Remember that a lot of African Countries share tribal origins since the borders were divided by colonialists without consideration for existing territories. It is likely that you descend from groups rather than 'countries'. You are naturally beautiful too.
Exactly my thoughts. The Cameroon, Congo and Southern bantus is probably mainly Kongo peoples and Mbundus from Angola. Congo-Angola regions suffered the most from slavery particularly the Kongo peoples as they were in 4 countries. (Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo and Gabon) Benin/Togo can be many different ethnic groups such as Fon, Ewe, Kabye, Aja , Yoruba etc.
Your results are fantastic and thank you for sharing them! It’s always wonderful for people of African ancestry to have these tests done. I’m from the North and South Carolina regions of the United States and my results were 95% African with predominant representations being Nigeria and Cameroon/Congo. It’s amazing how much so many of us have in common but we can go through life without realizing it. We truly are part of the African Diaspora.
Kay Shell Jennings lol it’s funny you say that because taking this test and doing further research definitely left me with a lot of questions. I’m excited to study our history a bit further & gain better knowledge about our ancestors.
This is an interesting coincidence that i ran into an Afro Guyanese vlogger days after watching former British Prime Minister attend the funeral of another Afro Guyanese who migrated to Africa.
Thought she would have a higher European,like 20% versus 6% , she looks more varied, then one has to remember that Africa is a continent with multi ethnic groups, countries, like Europe,that have their own distinction and looks , they aren't monolithic ..she has a pretty skin tone

Was just searching for history in Guyana, and then clicked on your video, very interesting and love your beauty and confidence and style. Also did you find any relatives. Really wish Ancestry had African branches too, so the research and connections could grow! Blessings from South Africa.
First I want to say you are a Beautiful Queen +Tonya Archer you have all that African blood I only have 88 percent lol. Thank you for sharing your results. We had some similar results I am 50% Cameroon, Congo 17% Togo-Benin 12% Mali and 6% Ghana/Ivory Coast. The pictures of the women you showed I think you have similar features.

This is interesting. Gonna think about trying it for sure. After growing up my whole life knowing my family is from Dominican decent ( amerindian and blacks) a few months ago I found out my grand father on father side was actually from French Guiana, migrated to Dominica at the age of 14. Makes me wonder now ( WHO am I really) 🙈 we are all family some way or the other when you think about it. Exciting and weird all together
Please note not all Congolese people look like that way. There are many ethnic groups in Congo. Please do an African Ancestry DNA maternal Haplogroup Test to really find out DNA.

The Congo that states,is Kongo as Tribe,and there are the only Tribes in Both Congo Brazzaville and Ba Kongo of DRC to be taken as slaves,there are the only tribe along The Atlantic Coast
@Ant Nam * Ant NAM iam hoping that you are not basing your openion on European study because it would only lead to tribalism.

WELL, THERE WERE JET-BLACK PEOPLES USED TO LIVED IN INDIA, SO YOU ARE A MIXED BREEDS, CHECK ANCIENT HISTORY
@@ananmai8700 Maybe she should just do a DNA test instead of paying any mind to your google education degree. There's a weird compulsion with India and "others' in the Caribbean know why? Because Indian people pass down their culture down and are proud of it. Hopefully with DNA testing African peoples can learn where they are from in Africa and learn about their cultures, (food, religion, language, music, dance and customs) because "Caribbean" is a pseudo culture, it has no history or ties other than slavery.
