All you people claim African through DNA test are idiots, that woman is 100 years old and her parents told she was Indian she native she not African. DNA test is psuedo science.
101 what a beauty queen! And her granddaughters are just as beautiful! How awesome is that to still have your grandma and be able to share such beautiful memories! I sort of want to do mine but still on hold Thanks for sharing! I know many families are doing it!
Me too! I used to sit when a 100 year old woman. Her mind was so sharp, She was like a living history book. People who ignore the elderly don't know what they are missing out on.
No you don't.! Would you want to hear stories of how your Mum was spat on as a child on her way to school, because she wasn't quite white, not red enough for some, not white enough for others? My wife is not black or white enough for some, but I believe, our son will someday, become a leader, with these benchmarks as the standard of equality. Good artist too...
@@iscovidoveryet7828 regardless of the fact that my grandfather endured hardship because of the colour of his skin I still enjoyed listening to stories from his childhood and I believe the same goes for this lady. Stories help us understand whether it’s good or bad.
If you're a Christian or Jewish!? you'll know we are all descended from Noah and his wife and before that Adam and Eve, so apart from that I personally wouldn't trust having my DNA on record .
Grandma has lots of DNA from all over Africa!!! What a great lady she is. You guys are so blessed to have this time with her. At 101 years of age, can you imagine all the things this lady has seen? What a treasure it is to have living history right there with you.

She's not 88% african the dna test said she's not native american cuz it compares her genes to mongolian asian phenotype. But the aborginal ppl of turtle island are "black". They found skulls and statues that are of "black ppl. The 1828 Webster dictionary meaning of american is aboringie of america belonging to the copper color races which are black ppl. Don't be swayed by the new one drop rule. Aka DNA test
@@allenbullock5 HUH? Her DNA matches with people from Africa. Native Americans have a unique DNA. Any black person in America will have their DNA trace back to Africa. Yes indigenous Americans are dark, but they are not black afro type. They are dark red straight hair types. Where are these so called black native people you are talking about then? Because any black person who gets tested in America is going to come back African. Thats because yall are from Africa.
Blessings to your grandmother. The confusion that comes with the DNA tests is that the companies use the Asian-Native American as a criteria for what's the American Indian blood type. Hundreds of years ago the American Indian looked like your grandmother, not the Asian American. This has been documented. That's why 'Black' grandparents said they were Indian. Not because they were mixed with Asians. You also have to be careful of the testing companies, they said they're just guessing and it's for entertainment purposes.
Love this! We did my 94 yr old black American grandfather’s DNA. He’s been told about Native American blood. He was about 80% African American but ZERO Native blood. We knew there was some European in there but we had no idea it was from Finland and Scandinavia.
So cool. My grandmother lived to be 100. My great grandmother was 100% African (23andMe)) And her great grandfàther was born in Africa. (U S census) I also knew my maternal grandfather's mother who was Choctaw. I miss them all. God bless your family.
Melanined Europeans.... not wight!!!!🧐 that's why it's a saying "If you want to hide info ect. put it in a book and a so-called black or so-called african American will will not seek enlightenment.🤔 By words we calling ourselves not fully overstanding. west coast of Africa, Ivory Coast and slave Coast . Many names and the same place.🧐 Melaninated jews and Melanin Europeans populated these places ... Not ; wight😔dive in to Portugal and Spain start of the Inquisition then it will all make sense.... shalawam 🙌😇🙌haya haya
Her DNA is equivalent to her having 3 grandparents who were pure African and the 4th grandparent being half African, quarter European, and quarter Native American. But her actual ancestry is no doubt more complicated than that, such as her European ancestry is probably from 2 or 3 lines further back rather than 1 line.
Lol grandma did not found out anything she knew just what she was Indian, that text is fake her mother told her what she was she is Indian. people really thing the white man is God her can tell you what you are sad
Your Grandma knew she was African. My Grandma was 76% African and was so happy. She gave the Native American story and it was a cool 0% with the rest being European. I’m 86% African.
Keep in mind that you can have Native American and it not show because very often the ancestor was mixed.(so decades later the percentage is negligible).
@@loribihlcox5944 Then it's not relevant. Why are you reaching? Black people have been in America for 400 years. If you had a Native American ancestor it would likely show up.
