This is something that everyone should do. I was told I have NA but I took the test and have none at all. Love how he said he wouldn’t show his daughter because the Internet is horrible, yes trolls are the worst. I did Ancestry first and then MyHeritage and mostly got similar results, the latter has a more specific breakdown. My test came out to be African (mostly Nigerian) European (Scandinavian, Greek, Finnish, and Irish), and Asian (East Asia somewhere in the area of Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines).

[@capline6595]

[@kitchfacepalm]

Hi. Just because no NA (or anything in particular) came up, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have forefathers who are not expressed in your particular DNA since each time (to make it very simple) you only inherit 50% of DNA from one parent and 50% from the other, so you can imagine that that process over several generations, especially if people are intermarrying in a cultural “melting pot” type environment, all kinds of DNA gets left behind. It doesn’t mean that the people in the past don’t exist as distant family, they just don’t exist in your specific DNA profile.

[@butyoucancallmesam]

Oddly enough, his parents “look” married. They’re cute together.

[@DR-rw5uq]

I was wondering why Kamau would do the research based on his DNA when both of his parents are still living. His parents' DNA would give him SO much more information than his own DNA. Glad to see in the preview that the parents are testing.

[@dezzyLmc]

[@chalabrooks5433]

Got mine tested first since I was the curious one. Lol!😁 If I would have waited on my Mama I would have been waiting for awhile. She was very stubborn about the whole thing. Didn't see the purpose and felt like we would still be called what society wanted to call us. (That's putting it lightly what she really said. 😂😜) It took me about a year to convince her.🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ So now hers, mine, my youngest son, and my Mom's oldest brother (85 years old & his revealed more) have all been done. So it is definitely worth it in the end.

Every African American is obsessed with having Native American in their ancestry, I feel like they are more interested to find out whether they have native than where do they really come from in Africa 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@DarlingNikki2]

Blame it on older generations pushing that narrative of having a Native American grandparent or great-grandparent when in reality it was likely a 'swarthy' European ancestor who they mistook for being Native American or were told they were Native American. There are probably more cases than we know of southern Europeans, particularly Italians, being identified as Native Americans in the family and then when the DNA results come back with higher than expected European results (especially if they're broken down into regions) then there are questions about great-great grandpa so and so. I've heard rumors that my family has Blackfoot Indian roots, but I've also heard that we have Greek blood as well somewhere 'down the line' as they say.

[@christlivesevangelism9824]

DarlingNikki2 true, I totally agree with everything you said :/ regardless of his ancestry, the guy and his family are beautiful

[@Tree-thingz]

Dane Calloway covers this topic. All brown skinned people were not enslaved. Additionally the African American identity has changed multiple times in the U.S. Why change our identity multiple times? What are they hiding about our true identity? I commend those who do the paper trail to trace their roots. I took this DNA test once and received updated results which changed drastically from their original findings. 🤨🤔. I will just say I'm from the lost tribe of Africa

[@Deltadivaix]

No they're not obsessed. Most African-American, black people (whatever you want to call us), don't really know where they come from. And it's always been the legend that we have Native American ancestry in us. So people can only say what they've been told. So I do think these tests are pretty fascinating as it helps people to better ascertain their lineage. When you add these tests in addition with your family tree and documents it really helps African-Americans / black people to get better understanding of their roots and their family tree.

[@1JewelOfTheNile]

People. Low DNA percentage points are just as significant as high. Low percents just mean, that particular ethnicity is earlier(further back) in your family tree. That means, typically, your ancestor was full blooded ______. The Ancestry.com site explains how the generation equates to the percentage.

[@no_peace]

Yeah people need to think of those percentages as EXTREMELY INACCURATE estimates that represent numbers of people in their tree. So if your result = 1/32 Chinese, then there was one Chinese person among the 32 people in your tree several generations back. One in thirty-two of your ancestors were Chinese. But... that 1/32 might actually show up as 0 - 5% depending on the dice you rolled, for several reasons. The percentages are absolutely not accurate representations of your actual ancestry, which you can see for yourself by having a sibling or parent do the test and comparing your results with theirs

[@1JewelOfTheNile]

wicious The percentages are accurate and typically coincide with a person's family tree. For those with enough living relatives. Mine did and family members. You just don't know enough about genealogy to make your assertion.

[@apgeneticgenealogylover6601]

Companies and third party sites like gedmatch can make mistakes based on how their algorithms are set and how adequate their reference data is.

[@1JewelOfTheNile]

APgeneticgenealogylover I understand what you are saying. But that wasn't a mistake. That percentage was accurate as of the prior reference population & algorithm. Their reference population expanded, in which the estimate they use had to change. Your family member still has traces of South Asia but the confidence level the company used, shrunk. Negating the need to put that in your updated DNA ancestry. In other words, it's complicated.
