My husband is very ill, and age 60. He had always wanted to have proof of his Cherokee background, and DNA not only made this possible, but changed my husband's outlook on his entire life, at a time when nothing else had lifted his spirits. The people who work for this firm, are personal and caring and helpful in opening doors to other ways and means of discovering not only your past, but groups you can join and support available to those who share your DNA background. The cost is very reasonable and really, how can you put a price on the rewards of knowing who you really are.

I took this test and got a positive result and certificate. Does that mean I can claim to be Cherokee, or even a Cherokee descendant? NO! To quote the result: “U.S. Cherokee Admixed appears in your top world matches at rank #12. A related population, Native American-Michigan, is #2. It is thus HIGHLY LIKELY (emphasis mine) you have significant amounts of Cherokee ancestry.” Given the reality of intermarriage between nations, the match to a database of genealogically-defined Cherokee descendants and enrolled members means my ancestry could really go back to one of a dozen tribal nations. My genealogy documents descent from Croatoan/Cheraw/Lumbee individuals. This result validates my genealogy. I may find documented links to enrolled Cherokees in the future, or not. But the results have already helped me connect with individuals with the same surnames in two of the nations.

I took the cherokee DNA test and found out that there wasn't a match for cherokee. My top 3 matches: (1) Saskatchewan, (2) Northern Ontario, (3) Northern Ontario First Nations Canada. I found out that my Mother's side has ojibway heritage. Thanks to DNA consultant who helped confirm this research.

My DNA-Fingerprint Plus analysis confirmed that which I already knew: I had British genes. Lakota Sioux genes, Austrian genes. But it also led me into the beginning of my genetic history. I knew some facts about my ancestors several generations back. But this test expanded those "branches" and suggested the origins of known ancestors, filling in a more complete mapping of my genetic makeup. The trip was exciting and opened my mind to generations from the beginning. My DNA-Fingerprint Plus analysis was the finest birthday gift I could have ever received.

This test is extremely detailed and well worth it. It provides matches to cities and states. I was able to confirm Native American ancestry that other companies could not confirm. It is so detailed that it even confirmed Cherokee ancestry for both me and my mother. This is a great test for anyone who is very " mixed."
