Can Memories Be Passed Down Through DNA?

Q: Could memories and feelings be passed from generation to generation in DNA?  I grew up in Alabama. The first time I came West I was 21 years old and I knew I was coming “home.” Yet I had never been in this area.  The first time I heard Native American chanting and music, it was already in my soul.  I do have a great great great grandmother that was Cherokee Indian. Not much known about her and I was not raised with this knowledge. Could this be similar to “déjà vu,” that feeling you’ve “been there before” whe you know you could not have? – Jill, Golden, Colorado
