I've been playing with GedMatch and thinking. It doesn't seem that it would be that crazy to create a database that correlates the matches between individuals and their (non-famous) ancestors. I believe I read about you doing something with your siblings and one of your parents (that you didn't have access to their dna). Is there a program out there or a project that does this?

Every DNA test I've had had shown Native American ancestry, which I knew from my family history and tree. However, with Ancestry's last update, they removed my Native American and increased my Scottish ancestry. Like others this happened to, I wasn't happy about that. A cousin recently shared with me that she and other members of her family had done the Native American DNA Fingerprint Plus test and were very pleased with the results. So I had it done and just got my results. It not only affirms my Native American ancestry but validated two other categories of interest to me: Romani and Melungeon. I have been in a Romani research group for some time, matching my Romani descendants but had been unable to 'prove' I have Romani ancestors. Now I have the proof. I had only recently discovered I have Redbone ancestry, which is most likely the Mulungeon showing up on this report.

I got your Jewish test a couple of years ago that showed I had Jewish alleles. I have a Native American 10th great grandmother who was a member of the Mohawk Tribe. I'm wondering if one of your tests (preferably a cheaper one) would show this ancestry?

I was excited to see the Native American DNA test until I read which ones were included. My husband's brick wall is on his maternal side with his Grandmother's story of 100% Claim of Canadian indigenous connection. Unfortunately his mother died in 2005 and we have no DNA information on her. We have mtDNA which is N1b1b1 from FTDNA. I have also been at RootTech this year and was advised to try 23&Me. Comments would be appreciated. Saundra and Kirk Ashley

Hi, I'm interested in knowing which tribe I come from. I have matched to Powhatan and I don;t know how. I was also told we my family are Creek. Could I be from Hawaii? I heard that once. I'm interested in knowing which tribe of Natives I come from. Which test do you recommend for me? My cousin James Walker has done this test and recommended it. I am not working during Covi, keep that in mind and my DNA data is already on 23&me, Ancestry, and Family Tree . I can be reached at 646-342-6984, please call to help me know more. Thanks! Sibrena
