Nice, I was wondering. ^_^ According to FamilyTreeDNA, L3e3b within Africa, you get this haplogroup in Angola, Madagascar, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire and Gabon. Although 23&me reading is quite rough, FamilyTreeDNA, gives full reading of the mitochondria, you may belong in one of the 3 branches below L3e3b. Or maybe a new one which they aren't aware of yet...

If you’re curious about the “Filipino & Austronesian” trace ancestry it comes from 4,700~4,800 Malagasy enslaved people sent to Early Virginia Colony in 1716 to 1721 from Madagascar 🇲🇬 with other slaves sent to the 13 Colonies 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿! A dna uncovered TikTok page just released a video about African American’s Gene, it surprised several of AAs that they have at least 0.5~3.8% Filipino & Austronesian, Mainland Southeast Asia, or Indian ancestry related to Virginia African Americans

This is so cool. I’m Creole on both sides of my family, but my mother’s side is all very light skinned with light hair/eyes and varying hair textures. My dad has a looser hair texture but is darker skinned. My results came back with me being 74% SSA, 24% European (French and Spanish) with trace Native ancestry. I was really surprised since I easily pass as biracial and share a closer phenotype to you than your daughter. It’s interesting how phenotype is not always equal to your genotype and even though I am historically MGM, I have results that supposedly typical for an African American. Edit: Also I wonder do the test results differ according to the site? I’ve taken one test from 23andme and was gifted another but haven’t taken it.

@CreoleLadyMarmalade

Oh wow! Genetics are crazy. I have another daughter and they both have the same dad so I assume their percentages are pretty similar but my younger daughter is light skin with lightish brown eyes so genetics do whatever they feel like doing lol. My sister is the same as them too. Her dad is a dark skin, African American & she’s 65% Subsaharan African and has long, tight, type 3 curls and a light caramel skin tone. She’s often mistaken for East African because she has a slim face & nose and all. Genetics can combine to have us come out looking all kinds of ways lol. I took Ancestry & 23&Me too and the results vary a little at the regional level but the overall continental level was prettymuch identical. I was 52% Subsaharan African on Ancestry and 51.4% here. 47% European on Ancestry and 46.something% here and then 1.6% Indigenous here & 1% on Ancestry so your overall racial composition shouldn’t vary much at all. It does start to get a little fuzzy at the regional level but you know what you are overall so if one says you’re 4% Irish and the other says you’re 7% Irish, that’s really neither here nor there for your overall identity. Like how I’m 14% Spanish here, I think I’m like 11% Spanish on Ancestry and 4% Basque (something like that). Well Basque is a small area on the border of Spain and France that technically sits in Spain but they have their own identity outside of both Spanish & French. But because it sits in Spain, they share genetic similarities with Spanish people and lots of Latinos and Creoles have Basque ancestry too. So 23&Me isn’t pointing out the specific bit of Basque and is just lumping it together with overall Spanish whereas Ancestry separates the two. Me being Creole and part Nicaraguan, it just makes sense to say I’m overall part Spanish. No one in my family has any ties to Basque. I didn’t even know that existed until I took the test. So some little “discrepancies” don’t matter in the grand scheme of it all. Either way it goes, both Basque and Spanish are common components within both Creoles & Latinos so whether I’m 14.3% Spanish or 11% Spanish & 4% Basque, doesn’t really matter. It’s little differences like that that you may find between tests but overall, it shouldn’t be anything crazy enough to make you question your identity lol. They should both overall line up with what you already know of your background.

Doing my ancestry with 23andme was SOOO eye-opening for me!

I've been mistaken for everything under the sun, so I was floored when I saw ALL of those things in my DNA! I guess other folks were able to pick that up somehow in my phenotype.

It’s exciting to do this at such a young age! And even for the older generations, it’s crazy to think years ago the test didn’t exist 😩 I also want to apologize for saying “I’m only 5% colonizer” when referring to the British/English. Idk if I offended the other viewer but, that wasn’t my intention💖. I know you probably understood because of our one on one. I know basically the entire Europe colonized the world but, I thought it was a cool discovery finding the African American parts is close to being 100% African and figured they could have the Gullah background. I already knew why and how I’m Irish and German. Learning something about the African American lineage felt exciting and since the English is a part of that lineage, I separate it from my other European ethnicities when I speak about the AA parts. I’ve seen African American Gullah results and they are always excited about it. I felt that same feeling for the great grands and one of my grandmothers who only have an African American lineage. The British/English was just a little more ruthless therefore I felt happy for them. I realized being more on the mixed side, I have to be careful how I say things because it can come off wrong, completely 😫. I feel I have to explain myself a little more so I’m not offending anyone. I noticed you can do the same and I relate 100%. My sincere apologies if it brought any negativity 🌹

The term "half black and half Creole" is not accurate because Creole does not refer to a specific ethnicity. A Creole person can be of any ethnic background (African, European, or a mix of two or more distinct ethnic groups) and is typically associated with the French-speaking and Catholic colonies.

