March 5 was the target date. My Haplo grouping is Q3a and my grandfather is said to have Cherokee Blood lines. I am having trouble locating my Great Grandfather for none of my family know anything about my grandfathers parents. I was born in the 1930's and never knew my grandparents as they died before 1929 and of coarse my parents didn't talk about their parents very often and like you we had no proof of this heirtage. My grandfather was born 1854 I hope to have better luck with the 37 marker testing for I found others that matched with the 12 marker test but too far away generationally. I got into this YDNA testing to prove my Indian connection thru family tree but so far no luck. I'm glad that you explained that the Q3 was a connection to Indian heirtage. I have not had this confirmed by the testors how do I go about that. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
