[@EmpireArcadia]

I'm happy she's happy. True pride in being African.

[@septic3865]

I don't find anything wrong with her being happy about being 90% African, would you mind me being proud because I'm 100% European?

[@EmpireArcadia]

This isn't about you whoever you are. If you're European that's your business. This isn't a "ANTI EUROPEAN" post from me its a "PRO AFRICAN" post. Being proud and having pride in being African doesn't mean its an attack on Europeans. The fact that people take fear in that, is why they created a psychological system that has my brothers and sisters hating themselves. Our people have been psychologically assaulted to hate their own existence as an African. So I'm happy when I see one of my people being happy that they're African. It has nothing to do with not being European.

[@septic3865]

I never said it was an anti European post.

[@EmpireArcadia]

Ok so let's look at this simplistically. If it isn't a Anti European Post. If your not talking about the post being Anti European. If I'm happy she's happy and you're happy that she's happy. Then why are you bringing up if I would be proud of you being 100% European? I'm African, how would I be able to take pride in a ethnicity that I'm not from? It's one thing if you were to ask me if I would be happy for you if you're 100% European... and even that is still out of place because as I said this video this isn't about you. Also why would you come to a African based video to ask a African if they would be proud or happy of you being European? That's like a African going to a European DNA thread asking them to be happy he or she is African. Simply put... it bothers you that we take pride in our heritage, culture and ethnicity. Somewhere deep down that bothers you. Threatens you because we accept who we are and don't have to be validated by you. Do you know what that is called.... It's called being a "White Supremacist". Oh... and for a bit of education, it has nothing to do with your skin color... White Supremacy is a system and is in many dark skin people as well. What is it, is to have everyone think that every other facet of life, is inferior to that of White Europeans. So if anyone does not glorify the "Eurocentric" standard it is threatening. Well I have news for you... there are 5 billion + people like me... all dark like me. You should feel threaten. 500 years has passed... times up.

[@septic3865]

It does not bother me whatsoever that she is proud to be 90% African, not the slightest. What does bother me is people like you putting labels on me without any knowledge about me whatsoever. You sound like a huge racist, you don't know anything about me or where I am from. Why did you say that it bothers me? It doesn't. Good for her, good for me. You should take pride in who you are, just like I should, don't put stupid labels on me you jerk.

[@josephine_marie]

its refreshing to see someone actually happy about having high African ancestry

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks Josie! 💃🏾😃

[@cococaba2007]

Exactly! I love it!!

[@keekp]

true

[@darthmortus5702]

Idk, from what little I've seen of it most Black US ppl tend to be sad or even angry at having European ancestry. Given the historical contest there is some logic in that of course.

[@satanlordofhell5834]

+Alison “allieIBC” Ryce hello, I was just wondering, how long did the quality review take? (Step 4)

[@tbilbeisi9251]

RIP headphone users 2:05

[@nadyahgordon7528]

I'm so mad. smh

[@Mimi-ss3xx]

Thanks for the warning!

[@davidwise3426]

So true! Hee, hee

[@HomebodyMommy]

Lols!! 😂😂😂

[@iayyam]

She scared the crap out of me lol

[@prettyposhness]

This has hands down been THEE best reaction and I have watched tons of these videos...my heart actually smiled and warmed over at your reaction to all that beautiful African ancestry😁

[@AlisonRyce]

Thank you Tia!!!!! Your comment made my day! 😃

[@prettyposhness]

+Alison “allieIBC” Ryce you are so welcome...thank u!

[@richieyh3211]

I adore how excited you are about how African you are. Yasssss!

[@septic3865]

Would you think I am racist if I was 100% European and very happy about it?

[@richieyh3211]

No. I'm of the opinion that everyone has the right to love and be happy with exactly who they are.

[@Ifeanyiijeh]

Septic why would anyone think you're racist for being proud to be European? That's crazy. Everyone should be proud of their heritage. Am 100% African and proud. You too should be proud of being European.

[@sarahajike]

Lord, I jumped when you shreeked! 😂 I'm glad you're so happy to be majority African. It's so refreshing to see and hear. 👍🏾

[@LovelySunshine17]

LoL girl, you had me laughing. :) I'm Jamaican and have 89.6% sub-Saharan African. Yay!!

[@AlisonRyce]

😂 Cool! Thanks for sharing your results! Yay!!! 😀🇯🇲

[@AwakenedHebrew]

lol, you seriously sacred me when you screamed. My volume was to the max. Congrats mama!!

