It depends on the definition of "small." Trace amounts are just that - they make for cocktail party talk. To me, anything under 3% is questionable, as the ethnicity estimates have quite a way to go still. If you've got the ancestor documented, than it could be picking it up as "noise." Usually, the Nat.Amer. ancestor needs to be 100% Nat. Am. and needs to be your parent, grand, great, or 2-great. Otherwise, it washes out. People of South American and Central American descent who still marry within their culture will show it in good amounts. That's probably a Brazilian's screen shot that I captured, from someone who has been there many generations, so the Native gets mixed with the Native from the spouse. Cheri
