I recieved an e-mail from Gary Felix about my Y-DNA findings of Haplogroup N for my Gutierrez line. I was not correct on the information on the Haplogroup N report for my Gutierrez line. 80% of Chinese are Haplogroup O, a offshoot of Haplogroup N so the odds of our line being Chinese are very slim.. Gary said that the odds are my Gutierrez line are Native American originally from Siberia and Russia by way of China.. They would have immigrated abt 15,000 years ago so any trace's of the Asian features would not really apply to us.. So, I guess we got our slanted eyes from our Indio ancestor's after all... (I kinda liked being Chinese)... oh well, back to the drawing board..
Sorry for the confusion and it has been fun!

correction on Chinese in Mexico
Linda,
This is one of those instances where you can not draw a definitive
conclusion either way. More time is needed for the haplotype/haplogroup
databases to grow and make comparisons, find matches, etc.
Nothing to be sorry. And the fun isn't over yet! More surprises could be
in store.

That's right Victor. The discovery is the adventure.
And we love Linda no matter what her haplogroup is!
