  I have taken the test for 23AndMe and I’m looking forward to the results from that test after taking AncestryDNA and to see the results are consistent with each other. My results from AncestryDNA was overall 98% Sub Saharan African with only 2% England and Northwestern Europe because of my mom’s family having white ancestors. I was even surprised to learn my father’s ancestors came from Haiti prior to settling in The Bahamas. I’ve taken the African Ancestry MatriClan and found that my maternal lineage traces back to the Tuareg ethnic group in Mali and I’m currently awaiting my paternal haplogroup from 23AndMe prior to the PatriClan test.

  It's amazing how pre 19th colonialism Africa the continent had a diversity on par with Asia practically. With Madagascar included you had Polynesian Asians too. On the mainland there was numerous negroid races the one in particular I always think of in Subsaharran is the Bantu. Of course lets not forget the Khoisan people who have practically light skin like yours with Asian eyefold, also the Pygmies and Ebo people too. Then you have Horn Africans who are categorically placed as Caucasoid, but don't ask my why. Maybe the 2,000 years of Arabain pennisula contact had an effect on them for that to be the case. Let's not forget though too the reason we call Africa, Africa the Mediterranean peoples of Tunisia, Morocco, Lybia, Algeria and Egypt. So many people forgot that Africa is diverse in part to it's own native Caucasoid groups there too. Good for you ma'am, I'm glad you're finding the roots to your past. I hope you learn more about said ancestors. I suggest looking up Chief X he has a large library on East, Central and even Horn African history.

  Nice comparison. 😎👍 I agree that each DNA-testing company has at least one strong point over other such companies (which can make testing with multiple companies quite informative: giving one access to living relatives &/or a better view of the big picture ethnicity-wise, time-wise, & migratory-wise). Also, it's nice that you referenced periodic updates because as more folk participate more is learned - leading to more refined ethnicity-area guesstimations (where about 2 decades ago a company could only name a continent with any degree of accuracy, nowadays with so much more participation - increasing their knowledge database - they can often point to a more-specific group of countries on a continent & some cases they can narrow their guesstimations down to a small region, city, or even a tribe). I heard about 23&Me having that ethnicity-timeline feature (which looked cool); but then, I discovered CRI Genetics offered the same thing - in a different format - but that they went back much further [In my case I got lucky & they were able to go back 73 generations, to around 175AD (assuming 25yr/generation; further back if assuming 30 or 40 year generations); & they call this their Advanced Ancestry Analysis where they describe where on which chromosome they found the relevant data for each ethnicity guesstimate - & what the statistically-determined accuracy of their guesstimate is (such information can be an eye opener & show ethnicities that one's family had already forgot, or was never discussed during family gatherings); but, CRI Genetics doesn't offer any DNA-matches with living folk outside of some generally indirect & very-distant cousin matches to some selected celebrities, a few of which are still alive]. FamilyTreeDNA offers the best detailed Paternal-Line Y-DNA & Maternal-Line mtDNA test results, but as of yesterday navigating some areas of their website wasn't very user friendly (due to scrolling issues). Some companies offer haplogroups, but they stop short of a full examination & give a basic haplogroup designation like R1b or H6 rather than look deep & see if they can also determine the "address-like" subclaves of a haplogroup as well (something FamilyTreeDNA does, but isn't always successful at as varying factors may be involved - & they charge much more due to this effort, be it fruitful or not). Each company's respective database & algorythms are different, so ethnicity guesses vary (sometimes a little bit & sometimes quite a bit). Sometimes one can find connections to differing guesstimates by coming across & considering relevant histories of ethnicity-areas during certain timelines. And certain companies are said to be better with guesstimations about certain continents or peoples (mostly due to differences in databases).

  Yesss I’m so happy for you!!❤️❤️ I’m Fulani & Yoruba on my mother’s side 🇳🇬.i luv African ancestry & the group because they give you so much more insight on how DNA works etc.the difference between AA and the other tests like Ancestry,23& me ,MyHeritage etc is because those are autosomal tests so they test your whole DNA makeup from mother & father & they have less samples to compare with. AA is the most accurate because they have 33,000 lineages to compare from vs 200-1,300 ..is as African Americans were mixed with so many different ethnic groups & that’s what I looove about is ❤️❤️❤️ Congrats🎉🎉🎉

  How does that work then? Two tests have told you you're mainly Nigerian (one specific saying you are Igbo). Then the African DNA says you are Sierria leonian. I Notice that 95% of the time the African DNA comes up as sierra leonian or cameroon for Americans. Unfortunately I am not convinced with the African Ancestry test. I have ore confidence in the other two. One of which I took and linked up with my second cousin. Then again it could be the difference between the maternal and the paternal lineage

• 
  @sincerelyvaliАй бұрын

  Hey there! I can see how these DNA test can be quite confusing sometimes. According to some of the feedback I’ve gotten on this video, the company AA matches you with the origin of your maternal lineage (Dating back 2000 years). So although Nigeria makes up the highest percentage of my genetics, the origin of my mom’s family started in Sierra Leone. I assume the “Igbo” ancestry on my 23 & Me test could’ve been ancesty from my dad’s side that popped up (but I’m not 100% sure). But this is how I understand it so far. Thanks for watching & for leaving feedback! 😊

While general when an Igbo lady gives birth out of wedlock the child belongs to her family and if they get married the child belongs to her husband And if they're not married, and the man wants the children as his There are traditional rites he has to fulfill before the kids are his

Now understand this, the Cherokee used to be in the East Coast line and those were the Indian genius that they took into slavery ship to England so when they came back almost 200 years later, they were mixed Jewish and indigenous, and those are the light Indians that you see on the reservations as for the. Blacks, there's very few. And what I mean by thit may be one out of 10. Is native mix? The rest are 100% makes of Caucasian. There are no pure blacks in America. You're all Caucasian mixed. And the only reason why your number in and black is because the further away. You are from slavery unless you're gonna see, but it's still there.
