My parents had always told me their grandparents were part Seminole. I liked that because it made me feel more connected to my home.

To find out (through a 23andMe report showing 99.9% Euro genes) it wasn't true was unsettling, like I'm not really who I thought I was and also have much less of a connection to the area. Also disappointed because it means someone in my family lied to all of us about where they came from.

I'm not sure of the exact math but it seems like both things could still be true. We don't get equal portions of genes from each ancestor.