@@MrAmhara ,it might also show up for one relative but not for another. I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just reminding everyone that a DNA test is testing a sampling of your DNA. Native American doesn't apply to me.
@MrAmhara, not necessarily. My mom had/has Greek, west Asian and Finnish in her heritage. I had none of those. Also my mom had zero English, mine was/is 70% English.
My grt grt grandmother lived to be 103. I wish she could have been here today so I could get her DNA tested. Your Grandmother looks amazing for her age. You have a real treasure.
I just ran across your video with your wonderful grandmother. It looked like y'all have a wonderful family. It sure would have been fun to see some photos of her and her parents if any were available. I love old family photos. You're so lucky to have her and I bet she is a lot of fun. Not to mention a real history lesson for us old. Thanks for sharing.
Black people occupied Europe before the invading albinos from Central Asia!!!! Black's left Europe when the albinos (Caucasian's) were being chased out of Asia by Asiatic Mongoloids under Genghis Khan! Europe does not mean white!!!!
Most people have to understand, back in her day Black girls were raped by White men and nothing was done about it. It was a common thing if they worked in a White household. Strom Thurmond for example. It happened all the time, but no one talks about it. It was a shameful thing that happen. That's why it bothered her and she got a little uncomfortable around the collar.
Your grandma is such a precious sweetheart! And you are so so blessed to have her still with you! Thank you for sharing your DNA adventure with us it's always so interesting to see the results. And it just goes to show you know we all are very curious about our roots
That's right timbuktu has a lot of history. when you read a the book called Babylon to timbuktu it explain in detail where are people are original from
Mickey F'in Mouse you are right. The Mande people are originally from the Empire of Mali. A lot of the Mande migrated west on something called the Mane Invasion in 15th Century after the Empire of Mali went into decline and the Empire of Songhay became a successor State. That invasion is how so many Mande people ended up in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, which is where many of them were enslaved during tribal warfare and sent to the Americas. Some of the Mande groups that were enslaved were the Mende, Mandingos, Susu, Vai, Loko, Kpelle and others.
AB Original Right n Exact AB... they fail to comprehend that there are the Siberian Mongoloid Native Americans and the 9 Ether Melanoid/Negroid Aborigine American. 2 clearly different groups of Americans. How are they going to challenge and discard Grandma's history and denote it to Africa. Did they even ask grandma does she have family from Africa? Any relatives? Or even heard of relatives from Africa. Walter Plecker's reclassification policy did a number on us and the simple minded offspring today is perpetuating it...smgdh. Umm excuse me if you've been here for thousands of years this is home let's cut the dumb sh*t ppl. I mean we are Negroids and obviously we are going to have similarities but please understand, "DNA kits are good for connecting family members and finding relatives thats it! An Ethnicity test isn't concrete. Theres nothing that confident for ethnicity. There are no diagnostic nucleotides to tell you a person is from Europe or Africa." Stated by Dr. William Gilliland Associate Biology professor of DePaul Univ. Peace King
Your results show if you thought you are of Mexican / latino heritage, you are correct. Mexicans are native to the land. Mexicans and Spanish people are different. One from Europe, the other being native like all other Native Americans. The Mexican people are the most torn down people in all of history because they were striped of their native languages, and were told that our decendants were all dead, which is not true. In your dna, if it says native american, it could include Mexican history as well. My husband is FULL blood Navajo. My mom tested her dna before me, and my husband and my mom are 8th generation cousins. In a way, I am related to my own husband. Because we are the same people. My own father speaks Nahuatl. He passed away unfortunately so I am unable to retrieve a dna test. But I took one myself and in my own, I got 80 percent native american/mexico. Because we are the same people. My mom says my father was full blood, too. I believe it. My mom is maybe 60 percent native american/mexico. You can find more about what you are in more depth if you download the raw data and input it into dnamatch. I don't understand the reason people think Mexicans don't like to hear they are part black. I already know everyone gets that result. It is in the bible, too.