Two distinct cultures and backgrounds and it wouldn’t be fair to label my daughter as only African American and ignore my Creole heritage or only Creole and ignore her father’s African American heritage. Plus, people would accuse her of “othering” herself if she only referred to herself as Creole anyway. It’s very fitting to specify both backgrounds.

Oh but Creole is a specific ethnicity. It’s French from France and or Spanish from Spain settled into Louisiana during colonial Louisiana. That’s what a Creole of Louisiana is. A bloodline. A lineage. Specifically. It IS a specific ethnic group. Add in Sub Saharan African and or non Afro Native American and or Afro Native American and that makes a Louisiana Creole of Color. Yes we can have other things in us. Especially those of us that have other ethnic groups in our backgrounds. There are White and Black Creoles of Louisiana. There are heavily mixed Creoles that simply identify as the ethnicity and not with a race. That’s the specific bloodline and lineage. If the lineage ain’t been here since Colonial French and or Spanish Louisiana with the specific bloodline… the person ain’t a Creole! It doesn’t matter if they can speak French backwards! They ain’t no Creole! It doesn’t matter if they can cook gumbo with their eyes closed. They ain’t no Creole. It is a specific bloodline and lineage.

African Americans are Anglo-Saxons but also Germanic due to German and Dutch immigration during the colonial period. Parts of New Jersey and New York had a Dutch speaking slave population. Some black families still spoke Dutch and went to Dutch churches in New York after the Civil War. The oldest African American holiday is Pinkster which was derived from the Dutch word for Pentecostal Holiday "Pinksteren". The holiday became synonymous with the enslaved population and this was when they were able to move freely and see family members. They also incorporated drumming, banjo playing and a lot of African based music. They even chose a King for the day. The populations that spoke German mainly in NC and Texas.

However after The Louisiana Purchase, Creoles of Color were grouped into American Blackness and are part of the 1860 4.4 million population grouped into American Blackness that's the population which is the ethnogenesis of contemporary Black Americans.

Technically, your daughter can't inherit something that you don't have, unless it comes from her father, but the algorithms are estimates and cannot be precise. There may be no-calls in some of the results. On 23andMe, you can change the confidence level from the default of 50% to, say, 95% and the estimates will change.

Arabs have been present in North Africa since the mid-7th century. The Greeks and Romans arrived in 332 BCE and 31 BCE, respectively. Before these periods, North Africa was populated by the same groups of Africans living in what is now called Sub-Saharan Africa.

About ethnicity which show one generation, hide the next and show again the third one, the smaller the segment, the more likely they are to look like many close ethnicities, a little segment of French can look like Spanish or Italian, or British, or German, depending of what's around. And the small East Asian or South Asian or anything in between is probably from you American Indigenous ancestors, just so tiny they can look Asian. It's super interesting that they read Nigerian ancestors so close in your grand-mother's DNA, not sure if you can find records of them personally, but it sure is compelling to search more. ^_^ About your husband's French reading, there were French Huguenots in Virginia, if he has ancestor in the region...

Yes we should appreciate and not look down on anything that’s apart of our heritage but realistically speaking if someone asks what our background is, they’re not asking about that 1.2% of something you found out about via DNA testing. For me, those are great to learn about and we should be greatful for all of our ancestors because we needed every last one of them in order for us to exist today but those tiny bits of ancestry speak to their experience and who they were, not us & our everyday experiences. I’m grateful for whichever ancestor is responsible for my less than 1% Asian ancestry but can I say I’ve lived even a fraction of an Asian or even Blasian experience? Absolutely not.

The Melungeons, Dismal Swamp-Virginia NC, Early New England Blacks and Black Seminoles are very similar to Creoles in phenotype. They have distinct cultures, spiritual practices, language and food. Others like the Gullah/Geechee have almost 100% African percentages. We also have to remember that Latino will not show up in a DNA test. Your grandmother is mestizo which accounts for her admixture but there are many Nicaraguans with much higher African admixtures than your daughter. Interesting that your results are very similar to mine. My mother's mother Cane River Creole and her father Gullah Geechee. My father Puerto Rican.

Not all Creoles are heavily mixed so that’s feasible. If your dad is African American, he likely has mainly English/Scottish admixture and your mom could have some as well. As you can see in my video, Creoles mixed a lot with African Americans so we’ll often have small bits of British/Irish/Scottish type groups as well so your mom probably inherited a small bit of that and your dad most likely did so it would make sense that that’s what your background consists of.

It doesn't necessarily mean the person is closer to being straight from Nigeria at a point in time but the person's ancestry is all from Nigeria. The ancestors themselves could have been here since the 1600s!?

