You clearly did not pick up on the fact that neither she nor any of her family behind are thrilled to know this. She's not going to say on camera, "Oh, crap." Come on, be real. Don't listen to her words, listen to her tone, and watch her face and the faces of those behind her. The are NOT happy.
Africans were Doctors, scientists,Spiritual Healers, educators and so forth before they were stolen from their land to become slaves in America . Just because you lack knowledge of Africans history doesn’t mean you can read the body language of others with skepticism or put your biases on other people just because if it were you. You would choose to be ashamed of something you don’t know much about. Africans were Kings and Queens. Educate yourself on African Kings and Queens before you boast about what others are not ashamed of.

@Ariel TaylorMO Right! Those people are clearly black and people in the comments are trying to deflect "grainy picture" "racially ambiguous" I also find it interesting that people see the African in him but not her. That man looks like my grandfather on my dad's side. I have to admit I laughed when they showed the picture because I didn't see where the mystery was.
Also.. the DNA indicates west and east Africa.. that's a lot for just one side. I'm black, but she has more variety of African DNA than me.. Genetics are so cool.
To be fair, she never said that they were wondering about it. She actually started out by stating conclusively that they are aware that they have some African ancestry. How they didn’t see that their grandparents in the photo were of mixed race, I don’t know.
If she’s Scottish, we could be related! Lol. I’m Scottish (Anderson) and Caribbean/African descent of my grandfather. My great grandmother was Irish and married a mixed race man
CherryBoo65 Boone since your from the Caribbean you probably don’t have Irish or Scottish blood it’s probably English because they were the slave owners on the islands. Also, Anderson is an English name not Scottish
@@trapkoala8901 it was a long story, he send his dna in before I send mine in 2 months apart. I was born and raised in Thailand for 14 years before I moved to the U.S. My dad was station in Thailand during the Viet Nam War and met my mother when she was working at the US army base in NE of Thailand. Not sure what was the main issued between them, and he left before the war is over. Make it short, almost 4 years now since we met and I surprised him with 3 grandchildren and he loved them all very much. He lives in Texas and we live in Virginia, we met about 3-4 times in person, mostly from video call. First ever email that I send to him was I asked him that if he knows my mother, he didn’t reply me with words, but send me pictures of my mother, my grandmother and some of family members that recognized them all. Then I send him another email and told him that “you know our DNA is matched as father and son”. He replied ” I know.” 😂 Yes, he was surprised 😇 and I was cry like a little kids for weeks, and couldn’t believe that God answers my prayers. ❤️❤️
I'm 1% Cameroon/Congo/South Bantu according to AncestryDNA. So is my mother. Its not surprising that a small bit of African DNA is there being my family is originally from the Southern United States. I'm sure a lot of people of mixed background that could pass for white disappeared into the general white population there. Rather ironic given how many of my ancestors fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War.
Yes, many passed as white. Life was a lot easier if you could blend, but from what I was told by elders, it was somewhat like going into the witness protection program. They had to limit communication with darker members to keep down suspicion.
@The Black Order They were promised freedom. The South was conflicted on this because they on considered blacks 3/5 of a man . The North did it much sooner and had no problem . In fact Sherman , who was indifferent to slavery , recruited the slaves as he burned down plantation houses.
@Robert W. Yeah, my ancestors stretch back to the late 1600s as well (Virginia originally). I read that most were indentured servants and at the time they were working side by side in the fields with Africans and there were no prohibitions on miscegenation until the mid 1700s. I'm also 2% Native American (97% European). I've read that the Cherokee did own African slaves as well. Could be another avenue for how it came to be in my family.
@Ryan Lajara I'm 97% European, 2% Native American and 1% African. I had heard of the Native American rumors in my family, but not the African. Yeah, I'm fair skinned, light brown hair and blue eyes. Everyone in my family is as well on both sides.

You know "slave" is not a derogatory term when referring to, well..., slaves! Furthermore, the word "captive" fail to describe accurately the condition. All slaves are captives but not all captives are slaves. Those words cannot be used interchangeably.