Ok there are alot of things to point out here. 1. before Mexico gained it's independence from Spain it was filled with many indigenous peoples like North and South America for thousands of years and none of those peoples were "Mexicans" they had their own distinct cultures. 2. Most native american peoples are related to siberian and eastern asian peoples because of the Bering land bridge migration. There is so far only 1 piece of evidence pointing to any human activity in North America before 12,000 years ago when this migration took place. 3. DNA and historical evidence shows that most people descended from Africans who were brought to the Americas had closer ancestry to Europeans than the native tribes because of the proximity. This is also the case for many latin peoples including modern Mexicans who are mostly of European Spanish descent. The huge influence and expansion of the Spanish almost completely eradicated many of the natives during the Small Pox epidemic. Many African and Spanish people do not have significant DNA matches to other native people compared to many of the European colonizers who settled in the original 13 colonies. There was much more intermingling and contact between these groups than in South and Latin America where the Spanish attempted to eradicate the native populations. Many of the native tribes were typically either slave holders themselves, or they returned runaway slaves to the colonies as there were rewards for doing so. If you have African portions of your DNA it is probably more recent and most likely happened after the end of the Civil War when many former slaves began moving westward. It should also be mentioned that ALL humans are said to have come from Africa and migrated to areas like Annatolia, Asia, Europe and the Middle East so at some point we are all related. 4. This is all about science and data please refrain from using biblical references. It is appropriate in other scenarios but this isnt one of them. The Hebrew bible was not even written during the period that it's events occurred in and archeological evidence shows many of the events portrayed in the bible never occurred in the first place like Solomon building the Temple in Jerusalem or the existence of kingdoms in Israel in the first place. It is theorized that the 12 tribes and their kings were more akin to warlords like Gilgamesh in Sumerian legend.
Loved this video. Your grandma is adorable! I’m waiting on my results now. I guess another two weeks. My daughter has already gotten her results back in January and now it’s my turn!
Oh my Dear!!! Thank you for sharing with US this video full with #LOVE . Your GRANDMOTHER is the ⭐️ of the show! I observed the way you both YoungLadies, spoke the Her. How CLEAN she was dressed, her skin looking healthy. But most of all, the RESPECT you both have for her! The LOVE... 🙏🏽God Bless GrandMother... And, 🙏🏽God Bless your whole Family... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Awwww this was great!! My friend suggested that I did my grandmother's and I was about to give her my kit and I didnt...she passed shortly after. I wish I did it. Glad you got to do it for yours this is wonderful. I'm happy that it did show the native American. There have been many Nay sayers about it not showing in African Americans. I feel like if you have it it's going to show.
This is awesome! I just tested my 102 year old grandmother today with a MyHeritageDNA kit. It’s getting mailed out in the morning and we can’t wait for the results. So happy for you and your grandma! 3% Native American for your grandma would be a great great grandparent.
OMGoddess!! thank you for this positive sharing of grandma Birthday DNA much love to you family for being inspirational. HAPPY EARTHDAY GRANDMA , WE LOVE YOU, HUGGS AND KISSES. These are our family members and respectfully we share the same blood line. I've not done my as of yet but I'm now inspired to do so for my Earthday celebration with a video of my own.
Jasmine.....now that I'm a senior citizen I find I REALLY miss the elders I looked up to all my life. The thought that now I'm an elder and I have a responsibility to young folks scares me.....
So glad you shared your Grandma's results. I wish I had some my grandmother's while she was alive. She lived to 99 (just 84 days short of 100). I would be interested to see how her sister's results differ. I love genealogy, but I have not had to research any in Africa yet. I am however doing my niece's husband. He is a descendant of a slave unfortunately. I am waiting for the price to be reduced again before getting his DNA sample done. I have no doubt it will make a difference when researching his story. Thx again for sharing.
@Carolynska S DNA doesn't work as easily as that. In every pregnancy there is a different mix of genes. Siblings usually inherit a different set of genes from each other. You have two parents,four grandparents, eight great grandparents, sixteen great great grandparents, you can see where I'm going with this.😂 Every child will have a unique mixture of inherited genes, so you will not be axactly the same as your siblings. Sometimes I imagine you could be very different from your brothers and sisters, that's what makes it fascinating. My brother has had a DNA test, I have sent for one. I'm looking forward to seeing the result. Another factor is the fact that mitochondrial DNA is only passed down from mother to daughter, the Y chromosome is only passed down from father to son.
