Indian Princess somewhere in the family history of my wife’s father’s side of the tree. At least that was the story.
DNA check had nada, zip, nothing.
She was almost all from the Ireland, England Islands with a touch of Germanic.
The same here on both sides of my family.
My maternal side has well over a 100+ Genealogy documents/records of Cherokee and other American Indians cited and showing birth records, marriages, service in the military, deaths and other standard genealogy docs. We never heard a thing about Cherokee/Indian blood or relatives from our parents, aunts/parents and grandparents about any Indian blood.
Yet, I have 4th generation grandparents with documented records as noted above.
Supposedly, my dad’s ancestors had Cherokee and American Indian blood. There is zero DNA and zero paper documents showing, any Cherokee or American Indian blood.
There are some interesting theories of how DNA games have been played here.
You may already know this, but that is the most common family myth handed down each generation. (Indian Princess in the family line)