[@AlisonRyce]

I'm soooooooo sorry!!! I was honestly SHOCKED that my result was so high. Thanks 💜

[@AwakenedHebrew]

It's all love! Just happy for you! Loved your reaction! ;)

[@AlisonRyce]

+NICOa NICOa Thanks so much! 😊

[@kiahdale3858]

[@perfectbeat]

Exactly! damn.

[@NaturallyHigh]

Oh and you're absolutely stunning!

[@AlisonRyce]

Awwwwww THANK YOU!!!! :-D

[@natanyat4901]

She is very pretty

[@iayyam]

+Natanya T that's how Trinis roll...

[@glorybe8022]

Yes honey I can't wait to do mine. I'm hoping for 100% Africa.

[@AlisonRyce]

Good luck! 🙂

[@ncprice777]

What a proud heritage!!!!

[@AlisonRyce]

Thank you! 💜

[@slowedtunesz1667]

You could've warned us when you shrieked! RIP my eardrum.

[@dlx6028]

*That's what I'm talking about. The highest I've seen so far. Damn near full blooded. Congrats!!! Awesome news 👍. Haven't done mine yet but I'm hoping for a 100. But I know the slave owners probably messed that up.*

[@TheKofinyarko]

hahahha, cant trust those English boys

[@octaviaeguabor9516]

I really hope I'm all African as well! Lucky you! And you're gorgeous!

[@AlisonRyce]

Thank you Octavia! 😀

[@Whimswirl]

I absolutely loved your reaction! I am 100% East/sub-saharan African. Growing up I was bullied for being black as I grew up in a very white area in Denmark but as I have grown up I am very proud to be 100% African.

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 100%??? WOW! Cool! Being bullied sucks. I'm glad you've grown into appreciating yourself for who you are.

[@lpsluver1000]

You're almost a purebred!

[@AlisonRyce]

+Anony miss I know! So cool! 😁

[@Kenyua1]

Wow that's high on the African numbers. I hope I'm close to that. I just sent my test off this morning. :-) Congrats!!

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks! Let me know what your results are when you get them! 🙂

[@Kenyua1]

Will do!

[@Kenyua1]

[@HKNYN1]

Alison Ryce you're welcome Alison 😘

[@jessicao6376]

Beautiful Reaction

[@sjcharles1]

I'm Grenadian and my results were 93% African. Great video, I too was over the moon when I got my results.

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks for watching and sharing your results!!! Thanks to this DNA test, I now have Grenadian cousins! Now I really have to visit & play Jab Jab at last once in my life! 🇬🇩

[@classytoya24]

I loved your reaction😀 I took the test through Ancestry and I'm 92% African, very proud of it as well! Congrats on your results!

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks! 😀 92%? Cool! Congrats on your results as well! 😎

[@timikalittle6630]

I was as excited as you when my Ancestry DNA results revealed my 84% African roots. As an African-American, it makes me so proud to know how strong the African influence is!

[@AlisonRyce]

YES!!! Growing up, the only images of Africans seen were loin-cloth wearing hunters with spears in their hands. Society taught us that we weren't like them; we were DIFFERENT. Thanks to technology and social media, we can learn where we really come from, connect with them, and be proud of who we are.

[@falcoperegrinus2292]

I love, love, love how you were so excited about being 90%+ African! Made me feel so proud! I can only hope my results show something similar!

[@AlisonRyce]

Falco Peregrinus Thank you!!!! 😊😊😊😍

[@sarahc561]

She's so proud! I love it!

[@AlisonRyce]

☺️Thank you! 😍

[@misshappinessveryhappy1507]

I feel your joy

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks Valine! 😀

[@siusaidhchaimbeul5499]

Really like that you put a diagram! People tend to forget how fast we have lots and lots of ancestors. Big Up Trinidad!

[@ronettaw2052]

It really warmed my heart to see that you're so happy to high such a high percentage of African blood! You usually see so many blacks trying to claim something else. Congratulations!