You can still do it ,if you watch Who do you think you are?(BBC), you do it via records, it's not as fast but it's still there ,I'm what's called white! but I don't know half my ancestry ,the records were burned in Ireland in the 1920s, so I'll never know that way.
G. Simmins Thank you for your comment. She maybe apart of that population. However, I have heard of people on my dad’s side speak of Gullah and the term Geeche (not sure how to spell it), and they are from South Georgia.
How sweet that your grandma made it to see 101 years old! I wish my grandmother was still alive to know that this technology is now in effect for us to find out who we are. My grandmother told me that I had native American in our family on her side. I don't know what that percent is however I'm quite sure she would have found out the rest. My dad took the DNA test and told my daughter that his ancestral line was of the Kroo tribe in Africa.
Grandma is so BEAUTIFUL! LOVE AND CARE FOR HER THE BEST YOU CAN. JUST LOST MINE ... at 93 1/2 years old! WE WERE BLESSED TO HAVE HER SO LONG! Beautiful video. enjoyed sharing with your family!
I love your grandmother - she seems so kind and genuine ❤ You and your family are lucky to have her. Thank you for sharing her and your interactions with TH-cam - it warmed my heart.
I believe that the Asian/Pacific Islander could be counted towards her Native American ancestry (since I don't see any other way it could've gotten in there), so your cousin was right on the money with her percentage prediction!
@@bulldogbrower6732 Just wanna point out that "Native Americans" didn't cross the Bering strait. That is like saying French people wandered out of Africa and through the middle east. The ancestors of Native Americans may have crossed the Bering strait, but modern Lakota, Dine, Haudenosaunee, Salish, and people of the other >1200 tribes of North America did not.
Then by that logic Europeans are African claiming there Asian means nothing they lived in the Americans they have nothing to do with Asia there indigenous in the americas that's all you need to know
You all are blessed. I wish I had the opportunity to give my grandmother a DNA test. My DNA results % were made of African, Polish, Native American and 5% unknown. Both my grandmother and great-aunt (sisters) look like Indians: they had the almond eyes, high & wide cheek bones, naturally straight black hair and very prominent red under skin tone. In retrospect: remembering them alive and now their pics, I still did not expect Native American % results. I have so many questions I want to ask them but they’re no longer here. 😞 You’re blessed to have a living grandmother. Please always cherish her while she’s here.
My daughter had some "unknown" In hers too I have not had mine done yet however I think the "unknown" factor is fascinating like what's that even mean?? I can't wait to do mine :) do you have a suggestion for a company I should go for ?? (DNA TEST)
May The Most HIGH bless your grandmother... my results were somewhat similar my main ethnicity was 90% African 2% Native American my other 8% was trace regions 5% European 3% West Asia what area of the country is yall Grandmother from?
That's almost the same as my Aunt. My Aunt tested at 91%west Africa 1.8% Native American 3% South Asia, 3% polynesia the rest was Europe. My Father couldn't be tested, because he's deceased unfortunately. I'm half Korean, so my of course my Ancestry is going to come up different. But when my Aunt revealed those results to me, I was so proud! Not many can boast that high of African DNA (90%) or over! And to have it confirmed that we infact do have Native ancestry is also a very positive thing!
yes my family is from the Sea Islands of South Carolina St. Helena Island, SC Edisto Island, SC Rantowles, SC Adams Run, SC Ravenel, SC Jedburg, SC Summerville, SC Ridgeville, SC Manning, SC and Allendale, SC
Gullah Hebrew your name is somewhat of an oxymoron seeing that there were no Jews a midst the Gullah African enslaved population, nor is there any record of Hebrew or Aramaic words in the Gullah Creole language. I am from the South Carolina low country where the Gullah culture is existent, bordering the Midlands. I even have a copy of renown Afro-American linguist’s book Lorenzo Dow Turner Africanisms in the Gullah language that has a detailed analysis of the large Gullah lexicon of West African, and West Central African loan words, and the New Testament printed in Gullah creole. I mean a midst your European percentages do you have European Jewish estimates? I know Charleston had a large white Sephardic Jewish community that settled there during South Carolina’s colonial era, and some of them interbred with their slaves, & some mulattoes came abroad slave ships enslaved and free of Portuguese Jewish paternity & West African mothers, but I know of no West African Jews beyond this sold.
