You look like a Yoruba couple from Nigeria. A lot of our people were sold into slavery from west Africa (Nigeria inclusive).
@@tosinogidiolu1 Thank you! Looking forward to seeing our people face to face!
@@TheYarbroswith all the rape that took place during slavery, iam not surprised there are so many white DNA. I have Irish DNA, but it's probably a result of rape. No way I would visit there.
Is the link you are providing the African Ancestry DNA test?
I’m a Scot & I also did a my heritage dna & would like to share my results:
83% Irish Scottish & Welsh
11.4 Greek & South Italian
5.6 Baltic
I’ve over 16 thousand dna matches from America Australia New Zealand Canada Ireland the uk & a lot more peppered around the globe . If you ever do make it to Ireland you should pop over to Scotland as we’re like 13 miles across the sea . My homeland is beautiful. Love from Scotland 💙
I absolutely love visiting Scotland in fall of 2022! Beautiful cities, countryside and people! Hoping to go back and be able to explore for longer than a few days.
I’m Scottish too and I’m also part Italian. Really shocked by that.
Most Irish and Scottish have a bit of Italian and Iberian peninsula in them.
African Americans are also Scottish Descendants
Why are you so nice 🙂?
I don't trust those test, I took two different test with 2 totally different results. I will just remember what grandma said. ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Hold on to Granny's wisdom. I get it.
@@TRUEkcctv1384 if you do paternity test would you accept the result or not
problem with tests are the bases are skewed. take north afrika 100 years ago. no arabs. then the armies marched with allah blessing. but 1100 years ago, berbers may have predominated ....so the arab lineage as base would be false for Tunisa for example
@nkel6111 What is an Arab? There were Arabs in North Africa they never left until they were pushed out By the moors after they were pushed out of Sicily Italy and Europe
@@nkel6111 AN Arab is an Arabic speaking and writing person
I have taken the DNA test and found out my ethnic percentage estimates from Africa and I am happy to know, but I don’t think I would say”I didn’t know who I was” before the test. I have a rich history in the United States and I was proud of that even if it did start in the American slave trade. I am a proud Black American of African descent with a rich culture that I can now celebrate on 2 continents
Beautiful. I want everything that I feel was taken from me....if I can have it.
@@TheYarbroswe black people are hebrew israelite
@PRHousequake I am from the caribbean and I agree 100%. This "we don't know who we are" narrative has got to stop. Leave that for ignorant africans to say. You will never hear me say that. I know my people....and i'm extremely proud of them.
ok@@franman576
Well said. Thank you.
Loved the video as always❤ "Gimme my DNA" test. I'm a GA Peach blend. Thanks!
I took the African Ancestry DNA test as I wanted to go back to the beginning. Could only do it on my Mom's side; came out Cameroon - Bamileke tribe. So no, we aren't all from Nigeria :) Hope to visit in 2024! Excited for us all!!
Please note that West Africa was one, it was divided in the 1800, that when the countries got their names! Cameroon is next to Nigeria, it was one! So yes it could very well be possible that we are all from Nigeria. Please check out West African history!
I like African Ancestry because it breaks down the DNA to tribal groups. It is more specific.
I do appreciate how you can go deeper with the technology out there. The fact that you know the tribe … incredible!
@@TheYarbros If my brother would do one we would know my father’s side too - still working on that 🥰
@@TheYarbrosvisit Brasil much places in brasil amazing
A lot of people don’t realize Chinese men were brought here to work in the railways. Some stayed a mixed with African-American women. Back then, most people weren’t documenting. They were trying to survive and may not have been able to write anyway.
Yes, and also the Chinese are part of the Caribbean history . . Jamaica for example
@@niko_walks these tests need an education in history, genetics, and detective work. It’s not just division of parents and grandparents.
Look everywhere we go there is a large Chinese community....and I mean everywhere all up in all kinds of "at risk" neighborhoods. They keep it moving.
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.
It’s always exciting to see the results . Congrats ! ❤
Stumbled upon this channel today and 3 videos later, I’m a subscriber and I look forward to more from you both!