Thank-you! & that’s not very common amongst Creoles today. We’re all aware of and proud of our African ancestry. You see mixed Creoles dating/married to African Americans more often than you see them with oneanother. Things started to shift drastically in that regard around the 70s. & we’re not a different race from African Americans because Creole nor African American is a race but we are a different ethnicity & people tend to get mad when those of us who understand our heritage say this. People like to say we’re a sub category of African Americans but we aren’t. We existed when Louisiana was still a French colony before any Americans were even here, let alone African Americans. Also, there are non black Creoles so it’d be impossible for them to be a sub group of African American. Louisiana Creoles are culturally French/Latin while African Americans are culturally Anglo. We have our own language which is a dialect of French mixed with African languages. We’re ethnically mixed with French/southern European. We were Catholic and French or Creole speaking, have our own food etc. African Americans are mixed with British/Northern European and the British didn’t mix as freely as the French and Spanish so they aren’t as mixed on average as Creoles. Though, not all Creoles are mixed with light skin either. Especially nowadays after all the mixing with African Americans. We are sister communities and both beautiful but our roots, histories are distinct. Beautifully distinct.

Your family is technically biracial your daughter would be considered black I'm also from Louisiana Mansfield to be exact my great grandmother was white passing blue eyes fair skin my grandmother her daughter was mixed white black I consider myself black

😂 well I count all the small stuff in terms of race. Like if I have a bunch of Subsaharan African and 1% of it is Nigerian, I’m not gonna go around claiming to be part Nigerian but I would still include that 1% in my overall “blackness.” Like if I were 49% other Subsaharan African stuff & 1% Nigerian, I’d say I was 50% black/Subsaharan African even though I wouldn’t necessarily claim the specific nationality of the little 1%. If that makes sense lol. But when it comes to small percentages of stuff that don’t fit into a larger percentage of other ethnicities that are part of that same race, that’s the stuff I don’t claim. I’m not gonna claim to be part Asian with less than 1% Asian but if I were 20% Chinese and 1% Japanese, I would consider myself 21% Asian overall even though I’d probably only claim being part Chinese in such an instance.

@CreoleLadyMarmalade

2 ай бұрын

It’s not really about what skin color or features you have. If you’re mixed you’re mixed. Obama doesn’t really look mixed but he’s still biracial/half white none the less. Sounds like you’re mostly ethnically mixed rather than racially mixed. You’re mixed with three different ethnicities/nationalities. Haitian, Cuban & I’m assuming by black you mean African American. African Americans are typically of mostly African ancestry and Haitians are generally of mostly African ancestry as well. Usually a bit more than African Americans. Haitians are usually closer to pure African like in a 90%+ range while African Americans are typically 75% or more African. So racially you’d be mostly “black” from both of those but idk what your mom’s Cuban ancestry consists of. Is her Cuban side black Cubans or white Cubans or mixed Cubans? If they’re black or mixed Cubans, then racially you’re majority black because your African American side is black and your Haitian side is black so if your Cuban side is also black or mixed with black then all that spells majority black. You’d be ethnically mixed but racially black. But if her Cuban side is white or majority white then that’d be like you having a biracial parent (black Haitian & white Cuban) & an African American parent so you might be seen as racially mixed in that instance. You know your family & background better than I do so you’d know the answer more than I would. People can be ethnically mixed but still be fully/majority black racially. If someone had an Igbo parent from Nigeria and a Jamaican parent, they’d be ethnically/culturally mixed with Nigerian & Jamaican but they’d still be fully, racially black. Whereas if they had a Nigerian parent and a Puerto Rican parent and that Puerto Rican parent only has like 20% African ancestry then they’d be racially mixed because that Puerto Rican parent has a lot of non black ancestry that they’d be getting passed down to them.

@@ce7133 Hmmm 🤔🤔 I think it’d be fair for someone like that to identify either way. I’d personally see them moreso as white but if they’re 20% black, that likely means they have a whole black grandparent (African Americans have non black, usually mostly European admixture as well so most people with one black grandparent actually aren’t a whole 25% Subsaharan African because that black grandparent isn’t a full 100% Subsaharan African) so I’m not sure that white people are going to see someone who has a whole black grandparent as simply white so I wouldn’t want to force someone in that space to feel like they can’t identify as mixed and they have to identify as white when white people may not even embrace them as such. So I’d say if someone in that range feels comfortable identifying as white then that actually makes the most sense to me but if they don’t feel comfortable identifying as such & aren’t being embraced as such, I think it’s fine to identify as mixed as well. 79% white or less is definitley mixed to me and 80-89% is a case by case up in the air thing to me but 90%+ white is definitely just white to me.

Well Louisiana Creole is an ethnicity so that’s what I’m doing ☺️. There’s only a very few number of actual races in the world so yes lots of people all have similar racial mixtures at it’s core but when we break down our specific ethnic compositions & cultures, that’s where the uniqueness comes in at. Creoles are generally of African and French/southern European ancestry and have lots of French cultural influence & most of our grand/great-grandparents spoke French or Louisiana Creole which is a French/African dialect. We have our own food and language and we’re generally Catholic (I’m not Catholic but just as a whole). We’re very culturally Latin/French while maintaining lots of African influence as well. At it’s core, our culture differs from the general African American culture so I definitely place focus on my specific Creole ethnicity as opposed to simply saying “mixed” as that can refer to anyone in the world as you just said.
