SO YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE NATIVE AMERICAN ANCESTORS IN YOUR FAMILY TREE?
Almost every genealogist researching a
family that was here in the mid-1800s has heard one of their relatives say
"and one of our great grandparents
took an Indian as his wife." Of
course, until now there has been almost no way to confirm these family traditions. Now, with the advent of autosomal DNA testing
(the kind performed by Ancestry.com, 23andME.com or FTDNA's Family Finder) you
can find out if you have Native American blood.
The results will give you your ethnic makeup, what we call your admixture. These tests can tell you once and for all is
any of your genetic make-up come from the Native American Gene Pool.
If you have established that the family
tradition is true, what do you do
next? What are your options? First you will need to identify likely
candidates for the honor of being you Native American ancestor. I suggest you look for your ancestors who
would have been born in the areas where there were large numbers of Native
Americans living, such as Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Georgia and
Oklahoma. Once you have selected a
likely candidate, start scouring the databases.
Below is a list of some sites that may be helpful and what they contain.
