[@nanaaraj]

It’s good to know you also have some Ghanaian in you. I’m Ghanaian too , but I’m going to do Heritage DNA because I want to explore more of my family history and not everyone is of one ethnicity realistically.

[@LaurelJade]

NA Music Ghana girls heyyyy💃🏾😂 Yes, that would be so interesting for you to find out! When you do it, please come back and let me know your results x

[@London_miss234]

You’re DNA matches closest to the samples taken from Benin/Togo. Segments of your DNA match the countries mentioned. Love your results.

[@LaurelJade]

Yes! Thank you so much for watching 💕

[@geoffrey2292]

Nice results. Many people of Fon and Yoruba origin (from Benin) but also Kongo origin (from Congo and Angola) were brought to Trinidad & Tobago so that could explained the large percentages. For the Ivory Coast/Ghana, it's maybe from your Jamaican side.

[@LaurelJade]

Windy City Assassin Hey, I have been doing some research and I think so too! Thank you ☺️

[@yahushuayah5485]

Benin/Togo all the way. Welcome back to the kingdom of Judah.

[@LaurelJade]

Yes! 😅

[@arifatupayne2544]

Benin nor Togo isn’t the kingdom of no Judah,it’s the kingdom of Dahomey and the birth place of vudon and Yoruba culture please don’t ever disrespect nor misrepresent my ancestors!

[@KCDisney1]

You are so cute!!! I love Jamaica, I am proud to be part of it. 🇯🇲

[@LaurelJade]

Thank you 😅 Me too, I love my Jamaican culture 🇯🇲💗

[@jamesjean7094]

The name of the country should not bother you. Same Tribes can be found in several countries. Ewes are found in Togo Ghana Benin. Akans are found in Ghana and Ivory Coast. You are West African pretty much the eastern part. Simple

[@LaurelJade]

James Jean nice 👍🏾

[@drsoniadavidson192]

Very interesting listening and watching you. Also interesting to meet someone from the Caribbean who does not have Nigerian ancestry .

[@LaurelJade]

Thank you so much for watching! 💕 So true, I find it so interesting (and a bit strange) that most people from the Caribbean who do this DNA test have Nigerian ancestry. I’m sure we can’t ALL have Nigerian ancestry right?

[@mewmangastv9337]

For cameroon it was bamileke bamoun (grassland people) and sawa people (coastal people) who was deported

[@qawahbanyashar6725]

Wow! Congrats on your results sista! Keep digging too you will find more! Beauty btw :)

[@LaurelJade]

Thank you, blessings! ☺️

[@qawahbanyashar6725]

Laurel Jade your welcome blessings!

[@mewmangastv9337]

I am cameroonian and they gives me 100%cameroon congo... but nigerian tribe could be identify as beninese or cameroonian in trinidad a lot of yoruba was deported and they can be linked with benin.you can see if you have african cousin that would be the best thing for you because we can tell you exactly our tribe and culture and it will be easier to you to understand

[@LaurelJade]

Mew Mangas TV Hey, wow that’s amazing that you’re results show that you’re 100% Cameroonian. It’s crazy because all the countries are so close to one another. Yes, I know about the Yoruba people in Trinidad. On my DNA Matches I have been linked with a few cousins that have African surnames. You’re right, I should send them a message and find out some more. Thank you 😊

[@mewmangastv9337]

@@LaurelJade you are welcome

[@boakaserjoli7610]

I'm also from the Republic of Congo in west Central Africa and mine comes as 100% Cameroon/Congo

[@karlos_infamous]

Just a question: In the Caribbean region, are black people (people who descend from West Africans who were enslaved by the European colonizers) called "Afro-Caribbean" or "Black Caribbean"? I also heard that in the 80's and 90's in the US, they were called "West Indian" because they came from the West Indies.

[@LaurelJade]

Hey Karlos, I think Afro-Caribbean is the correct term. Yep, that’s right about West Indian - also, it’s not only used in the US and is still a term used today synonymously with Caribbean to describe people from different islands across the Caribbean Sea, Guyana etc. Hope I helped 😊

[@caribdoll1800]

No we do not call ourselves Afro-Caribbean. That just started in 2020. We say West Indian or Caribbean. We know e have African in us we don’t need to put Afro in front. It’s actually annoying to people born in the Caribbean. Americans started saying that.

[@karlos_infamous]

@@caribdoll1800 hi, thanks for the info. i did my research and yes, "West Indian" is used more frequent instead of "Afro Caribbean". Also, I think the term "Afro Caribbean" arose from black Americans in the US because by 1988, Jesse Jackson told the black American community (those who descended from slavery during US colonial period) to call themselves "African Americans".

[@ebrown2434]

My. Dad is from Monserrat and grew up in Antigua instresting

[@LaurelJade]

Heyy, I think that seems to be quite common. I also have family members that did the same, since the islands are so close to one another. ☺️

[@Rudebwoy64]

I’m Montserratian to bro lol

[@JackBNimbletradez]

The results show you where the majority of ethnic groups, who have dna similar to yours, are concentrated today. It doesn't necessarily mean that's where those people are from originally. A lot of people migrated in and out of those regions in Africa.

[@LaurelJade]

Hey, I see - that's quite interesting to know. Thank you for your comment! 😊

[@JackBNimbletradez]

@@LaurelJade anytime

[@journeyofmylife2103]

Laurel Jade but please don’t also forget where the Caribbeans originally from because of most them were originally west Africans and they were slaves brought to the Caribbean!

[@therealspeciesunknown]

You asked an Important Question!!! How can You link DNA to a Geographical Location... MIGRATION???

[@LaurelJade]

The Real Species Unknown Hi there, can you please explain what you’re saying further please 🙂 let’s discuss...

[@therealspeciesunknown]

Example would be the fight between Palestine & Jerusalem. Who was there FIRST? 🤷🏽

[@LaurelJade]

Has anyone else ever done their Ancestry DNA? If so, what were your results like and did they have you shocked? If you haven’t done Ancestry do you have any guesses where you can trace your roots back to? Comment down below😀

[@reisanderson9069]

I did about 2 years ago they also just had an update to the results last month you should check yours my family is Jamaican and I got 88% African and 11% European

[@reisanderson9069]

Also did 23&me got same results

[@LaurelJade]

Reis Anderson I saw that they did an update, but my results didn’t change this time. If they do change in the future, I’ll definitely make an updated video! That’s awesome, what part of Africa was your highest percentage? I also want to do 23&Me, just to see if my results will also be the same/similar.

[@lei090704]

My mom and my grandmother did it and I was able to trace the place of origin my people have come from. It wasn't shocking at all because I always had a connection to Nigeria, I even found distant relatives that are from there today through a lot of research in the dna matches lol a lot. I'm igbo, fulani and many others.

[@LaurelJade]

That Black Lantern That is lovely. You should do it too - if you can, it is always interesting comparing your results with family. I also found some distant relatives, it’s amazing what they can do right? And it’s also pretty cool that you know your tribes/ethnic group.Thank you for watching ☺️

[@Rudebwoy64]

We might be related I’m Montserratian as well

[@LaurelJade]

We might just be hahaha, the island is so tiny. Hey cousin! 😂👋🏾

[@Rudebwoy64]

Lol big facts !! What last name you carry? And do you have snao

@@LaurelJade oh OK good because I’m about to shoot my shot lol do you have Instagram or anything?

[@LaurelJade]

@@Rudebwoy64 LOL, what's your family surname?

[@raymondmordi7937]

Nigeria lies between Benin/Togo and Cameroon/Congo and the results could well indicate that you are majorly Nigerian