[@AlisonRyce]

Ronetta Wreh Thanks! My parents grew up at a time in the Caribbean where most of the people were closed off to the rest of the world. Any time there was someone who didn't look like the stereotypical "African", another race would be assigned to that person. My mom was definitely labeled African, but back in the 60s, my dad was called white or Asian by folks. I was known as my dad's Asian child because of my slanted eyes. I was happily shocked to see that over 90% of me comes from Africa. It made me feel so proud & I couldn't hide all that excitement! 😄

[@ronettaw2052]

I love that story and I'm sure that your dad was happy to hear the results! Although I'm African born and dark, people repeatedly tell me I may have asian blood because my eyes are very slanted as well. However, being African, I'm aware that most africans have slanted eyes, lol. I need to take the test just for the hell of it! Thank you for replying :)

[@AlisonRyce]

Yes, you should get tested! I'm sure that your DNA relatives will be so happy to connect with you. There are so many Americans and Caribbean people that would live to connect with their African cousins! You'll definitely make their dreams a reality.

[@AzureKite191]

+Ronetta W I'm from Trinidad & Tobago and I took 23 and me and I was 81%African, 13% European 3% South Asian, and 3%East Asian I'm definitely proud to be multiracial, but I'm especially proud of my Italian heritage. I'm proud to be a Italian-Trini:)

[@AlMahdi2k]

Awesome. I guessed you were 87%. But 90% though wow big ups sis. That African blood weathered the freaking storm! I'm African American 83% African 17% European. Wish I was at least 85% African. Darn it.

[@AlisonRyce]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂YES!!!!! Your comment is HILARIOUS!!!!! That African blood did all it could to survive and THRIVE! lololololol 😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing your results! What's crazy was that I said to myself if I couldn't be at least 85%, I would be happy with 83% cause that's the year I was born. Thanks man! 😀

[@AlMahdi2k]

No doubt. West African family. We think alike. Def gonna find me a West African Queen to set things right. Its kinda of badge of shame for us New World blacks to carry their European blood in us for reasons you and I can both understand. Saw the roots series recently def put my motivations on overdrive. LOL.

[@AlisonRyce]

+Buffalo “Chris Truitt” New Yorker Oh yeah, it's a bit difficult to see the evidence of what our ancestors had to endure. Mostly all of us have genes passed down to us by the people who captured humans and made profits off of it. On a good note, most of our DNA comes from the Africans who survived the torture of captivity. If they hadn't survived, we wouldn't be here today. 😎

[@Atlas24gh]

A whopping 90.7% ?

[@AlisonRyce]

Yup!

[@TwistedLyfofTV]

Thanks for watching my video. Girl you were lit when you got that African result. I know that's right girl embrace the motherland! Love this video. I'm going to do a 23andMe next.

[@AlisonRyce]

My Twisted Life with Poetry You're welcome! I'm glad you liked this video! Yeah, I honestly thought that I was going to be less African than I was. My paternal grandmother (not pictured in the video) was a natural red head that was often mistaken for a white woman back in the day (in the Caribbean). My result was a true shocker for me.

[@poeticjustice144]

I was almost sad when I found out the I was only 72% African. I was thinking I was 80% I'm glad you are happy with your results!!

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks for watching & sharing your experience! In my head, I was guessing that I was at least 70% African due to my dad's maternal grandfather having close European ancestors. I started there, so I would've been happy with whatever my result was. 72% is still a high percentage of African. 72 is like having two 100% African, 1 100% European, & 1 mixed Grandparent. Don't be "almost" sad; you know you're still the hostess at the cookout! 👠

[@poeticjustice144]

Alison Ryce I a said almost sad because it do like have a little bit of everything in me 16% European and 8% asian (Afghanistan and Pakistan), 3% middle eastern, and 1% Native American. Also, I do have 1 mixed grandpa. How did you know? I wish I could find more about my dad side. I also have Dominican which is a mixture of Africa, Iberian, and native American. So Dominican helped my African percentage a little.

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks for sharing! You're a child of the world! It would've been cool if you won the contest that 23andme had some months ago. They would've flown you to so many different countries on their dime. To learn more about your dad's side, you can test your mom and pay attention to all the DNA cousins that you have that aren't matches to your mom. Those folks are your dad's family. You can do that on GedMatch too If you need help in that area, i'd he happy to tell you more about it.

[@sarahajike]

It's so cool that they include other genetic and health information. That's really good. I really wanna do mine.

[@djjackson6276]

Love your energy! Africa rules sister!❤❤❤

[@terrence1821]

Hi Alison, i am fascinated by your postings!! would you happen to know of a Kenneth Ryce who lived in Barbados (maybe deceased)? Are you related to the Seals family in SVG?