In Great Respect, I am a Guyanese also, Listen, de "DNA" was designed by a Racists Scientist, So, things he "INSTALLED in de DNA test, May not be certain, I knew every single Races practices Racisms. However, WHEN we were a Child we had Sickness, well, TRACES back that sickness to its Origin Countries. Every one say my Ancestors came from Africa, actually my Bloodlines came from East Asia which India, at a time, they were Jet-Black peoples living in India, until De Mongolian invaded de Blacks, Nowadays, Indian is both Black & Mongolian, Interracial. ALL de Entire Asia has Jet-Blacks/Mongolians Bloodlines, Actually those Indian is Mixed Races. Study our History this very Earth peoples is living here over 300 Billion years to Present, They also had two times icebergs covered this earth, Right now, there is still, Jet-Black Peoples living in India etc
In Great Respect you NEVER Ancient History, First, they had TWO Romans Empires, De Holy Empires & De Caucasian Romans Empires, De Holy Romans Empire was let by Jet-Black peoples I have "PROOF" Now De Mongolians Army INVADED "ITHIOPIA known had Jet-black Territories, NOW CALL ASIA, they had Famous City in ITHIOPIA called "Indies" de Mongolians deleted "ES" ADD "A" Became India, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, was once India, Gandhi, does not like de Dark-Skin Indian, So, he told de then British to separated, So, Pakistan was Created, So after Pakistan become Clear/Fair-Skin, they separate de dark-Skin peoples So, Bangladesh was created. I study Ancient History, a United Nation Official said, how come IRAN was not invaded by de Mongolians, I reply, said they is mixed breeds, Jet-Black & de Mongolians, WHEN he checked his research, he confirmed it is So. He started to Follow me on twitter. Now, India, of itself, have three separated section, Fair-Skin, Dark Skin Indian, & Jet-Black. Does YOU know that???????
@@ananmai8700 The arab slavers have been using black slaves since near biblical times, the amount was way more than the transatlantic slave trade. The descendants of these slaves in arab nations, India and Pakistan are called the "Zanj". India/pakistan was invaded by the Arabs the indian culture is proliferated with arab culture thats why we now have a pakistan- People in Pakistan were originally hindus Pakistan was once part of india they wanted their own muslim nation. So india was separated and pakistan was formed because the muslim arabs invaded india, and with them, they brought black slaves.
markutt 1764 thank you but we are supposed to be killing one another and hating one another for being a different race, and we are supposed to have starving people, so how can you say that? dont tell the truth or else MY beautyful home land will be in trouble.
I was born in the US, but my family is directly Afro-Guyanese while I am African American. Im trying to look more into my ancestry but am drawing a blank. I feel some Guyanese in my genes though! Any sudgesttions? Loved your video! 🥰
My beautiful African sister, you are an amazing woman, your uniqueness is what made you who you are. Accurate or not, Some Guyanese people hates Africans with passion and can never admit that there is a possibility that their bloodline may have actually originated from Africa. So for you to actually test yourself...more power to you, and I think you got Ghanaian and Togo looks. Congratulations
@@AllOfTheAbove0 We don't have that problem here in the UK. I've known many marriages to be between people from Africa and Guyanese heritage. Including a couple of my cousins who have been married to men from Nigeria for over forty years and have raised their children to appreciate both cultures
@@nubianqueen9675 You have to remember, though, the UK has become a melting pot of cultures, especially between west africans and carribeans, so in a lot of cases they've learned to embrace each other (at least the younger generations), but in the carribean there most likely isn't a strong African presence and the self hatred forced upon carribeans by way of colonialism has been allowed to thrive.
Congolese here, welcome to the family! You have the features of a Central African person or someone from South Eastern Nigeria. Just wanted to mention a little detail, the picture that you used of the Cameroonian lady is more probably that of a local Fulani. Fulanis don't look like most Cameroonians who are Bantus. Cameroonians would simply look like most people from Central Africa people including Congolese .
Well Tonya, all the African DNA combined to produce the most beautiful, most cerebral, most charming young lady in the world. Thank you, and thank you Mom.
Well based on Dna we have Phenotype_PHYSICAL LOOKS and Genotype_Genes. So we will only see your dominitate Phenotype-looks while you carry the hidden or recessive genes for all those countries. We are all mixed up. Keep up the good work Tonya.
Amazing. We basically have the same ancestry profile. Benin/Togo 47% Cameroon, Congo, & Southern Bantu Peoples 30% Ivory Coast/Ghana 15% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe 3% Ireland & Scotland 2% Mali 2% Native American-North, Central, South 1% I do feel a connection...;-)
It's amazing to see people discovering the diversity of their roots because it will make them see a fellow citizen as a possible distant relative, even if from a different ethnicity.
Kinda sucks because those of European descent can trace their lineages back hundreds upon hundreds of years and find individual ancestors and sometimes use that to find distant relatives living today, while those of us in the african diaspora and even those in Africa have to settle for entire cultures and countries with innacurate borders. Still glad to have African blood, though.
