Even if the MatriClan test pinpoints your mtDNA to Europe, it doesn’t mean you’re not African. It’s just the beginning of your journey. You can still trace the rest of your African lineages with help from your father (paternal grandfather and paternal grandmother) and your mother’s dad and male relatives (maternal grandfather and his maternal grandmother). I initially had concerns about my MatriClan test being traced back to Europe despite having close to 100% Sub Saharan African DNA and it was because 2 percent being traced back to Northwestern Europe. It wasn’t until I was invited by African Ancestry to be part of the Live Day Reveal and I found out my results are traced back to the Tuareg people in Mali today. Right now, I am currently awaiting my results from the PatriClan test and it’s a relief my Y chromosome is African in origin and a E1b1a variant.

I understand man. I get it. I tested with living DNA and family tree DNA, and both of them say my y haplogroup is European. When I tested it with living DNA back in 2023 it came back European and I thought it was a mistake, but they mentioned it wasn’t. I was like OK. So I decided to test with family tree DNA and see if I would get a different result. A couple of weeks later my results came back and my YDNA haplogroup was European. At this point, I was like OK so my y haplogroup is European. I thought about testing with African ancestry but only for my maternal side. I’m hoping if I do decide to test with African ancestry I hope it come back African for my mom's side at least.

I find this so funny!! Blk Americans trying to find the part of Africa their ancestors came from is pointless. Y’all should start with embarrassing your African roots first.😂😂😂 I’m Puerto Rican and I’m more African than 98% of blk Americans.😂😂😂 I mean, what did y’all do to embrace your African roots? Puerto Rico was colonized TWICE, we’re mixed with Native American and European and most of our culture is African. Our Spanish is full of africanisms, our gastronomy mostly African, our dances and music mostly African, while y’all looking to find out a place y’all have no attachment to.

Just because his maternal haplogroup came back European, it doesn’t mean he’s not African because he can still take 3 other tests to gain an African result. I’d always recommend doing Ancestry and 23andMe to make things a lot easier and more consistent.

That's Arab. Your Paternal ancestor could have been a descendant of one of the Prophets Companions or The Prophets' Daughter Fatima who settled in North West Africa. There are plenty of them in places like Northern Senegal Mali and Mauritania. You shouldn't be devastated by the paternal side. There was a group of husbands and wives, who were busted trying to sell some Fulani slaves and ended up sold into slavery. They ended up in South Carolina and were from the Trarza region of Mauritania. They worked and purchased their freedom. Eventualy they sued to be released from the governance of the 1740 Negro act which was inclusive of the "Ancient Berbers" and their descendants. They won the case and settled in South Carolina but there's no paper trail with surnames that they may have chosen. They were known as the "Moors of Sundry." A lot of ahistorical quacks like to misuse their story to claim being Moroccans. However, they were Trarza and lived across the Senegal border which was the area known as Futa Tooro. Everyone taken into slavery was not 'black." If you need sources give a shout.

I was listening to your message and clearly understand how the result changes your ability to control your previous narrative as to explaining your allegiance to the ethnic group that you were either told you were part of or were led to believe that you belonged to. In the USA the idea of white supremacy back in the late 1400s didn’t exist. It was common back then for all types of people to understand who was educated or was rich intelligent or was strong or was weak or intelligent or unskilled or skilled or multi language or bilingual or speaking one language, the world had religion and that appeared to be more significant rather than skin color…However early Colonial slavery made a distinction in those 13 original colonies that race meant that skin color would be the determination or authoritative and dominance and acceptance and ownership of others based solely on color…This was the invention of the so called white race. As there is only a human race of the world we now see evidence that civilization story has a set of markers where our DNA tell of our past human journey… So do not get it twisted you are part of the great human race and as much as you are one of the classic categories of humans there can be no confusion about who you are. Only those who believe this fake doctrine of white supremacy or superiority to world dominance are going to be fooled into belief that your ethnicity makes better or worst than another human being… when they are saying the first this or that to have a position they are not talking DNA they are talking white supremacy mumbojumbo .. As we are surely coming to realize that it was not only the Atlantic Slave trade that caused some DNA strains to be in evidence in Poles and Slavs and Russians and other East even Europeans today even in it .2 or.3 percent. Of course as the world has created the narrative that “white people isre this or that above others” we have these example of DNA that ca not be erased from them nor can it be erased from you… many try to hide it some flaunt what might not be obvious to others as they claim their alliance to say the Proud Boys although they themselves look nothing like Caucasian. Perhaps that example is too extreme but what I am saying is you are human and if you caught up in how white or black you are you are falling for the white supremacy line of divisiveness. There is L first man first woman point of origin and subsequent migration moments of generations that followed. It goes back 100s of thousands of years ago and it does not have a fucking thing to do with skin variables and religion and or some eugenics theories. There is only one human race…

Especially since they tend to have a mix of Berber ancestry which is Northern Africa. So your ancestor might have been Berber on your maternal side. You should do the Patrilenal test....it traces your Y chromosome. I got Senegambia in my results. So lots of tribes Mandinka, Mende & Temne, Kru and Fula...

@@SpiritReadz African ancestry is not a proper DNA test. It only tests your paternal haplogroup aka your father's father's father etc and your maternal haplogroup aka your mother's mother's mother etc. So though your father has mostly African ancestors, his father's father's father's father's line (his direct paternal line) leads back to a European man who possess a y chromosome common in Spain. If you want to do a DNA test that can break down your overall ethnicity then get him to do ancestry DNA or 23andme. These paternal haplogroups and maternal haplogroups testing tell you next to nothing about your ethnicity