[@AlisonRyce]

Terrence Gilliard Hi! Thanks for watching & responding! I'm actively trying to connect with the Ryce family in Barbados. My dream is to travel there, visit the archives center, and make connections with distant cousins. My late uncle Charles Adolphus Seales is the older half brother of the late Franklyn Seales (born 1952), who played Dexter Stiffins in the 1980s sitcom Silver Spoons. Their father was Francis Seales, a merchant Seaman who had my uncle with my grandmother in 1946. Mr. Seales, Franklyn, & the Seales in SVG aren't connected to me by blood, they're my uncle's family.

[@terrence1821]

Thanks for responding Alison! I am actually from Saint Lucia and my dad's dad was Kenneth Ryce from Barbados but I never knew him for several reasons including the fact that they never kept in touch. My dad knows nothing of the family...Interestingly my grandma (Dad's mom) married a Seales from SVG who later moved to Saint Lucia and had quite a large family...

[@AlisonRyce]

Terrence Gilliard Wow! Thanks for sharing your genealogy story with me. There are many different branches of Ryces in Barbados. Hopefully, we will be from the same branch. Have you tested with any DNA test companies?

[@terrence1821]

I am contemplating ancestry.com, my dad is awaiting results from them....lets see what happens

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

Gorgeous! I was assuming from your dad that you would maybe he 60-70%. Nice to see you happy about your heritage

[@AssistantToTheHNIC]

Awesome reaction, you go girl

[@AlisonRyce]

+Bam Arceneaux Thanks so much! 😀

[@christinemanczuk5266]

Love your enthusiasm :-). Have you considered doing AncestryDNA? They seem to have a more detailed African breakdown that you might find interesting.

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks Christine! My sister & brother ordered their kits from Ancestry. We share the same mother and father, so I'm waiting to see how close their results are to mine. 💜

[@kassidymiller3223]

OMG You're gorgeous

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks so much! 💜

[@sirhosealot]

I really enjoyed this...that Trini Vincy admixture is quite wonderful.

[@msch3891]

Lol probably the only video of a few that looked happy about their African percentage results.

[@yoavyisrael3886]

88.7% Sub-Saharan African, 7.0%(Black) European, I know you're laughing, but you never know. 2.2% Native American, 2.1 unassigned in Speculative Results. 69.7% unassigned in the Conservative Results. I took my test in July 2015. Seem as though 23and Me has stop giving the "Conservative Results." I wonder why? Anyway, once again, CONGRATS!

[@AlisonRyce]

+Yoav Yisrael I like your spin on the European side! I wonder why as well! Thanks!

[@Sonia-uz7wn]

Your reaction is LIFE! You had me over here in Cali excited! ☺✊ Congrats for discovering your roots.

[@AlisonRyce]

Thank you so much!!!!! You have me blushing over here! ❤️❤️

[@landmark22]

[@timovrtime]

You're awesome! Thanks for the videos!

[@AlisonRyce]

Tim Thanks so much! 😊😊

[@fireleiperla2951]

Thanks! Your video helped me decide which test to use.

[@haqi9fly]

I have a good muscular built without working out as much, so I’m pretty sure that’s my African side dominating.

[@AlisonRyce]

That's good genes! I agree with you on that!

[@NaturallyHigh]

This is so exciting! I'm of Afro Trinidadian descent with Vincentian on my mother's side. I'm getting my results very soon! I find your excitement extremely refreshing since a lot of these videos present being less African as better.

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks so much!!! I just love African culture and I wanted to be as close to 100% as possible. Vincentian on your mother's side too? Coooool! Oh wow, let me know when your results are in!!!

[@poeticjustice144]

What were your results?

[@chequitamcgowan403]

dang girl... you scared the mess out of me ...screaming like that 😦

[@mikealpha6633]

Alison that video was very well put together. looks like ill need some lessons from your.

[@AlisonRyce]

Oh thanks! It's all trial & error. I've been teaching myself to edit videos for 6 years now. I'll be glad to help!

[@adrontate601]

best reaction ever!!! makes me happy for you congrats.

[@AlisonRyce]

Awwww thanks so much Adron!!!! 😄

[@spda81]

I just got permanent hearing loss. Thanks.

[@AlisonRyce]

Thank you! 😀

[@nanaaraj]

I want to do the 23 and me to find out about my mother’s side of the family.

[@AlisonRyce]

Cool! Thanks for sharing your decision & your reason behind it!

