Great Work !
This review is from: CHEROKEE DNA TEST
Thanks for all the tests you have done for me over the years!Hope you all have the best of holidays this year !
With the release of our forensic database you can now find out if you have a high match to either admixed or official enrolled Cherokees. The two reference populations called U.S. Cherokee Admixed (n = 62) and U.S. Cherokee Admixed (n=92) were our first populations, created in house from a combination of participants in our Cherokee DNA Studies who traced their mother’s mitochondrial lineage to a Cherokee woman and a random sample of customers who indicated to us that they identified as Cherokee. In a big advance, we added the first available tribal data with a population called U.S. Cherokee Enrolled (n=33) in July 2018. Most recently, in 2024 we added Texas Cherokee (n=54).
Your personal DNA profile is compared with our data for more than 90 American Indian populations from numerous countries in North, Central and South America as well as Asia. In addition to Cherokee, possible matches include Apache, Navajo, Salishan, Inuit, Lumbee, Chukchi, Huichols and Canadian aboriginal tribes, representing a total of nearly 5,000 subjects who identified as Native American, American Indian, indigenous or aboriginal in forensic studies.
If you receive a positive match to one or more of the Cherokee populations your report will include a Cherokee Match Certificate. If you do not receive a high Cherokee match your report will include a Native American Certificate listing your other Native American matches, depending on your results.
You may also order a Cherokee or Native American Certificate. Check out our deluxe styles, including Cherokee Firebloom, exclusive to DNA Consultants!

This is a forensic DNA test based in part on publicly available tribal American Indian data published in K. Carrothers et al, “Native American Population Data Based on the Globalfiler® Autosomal STR loci,” Forensic Science International: Genetics 24:e12-e13. This is a non-chain-of custody test and cannot be used for legal or administrative purposes. It does not yield percentages of ethnicity. Note that no DNA results are accepted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to claim membership. Your Native American ancestors may be very far removed generationally or their genes are too weak to register statistically. Your results may or may not confirm expected ethnic composition, family history or genealogical determinations. Alone, no DNA ancestry test may be used to prove identity, biological relationships, nationality, citizenship, immigration or tribal enrollment. IMPORTANT: We don’t use Generative AI in ancestry research or genealogy studies. Your data remains private and is never shared with AI systems.
Test to see if you have any Cherokee ancestry.

Thanks for all the tests you have done for me over the years!Hope you all have the best of holidays this year !
I would recommend DNA Consultants to anyone wanting to know about their Native American &/or Jewish Ancestry. DNA Consultants is the BEST DNA Company on the market for both!!!
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 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.
The Cherokee DNA test is an unusual, well-presented product. It delivers what it promises in accuracy, speed of execution, and convenience. The Cherokee Match certificate is bound to please a certain segment of purchasers. It’s a great gift for someone who has everything, and important for anyone digging seriously into their genealogy. It was clever of DNA Consultants to isolate Cherokee and other Native American markers and design a test that can select out this special ethnicity. I have heard that Native American DNA tends to “wash out” and not register in general population DNA tests so the test plays its part in preserving knowledge of Cherokee lineage. One addition that would enhance the product might be to take the top five statistically significant Native American groups that flank the Cherokee DNA and highlight them.
The kit arrived fast, was as described. The product provided was detailed with easy steps to follow and the return package had postage paid. The lab results provided were simple and easy to understand, also contact telephone numbers and e mail address are provided in case you have any questions. I was told by my Grandmother that she was Cherokee, and my father was Irish and Italian. The results arrived and I was pleasantly surprised to find that in my top genetic makeup was Cherokee as well as Salishan (totem pole builders ) from British Columbia. Also the European and eastern makeup makes sense. If you want to know who you are, and where you come from, DNA Consultants are the way to go!
