If you have American Indian ancestry it shouldn't disappear from the record Tom Send a noteboard - 01/10/2018 10:53:04 PM

I have a single ancestor 14 generations back who is American Indian and it shows up at 0.1% on my 23 and me profile. I know all my ancestors on my mother's side back to about 1750 and on my father's side no one was in the US prior to 1900, so there isn't really any likelihood of any other ancestry amplifying it.



Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
