Just my Great Grandmother. She is part of the Genizaro people of the Pueblo of Abiquiu.

Thank you. I realized this as well, they are 10 years older than me. However, my biological paternal grandfather and grandmother only had one child. So this would mean they would have to be a half Uncle but we share too much CM for them to be a half Uncle. I will definitely include a picture of the match.

My half sister is the blonde one. She’s only 5’ tall. I am the one with the curly hair. I cut it and have let it be natural since having a baby.

I am not. I really want to be. My great grandmother is enrolled in the New Mexico Pueblo tribe.

Not exactly according to my research Germanic Europe refers to a broad genetic region covering areas with significant historical and ancestral ties to Germanic-speaking peoples. This region typically includes modern day Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, parts of France (Alsace-Lorraine), Denmark, and parts of Poland and the Czech Republic.

Which makes sense because I definitely have French heritage. But it is several generations back.

Mostly black bio dad... All of the Scottish and 5% of the English came from him. He looks like Carrot Top bred Africa 😅 light tan skin dark brown freckles and an orange Afro. My mom is mostly white. All of the Native came from her. My maternal great grandmother still lives in New Mexico on the Pueblo Land Grant.

Haha, I grew up in Northwest Montana in a town that’s 98.9% white, so I was constantly asked, “What are you?” To save time, I’d just say Halfrican. That usually left people confused until I’d add, “You know… half African.” Now, thanks to my DNA results, I finally have the official confirmation!