Yess Tonyaaa! Lolol your facial expression when they said 6% European (white) 😂😂😂😂 but its cool and i think its pretty accurate but i would have thought more of African mixed and a bit of Indian
It’s fascinating where all this leaves us , however I also think our original tongue( the Akan language family tree shines a bit more depth of how all Africans are connected besides all the biological facts and it’s proven to be vitally important getting into the etymological aspects of the search . connections to biblical stories in form of so called mythologies WEOURANCESTORS treasured before the Europeans came ( one of the reasons we accepted Christianity is because the stories were familiar ( they are actually versions of ours ). So African languages are super important and full of facts of who and what we are . The currency given to us by England in 1936 ( British west Africa ) is a also a big hint of our true origin as well. I’m a proud Guyanese besides being a prouder African . Thanks for ur share enjoy !
Get 23andMe and then upload it to GEDMatch.. AncestryDNA barely scratches the surface. I’m also Afro Guyanese with Filipino/Desi (Andamanese), Native American roots. I break down dna for African descendants :)
Thank you for sharing. Great presentation! You are a very attractive young woman as well. I haven't seen many Guyanese people taking the ancestry test. I am Hispanic from South America and also took the Ancestry test. We have something in common as 7% of my DNA comes from Cameroon, Congo and Southern Bantu People, of which I had no idea. So there you go, we could be long lost cousins?
@@TheKofinyarko she doesn't look Ghanaian.u look like your highest dna thats how it works .because it is more dominant.plus this lady doesn't look Ghanaian at all.she looks Congolese.which is her highest dna.
Before you start I see Ghana and Iberia haha. But also what do I know. Lets go! Edit: When you showed that pic of the girl from Cameroon my jaw dropped. Wow. Stunning
I did leave a comment on 1 of ur beautiful vlog, Ur very beautiful. Ur karma is WOW, its 1 reason I subscribed to you. U LOOK BANTU,WHICH OCCUPIES THE CONGO,,ALSO MEANS 'A PEOPLE' COVERS MOST OF AFRICA. I'm Kenyan in the States for long time. U got excellent content. Can't wait for next one.Guyana's so beautiful I see
The grouping of countries in ancestry dna is not accurate because the major tribe in Togo and Benin are ewe but there are more ewe people in Ghana than the two countries combined. Plus our culture is similar. Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo should be grouped together.
I just saw a video on Suriname with an African influencer he's in Guyana now I believe anyway the Africans in Suriname has a close tie and culture to Ghana so I believe Guyanese may have been sent from Ghana too. I'm so proud of how the Surinames have kept their culture going. I pray one day I can visit them.
That is why it is so important to know your ancestry, for it is not only your immediate parents who are responsible for your presence, but your ancesters also,Leviticus chap.26, versre40
You are an Aboriginal - Mayan Queen! Guyana is much older than Ghana! Let's never forget, South America and West Africa at one time was attached!!!! 🪶😎🪶🏹🏹🏹🏹
I think this is very important especially for people of African descent so they can understand where they are from. It gives blacks a sense of ethnic identity.The Caribbean blacks and American blacks were not allowed to practice their customs/ culture,language, religion, music so they are a somewhat disenfranchised group. Understanding where we are from, gives us a sense of pride of belonging to something larger than a pseudo-country that is only a couple hundred years old with a bunch of all different people in it.
yes but she is mixed race,so you cannot say she is of all african decent, or you can say lewis Hamilton is black, it like saying the white blood is is not there and I am pretending to be black when the reality is different
Ma dear am your brother from Ghana ,please come home ,this is where you belong .....I would be happy to host you or show you around Ghana ...Akwaaba(welcome) 😍
You should try LivingDNA. They can help you trace your African ethnicity within your African Ancestry. You will find out if you’re Igbo, Yoruba, Mende, Edo, Akan, Hausa, Fon, Kongo, etc.
As much as I am happy for you, I am quite skeptical about the genetic breakdown. I am looking into taking the test to find out about my ancestral background. Both of my parents are Guyanese. I wanted to get it thrown 23 and me.
What I would like to do is multiple ones from the different companies but I want to make sure they are not connected or use the same labs or something like that. I want to make sure they are completely independent and see if they come us with the same results. Even better if they use different testing methods. That would give a idea if the results are accurate. But so far it seems hard to find out those particular information.....
