“I have native american” ancestry is some of the biggest lies white americans say.
I can’t find Jackson’s father’s Native American ancestry. Can anyone find anything I might’ve missed?
Because it does not exist.
Can you find more about Mackenzie Rosman?
I filled out more of her ancestry.
thank you
Hewas named by his father after the 1950s Western series “Cheyenne”
