I thought about that...didn’t realize it was actually possible.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Family DNA, inside the #'s

Thanks for the replies...i really appreciate the feedback!
I looked over things again, and it was my 4th GGF, who may have been full NA (Cherokee is what were told as kids, born in 1796). He did marry a woman who didn't appear to be NA...but honestly who knows at this point. And, it wasn't' a direct male line...his daughter, my 3rd GGGM married my 3rd GGGF. He certainly wasn't NA.
I understand how "watered down" the line gets through generations of procreating. But how my daughter has it 1-2% in her results, yet i do not....it's crazy (to me anyway).
I've read (not a great deal) about the difficulties in tracing NA DNA. I've also read about the varying migration paths, and potential origins, and who may have came from what part of the world...the "Asian NA" vs the "Euro NA"...after a while it gets to be too much.
I'm mostly Euro West and Ire/Scot/Wales, which isn't a huge surprise....my daughter and i are super-white (especially in Winter), and have the golden hair
. Smaller percentages = Finland/NW Russia, Scandinavia, Iberian Peninsula, Euro South, Middle East, in this order.

Hello all...first time poster here.
I got my family (wife, daughter, me) Spit-Kits for Christmas...figure'd it be fun. It was! We've picked at each other, and all the usual stuff...and my bride is/was adopted, knowing very little of her background....so it was real cool for her.
My question, and i'm sure this has been covered in some fashion, ad nauseam...
I've got Native American in my family; specifically my dad's side...would've been my 4X GGrandfather. I didn't know if any NA would show in my DNA...and sadly, it did not (I wanted it to). BUT, my daughter had 1-2%. My wife had none show up in her DNA profile.
What am i misunderstanding? (and, yes she's my kid.. that's a standing joke with my buddies)
Thanks for any feedback.