Much love from Detroit!!💙🤍
That was beautiful Yarbros ,thank you for sharing it.I have not taken a DNA test but i will.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I absolutely love your energy and enthusiasm. It’s contagious! God Bless. ❤
So happy for you,Rondel surprised me 🎉
Shocked me too!
Gimme my DNA!!! Can't wait to see videos of y'all in Africa.
Can’t wait to go!
Gimme my DNA please. Appreciate the replay. I always wanted to know😊🎉🎉
Thanks for watching. We were definitely curious
Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks for watching!
The DNA tests were really fun.... My mom and I did them... CRAZY!
Oh my goodness, these two are too adorable! I am so glad I found your channel! I’ve traveled to Ecuador and seen many people that look like us as well as in Chile Argentina and of course, Brazil! 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.
Heyyy! it is so interesting what dna reveals. The almond eyes, the high cheek bones and the interesting hair. Loved that you have been soo many places where we are a community. Thanks for watching and enjoying our content. -Blessings
Love this interesting mixture
There's no such thing as Khoi, it's Khoe, Khwe
That’s amazing
@@TheYarbrosthose dnas are not REAL.

Gotcha!
Thank you for sharing your stories!!!
Simply exceptional! I'm happy for the two of you.
DNA reveals are always good to watch. Only remember one where an individual showed a negative response. Most of us will get some type of a surprise. I have distant cousins in Siberia.
I REMEMBER HER !!! she found out she was 35% white and was not happy. if i remember she did 2 more and her whiteness came back HIGHER!. FUNNY STUFF. we are born American first.
“Give me my DNA” Great video guys. I was thinking about doing a DNA test next year, perfect timing.
Thanks for tuning in! We got you in the drawing.

Do it its rewarding and exiting
What a fun & enlightening video!
Hey!!! Thanks and thanks for being so engaged w/ our channel. We appreciate you!
I won! My wife and I made a bet about your heritage! Looking at you both, I said 80% Nigerian, she said 80% Ghanaian, so I won!! You are my cousins!!
Hello cuz!
That's alot Nigeria and Ghananeese
400 years
No disrespect but those test are not true, it’s only for entertainment and can’t stand in court…
They only mission is to take you off the land of America
Where the only original aborigines are melinated ( so called black) every other race are native ( meaning born but the descendants are from other places originally) and this is a fact……. It’s all love and no disrespect I’m just tired of them lying to the ppl
While they’re stealing the land ( facts) please 🙏🏾 research ask the dna company they will tell you themselves
Loved this video. Please consider visiting South Africa. That place has something, people come on a visit and never leave after experiencing the love from the people of SA and spirituality
We will be there as soon as we can!
The results are absolute bunkum. Nigeria is in West Africa and is made up of ethnic groups. What does it mean to be “Nigerian” and “West African”? Of what specific ethnic groups will these fall into? Then they are Kenyan. Again, of what ethnic group?
We have more specific analysis done when visiting the area draws near. Currently this inexpensive test is a fantastic road map. Region means alot to some one who has not idea where they are even from. Most black Americans just want to go to Africa in general. This gives me more footing. Ethnicities are unimportant right now.@@israelnwanne8401
Been to South Africa on my way to Tanzania and Kenya, stayed three days at Johannesburg . Was 1994 the year Mandela became President. The city is like any other big one in the world, but met only nice people, had plans go to Durban and see the coast. Talking with my girlfriend during the game in Kenya, we choose going to Seychelles, was more expensive but no regrets. Is one of the magical places on Earth, it really is. Africa is magical, cheers from Brazil
@@markriobr it's been a long time since you been there. I hope opportunity grants itself to you for another visit.
❤ you guys are a beautiful couple I really enjoyed that now I want to go get my heritage for myself
Thank you!
Gimme dat DNA...Love the video and you guys content!
Appreciate you riding with us for so long.