Very similar story to my lineage. The second I saw the picture of my great grandmother born in 1874 I knew she was of mixed heritage. My map of Africa was very similar. In the last ten years I have found out quite a bit about her.
Yeah same type of story here. Ive found from my moms dads side that someone passed as black (theyre from LA, and where they lived was the 'black neighborhood'). My mom, my sister, and I all have Benin, Togo. When i look at matches from that side. I see MANY people who are VERY close relatives who also have Benin, Togo. I just need to find out who haha
Great video, crazy that the whole clan of this woman was there like they were collecting an inheritance, and they did, deeper knowledge of their ancestry.
My great grandfather (white) got married to my great great grandmother (Black) in 1933 he used the “one drop” rule and said his great great grandfather was black so they stamped colored for both of them on the marriage license and they were able to have an interracial marriage lol

All the populations that you mentioned - North African, Italian, Greek, Jewish and Turkish, all have high percentages of African blood anyway. None of them were even considered white in this country - they were called "ethnics". So they began marrying the lightest women who would have them and now some of them call themselves white. But as the saying goes, "blood will tell..."
but they forgot to tell us who that person is! are they still alive?? did she & her family ever meet them??..or anyone else in the family of the person they connected her with?? where's Part 2?? 😱
My great grandmother used to say don’t be surprised what come out of the pot . She-was the first one born free in the United States after the Civil War on my mother side of the family.
Hispanics have lots of African in the mixture. Hispanic is not an ethnicity, its a combination. They didnt stay in the group together for long enough to become its own ethnic group.
Looking at her grandparents they look similar to my creole family they both look mixed or of multiracial decent♥️ Definitely can’t deny the African Ancestry. Beautiful story. I want to know more.

Now why y’all gone leave me hanging like this!! Where the rest of the clip I want to know the whole story now 😩 don’t start nothing if you can’t finish it😂
The British conquered many a nation, enslaved etc. They were on nearly every continent dominating countries. It therefore stands true that they would have sowed their seeds with many of the natives of these continents. Thus mixed races are all in the family.
When I was in high school, we found out we were getting a foreign exchange student from Zimbabwe Africa. We all expected someone "black". But when she arrived, she white. She looked a lot like Tatum O'Neil, the actress. I fell in love. At first, I thought that maybe that was the Ancestry link to her African roots.
I showed my mom her Irish cousin that popped up that was 100% European and she said "we should have a few drinks then" because the Irish in Philly are known for drinking big. Haha. She is 92% African and thinks it is so cool to have relatives besides black people. Hopefully, these tests will kill racism at least a little bit.
I’m half Puerto Rican and I have 6% Cameroon Congo and Western Bantu Peoples 2% Senegal 2% Nigeria and 1% Khoisan Aka and Mbuti Peoples according to Ancestry DNA.
I figured it came from the mothers side! Often times when searching black roots we hit a stop at the “father unknown” because that person is most likely a European!
multiculturalism worked in Europe long before the recent influx of immigration from other parts of the world. For example, you have traditions from France , Spain ,Greece and other parts of Europe in the UK. Some English words origjnated from Asia. Well, Multiculturalism worked quite well then.
@@AG-ev3hj no not at all! How can I forget how brilliantly awesome Britain is at colonialism.as for wars, well Britain isn't any more inclined to war than any other western European nation, America wins that award having been at war with someone every second week since 1783. Multiculturism and colonialism isn't the same thing, but we are fabulous at both. thanks for reminding us all.
I had gotten 2% Nigerian and 1% Benin/Togo and 1% Cameroon. I found out my great great grandma was 3/8 African American, and descended from Marie Therese Coincoin.
People need to do research. Sickle Cell isn't only through African Descent. The trait is also carried by South or Central American, Caribbean, Mediterranean (countries such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy), Indian, and Saudi Arabian descent. Sickle cell disease or trait also affects people of Caucasian descent.