[@shesBlessed83]

Yeah you look South African

[@IamEddieLee]

If you're from Trinidad (and Guyana), you gotta' expect some South Indian descent

[@AlisonRyce]

Hi Eddie, thanks for watching! I was born in Trinidad, but my ancestors (5 generations up) were all from Barbados and St. Vincent. My great grandparents migrated to Trinidad, but didn't mix with any one with Trinidadian roots. That's why I was surprised to see East Indian represented in my DNA.

[@ReadyRedKennels]

Why do you got to expect some South Indian descent from Trinidad or Guyana ?

[@IamEddieLee]

+Ready Red Kennels Trinidad and Guyana are two places where a lot of Blackfolks, that I know, appear to have some South Asian admixture.

[@dramadidi]

Wow !! West Indians sis !! Pretty ! That's a lot for ah trini lol love your results ! I wish it was actually available for us living in the Caribbean

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks so much! Yeah, I wish it was available in the Caribbean as well. I'm searching for extended family members there and DNA matches would be a great help.

[@Jojo-sx4xi]

This is the best reaction ever! Exactly what I'm hoping for.

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks so much Jephie! 😀

[@Jojo-sx4xi]

+Alison “allieIBC” Ryce You're welcome. I'm hoping for the nineties as well. We will see. 😘

[@AlisonRyce]

+Jephie Bernard Cool! 90+ or not, you're a beautiful African woman with features that you've inherited from the continent. Let me know your results when you get them back! 🌴

[@cattymingdu4151]

nice results xxx

[@lunade13]

Your facial structure is beautiful, like a goddess 😍 Congrats on your 100% African ancestry!

[@julieanderson4541]

❤ i only have 2% and i was pretty humbled, proud and happy to know this. You own that and its beautiful!! Totally unexpected.. i was looking for the native american dna and ancestry shows 0%, but i just enrolled with my great grandfathers tribe!🤔 haha my familys name is also Clarke, or Clark... btw😉

[@teresai1877]

I'm a Nigerian, and I would say that you probably have a lot of Nigerian ancestry just from looking at your face. Just so people know, yes, Africans do have distinct unique features. How can we tell? We can just tell. Anyway, this makes sense since 86% of your DNA is from West Africa. Your nose reminds of the Yoruba people (in Southwestern Nigeria). There are many ethnic groups in Nigeria, but the Yoruba are a very numerous and famous ethnic group. This also makes sense since during the slave trade, many of them were taken to the Caribbean and especially to Brazil. There are even some people in Brazil who still can speak a form of the Yoruba language. Anyway, God bless and love from your Nigerian sister!

[@GuardianDiancie]

Congrats on your result. Lol i should haven't have had my earphones in. Good thing is, I can laugh at myself when I do something wrong.

[@zochbuppet448]

Before you click the start arrow, TURN DOWN YOUR SPEAKERS. Mad skunt almost bus up me ear drum I thought these test can tell the difference between East Asian and Native American dna...similar but still different. You have to wonder about these tests

[@keikeigallard]

76% sub African 22.1% european, East Asian & Native American 0.6%, Middle Eastern & North African 0.5% Unassigned 0.5% My DNA results from 23nMe

[@ms.keyshawineglass7590]

This was my same reaction when I saw 80% African ancestry. For me being of African American and Jamaican decent this made me extremely proud. I'm not going to lie. My heart swelled with pride. I was afraid the percentage would be less but I am so happy it isn't. I'm proud that my Caribbean and American Ancestors stuck together to give me that much of the Motherland's DNA.

[@indiansage9295]

@Alison alright girl (yyyeesss) be proud,you better preach,ain't nothing like a beautiful sister loving her roots,I'm a mixed race female and I love all of me to,you better believe black is beautiful I hope I have Zulu blood or Nigerian blood,lol lol I'm praying.

[@tobytoodles6705]

It's peculiar to be so excited about ethnicity. I'm taking my 23AndMe test today and I'm simply curious. I will accept and celebrate whatever ethnic backgrounds are present. An excessive concern about bloodlines can be a source of division, ethnocentrism and racism.

[@LukeCageforhire]

You were so calm until 2:05 then you made me jump

[@AlisonRyce]

I know, i'm so sorry about that! That was my raw reaction. 😂

[@pharoahmonk50]

Your mom is precious. Your sister is actually a mini-me of your mom. Even though the three of you ladies do favor. Your dad is so chill. Maybe when I get to become his age, I will be almost as cool! Haha! All around a great video! Thanks for sharing!