Her video is pretty accurate we are definitely from those countries between Ghana and Nigeria on the coast..After all our great slave leader cuffy was Ghanaian..it can be debated whether he is a hero as he had the Dutch surrounded in new Amsterdam, but failed to attack and was ultimately overthrown and killed by the by the slave next in line for the leadership of the revolt..As a bargaining chip having the Dutch under pressure cuffy demanded new Amsterdam become a soverign nation for the slaves going against the second in command and the majority of the slaves..The Dutch pretended to bargain and that gave the Dutch time to call in reinforcements ..different topic for another day.
I was born in guyana British west indies. My family was born in British Guiana (same country). My father's mother who recently passed away at the age of 98 had a dutch father and her mum was a badians living in Guyana. My mum's family was Indian Guyanese and some European. Guyana is made up of many different ethnic groups.
My nephew in law is from Kenya and when he went to Guyana he said he can look at the people and tell that most Guyanese are from Ghana. My mother had 25% Nigerian, 20% Ghana, 10% Cameroon, 5% Mail 20% South East Asia, 10% British Isles and Surprise 10% Finland/ Russian. The research is accurate. My grand dad has a Swedish name but the ancestry showed Finnish/Russian. If you look at the map Finland is next to Russia on the East and Sweden on the West. You have similar DNA to my mom.
Lol that picture doesn’t represent Cameroonians that look like a Fulani girl who are in many west African nations. Ethic groups like Tikar genetics pop up in African ancestry results.
I am also Afro - Guyanese, 1 question if u have limited info on your fathers side does that hinder your results ? Thx u for doing this video I’m always looking our representation out here on UA-cam, u r very pretty ! It’s my dream to build my home back in Guyana 🇬🇾🖤
just say you are Guyanese , if you are. if they persist just say you are mixed, then ask them you are supposed to be an americian so how come you got a german name? so where in Germany did they come from , ha ha ha this works both ways

@Bronxguyanese, you are correct. some Afro Guyanese are closely related to Afro Barbadians. Some of them are also related to Afro St Lucians. Some of them are also related to Afro Grenadian.
My mother always said the same about Barbados
Welcome home sister. Cameroon awaits you!
Hello, good results, friend. I'm from Argentina, 🇦🇷⚽️South America. I also took the DNA test. It came out for me.
💯south american 🌎
I am proud of my origins😊👋
I’m Guyanese too and I just did one of these and I’m so surprised by my results !!
IN WITH RESPECT TO, YOU IS A INDIAN YET, WELL, YOUR BLOODLINE COME FROM MONGOLIANS FIRST DE MONGOLIANS ARMY INVADED DE ENTIRE WORLD CHINA & JAPAN, THEIR ARE DE REAL MONGOLIANS, WHEN MONGOLIANS INVADED AMERICAS ASIA THEY ASSUMED DIFFERENT NAMES, INDIA WAS KNOWN ITHIOPIA, THEY HAVE A FAMOUS CITY IN ITHIOPIA NAME "INDIES"& THEY CHANGES THAT ITHIOPIA CALL IT INDIA. WELL, THERE WERE JET-BLACK PEOPLES USED TO LIVED IN INDIA, SO YOU ARE A MIXED BREEDS, CHECK ANCIENT HISTORY
@@ananmai8700 Maybe she should just do a DNA test instead of paying any mind to your google education degree. There's a weird compulsion with India and "others' in the Caribbean know why? Because Indian people pass down their culture down and are proud of it. Hopefully with DNA testing African peoples can learn where they are from in Africa and learn about their cultures, (food, religion, language, music, dance and customs) because "Caribbean" is a pseudo culture, it has no history or ties other than slavery.
