Thank you for sharing this code. I'm also curious about my heritage. However, I don't believe I'm of Native heritage. Cassis may not be genetically related, but in her heart, she has a deep connection. God blessings over your family.
The kits are much cheaper now than what I remember years back when we were into genealogy.
Thanks for sharing your video y'all have a wonderful day also God bless yall 👍🏾🙏🏽❤️
I Live in Northwest Alabama and my Great Great Grandmother was a mid wife. They lived across the road from two reservation camps. When it came time for the birth of their babies, the Indian children would come across the road and get my GGGrandma 11:55 Martina Gray a she would be there until all babies wrte born. My Great Grandma said she got to go with her sometimes. She liked to play with the kids . The older women would cook for all and watch the kids while grandma Was bringing t j e babies into the we world. I have pictures of her with some of the quilts they gave her and cards the kids made her. Once they gave her a black kettle pot they Cooked in because my great grandma Mattie was fascinated with how they were used to cook in them in the ground . When she passed away at the age of 97 she made sure I got that pot. I miss all her stories she would tell me of those days.
That is a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing your grandma's story.
@lorenrobertson8039 your welcome. I miss her telling them to me.
I would suggest doing the Ancestry DNA test (they have a much larger database). Remember you randomly get 50% of your parents DNA. Testing parents/aunts/uncles would be beneficial. They would be more likely to show Indigenous ancestry because they are a generation closer to the source, so to speak. However, the best way is to build your tree and compare your DNA matches. That will give you a better understanding of where your ancestors came from. Ancestry results can be uploaded to MyHeritage, but MyHeritage cannot be uploaded to Ancestry (last time I checked anyway).
I did my DNA about 10 years ago and it is has changed many times as more family do DNA. Keep checking and you may get the results you were looking for.😊
Please continue to pray for me and my family and my daughters kids for the loss of their mom, my daughter. She was only 32. My heart is broken. I send prayers to all who needs a prayer. I pray God keeps you all safe
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Doing DNA can bring some shocks. I was adopted. According to Heritage my daughter searched for my birth mom and found her and she was connected to a family who now lives in CA with "baby" and my birth year listed.. My father (or so we thought) had already passed at that time, as have my 3 half brothers. My son did a DNA test a couple years ago and some mysterious names came up. But nothing from the family we thought. We started researching those names (old yearbooks, death records, etc) and speaking to my half sister on my moms side. W found out who my dad was and that there were some actual close contacts between my mom's family and my dads family. My half brother on my moms side was actually the husband of one of my cousins on my dads side, and yet they NEVER knew they had a connection. My birth sister actually remembers my dad coming to their house. I also found out that my dads 5th generation back mother is full blooded Cherokee and was married to a Cherokee Chief. My son does have 2.4% american Indian. I am currently in Kenya so I can't do one from here, I've checked. As soon as I get back into the states next year I will take a test, probably with a company that has more markers than what my son's did. It has been an exciting adventure finding out my birth dads family. I still have 3 living brothers out of 8 on my dads side and 1 living sister and me, out of 10 on my mothers side. I am so excited to explore more about the Cherokee Nation when I return. My birth dads family was from SW Missouri, so that makes sense as well but migrated to California before he was married and had kids.
Love your story.
My husband had specific stories that he was Native American, did the DNA years ago, showed none. Wondering if the tests are better now. Our son-in-law is 1/2 Chippewa & 1/2 French on both sides. He grew up on a reservation in North Dakota. I really would love him to do a DNA test because he KNOWS his ancestry.
I recommend trying CRI Genetics' Advanced Ancestry Analysis as there's a chance that his Amerindian ancestors are more distant than a typical Autosomal DNA test can uncover.
Also, there's a chance that he has Amerindian ancestors but didn't inherit any of the relevant ethnic markers in his DNA.
A DNA test result can tell you which ancestral ethnic markers that you inherited, which are proof of ancestry. DNA test results don't prove lack of ancestry, they only provide proof of a portion of one's ancestry.
To be a registered Cherokee you must’ve 1/4 by blood. My grandmother was full blooded Cherokee, so I’m 1/4.
My great great grandfather was Chief Sinclair. I’m very proud of my heritage!
Cassie it's sweet because you both care so deeply for each other and your family. In today's society that's a rare thing. Just keep enjoying your life and ignore the naysayers
My older sister did one of those DNA tests. We always knew we were Scandinavian (Dad's parentage), but found out we actually have Irish ancestors. So on Mom's side, German, French too.
