Hello Beverly,
Thanks for the post.Are we from the same Reaves / Reevesline?
A cousin, Bob Degnin, has also inherited the American Indian heritage in his mother's results.Her father was a Wayne Co TN Reaves also.He convinced me to take the 23andme test on sale last month and I am waiting for results.This will either confirm or disagree with the SMGF results.
In the meantime, I would like to cut and paste your post to me on theDNA Forum for input from some folks who are really, really good with how this DNA "stuff" works.It is complicated for me and I have a hard time "getting it".Especially the mtDNA which I have never really studied.Or, if I could suggest such, you might post to the DNA Forum yourself.
It would be great if we found kinship here.Although, I would be proud to carry American Indian heritage and had always thought that was the case,what interests me to the point of obsession is the truth and the truth is hard to come by and especially withsome surnames more than others and my Reaves has left me with no known male to test yDNA which makes it much more difficult to prove lineage.
Let me know.Thanks again, Linda McKee
