While I'm very interested in all of my ancestry, I have a special interest in my Native American ancestry because they're the ones who have been lost to so many generations, the ones whose names are often not remembered, whose stories haven't been passed down. I'm humbled to be able to help restore them to our family history.

Paternal Y-DNA: (Gambrell) Haplogroup R-M269 (aka R1b1a1a2) R-M269 is the most common European haplogroup, greatly increasing in frequency on an east to west gradient. No clear consensus has been achieved as to whether it arose within Europe or in Western Asia. Haplogroup R-M269, also known as R1b1a1a2, is a sub-clade of human Y-chromosome haplogroup R1b. Haplogroup R1b (R-M343), also known as Hg1 and Eu18.

Maternal mtDN: (McLain / Pearson / Grayson) Haplogroup H2a1 - found mostly in Eastern Europe (Eastern Europe, as defined by the United Nations Statistics Division, includes the countries of Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, and Slovakia, as well as the republics of Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine), the North Caucasus (Russia) and Central Asia (The nations which make up Central Asia are five of the former Soviet republics: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan). IE diffusion (R1a)

Mother's Paternal Y-DNA: (Morgan) Haplogroup R-M269 (aka R1b1a1a2) (same as paternal Gambrell Y-DNA haplogroup)