Thank yall for sharing 🙂
Wonderful video! The Kenyan part of your ancestries caught me by surprise but heck, welcome to your Kenyan side! 😀
Caught us by surprise too!!! Can't wait to get out there.
The slave trade occurred in not only West Africa, but also in Central and East Africa. Central and East Africa was primarily Arab slave traders.
@@brianwesley28 I knew about the other slave trades. It's just that with African Americans, their African ancestry tends to usually be West Africa. East African slaves tended to go to Asia.
@@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?
@@brianwesley28the Portuguese also brought slaves from east Africa to the American continent
I took the DNA test through Ancestry last year. I also have hair that gets red in the sun. I got that from my dad. Results are 21% Nigerian; 21% Cameroon, Congo & Western Bantu peoples; 18% Ivory Coast; 13% Scotland. My dad also used Ancestry and he's 21% Scotland. Cameroon, Ghana, and Scotland are on my list of places to travel to in the near future, as well as Nigeria and Senegal in the not so distant future. I really enjoy uour channel as well as this video, and will love following you both in your travels!
Thank you for sharing my African and Scottish fam! We hope to keep it interesting and informative! Blessings to you and yours!
After doing Ancestry or 23 and Me, try doing My Living DNA. They are UK based and unlike the US ones that trace it back to a country, My Living DNA traces it back to your tribe!
You can use the same data from Ancestry and 23 and Me and send it to them!
I’m so jealous of the Scottish. I looovvvee Scotland. Just bought my dna kit, praying to hod for at least 8% scottish
Royal blood. Keep researching and chase more innerstanding of the scottish...it may not be what you think? Also your surname will help you make some connections.
This all sounds amazing, especially researching after finding out results like I did with my 15% British Isles and pin point it to Scotland but before settled by them, the African Pigme people populated the island first, I watch in a documentary study, founded and the were relocated and others were sold or extermination. 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.
Keep up the good work 👍🏾
Thank you!
Wow amazing results ❤
Give me my DNA!!! Congratulations Yarbros for your heritage findings, hope you can visit and research your ancient cultures,
Thanks! We plan to!
I'm from the dutch Caribbean and I was also excited to find out about my heritage, I was really surprised. 29.4% Nigerian, 23.7% Scandinavian, 11% south amerika ,9.7 Italian, 4.7% irish scotish and welsh, and also middele east and west Asia . The Scandinavian part blew my mind, I knew that my family on my mother side were from the netherlands and Carribbean and father side Venezuelan and Caribbean. that is all I knew. I want to travel to Nigeria for sure.
Exciting work, thanks for sharing with us! I hope your trip is rewarding!
Open your eyes while coming down here though😁 Lagos metropolitan city is the place to be if you can handle chaos🇳🇬
We are expecting you in Nigeria soonest
Well, Sweden had a small part in the slave trade but it ended fast. Going further back, the bronze age, there was a lot of germanic tribes interacting with each others and it is known that the south of Scandinavia (Sweden) was interacting with tribes in the area wich is now Germany and Netherland area - trade, marriage and so on. But it is quite an amount of percent there...interesting.
@@Passioakka My grandfather came from Blekinge.
Interesting right I had to look back at my 23 and me. Thank you for sharing. Stay blessed.
African ancestry should sponsor a video. You both do a great job.
Thank you &🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
I was going to get a DNA kit for myself in the new year. Now you guys have inspired me even more. How exciting.
Glad we could inspire!
Watching this video makes us Black-Africans very emotional and happy considering the fact that we have many Black-Brothers and Black-Sisters in Diaspora.Indeed,true history never die !
Wow. Makes me want to do one. Thanks for sharing the results with us
Thanks for watching!
Well I am happy that you finally find out who and where you’re from.
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.
Cool, thanks for sharing!
Yes all of that don’t matter these Days we are Black Americans today we have no family in Africa United states is our land we Are FBA
@@rodneyrainey2021yessir💯💯
@rodneyrainey2021 True for you for now. Many American Chinese, or Indians etc do not have families in their countries, but they identify with their countries of origin. Not to worry, when Africa become powerful and recognised, you will then want to identify with Africa. It's only natural.