+Custodian of the Golden Stool The real Hebrews are so called "Black" sir. Please do your research, before making a complete a$$ of yourself. Read Deuteronomy 28 of the bible; God doesn't lie.
I totally believed she had a higher percent of Native American. Her facial structure looks very Native to me. Guess you never know!! By the way, you guys all seem so sweet & happy!! Congratulations on living past 100!! Thanks for sharing your story & family history!!
@Lil Dudy you know you didnt make any sense ...right? Hes complaining that she didnt have more that what he thought she would have ....sounds like he is dissapointed ...Alot of African Americans. Are believing they are Native American ....when that is not true ....this lady however does do to the fact Native Americans usually adopted into the tribe African peoples on certain occasions ...sometimes slaves were bought and married with ....sometimes runaways would be taken in and adopted as a member ....this did not occur on a large scale .....
@wade zack bullshit. The Modern Native americans have proved to be nothing bur mixef Asians! They are NOT indians. We are tge true an aboriginal indians of this land. We wrre always here. But we are not Natinve American. The names have been deliberately confused. Natives are NOT indians. They are just Natives who came across tge bearimg straight 12k yrs ago. But we were here long b4 that. We've always been on this land...
My grandmother (98 & proud of it) told me, I'm a "fool to waste my money if I waste money on that mess" She also informed me that she knows full well who her all her people are & if I want to know all I have to do is ask her. She proceeded to ask me what difference is any of that going to make, wanted me to know it's not going to change a thing about who a person is or how they are to anybody. I Love and fear the woman with Damn GOOD REASON!
Alotbof elders have little genetic secrets and lies they need to uphold and DNA tests threaten that. Don't anyways. It always great to see how far humans have come and blended.
Tha 'how they are to anybody' is agood point. How you treat othersis a bigger thing than our genes. They are your gifts, your talents: How you use them?
Ive researched a lot of my family history as an African American. My thoughts are that, because of the pain of what often went on. people masked the obvious. So, being forced into "sexual situations" with Caucasians sometimes was "covered by saying that people had Native Ancestry". Natives too were persecuted by the majority culture and yes there was "some mixing". But, the so called 5 Civilized Tribes also owned slaves themselves and some practiced their own brand of discrimination. And they fought often times to keep African slaves from being identified as Native. So, after doing the research, a lot of Native ancestry actually turned out to be European ancestry by way of Slave Masters (or others) mixing sexually with slaves. I totally understand why this information might get suppressed. There was a lot of shame, division, and rejection by some within the Black community because of the affects of "Color-ism" on the community. But DNA simply tells the truth and clarifies without filtering. Cherish your grandma while she is with you and gently collect as much information from her as you can. The oral history together with the science will bring a more complete nuanced understanding.
It needs to be understood. That your SMALLEST percentages mean YOUR EARLIEST ANCESTORS and the LARGEST PERCENTAGES means YOUR LATEST ancestors. So think about it like this, your lineages STARTED NATIVE AMERICAN and got Africanized. You were Native Americans who got Europeanized then Africanized. Most of us read these DNA in reversed. What your reading is actually how your Asian/Pacific Islander ancestry was "Black washed" so to speak.
My mom is 87 and dementia is taking her. I wish my mom's mind was still as sharp as hers. She is a beautiful lady. She does not look her age ! She got some good genes going on there ❤
I have so much love for y’all for doing this with your grandmother because I was a tad bit too young to understand the value before my grandmother and greats passed away
What a privilege to have your grandma at that age!...

Love this! We did my 94 yr old black American grandfather’s DNA. He’s been told about Native American blood. He was about 80% African American but ZERO Native blood. We knew there was some European in there but we had no idea it was from Finland and Scandinavia.
Hahaha
So cool. My grandmother lived to be 100. My great grandmother was 100% African (23andMe)) And her great grandfàther was born in Africa. (U S census) I also knew my maternal grandfather's mother who was Choctaw. I miss them all. God bless your family.
Wow that's awesome!