I wanted to see a photo of her parent (child of the black grandparents). I’d also like to see what her African percentage was. I bet that it was quite high.
I like how she says she hopes he can help her find out where " that person" is in our family tree", as if in all the hundreds of years in her ancestry that it could only be 1 man. Turns out she may have African on several branches of her family tree. Robert is most like the product of a biracial mom and biracial dad. Not to mention, her grandmother looks biracial as well.
Beautiful how much she loves her African Ancestry.
I actually was surprised but I'm so glad that she was happy

strangely worded "Low quality of life"? Having Sickle Cell does no mean a low quality not life...use your words wisely
She's a very pretty lady - and she's not so young. But her face lights up the screen. Glad she found out what she wanted to know.
but they forgot to tell us who that person is! are they still alive?? did she & her family ever meet them??..or anyone else in the family of the person they connected her with?? where's Part 2?? 😱
She has a calming and relaxing voice like a sort an ASMR.
What's an ASMR?
"We believe we have African ancestry in our family." Yes, more than you know. Hahaha!!!
My great grandmother used to say don’t be surprised what come out of the pot . She-was the first one born free in the United States after the Civil War on my mother side of the family.
*gasp* is there no more to this clip? She's too cute. "What a daay."
sickle cell trait....south Asian...Caucasian from Southern Europe....Hispanic and Middle East can have the trait.
But most heavily distributed in West African Central African people.
Ironically the european group with the most sickle cell issues are Southern Italians AND WE ALL KNOW what happened with Carthage .
@Mary Smith James It is modern day Tunisia.
Yes, signifying people from those regions African ancestry as well.
Hispanics have lots of African in the mixture. Hispanic is not an ethnicity, its a combination. They didnt stay in the group together for long enough to become its own ethnic group.
Perhaps the most interesting reaction yet.
That's right dear "cousin" across the pond! Be proud of your African roots! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Looking at her grandparents they look similar to my creole family they both look mixed or of multiracial decent♥️ Definitely can’t deny the African Ancestry. Beautiful story. I want to know more.
This program is on TV sometimes so interesting Oh this is wonderful for their family Wow !
I don’t know if they’ll be invited to the bbq’s lol
Lilli L'amour lozlzzz they sure will bcz for then simple fact they seemed truly pleasant with their results !!!
Girl I found out I’m 16% African ive found out and I’m tryin to get my ticket to the bbq 🥰
jamilasalaam you probably can show up, not to sure they could
@@jamilasalaam Which test you take?
J Baron ancestry
@@jamilasalaam Upload your raw dna data results to 23& me for FREE.
You will get haplogroups which will tell you your maternal ancient lineage.
Plus if your mother's line is African too.
I love how excited and pleasantly surprised she is, but come on. Look at her grandparents. They were clearly of African descent.
Makes you wonder what their child (her mom or dad) looked like. I bet you the child favored the grandmother, and passed, then married a white person and that’s why this lady didn’t know.
So interesting. We match many White Americans and my family is a Nigerian immigrant family. Most have 1-5% sub Saharan African ancestry...😎
Especially in American south
The story can't end like this!!!!
Neat! So neat!
Where is the rest of the show?
Now why y’all gone leave me hanging like this!! Where the rest of the clip I want to know the whole story now 😩 don’t start nothing if you can’t finish it😂
I would like to see their cousins of color like that woman who found out she was a Creole on the Today show.
It’s fascinating how strong the african gene is! You can see it in their lips and noses.
Black people were in the UK way before windrush.
The British conquered many a nation, enslaved etc. They were on nearly every continent dominating countries. It therefore stands true that they would have sowed their seeds with many of the natives of these continents. Thus mixed races are all in the family.
The do have some African features....Their noses....Their facial structural definition...Glad they seem happy with the results....
P Grenton
There are so many Europeans with wide noses and do not have black ancestry.