Cassie, don't give up hope! Sorry, long post. I have a strong Scandinavian heritage with family names of Olson, Rasmussen, Danielson, Hanson, Peterson and Krueger (had to throw one German in the mix). Ancestry showed I am 82% Scandinavian, 8% German and then a varying mix. I thought all of my relatives came over in the last half of the 1800's, but discovered that my 'Great Grandmother had relatives that came over from the Netherlands due to religious persecution on a ship called the "Spotted Cow" in the early 1600's. Going back from there I discovered my 10th Great Grandfather married the granddaughter of an Indian Chief from the Montauk Tribe of Long Island. The Montauk Tribe of Indians was disenfranchised from its ancestral lands by the decision of a judge in 1910 and gradually spread across New England. One band relocated to Brothertown (Eeyamquittoowauconnuck), a little community on the eastern shore of Lake Winnebago, just south of where I live in Green Bay, WI. I never dreamed I would have any Native American heritage. My aunt is a Menominee Indian, adopted as a baby by my Grandparents. She's 4 years younger than me so we grew up together. My other grandparents had 2 permanent Menominee Indian boys that they raised from the ages of 2 and 6 that I also grew up with. Both sets of grandparents fostered many children and among them Native American children. My parents and my aunt also fostered children. It also was a part of my heritage growing up. I had a lot of built in playmates, but it was hard to see them go. Some became lifelong friends and my grandparents always worked at reunifying or at least keeping the family bonds going. I realize this information might not be totally accurate, but it sure has been fun researching. So Cassie, try digging into your history and you might find those Native American ancestors!!! ;-)
Cassie, keep watching your DNA results. Mine came back with unexpected results, too. But they keep testing and comparing results against new information. A lot of American Tribes crossed into North America by the land bridge from what is now Russia and Alaska (the Bering Strait).
The way you look at him is very deep. You do have that look of devotion, lady! He feeds your spirit. Y’all have a spiritual connection and know how blessed you both are in having each other in your Lives.
I love how you pray together, loud & proud, and by faith show what our God means to you & your family & friends.
Y’all are having TOO MUCH FUN!!! 🕊️🌸💫🎶
That was the same explanation my grandmother gave me when I asked why she did not register. She told me that if she had, with as much Indian blood as she has, she would not have been allowed to leave the reservation until she was at least 21-25, which would mean she would not have been able to go to the college of her choice.
We’ve been told we’re Cherokee. I haven’t done those tests. 😮
Cassie, we’re cousins somewhere in there.🎉🎉🎉
Recently found your channel. I have always, since I can remember felt very close to nature and animals. My earliest memory is sitting in the grass and a humming bird coming up and buzzing around me. I couldn’t speak or walk yet. I remember being afraid at first because I thought it was a bee. Then amazed. Last year, or maybe it was the year before, I had a humming bird meet me in the garden every morning through spring to play in the spray as I watered my plants. It was delightful.
Found out at 40 yrs old, over 20 yrs ago, now, that I have substantial Native American ancestry. I felt like that explained a lot for me. My dad’s mom was born and raised on a reservation (Iroquois, Mohawk, Turtle Clan). I don’t know if she was full native, but I get that impression from the photos I’ve seen. There are native names for those words I have discovered. They are long and I never remember them, though. His father was an Englishman. They were all very proud of that. My cousin gave me an ancestry of that line he had done. Unfortunately, I only met them once, when I first found out and they live very far from me and I didn’t stay in touch after I deleted my Facebook page.
My dad’s sister had, I think, 11 kids. They are all registered with the tribe. I cannot because clan membership is passed on through the mother, not the father. Some of my cousins told me they were always advised not to divulge their native heritage because of fear of negative reactions.
My mom is French and Scotch Irish. Her Dad was first generation from Ireland.
I was raised by first generation Sicilian immigrants. My grandpa on my mom’s side got citizenship after fighting in the world wars then brought his family over. They had some stories about the journey, hardships, hard work, prejudice. My dad’s family were Italian from several generations back and mostly farmers.
I considered doing a test. It’s tempting, but I don’t feel comfortable letting a company have my DNA. Some may be better than others, but I have heard stories of some tests giving wrong results, too. So, Cassie, you may still have native ancestry. ☺😉 Some things we may never really know until we are face to face with God. I have a lot of unanswered questions, but many of them likely won’t matter at that time.
I think you should test your parents and grandparents! Especially grandparents ❤
Cassie, my grandma always said I had Cherokee well my son got me a “kit” for Christmas! Needless to say, I’m going to try a different company!
