I, for one, never cared about people's ancestry. However, I think it is wrong to use it to gain privileged or cry victim. Now, when we see that she has not only used her alleged ancestry to gain privileges, but that ancestry is greatly exaggerated if even at all, it really is a fraudulent scheme. I actually feel sorry for her. Perhaps she has told her lie for so long that she actually believes it, and to cling to such a minute percent possibility and broadcast it is, in my opinion, the act of a desperate person. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

When I first did a DNA Test, it turned out that I was 93 percent British, 3 percent Western Europe, 2 percent Irish and maybe 2 percent Indian. They updated the test, I gained more Scot/Irish (which goes along with my research) lost the NA and gained Norway. I also found a solid paper trail leading to a black ancestor for my younger son but it didn't show up in his DNA. His cousins asked me about the Bantu in their tests and I had to tell them about their Granddaddy Abraham. Bantu showed up in my son's updated test.

So those kind of DNA tests aren't really accurate and reliable? More for fun and games?

The testing has hooked me up with quite a few cousins and I learned quite a bit from about family history. I think people are so mobile that ethnicity is difficult to prove. The updated ancestry test makes more sense with the research of my family history. I actually had a third cousin from England contact me trying to figure out where we were related. I have a great grandmother who migrated from England and another one who migrated from Ireland. It turns out we were related from the Irish Great Grandmother.

So those kind of DNA tests aren't really accurate and reliable? More for fun and games? From the what I've gathered, there aren't enough DNA samples of Native-Americans to tell for sure if a person has Native blood. There are a few tribes that they can be pretty sure about, but mostly they are relying on samples from people from Mexico and South America, who mixed with Native people many generations ago. If your DNA doesn't show the DNA pattern of these Southern tribes, even if everyone in your family for generations have all the other signs of being full-blood Natives.....physical features, generations of forebears that grew up on the reservation family history, etc........That's why the Tribal Councils don't accept DNA as evidence when deciding who belongs to the tribe. Warren could have way more Native blood than the current information can say for sure, I have many full Native friends who have a blonde, blue-eyed kid and a kid that look totally Native with the same White father.

"Analysis: Just about everything you read on the Warren DNA test is wrong." by Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post Explains the DNA testing and the results, if one would like to take the time to read it.