More important you have love in your family she's like 16% cute 14% sweet 32% smart 45% grandma add that up that's what you get 100% American grandma
Lol😂you can just say grandma bud
"You're European" "What's that?" "White!" "😑" 🤣🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂😂
It's ok grandma we don't know who these people are too
😂😂😂😂
Melanined Europeans.... not wight!!!!🧐 that's why it's a saying "If you want to hide info ect. put it in a book and a so-called black or so-called african American will will not seek enlightenment.🤔 By words we calling ourselves not fully overstanding. west coast of Africa, Ivory Coast and slave Coast . Many names and the same place.🧐 Melaninated jews and Melanin Europeans populated these places ... Not ; wight😔dive in to Portugal and Spain start of the Inquisition then it will all make sense.... shalawam 🙌😇🙌haya haya
Bit cheeky of the old lady with that response! I'm very proud of my European DNA. It's who I am.
Awesome that your grandmother is 101. Her is reaction is priceless! Congratulations on the results.
Her DNA is equivalent to her having 3 grandparents who were pure African and the 4th grandparent being half African, quarter European, and quarter Native American. But her actual ancestry is no doubt more complicated than that, such as her European ancestry is probably from 2 or 3 lines further back rather than 1 line.
I’m glad Nana got to find out, Bless her 😊♥️
Your Grandma looks like my dad the same features
Lol grandma did not found out anything she knew just what she was Indian, that text is fake her mother told her what she was she is Indian. people really thing the white man is God her can tell you what you are sad
@@kishaarbee1640 that's women do not look indian she looks African American stop this fake indian bs y'all on
101 years old. Pretty neat!
Your Grandma knew she was African. My Grandma was 76% African and was so happy. She gave the Native American story and it was a cool 0% with the rest being European. I’m 86% African.
Keep in mind that you can have Native American and it not show because very often the ancestor was mixed.(so decades later the percentage is negligible).
@@loribihlcox5944 Then it's not relevant. Why are you reaching? Black people have been in America for 400 years. If you had a Native American ancestor it would likely show up.
@@MrAmhara ,it might also show up for one relative but not for another. I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just reminding everyone that a DNA test is testing a sampling of your DNA. Native American doesn't apply to me.
@MrAmhara, not necessarily. My mom had/has Greek, west Asian and Finnish in her heritage. I had none of those. Also my mom had zero English, mine was/is 70% English.
@Car S, thanks for your comment. The results are a little head-scratching.
DAMN SHELOOKS GOOD for 101.
BLACK DON'T CRACK.
Yes they do
Dude she looks old
I feel like people are to heavy on that phrase cuz some black people do crack
She looks brittle as a drumstick wtf do you mean🤣
My grt grt grandmother lived to be 103. I wish she could have been here today so I could get her DNA tested. Your Grandmother looks amazing for her age. You have a real treasure.
I just ran across your video with your wonderful grandmother. It looked like y'all have a wonderful family. It sure would have been fun to see some photos of her and her parents if any were available. I love old family photos. You're so lucky to have her and I bet she is a lot of fun. Not to mention a real history lesson for us old. Thanks for sharing.
your grandma looked so mad when you said shes more European than native American lol it was so funny
Black people occupied Europe before the invading albinos from Central Asia!!!! Black's left Europe when the albinos (Caucasian's) were being chased out of Asia by Asiatic Mongoloids under Genghis Khan! Europe does not mean white!!!!
Okaysana lol
Lol
Okaysana I saw that to
Most people have to understand, back in her day Black girls were raped by White men and nothing was done about it. It was a common thing if they worked in a White household. Strom Thurmond for example. It happened all the time, but no one talks about it. It was a shameful thing that happen. That's why it bothered her and she got a little uncomfortable around the collar.
Your grandma is so adorable!
She is so dignified and cute at the same time. Be thankful for her. Would love to have my grandmas with us still. Thanks for the video
Bless her grandmother's heart for doing this video! Stay blessed ❤❤❤
Your grandma is such a precious sweetheart! And you are so so blessed to have her still with you! Thank you for sharing your DNA adventure with us it's always so interesting to see the results. And it just goes to show you know we all are very curious about our roots
Bless her heart, she is so adorable
Mali. Home of Timbuktu, the center of learning. Many migrated west and got caught up in the slave trade.
