My AncestryDNA Test Results Led Me to Jamaica To Meet My Family!

In 2017, I took an AncestryDNA test that led me to discover a whole side of my family I didn't know existed! In this video, I explain how it all happened, meet family members for the first time in real life, and go back to the land in Jamaica, where it all started.

I think this video is fascinating.I can recall some time ago it was featured about ancestry and they were saying that our jamaican ancestry could not be traced and classified us as rogue from Africa. And to hear you highlighting this is very encouraging. IF I could afford I would do an ancestry test. Other nations have painted a bad picture of us it's totally unfair. I think every well thi kink Jamaican should check out their ancestry.

So happy for you! Looks like an amazing experience. Also, your daughter has grown so much!! She's super cute.

This was beautiful to see❤

Thank you ❤

Amazing!!! In 2022 I was able to participate in something similar and connect with my grandmothers maternal side that I had no relationship with. It was beautiful and so important for African diasporic children like ourselves to connect with our ancestry ❤❤❤❤❤ thanks for sharing this journey

[@MsJacksonTravels]

That’s so beautiful you had the chance to connect too!! 💜 Couldn’t agree more on the cultural and even spiritual importance of knowing our family branches deeply. Learning about the history of my ancestors - and the women!! 😍 - has been unexpectedly empowering. Great reminder how far we’ve come and the source of our strength 💜

Nice I need too go to my families plot of land and Graveyard in St Ann’s what were your results?

[@MsJacksonTravels]

Yes definitely go! And if you can, go while you still have elders around who can share the stories and history. My ancestors were overwhelming from West Africa. The DNA matching on ancestry is how I connected with all these family members I didn’t know about.

@@MsJacksonTravels But what were the results exactly?

[@tahliah6691]

You are Jamaican Canadian

[@MsJacksonTravels]

OK . . . I'm fully aware of my identity

[@lordronn472]

You look little bit like East African(the most beautiful amongst Africans/black people)!

[@maaruz1979]

have you ever seen South African women

[@celticmulato2609]

Why? Is it because many have European or Middle Eastern phenotype?? Alot of Cushtic peoples are a mix of North Africans and Middle Eastern ancestry.

[@celticmulato2609]

​@@maaruz1979Are you referring to the Coloureds, aka. Mixed race peoples there or the real Black women or White or Asian South African??

[@tahliah6691]

Not true…. Jamaicans are west African… #westafricans….
