It is actually accurate. I took the test and my results are pretty bang on. My aunt and my cousins from both sides took the test and we not only match, our results are remarkably similar. Ancestry DNA and 23andme are very accurate. Btw: I am Ghanaian and here are my results from ANCESTRY DNA Ivory Coast / Ghana =73% Benin/ Togo= 24% Europe = 3% I am from the Coast of Ghana
Hello this is Michael I took my DNA test somebody help me on my family tree what I need to do I never met my biological mother and father born Osborne Spartanburg South Carolina Hawthorne 1979 not trying to find out what happened to cousin trying to find out if I have any brothers or sisters said Uncle and nieces😊😊
Nigeria, Cameroon/Kongo regions is where the most Afrikan slaves were taken from. That's why Afrikan americans have this DNA. The reason for Nigeria east is because that part was divided into three different parts. That region had the third, fourth, and fifth largest indigenous ethnic groups including igbo, Ibibio, and ijaw. The capital in that area was Calabar and the Igbo people formed the majority of enslaved Afrikans which were sold as slaves from Calabar. It's highly possible that you're Igbo. Good video
I figured I am Igbo out of the 84% African I am 60% Nigerian. I also have some Congo and Cameroon. Also my family is from Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. That is where a lot of Igbo enslaved were taken.
You have Cherokee so do I, mine has been authenticated through dna matches. Where are your ancestors originally from? The Cherokee's have been mixing since colonial periods with African slaves and European colonists, and yes different tests companies give different results, I tested with four different companies all have different results.
DNA test are nothing more than artwork 🎨. I have up to a 20 point swing from 23&me/ancestry to GEDMATCH. 23&Me shows my French and its #1 in my timeline. Ancestry shows no French yet has 10+ generations of it going back to Montpellier, France in my tree. Accurate test I think NOT
That’s great for you! I would like to visit Ghana someday. I believe that the biggest argument against DNA tests has to do with ancestry ones. When some ppl take those kinds of tests, and receive their results, they find the percentages are different between the tests. For instance, if I take 23andMe. I may identify 15% Nigerian while AncestryDNA may say 21% Nigerian. Many will look at this and jump to conclusions that the tests are inaccurate. My point is whether the genetic makeup is 15% or 21% what matters is that my genes are mostly passed down from Nigerian ancestors. My correction for saying they may be completely different. They are not “completely different.” The general genetic information is still the same.
Darling, wtih much respect.... That's kinda the same common story of the Great Great grandmother passes down about their native ancestry. Thats a RED flag, again because it's the most common story that is shared. "The native background is alot easier to say than to admit to having european ancestry...." Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. Watch his videos....
I'm from Puerto Rico and I got 25% Spain, 23% Indigenous Puerto Rico and 22% Portugal. Also maternal haplogroup is A2 which has been associated with the indigenous populations of the Americas. I will not claim an ancestor of full native origin because I have not found one in my genealogical investigation and I like to support my family tree with factual information.
@@marvinortiz9984 Unless you find records from the early 1500's you're probably not going to find that Indigenous ancestor, many Mexicans and central Americans has that problem, the Europeans kept good records especially church baptism records the Natives didn't.
Yes those are the fraud results most the companies will give. The thing MOST are not taking into consideration is that fact MIXED race (MULATTO/MGM) are being tossed in. True AA is closer to 87% african with barley even 10% European. Think about it. If the average AA is 75% wouldn't that make your parents or grandparents BI RACIAL? Slavey ended in 1865. That's more than 6 generations ago and it's no guarantee you gg mother was raped that exact year. If you did the math, a mulatto with 50% European marrying 100% black non stop until now would be something like 98% black because they would lose half of that European every generation
@@VAY_NEE_AH I am double Cherokee on my mother's father's side going to great great grandparents and Blackfeet on my mother's mother's side also Choctaw on my daddy's mother's line. My family is mixed with black and native for generations.
@@VAY_NEE_AH The Bantu ppl left Cameroon & created a new kingdom called Ndongo (now renamed ANgola) & that’s where they was taken from, Luanda, ANgola. The Angolan/Congo ppl are deleted from USA history books. They lived in kingdom of Ndongo, but it was super rich with oil and gold. Portugal invaded but instead of fighting fair, just kidnapped ppl and dropped them off in Brazil & USA. Portugal took over Ndongo and renamed it ANgola. (Some peope from Congo had jumped in the fight to help & also got kidnapped) The Angolans and Congos enslaved in USA started plotting together & as a unit broke into 🔫 & weapons stores &. Started unaliving 🖐-ppl. So 🖐people got scared, stopped enslaving them immediately & started enslaving people from west Africa instead, because it’s less unity, the west Africans would fight each other before working together and fighting them. Google stono rebellion for an exampl
@@VAY_NEE_AH I wish I had a million dollars for every time I saw "Early Virginia African Americans" on here. I'd be set for life. It's unbeatable! Your genetic communities are basically your heritage, and those who have the closest group to your lineage. Thanks for sharing your results. It's a nice video.
@@VAY_NEE_AH If you had Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas African Americans community, it would be like looking at my paternal aunt's communities. You and I both have Early Virginia African Americans because that's basically the earliest ancestral home(Virginia, especially Tidewater) for us. As far as the separation of Nigerian and Nigerian-East Central, it's the sample populations from those specific places. The truth is that as Black Americans our African ethnicities are via how the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade is about and we're multi tribal because of that history but we're our own unique community due to this history.

Well we shall see. I’m going to take an African ancestry dna test to see which tribe. Thank you for watching. 🙏🏽

@@curlyque1985 that's true! Most likely you are
@@FreedomBiafra just spoke with my cousin this evening and yes DNA is from the Igbo tribe 🥰😍 Igbo Kwenuuuuuu 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
@@curlyque1985 Yes!!!!!!! 👍 this is beautiful. It is a feeling as though I received some good news myself. Igbo Kwenu!
My DNA test was accurate. I was just what I thought I was. I think for the most part they are accurate.

just return from Ghana
Nigeria East Central is most likely Igbo. The name of the Igbo state after the Nigerian Biafran war ended in 1970 was East Central state.
They won’t be “completely different” who ever said that dong know dna they will be slightly different in the percentages but still very similar
I did some more research on that. You’re right.
Do try African Ancestry to get your ethnicity.✨️

Well she shows her ancestors on her face and phenotype. Facial features do not lie
Gates is a sellout and a joke
Before I watch the video I am going to guess 75-80% African, 10-15% European and 1%-5% Indigenous Americas, 5% other
Yup 😂
Can you analyze my face? lol That was spot on!

for sure thought you were chinese/black. disappointed if you're not! love your look
Before I clicked on her pictures for the video , my first thought was blasian.
Yes some people think that.
@@VAY_NEE_AH I will put myself out there. What would you guess my percentages of races are from looking at me, oh you also favor apryl Jones to me.
@@cinnamonsunshine6331 I couldn’t guess your percentages but I think you have a lot of Southern Indian in your DNA

How long u waiting for the results
It said 4-6 weeks but my results only took about 3 weeks to arrive
you look native Indian like you though fa real
Yeah, we're known to have some lookers from here.