@@rodneyrainey2021Some African American and Carribbean vloggers who have done these tests have matched with living relatives in West Africa. A couple have gone and met them.
Our ancestors appear to have been much more mobile than we ever imagined .
Everywhere!

Beautiful thing is that we are all breathing but it is nice...very nice to know a little history of myself when I never thought I would.
You know what really convinced me? Going. Everyone looks like a relative. It feels familiar. People make similar facial expressions and hand motions.
They like similar foods. They're late like us. They're intelligent . Its amazing that even though its foreign it somehow isn't. I've traveled all over the world and haven't had rhat feeling anywhere else.
Really looking fwd to it.

It will free you too. You'll see what it's like when WP don't matter and there no social safety net. People hustle. People feel empowered.

I took a 23andMe test. Going into it, I knew my mom was from Puerto Rico, and my father was from Sicily. I thought I’d be half-and-half European and maybe some Spanish and indigenous Taino. Some of my results included a 15% mix ranging from Nigerian, West African, Senegambian, Guinean, Ghanaian, Congolese and a few others I can’t remember off the top of my head. I love all of these DNA and heritage tests, I’ve taken a couple others to compare. Very interesting on your results.❤
Thanks for sharing!
Spanish is european what you talking about ?
@@ericnights6406 that is correct. I was elaborating on the type of results I expected from Europe. There are a variety of European countries. I expected Spain. I expected indigenous Taino from Puerto Rico. I also expected Italy, more specifically Sicily. Wouldn’t want to throw those in the same sentence to have you tell me that Sicily is a part of Italy next😭😂 My apologies if that wasn’t made clear?🙃
Most Puerto Ricans are a mixture of 64% European(probably mostly Spanish) 21% African , 15% Native Taino, that degenerate Christopher Columbus and his brothers nearly wiped the Tainos out.
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.
My DNA is amazing the different mix of ethnicity is mind boggling.
Hello, very entertaining and informative video. Will you both also take tests from other companies just to confirm?

This was a great video and very interesting. Since I have zero knowledge of my lineage this would be very exciting for me to do and at least get a glimpse of who I am. Fingers crossed !
Gotcha and Heyyy! 😊
Give me my DNA. Great Video 📹
Gimme my DNA! And I see you all are back home for a bit...yall been on the road for a good while since I first subbed your channel a few years ago. Get some rest, enjoy the fam and see you back on the road soon!
For sure! Appreciate the understanding and we we got you!
I love yall. I'm first families Virginian . I'll not go into the family funk, but my curls n coloring definitely wasn't appreciated. I lived in Egypt and Morocco and found out about my north African heritage. I'm a Hamilton so the Scottish in me is fierce! I'm quite hybrid though. Yall may want to check out the Black royalty of Scotland. Happy travels fair winds and blessings to yall ❤❤❤
Okay what up fam. I will definitely look into Scotland's black royalty!
Possibilities with DNA are so broad. We are 1 person with 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, 16 great-great-grandparents, 32x3 great, 64x4 great, 128x5 great...and so on great grandparents. The possibilities are amazing.
Yes indeed!
Great reason to realize your not african
Wow is all I can say. I wish there was a test to see what star system I came from too. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! I did My Heritage over a year ago it was very interesting so I found another one on ancestry Dna the % were a little different some areas showed up that wasnt on My heritage? Ancestry is a larger database of participants so that could be the reason.
I came up 62% West African, 37% European, 1% Native Am. 🎉- Still Proud Black American✊🏽
Facts brothah!
Well you're not black you're mixed
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.
Yup! That sounds about right!
“Give me my DNA” Great video !! ademas ya mande a buscar mi paquete. A Bro from Puerto Rico.
Thanks for watching!
GIMME MY DNA; GUYS! I´m a long-tme follower. Love your content!
Gotcha! Thanks for rocking w/ us for so long!