In Great Respect, I am a Guyanese also, Listen, de "DNA" was designed by a Racists Scientist, So, things he "INSTALLED in de DNA test, May not be certain, I knew every single Races practices Racisms. However, WHEN we were a Child we had Sickness, well, TRACES back that sickness to its Origin Countries. Every one say my Ancestors came from Africa, actually my Bloodlines came from East Asia which India, at a time, they were Jet-Black peoples living in India, until De Mongolian invaded de Blacks, Nowadays, Indian is both Black & Mongolian, Interracial. ALL de Entire Asia has Jet-Blacks/Mongolians Bloodlines, Actually those Indian is Mixed Races. Study our History this very Earth peoples is living here over 300 Billion years to Present, They also had two times icebergs covered this earth, Right now, there is still, Jet-Black Peoples living in India etc
In Great Respect you NEVER Ancient History, First, they had TWO Romans Empires, De Holy Empires & De Caucasian Romans Empires, De Holy Romans Empire was let by Jet-Black peoples I have "PROOF" Now De Mongolians Army INVADED "ITHIOPIA known had Jet-black Territories, NOW CALL ASIA, they had Famous City in ITHIOPIA called "Indies" de Mongolians deleted "ES" ADD "A" Became India, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, was once India, Gandhi, does not like de Dark-Skin Indian, So, he told de then British to separated, So, Pakistan was Created, So after Pakistan become Clear/Fair-Skin, they separate de dark-Skin peoples So, Bangladesh was created. I study Ancient History, a United Nation Official said, how come IRAN was not invaded by de Mongolians, I reply, said they is mixed breeds, Jet-Black & de Mongolians, WHEN he checked his research, he confirmed it is So. He started to Follow me on twitter. Now, India, of itself, have three separated section, Fair-Skin, Dark Skin Indian, & Jet-Black. Does YOU know that???????
@@ananmai8700 The arab slavers have been using black slaves since near biblical times, the amount was way more than the transatlantic slave trade. The descendants of these slaves in arab nations, India and Pakistan are called the "Zanj". India/pakistan was invaded by the Arabs the indian culture is proliferated with arab culture thats why we now have a pakistan- People in Pakistan were originally hindus Pakistan was once part of india they wanted their own muslim nation. So india was separated and pakistan was formed because the muslim arabs invaded india, and with them, they brought black slaves.
I’ve visited quite a few countries around the world and by far the best is Guyana, beautiful country and people 💓
markutt 1764 thank you but we are supposed to be killing one another and hating one another for being a different race, and we are supposed to have starving people, so how can you say that? dont tell the truth or else MY beautyful home land will be in trouble.
Thanks for sharing this. My maternal grandmother was from Guyana and I've always wanted to visit. Cameroon was first on our ancestry list as well.
I was born in the US, but my family is directly Afro-Guyanese while I am African American. Im trying to look more into my ancestry but am drawing a blank. I feel some Guyanese in my genes though! Any sudgesttions? Loved your video! 🥰
Afro Guyanese would be mostly of West African descent too, same as African Americans.
Awesome!! I love this! I wanna take this test now!!! You are soo pretty! 😍
I'm Guyanese and I really appreciate this video. By the way you're beautiful
Thank you my fellow Guyanese ✨😊
My beautiful African sister, you are an amazing woman, your uniqueness is what made you who you are. Accurate or not, Some Guyanese people hates Africans with passion and can never admit that there is a possibility that their bloodline may have actually originated from Africa. So for you to actually test yourself...more power to you, and I think you got Ghanaian and Togo looks. Congratulations
Yes, I've noticed that many Guyanese people don't like to identify with Africans or even associate with them!
Thanks for the comment 😊
That could be because of indoctrination resulting in self hate. I know one who did not hate himself and that was Walter Rodney!!. RIP
Is there a reason why the black guyanese hate African people?
@@AllOfTheAbove0 We don't have that problem here in the UK. I've known many marriages to be between people from Africa and Guyanese heritage. Including a couple of my cousins who have been married to men from Nigeria for over forty years and have raised their children to appreciate both cultures
@@nubianqueen9675 You have to remember, though, the UK has become a melting pot of cultures, especially between west africans and carribeans, so in a lot of cases they've learned to embrace each other (at least the younger generations), but in the carribean there most likely isn't a strong African presence and the self hatred forced upon carribeans by way of colonialism has been allowed to thrive.
Congolese here, welcome to the family! You have the features of a Central African person or someone from South Eastern Nigeria. Just wanted to mention a little detail, the picture that you used of the Cameroonian lady is more probably that of a local Fulani. Fulanis don't look like most Cameroonians who are Bantus. Cameroonians would simply look like most people from Central Africa people including Congolese .
I am 42% Cameroon/Congo. My uncle got 48%. Time to start researching about the Central Africa lol
Yes! I have been doing so much research these past few days.
