  1. I was looking thru old stacks of things and came across the DNA (GeneTree) testing packets.
    My husband and I had thought about doing them but I guess that is not a option.
    If GeneTree has closed who would I look for to get DNA testing packets, so we could?

    Also we are looking to see about Native American ancestry…both our families have NA ancestry but neither of our foremothers/fathers signed up for Rolls. Mine because my great great grandmother, who was Cherokee was married or ran off with an Apache (which at time was not acceptable or heard of). My great Grandmother married a Irish man and when he left she put my grandfather and his sister in orphanage (which has since closed). My husbands great great grandmother was NA (I think also Cherokee) married a Mountain man in LA….also not acceptable and a No No at that time). So would a DNA test even be a way to go?

  2. Currently I’m recommending Family Tree DNA or Ancestry DNA for testing for genealogy purposes. Just Google the names. Sure – You’d find out your chances of Native American roots.
