That's true. My wife has a great-grandfather from Austria (he married a Spaniard and moved to Nicaragua) but nothing from that part of Europe showed up in her profile. She reached out to 23 And Me with a lot of questions. They responded pretty quickly and confirmed what you just said. Her mother is going to get tested (Austrian comes from her side of the family) so we'll see what shows up. For all we know the Austrian wasn't really an Austrian. We'll see. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I may be wrong but I thought I read that you receive 50% of your mothers DNA and 50% of your fathers. Their DNA is also split 50% from their parents. There is a chance that one great grandparent could be 100% Native American but you may not receive any of their DNA depending on which 50% your parents/grandparents receive. |

Congratulate your SJW mother in law for having slave owning ancestors who fought for The Confederacy.
Confederate Cherokee reunion Then apply for a card from the non-recognized Cherokee tribe she thinks she belongs to and when you're also a tribal member, you should smoke the peace pipe with her. |

I grew up in the capital city of the Cherokee Nation. A bunch of very white looking people are Cherokee, partially because they didn't seem to mind interbreeding as much. Everyone was a freaking Cherokee Princess.

DNA tests are funny like that. We discovered that my mom is 100% "European" including 29% German (majority) which is what we expected We discovered that my dad has no native American in his DNA despite family claims. |

When the Creeks rolled out the first casinos in Tulsa they were raking in some serious cash and the checks they were sending out were really good. It is my understanding this caused a lot of people to start signing up on the rolls. |

I have a brother in law who married a 100% native american. His wive's family believe that his oldest son is part wolf. They believe it literally - no joke, no "spirit animal" stuff - they believe he is truly part wolf. Not much different than how Catholics believe that the communion wine literally turns into the blood of Christ, I guess. But it's interesting. I don't think Ancestry.com tests for that.

Why do people want to have Indian blood in them? My wife is card carrying member and grew up on the reservation. We get a check every year from the tribe.
However she hates them. She says they are the most ignorant backwards and racist people you will ever meet. To this day she hates being partial Indian. |

http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/288/648/776.gif FWIW family member found an OLD 1860's photo B&W photo at grandparents house, asked about it and found out it was our first ancestor from Scotland in the US when he was about 25-30 and his bride(wedding day), she looked "dark, like Indian or Mexican" though my 23 and me suggests that around 1830's one of my ancestors was born... 50% African American...

Here in Oklahoma, it was all the blacks who claimed to be Cherokee "Freed Men", descendants of black slaves the Cherokees owned who were supposed to enjoy the same benefits that tribal members received.
It got so bad the Cherokee Nation put a stop to it a few years ago and declared the freedmen were no longer tribal members. I think that lasted about 5 minutes while all the "rich and vibrant" Cherokees found themselves a liberal activist federal judge. (they didn't have to look long or hard.) PS: Since you asked, I'm Choctaw and Cheyenne.
