Many of us in South Louisiana do know this as Chinese and Japanese are two of the possible 13 DNAs that makes up many of our Creole ethnic bloodlines along with a large percentage of African, French, Spanish, Native Indian, Canadian, Irish, German, Philippine and sadly but some European DNA as well. We’re an amalgam of races..a Gombo as we say..a Creole gumbo not saying that everyone possesses all 13 but all of us do have the main 4 or eight which is African, French, Spanish and Native American. But our knowledge of our bloodlines are passed down generation to generation and can be seen in family photos…I don’t trust these tests cause they simply google who you are, research your last name and go by your skin tone.

I’ve done the ancestry DNA test and have identified mostly west African heritage, which, yes, does include Nigeria, and a few other west African countries, as well as some east African nations, which was a surprise on my mother side. I definitely get questions as to whether I am part Asian as well. DNA shows that less than one percent of my ancestral heritage is Chinese and Native American combined…. But also if we look at many Africans, especially the “ original people” the KhoiSan people of South Africa we can see that almond eyes originated in Africa.

So that surprise me, which, if true, makes me more 100%. So call African American descendants of a migration pattern versus slavery pattern. I think for most not all.

@@usa_kenyan It's not generally discussed. I found this article from DW: East Africa's forgotten slave trade The Middle East and Turkish Ottoman Empire regions had a real penchant for slavery. They always have. It indicates that whites were the slaves of choice until the European militaries were developed enough to prevent it. I've seen a brief excerpt of a documentary on the topic of white slavery in the Ottoman Empire in which Slavs, primarily females for sexual slavery, were held by Muslims and Jews. It would make sense, since that region has always had a penchant for slavery, that they would turn to East Africa. How did they eventual East African slave migrations occur? How did they make it to the America's? IDK? Egypt and Morocco are mentioned. Possibly Jewish slave traders? They'd blend in better with European stock than Arabs and North Africans. I'm not exactly sure, but the East African slave trade was probably occurring even before the West African slave trade, primarily including Arabs and probably also Jews?

There was a lot of migration in Africa over the years. So I wouldn't be surprised if any African Americans or other diaspora found out that they have some East African heritage. The Bantus in Kenya where I'm from (60% of the country) came from from Central and West Africa (Congo & Cameroon mostly). You can see that in language today. There are common words and grammatical structure all the way from Southeastern Nigeria across to Kenya on the Eastern coast, sweeping all the way down to South Africa.

Yes, that’s me, too!! Puerto Rican father with African roots- my father’s DNA says 30% African, and mine came out 15% African. I have mostly Iberian & France, and some Scottish/English from one great-grandfather.

Very cool; Thanks for sharing! I took the ancestry test from 23andMe a while ago. There was nothing shocking in the results, but it was super interesting to see how it was broken down. Overall was 73% Sub-Saharan African and 26% NW European.

Well you're not black you're mixed

Yup, I've done DNA testing twice; once with 23andMe and the other with Ancestry. I'm 70% African (mostly Nigerian too), 27% European (my dad is mixed; his father was either White or White-passing), 2% Native American (my mom's father was half Cherokee), and 1% Bengali from India (this was a surprise; I found out I have Caribbean ancestry and many are mixed with East Indian ancestry). The reason that MOST people of African descent in the Americas have Nigerian DNA, is because the Yoruba tribe from modern-day Nigeria was the most enslaved group of Africans. I already knew my test was going to reveal a high percentage of Nigerian ancestry because my mom had met some of her father's Yoruba relatives. Also, anyone with Native American ancestry might show percentages of Asian ancestry. This is due to the theorized migration over the Bering Straight, or poor Native sample sizes with any given company, that skews comparisons.

​​@spacesandplacesoutthere That's not how the tests are designed. They only go back to a hypothetical 500 years. Each company explains this on their website. 23andMe gives the best explanations as to what these tests can determine, what they can't, and why. What these test do have are "broad" categories that cover whomever was most likely indigenous to a specific continent. Remember, these tests only match people's DNA against other group samples. White people were probably the first to start taking these tests, while Natives are probably the least likely. As more people take these tests, the ethnic sample sizes grow. Tests are routinely updated with this new information, and the comparisons become more refined and "accurate". All I know is that 23andMe found a bunch of verified relatives for me. Many of the Black relatives it found, reached out to talk about how we're related. It was very interesting. Meanwhile, all of the White relatives have not said "boo", and ignored my messages in one case. 😂😂😂. Not surprised. 😒

Yep…did mine some years back (Ancestry), and if I ever do it again, I’ll do African Ancestry to nail down my matrilineal line. But take everything with a grain of salt…you get 50% of each parent’s dna, but that leaves out the other 50% that is still your ancestry. But definitely fascinating to peel back the layers, especially for us Black folk whose ancestors went through the horror that was America’s chattel slavery system.

I was born in Ghana but my parents were from Nigeria. All the Hausas that U see in Ghana are from Nigeria. There's no Hausaland in Ghana. I'll say, 90-something percent of Ghanaians don't know that Hausas are from Nigeria. Yorubas and Hausas from Nigeria have been in Ghana for over a century. My own grandmother went to Ghana sometime around 1910. I have cousins whose mothers are Ghanaians. Some of them don't speak Yoruba and have never been to Nigeria. I have nieces and nephews who are half Nigerian. Some of those relatives may not even know about their Nigerian origins. The're places in Ghana that were founded by Nigerians. Mokola is a Yoruba market place but U can see that Yoruba women founded one in Accra. Cow-lane, Kasowa and the like are places peopled by Yoruba and Hausas. U can only know if U know the origins of the names some of the places and the foods in Ghana. So please, don't dismiss the results of ur DNA test. Possibly, it's challenging U to do some research about urself and family history. Hausas and Yorubas have been mingling with Ghanaians for over a century. For ur info the current Chief Imam of Ghana who is over 100 years old is a Nigerian born in Ghana. His family is from Borno state in Nigeria. There's more to explore. Thank U.
