Whether or not you may become the member of a particular Indian nation is decided by the nation itself, not by the federal government. Each nation has different rules. If you qualify and become a member, you get an ID issued by that nation, and that makes you "card-carrying." The feds issue...

Sorry, I started this thread but I've been out of touch for a while. Please forgive my inattention. I was trying to see if there was some NA DNA in the Serfoss line. I seem to have a little, and I was wondering if any others did.

Thanks for your correction. The Dine rejected casinos because of the corruption they tend to bring and their conflict with the traditional ways many Dine still follow. I'm not sure about Pine Ridge, but it's not a high population area and has very rough weather much of the year, like much of the upper...

Sorry for bringing this back up, but you can't be serious. Doing fine? Good paying jobs? Have you been down to the Navajo reservation, or Pine Ridge? Have you read the statistics about poverty levels on the reservations? Have you seen how a lot of these people live, or are you just assuming they...

Three sets of teeth, huh? I never heard of that, although I was in the hospital with a woman who was having her third breast removed. But to the point, partially shovelled teeth are just teeth that are not quite as deeply shoveled as others, I think. My dentist brought mine up to (Korean dentist...

I think you're talking about "cherry angiomas." Anybody can get them....

Sorry, my question wasn't real clear. I know Columbus kidnapped and took Native Americans to Europe, as did others. What I was really looking for was a cite that discussed shovel teeth in Europeans having come from Native American intermarriage....

[QUOTE=msc_44]shovel teeth are only with some europeans because some native americans where brought back to europe and had familys

Where did you hear this? Do you have cite?

I don't quite get this. If all your grandparents were Indian (I assume you mean Native American), then you should be 100% NA and your test ought to show it. What test did you take and what did it show?...

Shovel teeth are also found in Europeans, but not nearly as often as in NAs and Asians, where they are very common....

I don't know. I think I'd take some of this with a grain of salt. I have a second toe MUCH longer than the first, but I got it from my father whose grandparents came directly from Ireland and Germany. My part Native mother had normal toes. She did, however, have shovel teeth, and I got them....

No, the Indians were forced out because the whites wanted their land, and with your white family going back that far in the Eastern US, you also need to take into account intermarriage among the whites. Like many of us, you are probably descended from the same couple via more than one of their children,...

If you are female, the only line you are going to be able to follow is through the mitochondrial DNA, which means the line that goes back through your mother, her mother, her mother, her mother, all the way back. You won't find anything out about your father's line. Thru the Genographic Project you...

TAGull - Thanks for responding. I actually descend from Johan Philip Servas, who came about the same time as your ancestor. They could have been brothers, I suppose. Of course, the same first name - Johan - is kind of irrelevant with this generation of Germans, since they got saint's names first...

Servas is a German name, but the Dutch name you gave may be another variant of the same family.
