That's what we found out we were as well, Ashkenazi. From what I've discovered it was fairly common for immigrant families after a few generations to claim Native American heritage to try to escape the severe persecution they experienced in their homeland. I'm no less proud of our true heritage. It's great to know our true roots.

I agree! I'd much rather know the truth of my family heritage, than believe in a legend that isn't real. Honoring my ancestors is important to me, and I want to know who to honor.
Definitely, @stephmckenzie. I'm so glad I know the truth now.
