I’m curious to know what you found as to his percentage. Can you tell us?
And by the way, almost all of us Southerners seem to have vague family legends about N. A. ancestry. But when we take DNA tests, that kind of ancestry almost never shows up.
The problem here apparently is not that our family legends are usually incorrect, but rather that the N. A. is so many generations in the past that its percentage in our DNA is simply too small to be detected.