@@peacegirlusa4761 but she does have black ancestry
When I was in high school, we found out we were getting a foreign exchange student from Zimbabwe Africa. We all expected someone "black". But when she arrived, she white. She looked a lot like Tatum O'Neil, the actress. I fell in love. At first, I thought that maybe that was the Ancestry link to her African roots.
Wow
Amazing
Is this a spoof? Why do people put any stock in this rubbish?
How can we help?
Just when it was becoming interesting!.. ! 😩
They have both Paternal AND Maternal lineage African ancestry! (Both).
Rose is Black as well.
Her grandparents were both passing as white but were actually both black.
I showed my mom her Irish cousin that popped up that was 100% European and she said "we should have a few drinks then" because the Irish in Philly are known for drinking big. Haha. She is 92% African and thinks it is so cool to have relatives besides black people. Hopefully, these tests will kill racism at least a little bit.
Where can I show entire video?
racism is from america dont u see shes happy and ok to be black
Carmen Cain no, racism is worldwide. It's not just an American thing.
If you believe that statement then you need to read more history. Slave trade wasn't started by Americans.
@@TheMariemarie16 hell the slave trade is alive and well in west Africa and some Arab countrys.
I agree with you
I agree
I’m half Puerto Rican and I have 6% Cameroon Congo and Western Bantu Peoples 2% Senegal 2% Nigeria and 1% Khoisan Aka and Mbuti Peoples according to Ancestry DNA.
I got 4%
Tina Cain I got 16% :)
I'm related to Cains on both sides of my family.... cousin?
@@ninastone9054 my dad was adopted from west Virginia he also isnt my real dad I never knew who my dad was. Mom met him from Washington.
PLEASE let us know where we can watch the full episode! I can not get that channel!
an African Captain 😥😥
It's always a prince or a king or a lord, never a lowly seaman or some bum.
Probably an African seaman.
Buster Biloxi 😂😂
@@busterbiloxi3833 lmao
It was probably a slave master, since they said the mother was black, 😄, these white people just don't want to admit the obvious
I figured it came from the mothers side! Often times when searching black roots we hit a stop at the “father unknown” because that person is most likely a European!
Adorable... multiculturalism still doesn't work though.
It's worked remarkably well in Europe for several thousand years
tweetie pie.. are you forgetting all the wars Britain had? And how many countries they invaded exactly?
multiculturalism worked in Europe long before the recent influx of immigration from other parts of the world. For example, you have traditions from France , Spain ,Greece and other parts of Europe in the UK. Some English words origjnated from Asia. Well, Multiculturalism worked quite well then.
@@AG-ev3hj no not at all! How can I forget how brilliantly awesome Britain is at colonialism.as for wars, well Britain isn't any more inclined to war than any other western European nation, America wins that award having been at war with someone every second week since 1783. Multiculturism and colonialism isn't the same thing, but we are fabulous at both. thanks for reminding us all.
@@tweetiepie551 and in the African continent!
she was like, "the black crept in" he was like, "no you black, black" Lol, love it.
I had gotten 2% Nigerian and 1% Benin/Togo and 1% Cameroon.
I found out my great great grandma was 3/8 African American, and descended from Marie Therese Coincoin.
I’d love to the rest of this conversation and a follow up
Rose looks like she has African heritage as well.
People need to do research. Sickle Cell isn't only through African Descent. The trait is also carried by South or Central American, Caribbean, Mediterranean (countries such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy), Indian, and Saudi Arabian descent. Sickle cell disease or trait also affects people of Caucasian descent.
This is lovely.
I wanted to see a photo of her parent (child of the black grandparents). I’d also like to see what her African percentage was. I bet that it was quite high.
Right? Me too! Cause the grandma also looks mixed. She probably had more European than him, but she still looked mixed as well
I like how she says she hopes he can help her find out where " that person" is in our family tree", as if in all the hundreds of years in her ancestry that it could only be 1 man. Turns out she may have African on several branches of her family tree. Robert is most like the product of a biracial mom and biracial dad. Not to mention, her grandmother looks biracial as well.
They couldn't tell the Great Grandmother was mixed just by the picture ? lolol
