And it absolutely does not make her mother (!) a Cherokee and known to be a Cherokee as she claimed.
hmmm...I might just point out there's now more evidence to support her claim to having a native American ancestor then President Trump's claim to be a genius or a billionaire.
tulc(just a thought)
She's mostly European descent but the test confirmed she had Native American DNA from somewhere between 6 and 10 generations back. Even if it was her 6th generation back it would be much but to someone who has done Genealogy reports it would show why the story of having Indian blood would affect her but this is usually how closely families kept records, usually Bible records.
Turns out that, according to the research, it was more like 10 generations ago and one unidentifiable ancestor only.
It’s almost like the claim of Irish Americans of being “black Irish.”Nice try, Senator Warren, but having one ancestor from 200 years ago or so does not make you or anyone an Indian (or any other particular ethnicity, for that matter).
In fact, it probably is the case that MOST Americans whose ancestors have been in this country since the early 1800s are Indians by that reckoning! However, I am now sure that she will be going on the attack, claiming that she proved her contention.
That is incorrect. I read the results provided from the lab. Estimated at 8 generations but could be as much as 6. Overall it placed it at between 6 and 10.
But it true but it doesn't mean that she was lying. She said that those were the stories told to her by her parents or other family members.
How it makes her look depend on the onlookers. A person who understands genealogy hears these things all of the time. Stories are passed down through families all of the time but before DNA tests they were hard to verify.
