During the course of my genealogy research I not only confirmed my German heritage, which was told to me as a child, but discovered I also have Native American ancestry. Both my paternal grandparents were Lenape descendants, making me one also.
I've yet to pinpoint the full blooded Native American ancestor on either of their branches.
