I've submitted my DNA and my husbands to Family Tree DNA and so far no matches and no Indian connections. It is possible that my husband is 1/8th Indian, but then, maybe not. Mine only shows a heavy French background. I don't know what to make of it so far. Sherry Butler Ward

If I understand it correctly, there wouldn't be any Indian results for your husband's test. The American Indian tests follow chromosomes up the maternal line. On your tests, it would only show a positive result if there was such ancestry on your mother's part, or her mother's part, or her grandmother's, and so on. Funny, I was thinking about this very thing today, before the first inquiry. I, too, was wondering how a positive result would be regarded by the American tribes. From Jerri's answer, I assume there's no point in contacting them...?
