After years of being told I was part Cherokee, someone was mad that I wasn't. - eviltoast

He is now denying the validity of dna tests. I don’t want to say the past 35 years of having him treat me worse than he treats his sister had anything to do with his assumptions of my dna, but he was upset to learn that I am more Irish than him. I wonder what he thought of my mother before these results…

    I have documented ancestry of Choctaw, card and everything, but my genetic test show 0%. The blood amount is quite low at 1/128

    This could be because of the way genes work, roll the dice enough time and there are no genes left. On the other hand many Native Americans are not keen on giving away genetic data after their history with the US.

    I’m not saying you are or aren’t part native American, but genetic tests are limited.
