I did in fact get a response on one of my earlier inquiries and I'd like to correct myself on a note. And that being that I'm descended from jospeh renville and little crows neice Mary . I am unsure as to who my ancestor was. I am not here to find out if I have native ancestry. I'm here to find out " how ". It was said in a mssg from a group member " consider a non native common ancestor " well that doesn't help me when my raw data shows me at a considerable amount of chromosomes bearing the signature. My raw data has been run through the eurogenes calculator and for someone with my admixture , it shows a whopping 17 percent amerindian . I'm well aware of common ancestors who were non native. Its the common indigenous ones I'm seeking out on perhaps more than one line. Here is a list I've compiled of DNA matches over several dif regions who also descend from very known names. This is a copy and paste of those matches who carry the surnames known in quite a few places.
some of the ancestral surnames that I'm related to :
For Virginia :
Bass, Branham , Beverly u can add secondine and Mann to this list here
For North Carolina
Vann ,hoskie , Locklear , oxendine chavis . Driggers . Enoch, Manuel, Foy ,blue .
For south carolina. Singleton. Davis . Spears . Dears .james
For Ohio ( Catawba )
Atkins , west , Ransome , Rice , hathcock. Hill ( both south Carolina and Ohio )
For south Dakota :
Bagola,flood ,zephier ,rencountre , courneyor , akipa , eagle elk , elk head . Douville . Renville ,Crawford. Campbell Augie.
For new Mexico, Az Colorado.
Tafoya .Knowles . Singleton ( who later transplanted to south Carolina )
Pueblo , yaqui. Apache and Comanche people's
Some are matches surnames. While others are surnames from matches who have them attached to gedcoms . I am in fact. Sicangu , Yankton and santee African amer , french. And the list goes on and on . The focus of my search for the last 27 yrs are the identities of both of my second great grand parents and their parents identities .so . Altho unproven. A union soldier from fort snelling minneosta with this same mixture . An indian scouts with the 13th division under a John E Smith who then served under Sherman during william tecumsehs march to the sea is highly more likely than not at all such is the case with a tribal members great uncle from sisseton. He , a Dakota by the last name of williams died in georgia and even had a family there . And never returned to Minnesota after the war. Her account was accurate. I just don't get why so many believe that it's highly improbabale in my own personal case. I've gotten many " no that's impossibles from quite a few over the months. But Ill maintain the strong narrative that a soldier , a Dakota , lived , fought traveled to south Carolina. Had a family and passed away there.
Thank you
