Biography
Kathie is Cherokee.
A third-generation Washingtonian, I grew up in northern Virginia. My great-grandfather, Lewis Cass White a Civil War veteran, moved to Washington after the war to work for what was then called the Pension Bureau (now Veterans' Affairs). He married Susannah Yount, a Pennsylvania German. My grandmother, Sadie White and mother, Florence Evans were both born in Washington, D.C. Her father William Evans grew up on a farm in western New York, the grandson of recent Welsh immigrants and descendant of English immigrants who arrived about 1640. My father, Joe Parks [1] was from Oklahoma, the son of James A T Parks a Cherokee Methodist minister and Florence Youngblood a woman from Mississippi who went to Oklahoma to teach Indians in 1913. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire married Kerry Forbes [2] and ended up living in New Hampshire and working at the University of New Hampshire for almost 50 years. I have three children and six grandchildren. After retirement I returned to northern Virginia. I am a citizen of Cherokee Nation and have been studying Cherokee history and working with Cherokee genealogy for over 35 years.
Most of my European ancestors immigrated to America in the 1600's and early 1700's from the British Isles, mostly Scotland/Northern Ireland and Wales. My genealogical goal is to trace each line back to the immigrant ancestor.

Comparing Kit A340796 (*Joesdaughter) [Migration - F2 - A] and Kit TA7057982 (Polly Ramos) [Select a Company or Source]
Hard Breaks Checked for cM (2.0) if GAP is greater than 500000 Basis Pairs. Segment threshold size will be adjusted dynamically with an average of 208 SNPs. About 2/3 will occur between 191 and 225. Mismatch-bunching Limit will be adjusted to 60 percent of the segment threshold size for any given segment.

Largest segment = 7.6 cM
Total Half-Match segments (HIR) 41.6cM
10 shared segments found for this comparison.
411942 SNPs used for this comparison.
Also of note is that the pre-Genesis GEDmatch used a reasonable minimum SNP threshold of 700. All reported segments fall well below that.
There may be a genetic association between the two kits, but a match will be inconclusive without examining and comparing the raw DNA data.
Your work caught my eye, thank you for sharing all the information.
Our Gedmatch (mine A298211) show about 15cM over 5cM or if you lower to 3cM shows up to 39.6cM largest section 6.1cM. I used Wiki’s relationship kinder and. We share Richard York as 15th (mine) and your 16th great grandfather.
Could our DNA match simply be Richard or from a closer match? Ancestry’s relationship chart shows: step 4th great-granddaughter of 2nd cousin 7x removed.
Would be interesting in your perspective, thank you in advance.

I just discovered that I have a GEDmatch with your father. 7cm on the 1st Chromosome. You are not a match however. Maybe you have a clue as to what gggg-grandparent we may share. Any clues?

Test Connections, You Will Find Sam Campbell ( 0.39 % [ Me ] ) & Annalee Campbell / Conn ( 0.39 [ My Sister ] ) Listed, So We Should Be Listed On Edward Sizemore (abt. 1725 - abt. 1780) , Father Of John Henderson Sizemore { Edward Sizemore } D.N.A. Test Match Also !

If this woman existed, there is no good reason to think her first name was Lysette or Lysbet. There is a record suggesting that Lysbet was the first name of the wife of the New Netherland settler that some of his descendants believe was married to a Mohawk woman.
There is also a pending merge for the father of this woman, approved by one party with default approval from the other: Mohawk-11 and Mohawk-6 . Does that merge look good to you?
Regarding images, recently I have encountered several images in WikiTree that are not the person who they were claimed to be. (Most of these seem to have been imported from Ancestry family trees or findagrave.) I have found tineye.com to be very helpful for identifying images that are copyright-protected or are not the person named.
FYI: The early historical documents related to New Netherland name a goodly number of individual Native Americans who interacted with Europeans. This is one of the reasons why some profiles like these were included in the New Netherland Settlers project. I am not very conversant with the historical sources (a rich source of genealogical material that deserves to be mined), but periodically I run across an historical account that names individuals who had engaged in negotiations with Europeans. Also, the Dutch church records include baptisms and marriages of indigenous people, some of whom are named in the records (others are simply called pros). And I am rather sure that some children born to European men and Native wives were absorbed into the white community -- the case I am most familiar with is Van_Slyck-29.
In the case of fair use, the copyrighted picture can only be used for educational, personal or research purposes, or if it’s beneficial to the public. However, determining what can fall under this category is not necessarily easy for an everyday image user as there are a number of factors that go into consideration under the framework of the U.S. Copyright Act.
When an image belongs to the public domain, it means that it is not subject to copyright. Common cases are when the owner of the work passed away or abandoned all rights to the work. However, crediting the picture might still be needed based on what the requirements are, for example in the case of the Getty Search Gateway project.
Congrats on the Super Star Badge!
