Nothing for me. According to tests, my bloodline is mostly bacon

This gave a good chuckle

As luck would have it, I got an update from Ancestry this morning. The largest ethnic group I was previously linked to is completely gone, broken down into 6 smaller sub-ethnic groups. So I am no longer primarily Czech, which of all the 14 regions I am linked to is the only one anyone in my family ever had any ties to. And those were very very limited. While I am truly Heinz 57, first generation, American with ZERO ties to indigenous population. My father immigrated here with his parents in 1912. My mother's father immigrated here about the same year, although her mother was born in North Dakota, in a huge Czech community, and immigrated to Canada.

Not that I know of. My grandparents all came here in the early 1900’s. Some spouses did have longer family histories here in the US, but I don’t of anyone in the family who married someone with indigenous ancestry. I also don’t know of anyone that has had any type of testing done, so who knows?
