Paula
I have been working on my genealogy for quite a while and have quite a bit now, BUT my dads mothers grandparents. I believe my great great grandmother was full Choctaw Indian. I am not sure that any of the DNA tests will help me since I am female and its on my (deceased) dads maternal line and there isn't any males alive that I know of. Any thoughts?
-
Hi Paula, you don't need a male to test, as females receive admixture estimates from autosomal DNA tests too. And an autosomal DNA test will match you with other people who share DNA with you, so you may match some relatives from your Dad's maternal lines, which could be very helpful. Good luck!
