Sherry, I think the mtdna results can be false. If you checked through yourself, as a female. I doesn't work that way. It shows up in the male lines. Even though it is passed down from the maternal side. I'm not positive about all of this, but don't be discouraged. If you really believe you are of Native American descent, keep on looking. I had mine done and it came back that same way, so I researched many sites and by what I found this was not the right test for a female. I have no dought that my family is of Native American descent, but there has to be a more reliable way to prove it. Stick with the Cherokee by blood and follow the lines closely. I have been researching for years and found that by going over my oldest research(when I didn't have a clue!) Now am able to follow leads better. Keep on researching!
