New Tribes' Populations

[burto]

Burto,
The Asian results are very complicated... I will ask them how they figured the percentage. I think the 6% and 9% are very simplified and just crude measurements. Then you go to the raw data in the genome browser and it has a ancestry line for each chromosome where you run across the whole chromosome and it showes you the lowest and progresses to the highest percentage of each ethnic group. My higest Asian percentage was on chromosome 14,on that section my score was 58.7% Asian between postion 45,747,245 and position 45,747,250. I don't quite understand it all my self.. This could be ancient readings..Going to write them and ask.

Hi Maria,
Mum's Asian results are similar to yours she got 6% on autosomal and 6% on X. On the genome browser, on chromosome 3 she gets 51% East Asian and chromosome 5 she gets 65%!! Chromosome 9 she has 50%. I don't know if this means anything or not? They are all on the same half of the chromosomes-does this mean they are from the same parent? Or is it not displayed as one half from the mother and one from the father?
Does anyone think those scores are high?

Rainbow,
As far as the pronouncing of our tribal name.. I just pronounce it like the Potomac river. Since I am not in Virginia I really can't tell how someone from Virgirnia says it.. Even they spell it just a touch different from me....The e is silent...So I suppose it really could be dropped. I went back in to colonial English records and it is spelled so many different ways...Potomack, Patawomeck, Potowomek, Patawomecke, ect...
By the way how are you related to the Potowomeck? Thats cool! I have lost touch with a lot of people who are ancestors of Wahangonoche...

Maria

Hi Maria I posted about it during a discussion with forum member purple flowers in another thread last year. She, you, and I are all distant cousins. She descends from a brother of your ancestor. And my mom found out from distant cousins that we descend from Pocahontas thru our Branch & Trent, etc.

Just guessing too...

I think my Case line and my Brown line on my Trimmer side may be part Delaware Indian, Lenape, but I don't know for sure.

My birthday is in a few days.

How is it prounced? I have trouble even spelling it. I copied and pasted it once to get it spelled right. The other day I tried to post about my great grandfather. I had wondered if my grandmother war adopted or the natural child of her parents. I never saw a photo of her parents but I found out thru help from Jodi-Yaffa that he had dark hair and brown eyes. His papers from the WWI era were online. I think it was called a draft card. He was never in the military. He worked at a foudry and for railroad in New Jersey before he became a meat cutter-butcher. Someday I find a description of his wife, my great grandmother. My theory was if both of her parents were blond she was adopted or something, but her father had the same dark hair and brown eyes. Her father was originally from Cloverhill, and her mom was from Flemington. His side has some French and I wonder if it was actually French-Indian. Her side, the little bit I found, with help from Jodi and a librarian, is all German. I think my Case and B

Really mean spirited...

Thanks rainbow,
I really apprecaite the support. She is Helen Lorraine Waugh, my second cousin. Her husband made a mean joke about her Potowomecke heritage. He said the closest she ever came to being Native American was Cheif Wahoo! He is the mascot for the Cleveland baseball team..Made me really mad! How dare anyone make fun of someones heritage!

I texted a long post from my phone and only the beginning part was posted.

I said "Maybe" this was the missing element, not that it was. Matter of fact I just found 2 maiden names and they aren't Native American so...

Maria

Hi Maria. It could be that some of the wives were originally Native American but were baptized and were given European names. Anything is possible. In my case, I don't believe my top global match is Puerto Rico, but it is. I googled New Jersey Native American and found that Tainos from the Caribbean migrated to New Jersey in the 1930s as agricultural workers. But my grandmother was born in 1928. When I met my grandmother and aunt, they gave me cosmetics-it was the week of my birthday- but the foundation was too dark for me. It was beige and I am an ivory, like my mom. When I said it was too dark and I couldn't wear it they laughed and looked at each other. My father would be a beige, as his mom. That reminds me of when my stepmother told me that my father doesn't like a lot of make-up, her way of telling me

I left off Delaware...

Duh. I have alot of ancestors from Delaware, some missing spouses. Matter of fact, such as Valentine Hollingsworth who is suppose to be married to Ann Ree. They were Quaker's from Newark, Delaware, New Castle County..in the 1650's or so. Came from Ireland...
