DNA Tribes Lumbee Match Result

[TW81a]

Hello all, I'm searching for people that would be willing to share their Lumbee (tri-racial isolate) (North Carolina, U.S.A.) MLI score from their DNA tribes results. I'm interested in your post even if you scored zero. For most, the Lumbee score will be found in the "Extended Match Results" product. I'm simply trying to gain a better understanding on how most people score in this. Thanks very much!

My current score, from my 2010 extended report is (0.21) 27.17.

Hi TW81a,
What is your DNA Tribes score for Lumbee?
Is it higher or lower than your Central Asian scores?

I have a question for you

I see the Lumbee's have a web page or site for their members who have tested their DNA. Do you know where these people have tested and do you know? My guess is FTDNA but I wondered if they had tested else where too. Thanks

Hi TW81a,
What is your DNA Tribes score for Lumbee?
Is it higher or lower than your Central Asian scores?

My mother's Lumbee MLI was a 5 which, although not high, is still quite a bit above average from what I can tell. My Grandmothers family line (mother's mother) goes back at least 300 years in southeast North Carolina (Harnett and Johnston Counties) so I'm almost certain there is some sort of Native American blood (quite possibly Lumbee) in our family through her. My mother's #1 match from DNA tribes was only a 450 MLI. Any thoughts?

You might want to look her for some information.

Hi TW81a (and anyone interested),
If you or your mother have some Native American ancestry it may show up in Latin American matches. Do you or your mother have any in part C the global matches? Do you have an extended report? If you do, search the pdf for the word "Mestizo", because that will have Amerindian admixture. In my case I have 3 Latin American matches in my part C. And my most recent extended, from a few weeks ago, I have twelve listed as Mestizo. Argentina (0.24) 72.00, Honduras (0.36) 50.07, another Honduras (0.40) 16.38, Jalisco, Mexico (0.13) 16.32, Cesar and Guajira, Colombia (0.26) 12.29, Ecuador (0.08) 8.90, Guanajuato, Mexico (0.04) 4.14, Ecuador (0.09) 2.91, Guatemala (0.05) 2.63, La Paz and Santa Cruz, Bolivia (0.03) 1.96, Veracruz, Mexico (0.05) 1.88, and Ecuador (0.02) 1.49.

edit: In my case I think my AncestryByDNA's 17% Native American is correct, and 23andme's zero Asian is wrong.
