Wow.Just wow.Several of us have, indeed, made alternative suggestions.Just food for thought, you know.And, yeah, maybe you were offered some information you already have.BUT....
Annie Carlile had this to say:
"Millions of people hid their ethnic backgrounds, not necessarily out of shame, but out of necessity, particularly if there was NA or African-American ancestry.
You should definitely do the DNA testing to rule out those possibilities. My husband just got tested to rule in or out any NA ancestry, because of stories passed down through the family.
Good luck in your search. Annie"
And my own very last words to you were this:
"I would agree that, based on appearances, Roma ancestry does seem like a possibility."
Soooo.... I'm not sure it's entirely accurate to say that ALL you are getting are "condescending responses from people who insist everyone in my family is full of BS."
But, whatever....
