Native American DNA in Rains/Raines

Here is the response from FTDNA regarding Native American Lineage:

Certain haplotypes and haplogroups have been linked to Native American populations. Specifically, Y-DNA haplogroups Q, Q3, O3, C and C3 have been documented in Native American populations. MtDNA haplogroups A, B, C, D, and X have been associated with Native American ancestry as well. These haplogroup assignments do not definitively prove Native American ancestry in all cases because they can also be found in Asian populations in other parts of the world. MtDNA haplogroup X, for example, has the widest distribution of any haplogroup, and can be found on every continent. The oral history and genealogical records must be used in conjunction with the test results to prove Native American ancestry definitively in most cases. Y-DNA haplogroup Q3 is the only haplogroup found exclusively in Native American lineages.

Since none of these haplogroups have been documented among members of your Rains project, none of these lineages have Native American ancestry. DSR Note: This is the answer from Family Tree DNA testing.
