I am trying to trace my Native American roots through my Combs/Pendleton/McElfresh sides of the family. This is my brick wall . I've verified it through DNA through my Uncle Butch to get the paternal DNA. Any help would be appreciative.

I noticed a comment you posted on Rosa Belle Pendleton that mentions a Gedcom file.
Because we are a single, collaborative tree, the data from a Gedcom doesn't automatically get imported, but generates a report that allows you to see who is already linked to the tree and give you the option to add or merge profiles from your Gedcom into our shared tree.
You might want to look at this help page to get a better idea of how this works.
If you are still struggling, please feel free to reply or send me a PM.
I'm not sure, to be honest with you. All my Pendletons are English (based in Lancashire and Yorkshire). That's not to say there's no link - my research only goes back as far as the 1720s (see John Pendleton of Childwall) and I think the American Pendletons (at least those who settled in early Virginia) have been traced to the 1500s.
There are many Pendleton branches I have dealt with over the years who may or may not be connected, but so far I have met dead ends with all of them, so at the moment it's one huge jigsaw puzzle.
