam and Eve. LOL

There are a lot of rumors about some early and probably eastern Europeans becoming Cherokees and some of the other so called Civilized Tribes.
Some say that is bs. Others, like me with decades of genealogy work, feel that something is wrong here.
I have friends and relatives with basically zero African DNA being traced, identified, and documented to where their ancestors came from in Africa.
Yet, their American Indian DNA “ain’t here” with most of us.
Some say, “Supposedly this is supposed to be corrected this summer.”
So much of our history is based on fiction/hear say and zero reality. DNA can be the tool to tell us a lot of the reality, unless it is programmed to ignore certain data.
Politically, the real DNA data if there is any could be like time bombs that could create a lot of political unrest.

Also, I have been told that since I’m a male and many of our documented Indian ancestors were female that their DNA wouldn’t show up on my DNA .
That doesn’t apply to our Africa DNA. A female sibling shows the same DNA re African heritage as mine. So does her daughter’s, her grand son’s and grand daughter’s.
