Another mutt here. My maternal great-grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee and my paternal great-grandmother was a full blooded German. I’m not sure if my paternal great-grandfather was as well. I also have Swanee from my mother and Irish. There could be more, but those are what I know. From my father I have French, German and I’m almost certain he mentioned some English in there somewhere.
