The website updated and now shows you the ethnic division between parents. (In other words, it can’t distinguish which side is mom and which is dad, but can distinguish how much of your estimate comes from whichever side). Update again: You can now use your matches to determine which side is which parent and label them.

As others have noted, I think you were referring to England and an English accent. I took the Ancestry test and it said I was twenty-two percent English, so you can have some of mine :-).

It could be that the Swedish and Scottish are connected. Vikings settled Great Britain early...like 500AD...and many of the people in England and Scotland have remnants of those Viking visitors in their DNA. In history, that portion of Great Britain they settled is called the Danelaw if you wanted to learn a bit about it.

[@tamerachanel]

Thank you so much for this! I love getting more information about my results Bc I’m clueless lol but it’s nice to have people like you educating me on the history. I appreciate that!

[@joannathesinger770]

@@tamerachanel Well...to be honest, part I knew from my undergrad in history...but it wasn't until Ancestry started doing their upgrades and first, 3% Norwegian popped in, and the next upgrade changed it to 3% Swedish that I began to explore myself. Most of my lines go back before the Revolutionary War, and nary a Norwegian nor Swedish surname in the bunch. That's when I remembered about the Danelaw and since 90+% of my Ancestry comes from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, I figured those were remnants of Viking settlers over time.

Correct so if someone you are related to also did a dna test you will be matched with them. Sometimes ancestry is off by the relationship of the family member though because I noticed on mine my real life uncle who is my moms brother showed up on my dna test as my cousin and I googled it because he’s really my uncle no doubt lol and on Google it says that that happens often on ancestry.

[@Wavecurve]

As you rightly pointed out, Nigeria, Mali, Benin, Togo, Cameroon and Congo are all geographically close. Note that these countries are *artificial* borders created long after slavery. Between 1881 and 1914 , Europeans colonialists brutally carved up Africa for administrative convenience, without caring to keep tribes together in one country. So, one tribe can stretch across several African countries. It just means that your tribal ancestors inhabited the general areas where the named countries exist today. Anyway, Mama Africa misses her daughters. When are you coming for a visit?

Congrats on your results! I did mine at the start of the year too. Interesting to see other Black American results! Those first 4 countries are down to chattel slavery. Likely to be much less about movement on the continent and loads more about how our ancestors were forced to have children for slave labour. They were all robbed from West Africa and this reflects that. I’ve got those first 4 too. ☺️ Also interesting to see where your British/European DNA comes through. I always thought mine was so high bc of slave master abuse…guess it’s down to the white great grandparent I never knew. I’m 17% UK&I. Hope you get to make it to Europe someday.

Africans were sold by Africans not just stolen by Europeans. Not all were raked. My Native American grandmother and my British grandfather were in love and had five boys. All races have been abused either by others or just by those that are cruel within their own culture.

[@elizabethwilk9615]

It’s not all like that my British grandfather and my native grandmother married and were in love. Africans sold their own race to Europeans they were not all stolen. All people through history have had cruel people within their own - it’s not just one race abused.

Hey Ariel king they were enslaved by their own people and then sold out. Not forced by whites.

[@trav6745]

@@elizabethwilk9615 Actually, you are completely and profoundly wrong. Africans just didn't "sell their own race to Europeans", they traded and sold "slaves" and such others goods from the western world during that era. In Africa, the "slaves" that you think of as in slavery in America is completely different. The "slaves" in their homeland were not beaten, were not starved, were not made to work from dusk to dawn, rain sleet or snow, were not raped and tortured endlessly for the gain and superiority of others. They were simply normal people who committed crimes. The whole western ideology and conceptualization of slavery is completely European based not African based, so don't try to compared the two. It's apples and watermelons.

[@Deenatheknittingauthor]

you should do 23andme if you really want to deep dive into the different countries. The fact you have French chances are you also have Italian, Portuguese, and Spain. In some of the other Countries you mentioned, I have strong feelings you have more ancestry there because of how close they all are. Ancestry is great for DNA relatives but 23andme is amazing for finding out about different ethnicities. Blew my mind. I thought I was 100% Scottish/ British- Shocker to discover I was NOT. Not even close. Hell, I am not even 100% European (pretty close though) and I am only a second-generation Canadian! I 100% know where half my grandparents are from because they immigrated from there. (I thought I knew where all my grandparents were from hence why I thought I was 100% Scottish and English) If you haven't tried it, try it! They even have haplogroups for Maternal and Paternal (For you you would only have your Mother's show up because you are a woman- but if you have a bio full brother or dad who does the test too, then it will show your paternal Haplogroup. I actually was able to figure out a "relative" I didn't know was a relative until the test- who his bio parents were starting with his Haplogroups. Anyways. needless to say, all the people who said to me someone is lying to you, you should do one of those Ancestry tests WERE RIGHT! I have done Ancestry too- but as a "Second opinion" haha. It was very general with my different ancestors lumping a lot together- But... it did confirm I was not who I thought I was. I have a feeling you have some West Asian- Just based on some of the countries you had mentioned. One thing I have learned from doing these tests- we are all 6 degrees from being the same - With how easy it is to travel right now- it's going to keep growing!