I'm a member of the Modoc Tribe from Northern California/Southern Oregon. The trail of tears was bad times. Some of the Modoc returned to the home land and some stayed in the Miami Oklahoma area.
One way to get light, cheap, multi-purpose furniture that fits perfectly inside a camper-bus is to make it yourself. There is a book called "Nomadic Furniture" by Victor Papanek and James Hennessey which has many good ideas you can adapt and get inspiration from. This book is from the 70s and no longer printed, but your local library probably has a copy.
I had my DNA done by 23andMe. I came out as 99%% European, of which 88% is British and Irish, 9 percent Scandinavian, and 8 tenths of 1% ( .8%) Native American and one tenth of one percent sub-Saharan African.
My father is the first generation of his family born in the US. His father was from Poland. My Mother always told us she is Heinz 57 variety , a little of everything. When I lived in ND there were several reservations around us. I was a foster parent at that time. I had my 3 sons, 2 foster children and was contacted asking if I would take in 3 Native American children. I dont know why, maybe full houses but none of the other foster families would take them. I had a full house but also had the space and could not turn children who needed a place to go away. The way I looked at it was the more the merrier. It was always fun to have lots of children in the house. My husband is also Native American
As a rule, always test the oldest generation first. Myheritage has been know as the least accurate, it has been the most popular in Europe. They are trying to build their database. For years you could transfer a copy of your DNA there for free. I have 5 DNA kits on all major sites. Ancestry, GEDmatch, FTDNA, myheritage, and 23andme. I will say Ancestry has been the best for cousins matches, and building my family tree. Their data base has always been bigger then the others. They also have genetic communities. You don't get them for all of the ethnicities you are. But the ones I have so far, are spot on. We have 2 Irish lines we knew nothing about. But now with my mom and her 2 sisters DNA we do.
Good Morning Walker family! My kids and i did the DNA test a few years ago. It turns out that i am a percentage of Native American and im so proud of that. My kids have a small amount too. Our 4th Great Grandmother is full blooded Cherokee. I recently got a picture of her sent to me and i was so proud. Thanks for sharing this information on the testing on you both. Pocahontas is our 10th Great Grandmother as well. Im proud of my heritage either way. God Bless you all!
Cassie it will be interesting to see your Mom's DNA results- also if your Mom has brothers you can see your paternal DNA.
the BEST way to actually rule out (or in) native heitage is to have more people in Cassies family take the DNA test . You get 1/2 your DNA from mother and 1/2 from father and there is a chance she didnt get the parts from either side family. THAT doesnt mean its not there just not in her DNA . I did ancestry dna and have been building my tree with documented relatives and there are many nationalities that i personally dont have in my test but ARE actually related including a verified direct link to the first nations tribe near Port Royal in Canada in the 1500"s .
so there is a chance her family is not wrong .
Don’t feel bad Cassie. My family told me all my life we were part Cherokee. I did DNA test and not a trace of Native American blood.
I have a 4x time great grandmother that was full blooded Penobscot, born Old Town, Maine. But my dna shows nothing. So you could still possibly be have Cherokee blood just not enough to be shown.
Ditto!
My family always kept a family lineage , at our local library, there is a family tree document on file. I am a descendant of Scottish, Irish, and ancestry of Pocahontas, which was not really her name by the way. And the misconception that she was a traitor to the Native American people, she was actually kidnapped bye the Europeans and horrible things were done to her. I call it the first early version of trafficking. Her story could not be further from the truth than what is told. It’s a shame how history gets twisted to save the dignity of royals, elites. Governments etc. I don’t know how many times I have been told my ancestor was a traitor to the Native American people, all because the true story, or history was hidden, or changed. I hope someday our true history will be revealed. Love y’all.
What a great movie the true would be.
Wow! Great story.
Sorry to say but history is always written by the victors, even tho they lie like a mofo. Then 100 years later the true comes out. Shameful isn’t it!
My husband and I did our DNA a few years ago. I have always been told there is native Indian in my ancestry. When we sat down with Mom and told her we had done our DNA, she repeated about the Native American. We laughed and told her I have no Native American in my DNA. I have found cousins on both sides and do communicate with two, one from my Dad’s side and one on my Mother’s side.
@@sherrytackett571 I agree with you on how history becomes distorted. We had been told in history books that the Karankawas were cannibals. Absolutely no proof of that! We found a place where they lived and did surface collecting. We found their campfires and know what they ate. Absolutely no human bones! Now the Apache Indians were absolutely brutal! Five women in a field and brutally murdered with tomahawks and huge points that were left in the women's bodies. These women were probably Karankawas.
