AncestryDNA & African Ancestry DNA Results. Both For Juneteenth!

This week thanks to my employer, I was able to trace my origin through “ancestryDNA” and “African Ancestry.” Just in time for the celebration of Juneteenth! #dna

[@GuardianoftheGoldenStool]

Congratulations on your results!!! I also tested with both companies, and definitely appreciate both from what they have to offer. I’ll say this got more from the Ancestry DNA experience considering the fact that African Ancestry specifically specializes in testing your direct maternal lineage, your mother’s mother’s mother’s lineage etcetera, or direct paternal, your father’s father’s father’s lineage etcetera. The genes from that direct maternal or direct paternal ancestor may only represent 1 or 2 percent of your genetic make up, as you have multiple lineages, that are not your direct maternal or paternal. Regardless I was thankful to know something of the foremother or forefather’s origin on these lineages. Those being the Yoruba of Nigeria on my direct maternal side, and Akan of Ghana on my direct paternal side. In reference to Ancestry DNA, as you probably know those ethnicity estimates represent the contributions of the random 50 percent of each of the genetic make ups each of your parents dispersed to you upon conception. The beauty is the test not only provides for you your ethnicity estimates, but so much more such as the genetic communities where you dna is most concentrated in your present country, the US being my case, the dna matches, & so much more. With the dna matches upon finding distant African cousins, discovering their origins, I was able to find far more about my African ancestry prior the Atlantic slave trade.

What a great reveal! AfricanAncestry definitely digs deeper. Cheers and continued joy building your collection ❤️🖤💚

Thank you so much! Appreciate that! 😊

What an awesome video, Darryl. As soon as the lady mentioned the Fang masks you stood up and I knew what you were going to do ...grabbing my former Fang mask and showing it to the camera without adding any comment was priceless. Really proud of you.

[@DarrylMcCullough]

Thank you Maurizio! I was so excited to show the Fang mask! What I purchased from you is priceless now! 😊

Happy Father’s Day my dad was black American and my mom is white American. My ancestry results were 58% Europe and 42% African. My patri clan african ancestry results traced back to the Fula and balanta of Guinea buissau.

Your fang like me ,MBOlo /hello my brother ,as for her statement about the benga ,well the benga and fang by blood are not cousins but we all are Gabonese nationalists and so because we are Gabonese then we are cousins in the sense that we are loyal to Gabon .

Hello there 👋 My nana (great grandma) is a McCullough… I wonder if we’re related 😀

[@DarrylMcCullough]

Hello! Great to hear! Not many McCulloughs out there. Yes! Maybe we are related! 😊

[@ericburgess4995]

Hi Darryl, I should maybe preface by saying I am western european. I am curious if you had considered testing Y-DNA? The autosomal tests are interesting but not very useful. The mitochondrial tests follow you maternal line but are no where near as precise or useful as your Y-DNA. While these tests are more expensive, you could precisely locate your paternal line on the human tree. As I recall Malcolm X gave himself X as a name as a placeholder untill he could determine his true heritage. Y-DNA can do this directly and will only get more precise as more people participate. Very interesting cultural heritage you have nonetheless.

[@DarrylMcCullough]

Thank you for viewing my video and your comments. Each step that I’ve taken thus far has given me more and more insight. It’s been fun and informative. I one day may consider the Y-DNA testing. 😊

[@ericburgess4995]

@@DarrylMcCullough I have been running a DNA project for about 8 years now for the Burgess surname and have come across members who have distinctly African Y-DNA. Unfortunately much less is known about these haplogroups because there isn’t enough data. I wish you the best on your journey and invite you to watch this video comparing different tests for African Americans : kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5CUpZqah8t7jqMsi=TzZFWQJJLBSxZHZf , regards.

Did african dna find you family members, aunts, uncles and cousins?

[@DarrylMcCullough]

Yes they did. However, not anyone that I didn’t know already.

[@leroybigs97]

She didn't mention what tribe of Gabon that you came from like she did with Jackson.

[@africaine4889]

She said Fang

[@celeste5607]

Thanks for sharing your results. Only 1/8 of your ancestry is is proven from Gabon. You still have to try and find out where the other 7/8 of your ancestry directly come from but that will take some serious research. I did 23&Me and also African Ancestry and used Family Search database to find the below: My Father's Paternal line - Egypt My Father's Mother's Paternal line - England My Mother's Paternal line - Egypt My Mother's Maternal line from Guinea Bissau My mother father's Maternal line - Germany I am still yet to find the other 3 direct lines: My Father's Mother's maternal line - will find this out soon My Father father's maternal line ? My mother's mother paternal line.? Still working on finding these.but have not be able to get any hits from any family members from all the DNA companies my DNA is with as yet but will hang in ther becaue it will happen.

[@exalteduchiha1563]

You’re not from Egypt lol. Don’t read too much into that shit. So many ppl get the same result of Egypt as you from all races and walks of life. Thing is the database is reading it wrong and giving you crap answers

[@celeste5607]

Did you take the male rear first or the test of your mother?

I took the test for my mother. She was thrilled with the results!

@@DarrylMcCullough okay, I'm taking the test the male one first because, I don't know my direct biological father in general. So, for me my biological father is the first then I'll like to take a test for my mother to surprise my siblings. I'll just have to on saving for my mother & this will be a lot of closure for us.