I did my DNA but I already knew most of it. I’m first generation American I’m 95% English & Irish (Mom and all her family born in England) (Dad and his family all born in Ireland) plus 2% French, which I knew. It was the 3% Scandinavian that threw us for a loop. Then I thought ok that’s why my family is tall, blond and all have blue eyes. It was very interesting to find this out. I only knew 1 grandfather (my mom’s Dad) and my Irish grandmother (my Dads Mom). Never met my mom’s mother or my father’s Dad. They had passed away years before I was born. I know my uncle (mom’s brother) traced our family back to 1066.
Wow! I'm shocked at the percentages of Kenyan for both of you. I don't often see that much East African in Black Americans. As a Black American who has met two great-great grandmothers, I never feel like I don't know where I came from because our history and rich culture is centuries old in this country; however, ancient ancestry can be very intriguing too. I look forward to the two of you visiting Nigeria.
I wish we were able to glean more from our family. One side is researching the genealogy. Can’t wait to see where it leads.
I have east and North Africa in addition to the west and Central African in my dna test results.
@slarvadain188 My question is how do you really know ? Africa was not even Africa it just consists of Tribes and kingdoms back then. And due to the breeding farms it was numerous tribes and black native americans in those breeding farms also most black Americans have irish amd European DNA due to the r@pe on the plantations.
Yea I was gonna say Y'all look east african
@TruthSerum101
I'm sorry to burst your bubble
but I'd bet that most of we AA's
have Bantu Luhya Kenyan
deep set ancestry?
Gimme my DNA. This is a great video
👌🏾
& Thank you 😁
Gimme that DNA!!! Really enjoyed this video. Definitely piqued my interest!
Gotcha! 👌🏾
People were in the US before it was the US.
More were shipped here after it became the US.
Some and only one my great grandmother whose mother was full Native. It was written about those ‘Ancestors who were scattered to the four corners of the world’. Research that.
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.
You do that 50/50 thing ain’t true right ? Boys get more from mom and firmed get more from dad
Right. Glad to at least have a direction to pursue. Looking forward to diving deeper.
@@JasonusTillery you get 50% of your dna from both your mother and father no matter what sex you are. If you only got dna from one sex, based on what sex you are, you’d only have half the chromosomes you need to survive. We get 23 chromosomes from our mother and 23 from our father for a total of 46 chromosomes.
@@JasonusTillery actually we do get half from each parent. The only difference is that the Y chromosome is passed from father to son but that’s not a large part of your DNA. So we really are about half of each parents DNA. You get 50 percent from mom and 50 percent of dad to make 100 percent of you.
don't waste ur money. They only look at your haplo and base your origins off of less than 1% of your total DNA
Peace Yarbros fam , I'm not sure about My Heritage but 23 and me used to run the DNA and the found anyone who was related to you from some of your countries they could link you up
Peace fam, thanks for the run down. We are looking into connecting with some of the bloodline!
You have very beautiful hair sis
Done these tests 3 times and got 3 different results. Husband did the same and all 3 different. All 3 tests were different companies. I don't trust these tests any longer.
Why didn't they like your comment 🤔
I don't get how anyone could trust the powers that be whose ancestors took your identity to now give it to you. I just can't believe these people don't get paid to advertise for these businesses
Welcome sis
Welcome home sis
Thanks for the info, "now give me my DNA"
😁 we did the drawing yesterday. We'll be doing another one soon.
The African Ancestry test will narrow the ethnicity to a tribe or a specific people group!
Yes, we're trying to work with them....so far no returned calls or emails 🤞🏾
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.
You were able to really dig in. Thanks for sharing! We’re learning a lot from the comments alone.
