| Posted: 16 Aug 2016 07:22 PM PDT There was a time when some white people in the United States tried to call themselves "European-American" in response to others wanting to be called "Asian-American" or "African-American." But liberals and other Politically Correct types accused them of racism for doing that, and it really wasn't that big a deal anyway, so they gave up on it. I'm not being sarcastic either; that's really what happened. For whatever reason, Caucasian people in North America just don't seem to get hung up on calling themselves anything in particular, and consequently haven't gone out of their way to really establish some sort of unifying ethnic label. By the way, the white people I know who are from Europe tend to refer to themselves not as "Europeans" either, but instead by their nationalities.  |

| Posted: 16 Aug 2016 03:18 PM PDT A crest is merely a component of a coat of arms. Generally a coat of arms was granted to individuals not families. Now in some continental European countries men were allowed to assume a coat of arms. This is what the Dictionary of American Family Names has for Mendoza Mendoza Name Meaning Basque: habitational name from several places in the provinces of Arava and Biscay called Mendoza, named with Basque mendi 'mountain' + otz 'cold' + the definite article -a. Source: Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press Don't expect everyone named Mendoza to share the same ancestors. Surnames were not originally taken to identify a person as a member of a family but just to better identify him on records. The surname product business is a big scam. Don't be fooled by it. A good way to tell that a coat of arms was purchased from a surname product peddler is it will have a surname on a scroll underneath and sometimes over it. Coats of arms that were validly granted or assumed will not have a surname anywhere attached. |

| Question: Does this sound like a typical American ancestry tree? Posted: 15 Aug 2016 02:00 AM PDT I can't say what a typical American ancestry tree is. Understand for the overall ancestral testing they use Autosomal along with the X. Most of your DNA is Autosomal and you got it 50-50 from both parents but not necessarily 25% from each of your 4 grandparents. The reason why there usually will be a bias in what you inherited from grandmother and grandfather on both sides of the family and how you inherited that bias will not be how your siblings inherited it unless you have an identical twin. You and your siblings could have inherited anywhere from 0 to50% from any one grandparent. The gap usually isn't that big but can be. This means if you and a full sibling were tested by the same company at the same time, the results will not be exact due to the differences in how you inherited bias in your DNA from your grandparents. http://www.dnainheritance.kahikatea.net/... Another thing go to another company and the results will vary. That is because the only thing companies can do is match you with population samples in their database and each company has its own database. Therefore if one doesn't have or is deficient in certain population groups another has and vice versa, naturally the results won't be exact. Also it has been reported if you go back to the same company sometime later and have them test again the results might show changes as by that time they have received more population samples that can change the picture. The best way to use genealogy testing is with traditional genealogy work using documents/records. If the company you choose has cousins of yours in their database going back several generations and they notify you of those cousins and you make contact with them and they are also into traditional genealogy work, you can collaborate information with them. They might have discovered ancestors in records you haven't and you might have discovered ancestors in records they haven't. |
