I upgraded my DNA yesterday and got the results back in the evening. Quite a difference from my first test done in March of this year. As their database grows the results are more realistic, generally.
DNA Tribes still has a very limited database for Native Americans and no samples from Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw or many other tribes. They advised me that in the future they will be testing more Native Americans including those I mentioned. We have a paper trail of Southeast Native American on 3 different lines but still probably less than 15% of my total makeup.
The results for Global Match were:
Scottish 17.8, being the highest and the remainder scores were between 6.7 and 3.9.
Italian, Caucasian, Hispanic(Michigan), Austrian, Norwegian, German, Hispanic, Belgian, Hispanic (Arizona)
I assume that possibly some of my families Native American DNA is showing up as Hispanic. We know that Hispanics from Central America, for example have approx. 90% Native American in their mix.
Anyone have any information about the Hispanic samples versus Native American.