We are happy to have you
@@AllOfTheAbove0 I want you to marry me
Well Tonya, all the African DNA combined to produce the most beautiful, most cerebral, most charming young lady in the world. Thank you, and thank you Mom.
Keith Haynes Thanks for the warm comment 🧡💛
You are a beautiful African Queen.
Wow ... I’m not Tonya, but that was beautifully stated 💯🌹🌹
Well based on Dna we have Phenotype_PHYSICAL LOOKS and Genotype_Genes. So we will only see your dominitate Phenotype-looks while you carry the hidden or recessive genes for all those countries. We are all mixed up. Keep up the good work Tonya.
Gracetochange:
A country don't have genes.
@Delite no. It just means you share dna with people who lived in the area where those present countries lie today
Amazing. We basically have the same ancestry profile.
Benin/Togo
47%
Cameroon, Congo, & Southern Bantu Peoples
30%
Ivory Coast/Ghana
15%
England, Wales & Northwestern Europe
3%
Ireland & Scotland
2%
Mali
2%
Native American-North, Central, South
1%
I do feel a connection...;-)
Amos Coats haha cool!
Im Guyanese and just came back from Ghana. I literally felt 'home'
I also went to Cape Coast .. ELMINA... everyone ... as God is my witness.. resembles my family🙏🏿🙏🏿
It's amazing to see people discovering the diversity of their roots because it will make them see a fellow citizen as a possible distant relative, even if from a different ethnicity.
Kinda sucks because those of European descent can trace their lineages back hundreds upon hundreds of years and find individual ancestors and sometimes use that to find distant relatives living today, while those of us in the african diaspora and even those in Africa have to settle for entire cultures and countries with innacurate borders. Still glad to have African blood, though.
@@DsgSleazy In the future, technology will surely solve this problem.
Tonya u are guyanese dozen matter I love my guyanese people ok, love you.❤❤
Yess Tonyaaa! Lolol your facial expression when they said 6% European (white) 😂😂😂😂 but its cool and i think its pretty accurate but i would have thought more of African mixed and a bit of Indian
very close to my dna results...I love it! I think you definitely look like what your dna read.
Momsluvs interesting how the results were similar to yours but you look nothing like her... DNA tests are a hoax... trust me
@@crestorize1631 My results were similiar to hers and my family does look like her
You look soo much of Cameroon and Congo put together especially the jawline of Congo❤️Very Beautiful ❤️
It’s fascinating where all this leaves us , however I also think our original tongue( the Akan language family tree shines a bit more depth of how all Africans are connected besides all the biological facts and it’s proven to be vitally important getting into the etymological aspects of the search . connections to biblical stories in form of so called mythologies WEOURANCESTORS treasured before the Europeans came ( one of the reasons we accepted Christianity is because the stories were familiar ( they are actually versions of ours ). So African languages are super important and full of facts of who and what we are . The currency given to us by England in 1936 ( British west Africa ) is a also a big hint of our true origin as well. I’m a proud Guyanese besides being a prouder African . Thanks for ur share enjoy !
Aaawwww!🥰 You’re 92% African!✊🏾🌍🛖🪮
Your results were almost exactly the same as mine, welcome home sista!!!!!
Same results here. With all the mixing over the centuries I'm glad God left the melanin alone. Black, proud and beautiful.
Girl all that makes you 💯% gorgeousness. Guyanese all the way. I should get mine done Too.
Get 23andMe and then upload it to GEDMatch.. AncestryDNA barely scratches the surface. I’m also Afro Guyanese with Filipino/Desi (Andamanese), Native American roots. I break down dna for African descendants :)
Thank you for sharing. Great presentation! You are a very attractive young woman as well. I haven't seen many Guyanese people taking the ancestry test. I am Hispanic from South America and also took the Ancestry test. We have something in common as 7% of my DNA comes from Cameroon, Congo and Southern Bantu People, of which I had no idea. So there you go, we could be long lost cousins?