Its a bit peculiar than these DNA tests can trace Asiatic ancestry by way of Native American DNA, but they dont connect ALL Black African ancestry back to East Africa where life began?? 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
@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. 😒
Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa etc are not tribes
They are ethnicities, inside of each ethnicities, you'll get tribes ( that's where the various dialects of each ethnicities lies from,
From tribes , you'll get clans
And from clans , you'll get villages, from villages, you'll get kindreds and pinpoint the exact family or kitchen you come from
You can speak, Igbo/yoruba but each tribes in the ethnicities have their own dialect
So please understand that
Igbo as well actually
Gimme my DNA!!! ❤😊
I love all that DNA tests have helped us to learn. I’ve taken several DNA tests and have been able to learn several African ethnic groups I descend from across west and west central Africa. I really like Ancestry and 23andme and have uploaded to MyHeritage as well. There is also an opportunity to expand your family tree. The Asian on this test might indicate Native/Indigenous American.
Technology is amazing! So much we have yet to learn
@@TheYarbros Absolutely!
FYI all melanated people have red hair if you stand in the sun you will see that our hair is reddish and that is found throughout all of Africa is a misconception that if your hair is red is that that comes from Europeans know if you actually look at Africans and African hair when they're standing in the sun you will see that it's reddish brown we don't have black hair we have reddish brown hair that doesn't identify any European in your system is just identifies that you come from West Africa or Africa because the majority of the Africans over there have reddish brown hair you can't tell unless you're standing in the Sun or in a light and you would definitely see that your hair is reddish brown
Now will you do a DNA test African ancestry as I said only deal with African DNA but some people DNA tests came back European the reason why your DNA test will come back European is because that means that you had native Aborigines in your bloodline it doesn't mean that you have Caucasian in your bloodline because Caucasians are not original Europeans Caucasians migrated to Europe and eventually they whitewashed out majority of the Aborigines some people DNA test from African ancestry came up Spain and Portugal well if you know about the Jews the black Jews of Portugal you will know that in Spain and in Portugal there were black Jews there and they also migrated some of them migrated to Europe before Portugal sent them to the island of Saint Thomas and then to West Africa so if your DNA comes up with European DNA and only means that your ancestors were indigenous to Europe mini melanated DNA if it was a come up as Caucasian then it would say Irish Scottish or one of those Caucasian Bloodlines that now reside in Europe but when it comes up European it means their Aborigines the original melanated people of Europe because Europe was once all black so I want people to understand this you have to understand that the word European doesn't come from Caucasian people Caucasian people did not even speak English a lot of the names like Johnson and Smith you may think is Caucasian names but it's not you have to do research you have to really study and you will find out things that you have never known and you going to find out things that you thought was one way and found out it's another by doing research because a lot of things have been contributed to the Caucasians and it don't come from them this is one of the things that the Russian Prime Minister Putin has been telling about the kings and queens of Europe that were black black people were in Europe way before white folks way before caucasians Caucasians came and took over whitewashed majority of them out and came and took slaves from Africa to work but at one time all of your was predominantly black this is historical archaeological and DNA evidence to prove this so if you did it pop up with European it means that your ancestors that popped up in your DNA as European were melanated Aborigines Native Indians black marinated Indians
Ancestry 6yrs ago said no Indian sister did genealogy search grand mom side-Choctaw-great grandmother dad side-black Cherokee
Congratulations on getting your awesome results. Even though I don't like classifying people by "race", I think it is important to know your roots. It enriches your life. As an adoptee, finding out I was mainly Dutch, then travelling to Europe and seeing people I'm related to was almost overwhelming. DNA also showed me that all people are related, and there is no "race". We all have to treat each other with kindness. Peace
Agreed! Race is a social construct invented by Europeans to try and benefit Europeans. It's ok though. The DNA is more about ethnicity & history to me.
@@TheYarbros how much European history do African Americans actually know about ?? besides what you were taught by the american education system ?? have you ever visited Europe ??
@@jonpark5203Why are you being belligerent towards African-Americans? Its very misplaced.
@@sokopicYou are praising a man who said that apes are more capable and intelligent than Zanj(blacks)? Smh. I will never understand why you guys have such a hatred towards Black people. Its remedial really.
@@sokopicActually, the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology did suggest that the Hofmeyr skull is morphologically distinct from the population of indigenous Africans and that it instead has a "close affinity" with Paleolithic skulls from Europe. As of today, however, no insitute has come up with a definitive conclusion for ancient DNA analysis for those skulls. All current interpretations are only an educated hypothesis. Meaning that the Max Planck Institute nor any other Anthropological Institute were able to efficiently classify what population that skull had actually belonged to.
