The family story is a lie.
It's not really surprising as during my wife's research, my ancestor's names may have been colorful or different from today's choices, none of them fit the narrative that had been told in my lifetime, which was that we were part Native American. There wasn't any of that. Zip Zero Zilch Most people thought my Grandmother was 100% and Mom's was 50%, including a jacked up name which most people thought was native. This is hilarious.

Did you research the different DNA services? I would like to do this. What made you choose ancestry.com?
ETA: although with family names of Hogan, Honaker, and McClure and my family always being in the Appalachias I don't think there is going to be any surprises. |

It has been in my experience that most family " Histories " are lies . Or at least heavily slanted for one reason or another . So you are not alone and don't take it to hard .
My family told so many tales that turned out to be false that Holmes could not ever figure it out . gd |

I've heard the native American thing from a bunch of people, with nothing backing it up other than the stories. There has to be some underlying mxn or reason behind all the bullshitting about it.

I should do it, my father in law is big into ancestry and all that and was nice enough to look into my family lines. My Dad's side was really interesting. We were basically one of the very first people to inhabit America, we had a Col. in the Militia and further back in England there was a Duke also supposedly related to Robert E Lee but that gets messy because of the Yankee's burning records. He made it back to the 1500's apparently. Let's just say, my family has not lived up to our name since the 1960's

George Washington is my great, great, great, etc. grampa. Abraham Lincoln was a great, great etc. uncle and there is a long list of other great men in my family chain.
Are you saying this could be incorrect? Jesse James actually was my great, great, great grandfather according to my grandfather. He had a huge collection of memorabilia so I believe he believed it to be true. Not sure if that is something to be proud of or not anyway. |

What kind of burning records did the Yankees have? Lots of courthouses in the South mysteriously burned during the Civil War. Including the one that was located about 15 miles from me, burned to the ground during a one day occupation by Union cavalry. Maybe it was aliens! |
