African, 70% Irish, NA, Jewish. It was passed down through my Family that we Had Turkish Ancestry and the last time I heard this was 30 years ago and at the time it was never mentioned much at all. I also did a strenuous Family history search over the years and it all matches up with the DNA test. If anyone needs any information my email is rolltide.09@hotmail.com , I will be glad to helpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155234744851018796.post-38507945201866033922011-09-21T14:37:12.188-05:002011-09-21T14:37:12.188-05:00I am a Hood and my grandmother was a Benenhaley.