Cassie and Gary thank you for sharing everything.God bless you all .
Family history is fascinating, but has become an expensive hobby over the last 20 years. I love the UK census records - I think of my great grandma being an Umbrella Sewer as her employment every tim I use one - it was in the 1901 census record!
That said, since I supposedly have cousins in Ohio, I decided to try the kit with the coupon code - and it worked! Usually, codes are only for the USA ppl, so I am going to try the DNA testing - thank you very much for the shipping, Walkers 🥰
Interesting! Glad it worked
I did Anestry about 6 years ago. I discovered my grandfather came from Scotland about 3 years ago when he was 21. He died young so didn't get to see him that much. I just remember his funny accent when he talk wjile i was sitting on his lap.
Cassie looks more Native American than you Gary! Lol. God bless you all and many 🙏🏻 prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 ❤️
I wonder what the average genetics is for the whole Cherokee nation. I think the Cherokee took in other non-natives into their tribe, which is super interesting. There are several states with Cherokee nation lands; I'd like to know more about it. There is a dice roll effect in genetics too, so parental stories are not necessarily fictitious, just that Cassie's makeup came out with the older genetic lines showing. We are all so heinz anyway, no need to get overwhelmed by it.
🇦🇺A few years ago I organised my family do an ancestry DNA tests. My brother, sister (different mother), aunt, 2 cousins and their mum, 3 daughters , 3 grandchildren and myself. One of my grandsons has 17 different regions. We are a heinz variety. My mum’s family is German, French, Spanish, Jewish and dad Is Austrian, Hungarian, Czechoslovakian. I married an Englishman with Irish and Welsh. My eldest daughter married a New Zealander with Irish. So we are a bitsa, bits of this and bits of that.
I really don't know how the two of you keep up the pace with all of your activities. Driving children all around to their camps. Ransom looks just like you, Cassie. The mouth and smiles. I've mentioned that before. Nice family!
I used 23&me. It's great, because if anybody else who uses it, and they're related to you, you know it right away.
Yup 👍
It’s the look you give each other.. such love.💕 🎉❤
Cassie, it was a compliment. ❤ We all have our various "looks" at different times. Your plans for the bus seem pretty perfect to me. I'm excited for the camping trips! Love the family! ❤❤ God bless. 🙏🙏
I was always told I had native American ancestors, but I did the DNA test and found out that no!, no native American blood in my history
It’s really cool to find out
I have done my DNA with Ancestry and confirmed that my ancestry and ethnicity match. My ancestors came from Scotland, England, Ireland, and part of France. My main ancestry is from Scotland.
Cassie, get both of your parents to do their DNA. It will be interesting to find out their ethnicity.
I’m a genealogists and the DNA tests only go back 5 generations .. so no Native in past 5 generations but doesn’t mean that it’s not a bit further back ..
@@LochapRhys my ancestor is there, but she is 7 generations back so no DNA. I was guessing my maternal grandmother would have been in the last generation of our lineage to have any visible DNA and she passed away over 60 years ago.
I've done both the 23andme, and Ancestry DNA tests. I am 73% Scottish and Irish. I am 3% Native American, and have ancestors listed in the Dawes Commission records, as being Chickasaw.
Family history is a very fun and exciting way to explore your family and record it for future generations.
I always heard my Mother's Mother was part Cherokee. My Granddaughter took a dna TEST AND IT CAME BACK NEGATIVE.
Real linoleum had asbestos in it. That's the reason it was discontinued and vinyl became so popular, if my recollection is correct
I looked up why all mine and my siblings results are a little different. It explains that all dna is not inherited evenly just like we have different color eyes, hair and have other differences. It said after several generations, some small dna may not show up anymore, so Cassie's family may have had native American ancestry.
Wow, I was really surprised by Cassie's results! I always guessed that she was at least a partial Native American heritage. But I guess I was wrong too!
