Ancestry.com DNA test

[TheOfficialBren]

I also have heard through our family oral history that an ancestor married a Native American, but no firm proof. However, on my last dentist visit, the Dentist asked if I had any Native American lineage. I was quite surprised and answered that it was possible. We reside in southwest Michigan and he treats patients that belong to the Pokagon Tribe of the Potawatomi Indians. Apparently there is a unique tooth formation which I happen to have.
I've been thinking about the Ancestry DNA testing. I'll be following this thread.

Scoops in the back of your top incisors, most likely. Asiatic and Native American teeth often have this characteristic. My own family carries this trait and it is not an uncommon trait found amongst Americans with Native American ancestry, even if only a little.

Dr Bill Bass of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has made an extensive study on this subject. He summarizes it well in his book "Beyond The Body Farm."
