My Y-DNA on my Stewart surname was done by the family tree people. I received a list of ethnic info that made little sense to me. They did trace my Stewarts through exact matches with three other men. The documentation goes back to a Charles Stewart born 1610 in London, an anglicized Scot. He was the immigrant who was in Henrico Shire. VA ca. 1630. I will review that info and see how it matches my test from Dom Panther Yates. I do remember being told that the Family Tree ethnicity report was not to be relied upon too heavily. The three Stewart men that I matched exactly had the documentation on our Stewarts, and I was able to fit mine right in. However, they have no ethnic info themselves and feel we are Scots. I chose not to bring up any of Dr. Kennedy's works or the Melungeon people to them.
Cindy, your Freeman cousin was fortunate to tie into someone who knew about the ethnicity. Rick