Good morning, praying for all that's recovering from heat waves God bless be safe love ya'll ❤️ 😊
Oh yes Cassie I’ve noticed for a long time the way you look at Gary …….It’s so sweet I think it’s the I love you look …….i know it makes me feel good seeing you look at him that way ….💕
Hey Cassie, you have such a heart for native Americans and that should count for a lot!!! Love you guys.....God bless always! 🙏❤️
My husband has been told that his great grandmother on his father’s side was part Cherokee, part runaway slave and part white. The family lived in western North Carolina, so this would not be surprising. Unfortunately, husband’s grandmother died at the age of 32 from complications of childbirth and the family fragmented. When we did DNA testing 15-20 years ago when these home tests first came out, my husband showed no Native American blood. I wonder if the current tests are more accurate and if it’s worth repeating? One interesting side to this is about my father-in-law. If you have ever been to a Texas Roadhouse and seen the large mural with the face of an older Native American man, it’s a dead ringer for my father-in-law to the point that we avoid looking at it because it’s so unnerving. He passed in 1992, but we still can’t look at that mural without getting goosebumps.
There is some evidence that supports evidence that Scottish, English and African indentured servants, mixed race people and slaves escaped over the Appalachian Mountains and lived and married Cherokee and other tribes and were subsequently moved along with the Cherokee as the goal was to clear all the land of claimants. Your parents and grandparents should take the test because they carry genetic information you don’t have. Cassie’s mother could have Native American genes that Cassie doesn’t. I started DNA testing in 2010. I was trying to find out my paternal grandfathers origins. Turns out he had the wrong last name. Which is disturbing because you find relative you don know you had. Most people can trace some ancestry back to early colonial days. I am related to Benedict Arnold a double agent and to Richard Henry Lee who made the Motion to Declare independence and a signer of the DeclarationI
I was surprised also, my DNA test did not include any Cherokee or Native American although my Mom's family heritage included it. 😊
Love you all so much! Continued prayers and God bless ❤
❤Cassie You are Blessed as Well as Gary!! You All have Jesus Blood Now!! SO I'M RELATED TO YOU BOTH!! GOD BLESS AND SEE YOU ONE DAY, 🙏 ❤️ LOVE YOU ALL. Hope Cassie & Mazzy or having Great Time. 👍 Ranger too!! Your Tuff Gary ALL Dad's as Well as Mom's Need Prayers! Thanks for Sharing about the test. Think I'll just stick with the Info We have on Record!! ❤ GOD BLESS & THANK YOU FOR NO DRAMA! ❤
Playing catch up. My husband had a stroke on Wed last week. Been at the hospital with him. He got home yesterday. will be a long road to recovery. TFS! Blessings to you my friend. Have a blessed week. ✝🙏🏼💕
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Gary and Cassie, I love you guys. I am praying for your family. I love the camp time. God bless you all and until next time stay safe
I found out on a different site that different dna tests can give some different results. If they don't have a large sample of native Americans in their data base, your dna may not have anything to match to.
DNA is a funny thing. Each parent passes down a random part of their DNA to each generation. So Cassie, it is possible that you have Native ancestry, but you just happened to take more after the European side of your family... crazy thing is, your siblings or parents could show up Native just because they happend to inherit that particular strand of your Ancestors' DNA. ❤
Cassie my ancestors left the South East before they were forced to so they have no Roll number.
We are of a tribe called Western Cherokee who have never been recognized by the government
I’ve tested 10 people in my family and I manage over 20 dna kits for friends. I love genealogy and building family trees!
That is a surprise. When I first started watching your channel and you mentioned Cherokee Nation, I thought Cassie had the Cherokee blood. It was a few videos in that I heard Gary say he had Cherokee blood.
Gary and all the kids are Cherokee Tribal members
I also took a DNA test and The results came in 100% from France, but do check ancestry once in a while because there’s always updates.
Looking forward to receiving the freeze dryer. Have wanted one for long while thank you.
I need to buy one of these. We’ve traced my family back to land in NC and SC. Story is they didn’t want to take the a role number.
Keep checking your reselts because they get updatedas more folk get tested
Well it happened again!! I am subscribed to both your channels but did not receive alert on this one🤪But I found you.😁😁
I did a DNA test my grandmother was at least 50% Choctaw Indian it shows no Indian heritage in my test you used to be able to look at my father and tell he was Indian
I had the same thing happen to me. I have my mother's skin tone, black hair and brown eyes. She was 1/4 Choctaw. All my aunt's and Uncle look Native American on my mother's side. My dad always told me we were Irish and Indian...
I would retest..if I were the Walkers. Just to see if same results..
I've also heard thru friends that the test didn't say, what they had proof of thru factual family history.
🤷
Every single person I met in North Carolina, claimed to be part Cherokee. 😂
I put vinyl in my kitchen 23 years ago. It is still in perfect shape lol.
It would be interesting to take the test again and see if they come back with same results
Enjoyed the video. You keep me smiling. God Bless You All. ❤🙏
We still love you Cassie!