Good research. Thanks for sharing. Very knowledgeable
Good job Lady Tonya. u really look Ghanaian with ur elegant look anyway Ghana / Ivory Coast same Akan people
Yep. She looks very Akan
she doesn't look Ghanaian at all she looks Congolese
@@TheKofinyarko u and i know that Ghanaian women don't look like her.she looks Congolese
@@gloriasimon697 Lol, my mother, sister and extended female family members are Ghanaian, so I pretty much should know what a Ghanaian woman look like
@@TheKofinyarko she doesn't look Ghanaian.u look like your highest dna thats how it works .because it is more dominant.plus this lady doesn't look Ghanaian at all.she looks Congolese.which is her highest dna.
Before you start I see Ghana and Iberia haha. But also what do I know. Lets go!
Edit: When you showed that pic of the girl from Cameroon my jaw dropped. Wow. Stunning
she doesn't look Ghanaian at all .she looks Congolese
big up im a proud Guyanese
I was right on - I said to myself Central Africa will be your most dominant. You are very beautiful.
I did leave a comment on 1 of ur beautiful vlog, Ur very beautiful. Ur karma is WOW, its 1 reason I subscribed to you.
U LOOK BANTU,WHICH OCCUPIES THE CONGO,,ALSO MEANS 'A PEOPLE' COVERS MOST OF AFRICA. I'm Kenyan in the States for long time.
U got excellent content. Can't wait for next one.Guyana's so beautiful I see
The grouping of countries in ancestry dna is not accurate because the major tribe in Togo and Benin are ewe but there are more ewe people in Ghana than the two countries combined. Plus our culture is similar. Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo should be grouped together.
I agree....
Also, Nigeria and Ghana dna are almost the same.
@@Adwoael Lol. You crossed ivory coast, Togo, Benin to Nigerian?? Why?? What's your prove?? Ghanaians and Ivorians are mostly from Mali etc.
I just saw a video on Suriname with an African influencer he's in Guyana now I believe anyway the Africans in Suriname has a close tie and culture to Ghana so I believe Guyanese may have been sent from Ghana too. I'm so proud of how the Surinames have kept their culture going. I pray one day I can visit them.
I am African American. With the exception of your Philippines result, we have very similar results.
That is why it is so important to know your ancestry, for it is not only your immediate parents who are responsible for your presence, but your ancesters also,Leviticus chap.26, versre40
You are beautifully beautiful, more like an Ewe queen (the Ewes occupy Eastern Ghana, Togo, Benin and South-western Nigeria)
I'm not sure if you're aware of African Ancestry. It's a company that will tell you exactly what tribe you are from.
You are an Aboriginal - Mayan Queen!
Guyana is much older than Ghana!
Let's never forget, South America and
West Africa at one time was attached!!!!
🪶😎🪶🏹🏹🏹🏹
Well done T!
Why would the European ancestry shock you? Colonialism & slavery. It makes sense. The Philippines was shocking to me.
Tonya Acher your surname Archer is a surname in coastal Ghana specifically fante tribe of Cape coast, Elmina and Axim in the western Region of Ghana
I think this is very important especially for people of African descent so they can understand where they are from. It gives blacks a sense of ethnic identity.The Caribbean blacks and American blacks were not allowed to practice their customs/ culture,language, religion, music so they are a somewhat disenfranchised group. Understanding where we are from, gives us a sense of pride of belonging to something larger than a pseudo-country that is only a couple hundred years old with a bunch of all different people in it.
yes but she is mixed race,so you cannot say she is of all african decent, or you can say lewis Hamilton is black, it like saying the white blood is is not there and I am pretending to be black when the reality is different
I am Guyanese too 🇬🇾 mixed with Chinese 🇨🇳and Irish 🇮🇪.
Good job keep up the good works love it
Ran into this video by accident looking up black archers of Nubia I must say your Beauty is on point
Ma dear am your brother from Ghana ,please come home ,this is where you belong .....I would be happy to host you or show you around Ghana ...Akwaaba(welcome) 😍
Thanks for this. Signed Guyanese girl.
Jay Jayyy:
Are you thanking her for just listing counties because she haven't listed a race in this video??
You should try LivingDNA. They can help you trace your African ethnicity within your African Ancestry. You will find out if you’re Igbo, Yoruba, Mende, Edo, Akan, Hausa, Fon, Kongo, etc.
As much as I am happy for you, I am quite skeptical about the genetic breakdown. I am looking into taking the test to find out about my ancestral background. Both of my parents are Guyanese. I wanted to get it thrown 23 and me.
