How many Caucasians are digging online to find a Native American link in their ancestry. There’s benefits to it.

My grandfather had an Indian type nose. I’d like to prove some AI ancestry and get some of that casino loot.

I was always told there was a “Genuine Cherokee Indian Princess” in our background. For year we knew nothing of our background as my dad kept it very his for some reason we never found out. When I did, I found a mention of the Cherokee Indian Princess in our background, but it did not jibe with the regular ancestry.
End result, there was NO Cherokee Indian Princess in our background, it was a family myth.

I do a lot of genealogy research and that drives me absolutely bonkers. What is it about finding an American Indian link that is such a Easter egg to white people? I have read about people going and changing their name to something like "Gray Dove Fuzzytail" just because of some random guess of a family history they saw online.

We had the same rumors in my family, supposedly way way back and even sourced and documented. I finally got my father to do a Dna test and it came back zero American Indian, so that settled that.