It seems these DNA tests are not always correct. Even me a full Ghanaian did my DNA test and had 36 Nigerian, some percentages of Sierra Leone, Middle East, Tunisia, western Asia. Not even one percent of Ghana. So does that mean I'm not a Ghanaian? Another lady from Ghana complained of the same problem. Seems the companies don't have Ghanaian DNA or they classify all West Africans as Nigerians.
Thats interesting. It answered a lot of questions I had about my past....the red hair, my grandparents stories so as far as I am concerned. This thing is first better than nothing and 2nd pretty accurate..in my estimation.
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.
@@ayankunleakanbi1650 You've given @inno3912 a very elaborate answer to his misgivings about the test.
The summary is that all West Africans are Nigerians or probably classified as Nigerians.
Most Ghanaians that were tooken are in the carribbean Jamaica, Suriname, Trinidad to name a few and many of the countries in the Caribbean have heavy Ghanaian cultural roots
Nice 😊❤
Thank you! Cheers!
So happy for you guys to do your test. My dad did several tests and my sisters also did Tests. I.
Had wanted to do a test, but they told me.Oh your test would be just like.
For Christmas, my sister got me one and it was crazy.What the difference between my two biological sisters and my biological father and me were. Enjoy the adventure
I did mine I mine came back 52% from Mexico region. I was surprised to see I have Japanese and Korean. African was somewhat expected, It's the reason I did the DNA becuase we have family memebers with black features but it was great to see it pointed specifically to Negeria. It confirmed what I feel that we are all somehow connected.
Love the information you can find with the DNA test. What a cultural mix! Definitely believe we’re all connected.
Mexico region 😂
Knowledge is power, DNA 🧬 is genetic and hereditary. 🌍🌍
I just came across your Channel. New subscriber.!
Thanks for both of you sharing your African roots !
Every Tree 🌳 has its deep roots. l’m profoundly happy for both of you🎉
Fun fact:
Jollof Rice is a very interesting subject in West Africa.
Without saying much more ask about Jollof Rice!
I would like to read your feedback.
Be Blessed!
Thank you for subscribing. Jollof rice is a diaspora food all of us have a version we work. Can't wait to dive into the originals. Thanks for keeping up with us!
Two questions- 1- how much is the kit? and 2- is there an option for only a one time payment and still get all the DNA results?
The kit is usually $89 they're running a special for $36 now...but they always running a special. I don't believe you have to subscribe to any of their family tree subscriptions.
@@TheYarbrosyes the paper genealogy hints are separate and on subscription.
I really need to do one of these I've been curious before and was going to go with 23andme.
I did mine, and I'm whiter than white, at 92% Irish & English, plus another 5% Northern European, and 1% Italian.
However, I did get 0.5% North African and 0.5% Gambia/Senegal, so technically that does make me African-American too.
lol😆
You ain't that white.
Literally every human being has this ancestor from east Africa...
I understand what you're saying but no, the ethnicities don't reveal that in the test results for most ppl. Inexact science on both accounts. #man
@@TheYarbros I'm Serbian on my dads side so most of my ancestry was as expected, mixture of Balkanic, Dinaric and Slavic DNA but I also have 2% east African(south Sudan). I would really like to do mtDNA now because my mom is Romani-Gipsy from eastern Europe... And yeah, I'm so white Gypsy jaws drop when I start speaking their language.
It's said All human beings migrated from Alkebulan/African.
On another note your grey hair is gorgeous!!! 😍
Part of my history is in Ghana, my grandmother and great uncle on my father’s side came from there. On my mother’s side my great grandmother was full blood Blackfeet.
Thanks guys for your results. Have you considered taking the "African Ancestry", it will give the ethinic group or nation (tribe). I was actually shocked how you peoples, your relatives who look like you, and the common traits.
Yes, we considered their analysis.
