Yes thats quite alright. I have been through all this with this site before. Yes we were
tested. Yes its maternal line. No we are not related to your branch. Yes we have fully
researched our line. Yes I have offered it to this site. No thank you I do not need my
line resarched. And thank you for your time.
If you go back to see my posts you will see the names of the CATES line that is Indian.
Sorry folks but SOME of the CATES line is INDIAN. I only offered my suggestions to those
who are unable to connect to the Scottish/English CATES as an alternative for your
research.
Thank you so much for your reply best wishes and have a great Holiday
Kim

I guess this is where we have to look past our surnames and test genetically. The CATES
line my husband comes from is of course European. Genetics ruled out Native American.
There is no other tests to take. He's European both paternally/maternally.
Have you tested YOUR Cates family and found the Native American genetics? Also, WHERE did
you get the Cates name? MANY surnames can come about through adoption, census mistakes,
and even through the mother. You would be surprised how many people test their genes and
realize that they do NOT share the same genetics as their ancestors (scandals/unwed
mother's) etc.
This is why I firmly believe in testing genetically/along with oral history to build
one's family tree.
Since I've ruled out Native American ancestry, I'm now looking to see if our Cates
family is Scottish/Irish, and to find missing relatives to build on the "very
empty" family tree.
PS) How exciting for you to have Native American ancestry with the Cates name. I'm
assuming this is paternally?
