I do have my Indian card and am listed as 1/8 Indian. I have not gotten my brother to DNA test yet, but with a full blooded German mother it killed alot of my Indian. I am proud of my Griffin Indian heritage and would love to know how the first of my line that I can trace to came to be in the world. I can only go back to John Griffin who we think was born in Tennessee in 1763. He did marry a Cherokee, but we don't know how much of if he had any Indian in him.