Are you able to contact any of the matches?

[@AlisonRyce]

Yes, with 23andMe, i have the ability to send them messages and have private conversations. I've made great connections with distant relatives that way! Thanks for asking!

[@ladytrini92]

my results are on the way! great video

ALL BOW DOWN TO BEAUTIFUL AFRICAN QUEEN

[@AlisonRyce]

Thank you Mike! 😀🌟

[@ABLynWilson]

Say it out loud, I'm black and I'm proud! I'm so happy 4 you! I wanna do the same test , but I guess I'm more european/white than black. I'm very lightskin, People don't even reconize me as a black. So I must be over 80 procent white and there is black in me too. I'm just curious about my ancestor results. This is so cool!

[@AlisonRyce]

It is cool! You should definitely do it! Whatever your results are, it's what makes you YOU. People will always try to put one label on you and try to force you to choose a side, but you're more than one label. It's possible that you're a beautiful mix of African and European. Don't ever let anyone make you feel like "you're not black enough". Leave them in their ignorant state and get closer to individuals that will celebrate you for who you are. I would love to know your results! Let me know what they are when you get them! 😊

[@fatimadavis90]

Its ok girly. You're black. I think I'm mainly am too since I've never met a person who doesnt grow my hair texture during any family reunion events I was invited to 😭😭😭. I guess I maybe be light skin with Afro features 🤷‍♀️

Hey! You were amazing in your video! Loved your reaction! I took the test too. To find out my results, check out my video!

Why so excited over being 90% African? It's not as if it should come as a surprise.

[@wendellbellrosa1028]

Very interesting. I am thinking about doing one. My mother is from San Felipe de Villa Mella Santo Domingo Dominican Republic and my father is from the islands of Turks and Caicos near the Bahamas.

Girl where that INDIAN come from tho lol

[@AlisonRyce]

😂 I know right???? 😂 I've been doing research on it and I learned that Indians have been living in East & Central Africa for many generations. I'm guessing that my Indian ancestors were Indians that were born in Africa. They mixed with my black African ancestors, then probably traveled west, got kidnapped, & sold to British slave owners in the Caribbean.

+Alison “allieIBC” Ryce Wow...Very Unfortunate how it all went down, but I would not ever want to change it. I love our history and Melting POT of cultures in the Caribbean.

100 percent beautiful

Awww Thank you! 💜

Hi I had a question regarding your use of these testing sites. Does this company keep your dna?

[@haqi9fly]

Shit I hope I have at least 75%

[@AlisonRyce]

Fingers crossed!!!!

[@raiseup1453]

What i don't get about these tests is how they manage to tell you that you're 10% this and 90% when most of your ancestry doesn't get tested. like in my case i can only get my mother's mother's mother's.... ancestry result, which is 100% african and my father's father's father... which is also 100% African. Yet, my mother is half european, but from her father. So would i basically get 100% african in my tests results whereas i'm actually 25% european ? Note : I'm not african american, but african so I know precisely what is my ethnicity. or are there things i'm not getting here

[@AlisonRyce]

What you're referring to is the Haplogroup test. It is often confused with the autosomal tests. Autosomal tests gives you your complete genetic makeup, while Haplogroup tests gives you only your maternal or paternal line.

You are stunning!

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks Laura!!!

[@Darqnezz1]

Love your reaction. I'm from the St. Croix and I'm 85% African 14% European 1% East Asian/Native American. Just like you I was pleased with my results. This stuff is fascinating.

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks Marvin! Thanks for also sharing your results! Yeah, this DNA research is very fascinating! I've been to St. Criox!! My dad and uncles worked there for a few years. I stayed in Christiansted! The fresh fish and the fish cake I ate there was breathtaking! 🇻🇮

[@aaytee3428]

I felt your joy BIG TIME!!! lol awesome!!..... Congratulations on being in the 90% plus club. I think that is amazing and rare after us dealing with 500 years of slavery.... anyway one love hun!!

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks so much! Yeah, I knew I was majority African, but I had no idea that my African genes would be that dominant after all those years of mixing. It was such a shock! Viewing my results gave me such a sense of pride and now my subconscious mind connects with the gorgeous continent on a whole different level. 🎉😃😎🌴🎼🌅