[@PleasentToBeAround]

So you have about 87% African DNA and look it. Congrats!

[@tamerachanel]

Thank you!

[@noaholivercedillo3461]

my dna test came back telling me I’m indigenous/ Spaniard/ French/ basque and a bunch of other little small stuff

[@tamerachanel]

That’s so cool! Thank you for watching✨

Really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing!

[@tamerachanel]

Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr]

I love this video. Good job putting it together. Thanks for sharing your experience, thanks for showing us your dna results. What is your family history, your results don't look typical for an African American's results.

[@DoctorDiqERDown]

Majority of blk americans have between 19-25% white some have more. Also some have NA ancestry its typical results

[@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr]

@@DoctorDiqERDown It's somewhat typical, but not super common for Native American ancestry, typically about 1% when it's there. Not a lot. Snoop is the exception to the rule.

[@DoctorDiqERDown]

@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr ive watched several black dna results many had between these ranges also some are gettin native american and some even gettin north and east african idk how i watched over 200 dna results

[@blondek767]

DNA is a funny thing. I knew my family was Pennsylvania Dutch, Lutheran. I married a guy who’s father was former Amish, and mother was Pennsylvania Dutch, Methodist. My daughter had her DNA done, it came back 90% German and 10% Scandinavian/Swiss. Some of us have defects, especially the ones born with light blonde hair and blue eyes. I was born that way, and my son, and his daughter all have defects, similar to loss of pigment, patches of white hair, missing teeth, and stuff. That’s what happens in closed societies, inner-breeding.

[@BrokeTruckerGyal]

90% German is a crazy percentage. That's almost purebred. Reminds me of Conan talking about being 100% Irish and being inbred 😂 DNA is a magical thing.

[@blondek767]

My aunt did our genealogy back in the 1970’s. Our family came from Germany in 1690, and lived in ‘secs’ in mountain communities in Pennsylvania. The biggest enemy were the English and no interbreeding with them was allowed. They lived humble lives, did not travel beyond the county they were born. All of them were farmers or worked on farms, my dad was the first to go to a local college. I spent much time at my grandfather’s farm, after traveling as a young adult, I came back to Pa and bought a farm. Not all white people are alike. The Irish are mostly Catholic and have their own traditions.

[@amberhansen3806]

My mom grew up being told she's French, Native and Irish. She's Spanish, African, British and Balkan and Scandinavian. She's 25% African and Spanish (Nigerian and N African) 25% Balkan and the rest is British/Scandinavian. No Native DNA there lol Her cousins are Native. Like look it and everything. The mystery continues

[@realtalk6195]

Your West African ancestry is very diverse. It means you have significant ancestry from different time periods, including the earlier arrivals. In the first half of the transatlantic slave trade, the slaves were primarily brought from the western coastline of West Africa. In the second half, they were primarily from the southern coastline of West Africa or lower. Many 'African Americans' today have ancestry primarily from the southern coastline, but you have a far more diverse mix. You likely have ancestors from different walks of life and it's also likely you had literate ancestors from your Senegambian and Malian heritage. 4:50 Since slaves were taken from a wide variety of places from the western coastline of Africa, I don't know why you would assume your ancestors from Cameroon were migrants from Nigeria. The ancestry test is showing you two different ancestries. These are different ethnic groups. Also, it should be noted that although the map shows most of the southwest and southcentral of Africa, your ancestors were most likely from the northwest part of that green. All of these are Western Bantu peoples but all of them weren't taken to North America.

Have you looked back at your results since this video? They update ever year in the fall. You should get an email when this happens. Do you know anything under 7%, if you cannot find it on your tree then it is noise.

I have not! Let me go check thank you!!

You and I are definitely family! I’m 42% from Cameroon, 14% Nigerian, 17% Benin & Togo, etc.

[@the_internet_332]

A large portion of scotland's DNA will show up Swedish/nordic and irish due to migration patterns as well, so it may just be a single scottish ancestor.

[@Cleaning-de-la-maison-hb2mk]

How nice is that, that you have DNA from so many parts of Africa! and the European genes also. It is ncie isn't it, when we take DNA and actually we had no idea it was going to give that sort of result. Have you tried DNA testing with the other popular DNA test company? l did two myself with 2 companies and the results were different, one company said l had 24% Italian DNA (no Italian i the family at all) and hte other said l had no Italian. So l was a bit annoyed after that, unsure if l really have Italian genes or not!

[@benbenassi2348]

i can see the nigerian & congolese. If you live in the UK you'll notice these 2 people kinda look alike.

my results have brought so far so much knowledge bc I knew nothing, but I’ve also uncovered secret hidden family members, family that was put up at birth, family members that were products of rape etc the further back I go the darker it gets including slavery, native Americans being slaughtered and then the widowed wives and orphans of them men slaughtered in a specific town bc the wives and of the ppl who did it 😭 I’ve found all this out in like a week and I did my test in 2014 but never messed with it lol I guess my gut instinct was right in I should just not look at it lol this is so sad and wild but also I’m hooked and obsessed with finding out more and more each day
