Just got my Ancestry DNA Results

[Samori Toure]

What do you recommend ?

A DNA test that will give you the direct lines of your mother and father is good starting point, but it only looks at your mother's mother and not her father; and it only looks at your father's father and not his mother. .

I took the African Ancestry test. My maternal line is Mende from Sierra Leone and my paternal line is Bissa from Burkina Faso. Both are Mande people.

It is more expensive than the other tests, because they don't have corporate sponsorship. It is a really informative test.

I may take it because I want to see if it can give me insight for greater than the last 200 years.

On my fathers side i know my family history when it comes to probably the last 150 yrs (when the patriarch of that time came into Liberia from Guinea which I believe was around the time of Samori Ture), but I want to see how far back I can go. On my mom side I know she has some rare Haplogroup so I want to see what this tear says about that.

That is the exact same region that my mother has, which makes sense because further genetic test shows that her maternal line is Mende from Sierra Leone. The weirdest part is that I come back to North Carolina Northern Coastal Plain, which overlaps with the South Carolina.

Charlemagne is 96%

And I guarantee most people from his hometown have similar percentages.

If they start testing more small town rural southern AA’s, especially in places like South Carolina, the numbers are gonna run higher.

South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. My folks are originally from small town Tennessee and ain't no nikka came in under 85% yet. Some are coming in at 95%+.

I actually have more matches with people in the Carribean but then again that could be due to the sheer number of slaves they were bringing in there.

I saw another poster talk about when they reached out to Africans people didnt respond But I think thats just the nature of the site. I’ve reached out to a few people on there seeing if i could provide some assistance and only 2 out of a ton were actually responsive.

And another one bites the dust

nikkas giving out their DNA, just be told they black, and have arbitrary bragging rights on dumbass purity

This shyt is a grand hustle. Charge people to give you they’re dna. Who knows what they are testing on your dna without your knowledge. There was a black woman whose dna had been used in tests for decades after she passed without her families knowledge. Imagine if these scientists are bioengineering a cure/disease specific to your ethnicity or race.

You probably match more people in the Caribbean, because they brought in more slaves more recently from West Africa; than slaves were brought into the USA. In other words the typical African American has been in the USA for a much longer time, than the typical person from the Caribbean and even South American have been where they are. The slaves kept being replenished in the Caribbean and South America after they died off, which is why the Caribbean and South America retained a lot of African traditions, because the new slaves kept bringing them. Whereas African Americans were almost a self contained unit for a period of 300-400 years and their growth was mostly through their own reproduction, rather than from new slaves being imported from West Africa.

Me and my mother matched two women in Mali. The matches were remote, but they were still there.

Yup.

Especially when you consider in small towns the pot isn’t mixing up as much as it does in the city, with folks who been in living in segregated Black spaces since their ancestors got off the boat.

For example I got invited to a family reunion in Centreville, Texas(unfortunately couldn’t make it). It was joked to me that everybody’s just about related because it’s so small.

Looked at my family history and saw that one of my great-great-great something grandfather’s had two families going at the same time, both Women had damn near 20 kids each.


And I got closer family examples than that...like a generation ago, 1960’s/70’s/80’s. It’s so many factors in this shyt that too many people don’t consider, that’s why I laugh when folks throw them 70% numbers out there.

Yeah it is expensive, because they don't have corporate sponsors. I bought the maternal and paternal lines and they gave me a discount on their website.