Anikenskiwalker yes you want to be pure black, so you can say I dont like whites eh? Are you living abroad? so you not as Africian as you think eh?
100 % lovely!
Your welcome to ÁFRICA just llike every one.
Greetings from Ghana to you all Guyanians including all the Caribians.
What I would like to do is multiple ones from the different companies but I want to make sure they are not connected or use the same labs or something like that. I want to make sure they are completely independent and see if they come us with the same results. Even better if they use different testing methods. That would give a idea if the results are accurate. But so far it seems hard to find out those particular information.....
Do it anonymous
Her video is pretty accurate we are definitely from those countries between Ghana and Nigeria on the coast..After all our great slave leader cuffy was Ghanaian..it can be debated whether he is a hero as he had the Dutch surrounded in new Amsterdam, but failed to attack and was ultimately overthrown and killed by the by the slave next in line for the leadership of the revolt..As a bargaining chip having the Dutch under pressure cuffy demanded new Amsterdam become a soverign nation for the slaves going against the second in command and the majority of the slaves..The Dutch pretended to bargain and that gave the Dutch time to call in reinforcements ..different topic for another day.
@@thebridge5483 good idea
hay travel mangomedia, dont care how many companys you try you will find half of you blood is european, ha ha ha, so you cannot be a blackman ok.
I’ll still welcome you as honorary Nigerian sha
My Queen, my gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
Guyanese here - Mainly from Ghana, Mali, Congo and Nigeria.
The clusters, markers, haplogroups, highlights, chromosomes, or and showings are pretty accurate and a good reflection and not deflection
I was born in guyana British west indies. My family was born in British Guiana (same country). My father's mother who recently passed away at the age of 98 had a dutch father and her mum was a badians living in Guyana. My mum's family was Indian Guyanese and some European. Guyana is made up of many different ethnic groups.
You’re gorgeous and I thought your second mix would have been easy Indian
There are 2 Congo in Africa, how do you know which one they were referring to? But I’m sure you got it right.
Black women look so beautiful with natural hair 😍
(In my opinion)
Hello, Tonya. Supposed l was going to move to Guyana, what does it take to get the Guyanese Citizenship?
Really beautiful African queen... I am proud of you.
tscout7789 beauty Africian queen? I think she is a beautyful mixed race queen or am I wrong?
Yooo Cameroon!? SIAKAMMM
Rawl R Yeah that’s my cousin!
haha jk
My nephew in law is from Kenya and when he went to Guyana he said he can look at the people and tell that most Guyanese are from Ghana.
My mother had 25% Nigerian, 20% Ghana, 10% Cameroon, 5% Mail 20% South East Asia, 10% British Isles and Surprise 10% Finland/ Russian.
The research is accurate. My grand dad has a Swedish name but the ancestry showed Finnish/Russian. If you look at the map Finland is next to Russia on the East and Sweden on the West.
You have similar DNA to my mom.
Lol that picture doesn’t represent Cameroonians that look like a Fulani girl who are in many west African nations. Ethic groups like Tikar genetics pop up in African ancestry results.
What recent community did ancestry-DNA put you in? Did you get Caribbean community or Guyana or what?
I am also Afro - Guyanese, 1 question if u have limited info on your fathers side does that hinder your results ?
Thx u for doing this video I’m always looking our representation out here on UA-cam, u r very pretty ! It’s my dream to build my home back in Guyana 🇬🇾🖤
What is your Maternal haplogroup? They trace your mtdna according to regions and it has nothing to do with being mixed.
Hey girl I’m Guyanese 🇬🇾 I live in NYC ❤️ the video
You actually look like the Congolese woman.
😂😂 definitely she looks like my aunt. We are Congolese of the Bakongo tribe.
Exactly like the Congolese woman
Hi 👋🏾 New and subscribed I love ❤️ this video and I’m constantly asked my ethnicity I need to take this test So I know what my genetics are made from
Go for it!
just say you are Guyanese , if you are. if they persist just say you are mixed, then ask them you are supposed to be an americian so how come you got a german name? so where in Germany did they come from , ha ha ha this works both ways
I'm so interested in the ancestry please tell me what is the first thing to do ?
I knew before u even showed us that there was congo in you. And the picture u showed about congo saying that how congolese look like hum. I am congolese.