Good morning Cassie and Gary and family. I always enjoy your videos. Be safe on your trip.😊
Lol on the looking at Gary. That could be a loaded statement. You two are a great team.
Cassie, mine came up 1% Native American, but it did NOT come up on my first results. They update as time goes on, as new processes are found. No charge. I am a certified genealogist. Don't despair!
There isn’t a test for Native American, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have Native American in her tree, just means she didn’t inherit any of it.
Prayers for your travels 🙏❤️🙏👍
You two are a delight, thank you for the entertainment. Have fun kids……
Love all of u family and God Bless
Cassie,Hello fellow Scottish person 🏴 Maybe I should get my heritage done ,I’m saying I’m Scottish even though I was born and lived here all my life I’m maybe part French or Something 😂 I’ve done my family tree but not too far back but got stuck but there was French people on my fathers side. It’s always an interesting subject doing the family tree. Great video guys 👍
Love your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and your family
Hi Walkers, good to see you. I did that, and I am mostly European English.
Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video
Thanks for the catch up Have a safe trip take care God Bless. 🙏💕
It's interesting that siblings can have differing
rsults.
Have fun at camp Cassie ... Gary you GOT this!!!!
Very interesting and enjoyed watching.
Like Cassie, I was told there was native blood in my family but did not find any evidence of it in my DNA. I have traced my family tree pretty far back and I have been able to figure did out why my relatives/ancestors might have said this.
My ancestor (the one I inherited my last name from) was the son of a fur trader living in British North America. He was kidnapped as a child in a raid conducted by American soldiers and their Indian allies. They killed his baby sister and left his mother and two other sisters in the woods with no food or shelter. The Americans gave the boy to the Indian allies as a slave. This was common practice for the Americans at the time. He grew up in the tribe and learned their language. Eventually the tribe met with hard times (i.e., were betrayed by the American gov't and not given land promised them). They told my ancestor he should leave and find his white family as he had no future with the tribe. He did find his white family. Several times, his Indian "friends" paddled canoes up the St Lawrence River to visit him and they would speak together in their native language. I can see that this would have made an impact on his children who would talk about it to their children, etc. I also found male relatives who lived common-law with native women, and in my time, one of my first cousins married a native man. They had a son who reached out to me via Ancestry DNA. He wanted to know more about his mother's side of the family. I checked my tree and found his mother (my first cousin) was one-quarter native and his grandmother (my aunt by marriage) was one-half. This was news to him -- he had assumed his mother and her family were white. He is actually 62.5% native, by my calculations. Also, I grew up with my grandmother's stories about the native people she interacted with, and have a few stories of my own. So lots of associations with native people.
What does this mean for Cassie? Well, going by my family, Cassie may have relatives with native blood, but who are not her direct ancestors. So don't assume because of the DNA results that
that Cassie does not have relatives who have native blood.
I love you guys no matter what nationality you are
Hello Walker Farm Fam. DNA kits can sure open eyes. I did mine many years ago. As well we did my husbands. Enjoy your time with Mazzy and Gary Enjoy your time with Little Bear and Ransom🤗🤗💞💞💙💙
Hello Gary & Cassie, i love watching y'all. Please remember my family in your prayers. I need to do that DNA thing. Ive always been told my Great Grandma was a quarter Cherokee. God Bless everyone.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
So many of us think we have Indian blood because our parents feel us that . But few of us really have it, myself included.
My maternal grandfather was Blackfoot Northern Europe. However, he was adopted out so he was then considered Northern European. If you look at my mom you cannot dispute she’s Indian but when my oldest daughter took this test, it showed Northern European, English, and Scottish.
Hopefully you hit that view full everything that's there ! ❤ love it
Hey Cassie...you are one of the finest members of the Human Race... God Bless your family .I am genuine Heinz 57
Our North Carolina Cherokee are a rennant of the ones the were forced to go west ,they hid and were left behind. They put on a play about it every year,to tell their history,at Cherokee,NC.
I’ve seen that play and it is very good.
My GGG Grandparents and their children and families moved from Cherokee, NC to NE Georgia about 1805. GGG Grandmother was supposed to be full blood Cherokee and GGG Grandfather half Cherokee.
This was fun ... my great great grandmother was (supposedly) full blooded Cherokee Indian. My DNA showed no native American blood in my DNA ... lol, I have most respect for our Native American Indians.
Interesting results! I honestly felt like she looked more Native than Gary! Love sent from Vermont!
Good morning Cassie and Gary!! 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
