I would be leery. Even the experts utilized in Court cases
do not even say "totally"--they admit that there is a 1%-
2% possibility of error.
too, if one is known to have a Native American-ancestor
dating back to the Colonial 16th-Century Americas, and
since this ancestor all descendants had children by Northern
Europeans, by the time one got down to now the Native
American would be so intermixed with Northern European it
would be miniscule. Considering the margin of error, would
this miniscule of Native American show-up--if at all???
Yet, you know diffinently for sure through other sources
though scant they may be that one has a Native American
ancestor.
two races that are most hated and share experience similarities/parallels is the Native American & Jew.
Up until the last 5-yrs., or so, most persons have denied
their Native American-ancestry (see the Melungeon/Cherokee
experience). Jews are still detested. Anti-Judaism is
as rampant today as it was prior to WW II--if not worse.
And persons are doing everything they can to deny being
any part Jewish.
finally, regards the ROOSAs, knowing the Jews were being
persecuted/tortured-to-death in their day of the Spanish
Inquisicion, WHY would they pass on oral tradition claiming
to be originally Jewish knowing that they would be
subject to persecution/torture unless they really were
Jewish. Claiming exotic genealogies??? Let's get real.
Their life was on the line. They were just who they said
they originally were SPANISH JEWS fleeing the religious
troubles in Ro(o)sa, Catalonia, Spain, to the Spanish
Netherlands, were they became MARRANO-members of the
newly forming Dutch Reformed Church which is "Old Testament". Then we have the land transaction refering
to Arien Rosa was a PORTUGESE JEW. As well as SHEARITH
ISRAEL were they are co-religious with the Gomezes &
the Gonsauleses and are a RABBINICAL FAMILY--as wel as,
politically being nominal members of the Dutch Reformed
Church in New Amsterdam.
Again, I would be leery of TEST results. There is a margin
of error that does not "totally" prove anything.
respectfully, Gregory Thompson, a ROOSA descendant from
ALBERT HEYMANSE(N) ROOSA THE JEW
