How realistic is it to have John 'Young Tassel' Watts as an ancestor as a White American?

I have never heard the "Cherokee princess" story from my family so it was a surprise when this showed up in my tree. Many of my very distant relatives have this man in their trees. The only problem I have with this is that I can't find exact evidence that I am related to him. None of the trees I look into have census, birth, or any records as such.

For anyone that knows the history of Young Tassel, does this family line seem correct or just pretendian nonsense?:

Chief John Kunokeski 'Young Tassel' Watts 1750-1808

Aley "Alcy" Watts 1777-1860

James M Evans 1797-1893

Araminta "Minty" Evans 1826-1910

James W "Jim" Crouse 1854-1891

Araminta Evens is the last ancestor that I can almost completely confirm is related to me in this line. I'm not sure if James Evans is her father, Aley Watts is her grandmother, or that John Watts is her great grandfather.

Why is Cornish DNA considered English rather than Celtic?

I don't know much about Celtic and English history, but I've seen many people here call Cornwall DNA Celtic. So why is it classified as English?

Unknown parents and wife. Born in Puerto Rico, Anastacio Rosa later moved to Hawaii. His daughter Cecelia Rosa was born in Honolulu, 1907.

This is only a possibility but his wife might be Juanita Lopez with his parents being Domingo Rosa and Eisabel Basks.

How would I do method(s) of data collection and data analysis for research between burials in different cultures?

I'm taking AP Research next year and am currently gathering 10 sources on the differences of burials depending on culture. I could of course always do a survey and ask if the person has heard of the culture, what they know about it, and what they find interesting in the burials, but I don't that would be beneficial. How else would I gather data that would help out my research? Anyone else taking research where their future teachers are making them do the assignment over the summer?

My results + me

I find that these results aren't totally accurate to my family line. My gg-grandparents are: 1 Scottish, 1 Dutch, 1 from Northern Ireland, 1 Filipino, 1 Puerto Rican, and 1 Canadian with Irish and Scottish background, with rest being American born. A couple of other earlier generations came from England, Scotland, and Ireland as well; but also from Germany. The rest of my family has been in the United States since before it was even a country.

What language would be best to learn if wanting to work in Luxembourg?

I was born and raised in the United States but have always wanted to live in another country as I love learning about cultures. I am eligible for Canadian citizenship by descent and plan to get my bachelor's degree from a college there. Now, when looking to to see what country I would want to live in, Luxembourg seems like an interesting choice to me. I hear it has high wages and then a high quality of life like most other European countries. Since I would be planning to live there, what languages would I need to learn? Maybe I could live in Germany but work in Luxembourg? Or live in Belgium and then work in Luxembourg? Canadian, Belgium, and Luxembourg rely heavily on French, so maybe that would be the choice?

I don't know if this is relevant but I have a little proficiency in Spanish and plan to learn it when I have money for a tutor. I also think German would be a cool language to learn.

I tried to write how I do in my everyday life.

This is about how I would write in my day to day life. I'm honestly a little embarrassed as I do not spend time to make my handwriting look pretty even though I could do a bit better. My friends and family tell me that my hand writing is hard to read, but also some of my friends tell me that they like how it curls. I wrote line 20-34 of Robert Frost's poem "Out, Out-"

What would dna results look like with one Puerto Rican great great grandparent?

I have taken a myHeritage ancestry test that has come back with a result of 1 percent African dna a while ago. I would have to assume that this comes from my great great grandmother that was of fully Puerto Rican descent (as far as I'm certain). I have an Ancestrydna test that is soon to be processed and wonder what that part of the results would look like. Would only a small percentage of African and Spanish show up? I doubt any Taino would.
