DNA tests for Native American ancestry from Gemini AI regarding identity questions too ?

Interesting AI reply - 

What genetic tests are blood tests can I do to tell if I have Native American ancestry or background

Blood Tests for Native American Ancestry

While blood tests can provide insights into your genetic makeup, they cannot definitively prove Native American ancestry. DNA tests, specifically autosomal DNA testing, are the most reliable method for determining if you have Native American heritage.

Here's a breakdown of the types of DNA tests commonly used:

  1. Autosomal DNA Testing: This tests the majority of your DNA, which is inherited from both parents. It can identify regions of your genome that are associated with various ethnicities, including Native American. Popular companies offering this service include AncestryDNA, 23andMe, and MyHeritage.
  2. Y-DNA Testing: This tests the Y chromosome, which is passed down from father to son. It can trace your paternal lineage and identify specific haplogroups that are associated with Native American populations.
  3. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Testing: This tests the mitochondrial DNA, which is passed down from mother to child. It can trace your maternal lineage and identify haplogroups associated with Native American populations.

Important Considerations:

  • Tribal Citizenship: While DNA tests can provide evidence of Native American ancestry, they do not automatically grant tribal citizenship. Tribal citizenship is determined by specific tribal laws and criteria.
  • Sensitivity: DNA tests may not detect very small amounts of Native American ancestry.
  • Accuracy: While DNA testing is highly accurate, there can be variations in the databases used by different companies, which may affect the results.

If you're interested in exploring your Native American ancestry, it's recommended to:

  1. Research your family history: Look for any documented Native American connections.
  2. Consult with a genealogist: A professional genealogist can help you trace your family tree and identify potential Native American ancestors.
  3. Contact tribal nations: If you have a strong family history of Native American ancestry, reach out to relevant tribal nations to learn about their enrollment requirements.

By combining DNA testing with traditional genealogical research, you can gain a more comprehensive understanding of your Native American ancestry.

Do most Presbyterian churches in the USA have a Scottish background? - AI Overview ~ 


Yes, most Presbyterian churches in the United States have a Scottish background, but there are also other traditions that have contributed to the development of Presbyterianism in America: 
  • Scottish tradition
    The Scottish tradition of Presbyterianism in America began in the 18th century and is connected to Seceder and Covenanter Scottish churches. The Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America (RPCNA) and the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (ARP) are two Presbyterian denominations that continue this tradition. 
  • American tradition
    The American tradition of Presbyterianism began in 1706 with the independent Presbytery of Philadelphia. The Presbyterian Church (USA), Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC), and OPC continue this tradition. 
  • Scotch-Irish immigrants
    The Scotch-Irish contributed significantly to the development of Presbyterianism in America, especially in the Middle Colonies. 
  • Presbyterian migration from Puritan New England
    Presbyterian migration from Puritan New England also contributed to the development of Presbyterianism in America. 
Presbyterianism originated in the 16th century during the Protestant Reformation and the teachings of John Calvin and John Knox.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is considered to be one of the world's oldest surviving works of literature and has multiple versions that date back to different periods of time:
Sumerian poems
Some of the earliest versions of the story are Sumerian poems that may date back to around 2100 BC.
Old Babylonian version
The first surviving combined version of the epic is the "Old Babylonian" version, which dates back to the 18th century BC.
Standard Babylonian version
The longer, twelve-tablet "Standard Babylonian" version was compiled between the 13th and 10th centuries BC.
Flood Tablet
An 11th cuneiform tablet from the 7th century BC that is part of the series relating the Gilgamesh epic.
Fragment from a 1200 BC tablet
A fragment of the epic was found during excavations at Ugarit and includes parts of the story of Utnapishtim and the flood.

Nontheist Quakers (also known as nontheist Friends) are those who engage in Quaker practices and processes, but who do not necessarily believe in a theistic God or Supreme Being, the divine, the soul or the supernatural. Like traditional Quakers, also known as Friends, nontheist Friends are interested in realizing peace, simplicity, integrity, community, equality, love, joy, and social justice in the Society of Friends and beyond.
