3 UNTIL MY RETIREMENT JUNE 2014. I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MY FAMILY GENEALOGY SINCE 1995. MY FATHER'S SIDE IS IRISH WITH SOME ASHKENAZI JEWISH ANCESTRY AND HASN'T BEEN TOO HARD TO DOCUMENT. BOTH OF MY MOTHER'S PARENTS WERE MIXED. HER FATHER WAS CHEROKEE INDIAN AND WHITE OUT OF NORTH CAROLINA, HER MOTHER WAS MOHEGAN-PEQUOT INDIAN AND WHITE OUT OF CONNECTICUT, I ALSO HAVE SOME SEPHARDIC JEWISH ANCESTRY ON MY MOTHER'S SIDE. TRACING THE NATIVE AMERICAN ANCESTRY HAS BEEN CHALLENGING AS RECORDS KEPT ON INDIANS PRE 1900 ARE OFTEN LACKING. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN DOING ALOT OF GENEALOGY RELATED DNA TESTING.
