I don’t know there’s a good chance that the lizard could be related to ‘Liawatha”
The big surprise for me was finding out I have Wampanoag in me.
The location and stories of my 6th, 7th, and 8th Great Grandparents living on Tribal land had many thinking they were allowed to by the Indians. Had no idea they were the Indians! LOL
Makes sense though, I had 2 families on the Mayflower, the Wampanoag were the people that befriended them and helped them.
Do you by chance know the name of the ship that was to have sailed with the Mayflower?
“I am the Lizard King, I can do anything”
“ Do you by chance know the name of the ship that was to have sailed with the Mayflower?”
————————————————————————————
It’s been a while, but I think it was the Speedwell.
The ship that was suppose join the Mayflower leaked and took in so much water it had to go back to England. The Mayflower went back too.
I think it was about month later only the Mayflower set sail and came here.
In my family my dad always said my grandmother was part Cherokee. But she was a Mennonite. No Native blood at all.
The actual Indian blood in my family came from my mother side. The New Mexico people intermarried with many Native American. But you can’t tell which tribes. Could be any from Ute to Apache to Navajo. Not many people with New Mexico ancestry can tell the tribe but they all know they have native blood. My sisters’ DNA test says 17%.
Men and boys were killed, women were raped and disembowelled, while young girls were taken as slaves.
Jackson knew many wanted revenge and wanted to end the animosity for good.
Another little known fact was that the Cherokee had many black slaves and some Cherokee fought for the Confederates during the War.
After the war, federal troops had to be sent to Indian Territory to force the Cherokee to free their slaves.
Yep, my FIL was adopted, and found his 2 siblings through 23andMe, after searching unsuccessfully for many years without submitting a saliva sample. He and his brother litterally look like twins, speak the same and have many of the same habits and interests.
After submitting my parent's DNA, I see many known relatives as matches. I also found out my estranged grandfather, who abandoned my grandmother while she was pregnant, wasn't my grandfather at all, and found a DNA match to mom's half sister who was born and raised in the same town. Go figure. So, yeah, it works pretty good in my experience, even uncovering grandma's little scandal from the past.
Here in GA we have green and brown anoles galore and I love every single on of them. They devour palmetto bugs and other pests and are as entertaining as they are interesting. We welcome their presence.
Of course we also have tons of five lined skinks, they love the meal worms that fall out of our tray feeder for the birds.
If he didn’t send enough saliva, why didn’t 23 and me inform him of that fact - instead of simply sending him fake results?
I think they have something against Native Americans myself. My results came back with 0% Native American ancestry even though my maternal great-grandparents are in Dawes (Cherokee Dad and Choctaw Mom) and my grandmother married a Cherokee-by-blood.
I have two Irish family members who sailed ships to the US and back, bringing settlers, who married Native American women and took them back to Ireland to live with them. Their offspring were mixed in first names between traditional family names on both sides. Strange to see when viewing family tree.
I didn’t watch the video, but I suspect that he made the whole thing up as an antisemitic dig.
23 and Me nailed down my ancestry to the precise county in Ireland that part of my family came from, and the specific German region where my grandmother was born. I was impressed.
I’ve done ancestry and 23&me. I was able to determine my biological family as well. Neither uses swabs. Btw they pegged my ethnicity to a tee.
My husband did ancestry, we were able to determine what happened to his grandfather who his grandmother escaped from with the rest of her children. He remarried and had 2 more children. Irony of it was that my mil had a half brother she never knew about and they lived in the same area.
Ancestry was able to identify a small portion of native American, as well as indigenous central American. Plus the appropriate amounts of the various European peoples who settled the American colonies as well as Mexico.
My aunt, who was in the DAR, traced our family history and discovered we had family on board the Speedwell. She was just crushed to learn the ship had to turn back. She wanted to be able to say our family were original founders of the country.
I wonder how many folks know that.
If you’re serious about DNA testing then you do Ancestry to get a broad cross section of people who are closely related to you, Family Tree DNA to better identify your haplogroup and distant family, and then 23&me to corroborate the data. The points all three agree on can be assumed as accurate. Remove the extraneuos noise and you’ll have a fairly accurate picture.
That said my family always claimed Irish ancestry and also claimed a Native American in the family tree.
Using the above methodology I found out we’re pricipally Scottish with Nordic roots. I also identified my father’s birth parents which led me to his adoption papers. The DNA told a truth we never knew.
We are not the least bit of Irish lineage but our lowland Scottish family lived in Northern Ireland from ~1765 and started migrating to the USA in the period 1846 to 1920. Which is where the Irish origin story came from.
The DNA can lead you to truths and stories you never knew. It’s a fun journey if you decide to do it right.
