Wow!!! 2 months to get results... That is a long time. African Ancestry is really expensive. When I was looking up Ancestry tests it was way too much to even move forward with. So I did my own research. It was alot cheaper route for me. Thank you for sharing your results. Happy you got the results that you were Sierra Leonian!!! Peace be with you and your family...
Wow....we got similar results. The only difference is I got Kru people in Liberia. I was so excited too when I found out. It’s been so eye opening. It’s fun learning about all of the cultures. I wanna go to Senegal so bad now. It’s amazing.
My brother you are still African is just that slave master put a blockage on your Y chromosome and then they followed his bloodline and not your African ancestry and I’m from Charlotte North Carolina my ancestors we’re sharecroppers and slaves in York county South Carolina.
I don't know if the question you asked in the other thread was deleted by TH-cam or you. But all the replies are gone. To answer your inquiry, the database I had only has Yoruba, but they are genetically the same as Igbo, Akan, and Esan I'm told. No, there were no Nigerian results for the person in question. There was a close one I found on FamilyTreeDNA. What African Ancestry does is add all the numbers together to determine the "percentage". So adding up the numbers you'd get 128. Your bro's numbers was off by -1 for DYS393, making it 127. So using AA's result format I would say I found a Yoruba that was a 99.2% match.
@@Afrohistoryandtravel I know of 3 instances where people who got tested on FamilyTreeDNA turned out to actually be of African paternal lineage. African Ancestry is a fraud. You cannot pinpoint a tribe based on 8 STRs. If I took the eight STR numbers they gave you and entered them in a STR database I could see if you have any matches. There is still a chance you might actually be of an African lineage. I myself had 49 matches, split between 37 tribes, across 10 countries. No way they can state I'm one tribe over the others based on their 8-STR low resolution test.
@Tribal King You need to tell me the STR values for me to look. If you have posted them the comment must be shadow blocked cause it ain't showing up on my end. If you did post it and you can see it, open the comment in Incognito window (FIrefox) or logout/switch accts and see if you can still see it.
@Tribal King Those are E-P252 baseline values. African Ancestry would claim you are Ateke and Benga people of Gabon. Out of 2736 samples you had 4 Ateke and 2 Benga matches. I got 76 perfect matches total, split between 42 tribes, across 9 countries for you. Bantu (unspecified), Kuvale, Nyaneka-Nkhumbi and Umbundu of Angola Kalanga of Botswana Bissa, Kassena, Marka, Samo and Samoya of Burkina Faso Fang and Ngumba of Cameroon Mbala, Mbuun and Yansi of DRC Akele, Benga, Duma, Eshira, Eviya, Galoa, Kota, Makina, Ndumu, Nzebi, Obamba, Punu, Ateke and Tsogo of Gabon Bantu(unspecified) of Kenya Datoga and Hadza of Tanzania Bemba, Bisa, Kunda, Tonga, Fwe, Kwamashi, Lozi, Luyana, Mbukushu and Nyengo of Zambia Edit: I ran it thru another Ghana specific database and got 4 Mole-Dagbon, 2 Ga-Dangme, 1 Akan, 1 Guan, 2 Guang, 2 Ga-Agdanbe and 2 Ewe matches On FTDNA I have 12-STR matches that have different haplotypes going back to a common ancestor 4.5kya. This is before the Bantu Migrations or any of these tribes existed as they do today. This is why I have Middle East matches, because it's so long ago. This is why is is ridiculous for African Ancestry to claim they can pinpoint a modern day ethnicity with such a low level test. You need at least 25-STR match to show kinship within the last 500 years. African Ancestry's 8-STR test is meaningless and the results given are a blatant intentional lie on the part of Dr. Kettles. He is a genetics professor. He knows better. He is scamming people out of $300 bucks a test. An 8-STR test can't cost him more than $40 to run.
@@Afrohistoryandtravel Yeah that seems apparent after perusing over some of these AA vids... I actually took a test with 23andMe it already told me I had european ancestry from spain/portugal/england but it doesn't appear to be the oldest lineage according to their timeline going back to the 1630's. Being that African Ancestry goes back as far as 500-2000 years I kinda wanted THIS TEST to clear up some things concerning the pre colonial ancestral situation once and for all or least as far as 2000 years in the past is going to get me as I haven't seen a video comparing results from these two companies.
@@SparksOnTheRoad You can look for African names and search by countries in your DNA relatives of Ancestry to find where your ancestors came from. I've found 1 Wolof of the Lion clan, 4 Ewe and 6 Igbo relatives thru my father's test. So I know those are ethnicities I descend from. Best results would be with grandparents or older, but my grandparents are all dead. I'm going to have my mother take one to see what links come up on her side.
Congratulations on your MatriClan test results! 🇸🇱🇱🇷🇬🇼🇸🇳 That’s four countries that you share ancestry with and you’re entitled to dual citizenship with Sierra Leone. As far as your PatriClan test results being Portugal 🇵🇹, it’s because of white slave owners abusing and exploiting enslaved black women and 35% of black men having a European Y-chromosome as a result of the slave trade. You can still test your other lineages by asking your father to do a MatriClan test and get an African result.
@ Congratulations! I’m looking to obtain dual citizenship in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 by testing my father’s maternal line and see if it traces to any of the ethnic groups from there. If all else fails, I have Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 to fall back on and apply for dual citizenship over there since my PatriClan test linked my lineage to there.
L0 lineages are most common in South Africa and south east with Khoisan and hunter-gatherers including pigmies. That's pretty messed up they sent you this nonsense.
Congratulations welcome my brother !from one Liberian to another!!🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thanks family

Wow that’s amazing you definitely should visit Senegal 🇸🇳 such a beautiful country with very friendly people and great food. I can’t wait to return.
Also subscribe if you haven’t already I have videos of my trip to Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
@@Afrohistoryandtravel Oh wow....you’ve been already. I’ll subscribe......Its like were cousins... 😂
Wow!! My Father’s mom is Kru!!❤❤❤ Welcome Sis!!🎉🎉
4:36 wow 4... Fula, Mende ,Mandinka and Kpelle.- Guinea Bissau, Sierra Leone, Senegal and Liberia. Matriclan
The Mende people have a great culture.
Yes indeed
6:07 😂😂 rape is serious but the way he said it is funny! 😂😂
What percentage African did you get?
100 percent of each
If you don’t mind me asking where did your fathers side come from in America?
Baton Rouge, Louisiana

@@prettyboyterianoabioye4833 Yes brother it’s sad that they forced themselves into our lineage

@@auxiliaryaccount808 Thank you so much I was hoping for Igbo but at Least i came out African couldn’t complain About it.
It's a 35% chance of European result. 60% chance of African results.
Have you ever done a AncestryDNA test or 23andMe?
WELCOME TO SIERRA LEONE 🇸🇱
Thanks family
Why my boy sounded so defeated when his paternal side had Portuguese DNA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 that was real defeat!
