2 of my Grandparents are about one fourth native american. So that makes me about one eighth. I thought about a 219$ DNA test,but what do I gain from it? I already know Im part Native American,and I dont think any tribes,will let You be a part of their tribe,just from having Native American DNA. I MEAN THE EASTERN BAND OF cHEROKEE,TO BE A MEMBER OF,YOU HAVE TO HAVE An ancestor that was on the 1924 Baker roll. And my Native American ancestors,in 1924,didn't want people to know they were Native American. I met one of my half Native American Great Greatgrandfater's Sister,and I asked her about being Native American,and she gave me an aggervated look,and said that she was all Crosby. Her Crosby ancestors,I found out were Irish.But the other half of her ancestors were a mixture of Southeastern Native American tribes. Cherokee,Muscogee Creek,and other tribes that I don't know the name of,just location.

Derek is right, to join a tribe you have to meet the criteria and DNA isn't one of them. I suspect some day there will be court challenges and only time will tell if they will need to change that.\ As for women being tested for DNA. Yes, there is a matrilineal dna. That means the gene is passed from female to female in the line. If you believe your line can be traced back female to female to the original native source then you'd be a good candidate to be tested.

Debbie Hi! I understand you have done research on the relationship between the Cherokee and Melungeons? Would you please offer your knowledge and opinions? Joyce Gaston Reece

I can trace mine 4 generations back on the women's line.....but my dad threw that off LOL He's the only male in my direct line of showing the Cherokee connection LOL Alli :) > Derek is right, to join a tribe you have to meet the criteria and DNA > isn't one of them.
