Basically you got some Haitian in you...:ohhh:Welcome home, breh :therethere:
Sak ap fet, neg lakay? :myman:

I figured I would since I'm from the cibao region. alot of Haitian brehs in that part. from what I understand my grandfather's family is mostly dark skinned which is why I thought I would have more african since my other 3 grandparents are all mixed to some degree as well.

I thought you were going to be more European and less African. Something like 71% Euro 17% African.

without having any knowledge on genealogy and just taking a look at my parents and grandparents, my guess was around 45% white, 45% african and 10% taino and other. i thought i would be higher on the african because i have a black grandfather, 2 grandmother's with at least 1 black parent, and 1 white grandfather with a mulatto mother.

interesting thing is i recently found out my grandfather who is black has a taino last name. i never thought i had any indigenous at all since nobody in my fam looks it and tainos were basically wiped out in DR. when i mentioned that to people in one of the anti-dr threads, a few laughed and brushed it off. turns out i have 10% indigenous blood according to that test.

my guess is my grandfather's ancestors were some of the first escaped slaves that ran to the mountains and hills of the cibao and lived together with the tainos that were already there..

While sugar cane dramatically increased Spain's earnings on the island, large numbers of the newly imported slaves fled into the nearly impassable mountain ranges in the island's interior, joining the growing communities of cimarrónes—literally, 'wild animals'. By the 1530s, cimarrón bands had become so numerous that in rural areas the Spaniards could only safely travel outside their plantations in large armed groups.

shyt is all interesting as fukk. i wish i had a way to find out how the fukk i have 10% british in me tho :russ: probably some pirate of the carribean fukked one of my great grandmas.
