It's been really worthwhile, I have also used my results to connect with family members in St Vincent and the UK.

Nice video 👌🏾

My parents are Vincy too, from Layou and I have been several times to the mainland, the grenadines and neighbouring islands. They are all beautiful. Can you tell me which DNA service you used please? I've been wanting to do this for a long time and was sad to have missed the year of the return. Even so, I do plan to go to Africa and have a real calling to visit Salvador Do Bahia in Brazil where there is a large diaspora of afro-Brazilians who still have links to African traditions, as do we with our food 'conkey' (possibly an evolution of Kenkey. Well done breds on posting this. A Vincy product from London born of 2x parents from :-) Also want to go to Belize as I think my mum and dad both have Carib blood. Please let me know which DNA service or kit you used. I would like to do this too. Big Thank you. TeeTee

Easy bro. The service I used was Ancestry, costs about £65...but I would recommend African Ancestry kit as this holds markers from our African ancestors so will give you a better estimate. If you do post a video I would be interested in seeing the results. I am convinced that Africans in St Vincent are from Nigeria, Benin and Togo areas....I don't believe the narrative of history that we have been given about our origins in the islands....I believe that Africans were in the islands way before the European slave trade. But that is another story.

I couldn't help but notice your name Browne as that's my family name, we're from St Vincent too. High possibility we could be related

There are so many Browne's in St Vincent....I think the name is from Lt Thomas Browne who owned a huge estate/plantation in Georgetown.

The West African squadron forced the Portuguese to give up slavery. I'm sorry if you have not heard about the force. As an Englishman from the east of Europe Mums side. With the rest mostly from old Scandinavia. I'm interested in mixed folk from all over the planet.
