Well, I had replied to Kimberly privately while ago, but my husband's family WANTED to
be indian. This is why they were disputing my husband's DNA results. My husband is
proud to be Irish, but he would have been proud to be indian too!
To be honest, before my husband's DNA results came in, we joked about WHAT IF on the
results... I personally don't think anyone should test themselves unless they can come
to grips and be PROUD of their heritage no matter WHAT it is.
My two cents.