That's right timbuktu has a lot of history. when you read a the book called Babylon to timbuktu it explain in detail where are people are original from
Mickey F'in Mouse you are right. The Mande people are originally from the Empire of Mali. A lot of the Mande migrated west on something called the Mane Invasion in 15th Century after the Empire of Mali went into decline and the Empire of Songhay became a successor State. That invasion is how so many Mande people ended up in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, which is where many of them were enslaved during tribal warfare and sent to the Americas. Some of the Mande groups that were enslaved were the Mende, Mandingos, Susu, Vai, Loko, Kpelle and others.
Your grandma is so cute. Lots of African american say they got some native american in them and it turns out to be not true.
AB Original Right n Exact AB... they fail to comprehend that there are the Siberian Mongoloid Native Americans and the 9 Ether Melanoid/Negroid Aborigine American. 2 clearly different groups of Americans.
How are they going to challenge and discard Grandma's history and denote it to Africa.
Did they even ask grandma does she have family from Africa? Any relatives? Or even heard of relatives from Africa. Walter Plecker's reclassification policy did a number on us and the simple minded offspring today is perpetuating it...smgdh.
Umm excuse me if you've been here for thousands of years this is home let's cut the dumb sh*t ppl.
I mean we are Negroids and obviously we are going to have similarities but please understand, "DNA kits are good for connecting family members and finding relatives thats it!

NY Cpreme Thank you for pointing this out. We have to respect the oral tradition and our ancestors. They know / knew who we are.
AB Original exactly! They (commonly thought of as American Indians)are OTHER Native Americans NOT the only original Aboriginal Americans.
This made me miss my grandma so bad 😔❤️
Ahhhh 😍😍😍 I love her SOOO MUCH!! Her voice is as precious as she is!! What a beautiful group of ladies here 🤗
You all are so sweet to do this for your Grandma. You know she had fun.
Your results show if you thought you are of Mexican / latino heritage, you are correct. Mexicans are native to the land. Mexicans and Spanish people are different. One from Europe, the other being native like all other Native Americans. The Mexican people are the most torn down people in all of history because they were striped of their native languages, and were told that our decendants were all dead, which is not true. In your dna, if it says native american, it could include Mexican history as well. My husband is FULL blood Navajo. My mom tested her dna before me, and my husband and my mom are 8th generation cousins. In a way, I am related to my own husband. Because we are the same people. My own father speaks Nahuatl. He passed away unfortunately so I am unable to retrieve a dna test. But I took one myself and in my own, I got 80 percent native american/mexico. Because we are the same people. My mom says my father was full blood, too. I believe it. My mom is maybe 60 percent native american/mexico. You can find more about what you are in more depth if you download the raw data and input it into dnamatch. I don't understand the reason people think Mexicans don't like to hear they are part black. I already know everyone gets that result. It is in the bible, too.
Shut your inbred ass up
Yall racist
Ok there are alot of things to point out here.
1. before Mexico gained it's independence from Spain it was filled with many indigenous peoples like North and South America for thousands of years and none of those peoples were "Mexicans" they had their own distinct cultures.
2. Most native american peoples are related to siberian and eastern asian peoples because of the Bering land bridge migration. There is so far only 1 piece of evidence pointing to any human activity in North America before 12,000 years ago when this migration took place.
3. DNA and historical evidence shows that most people descended from Africans who were brought to the Americas had closer ancestry to Europeans than the native tribes because of the proximity. This is also the case for many latin peoples including modern Mexicans who are mostly of European Spanish descent. The huge influence and expansion of the Spanish almost completely eradicated many of the natives during the Small Pox epidemic. Many African and Spanish people do not have significant DNA matches to other native people compared to many of the European colonizers who settled in the original 13 colonies. There was much more intermingling and contact between these groups than in South and Latin America where the Spanish attempted to eradicate the native populations. Many of the native tribes were typically either slave holders themselves, or they returned runaway slaves to the colonies as there were rewards for doing so. If you have African portions of your DNA it is probably more recent and most likely happened after the end of the Civil War when many former slaves began moving westward. It should also be mentioned that ALL humans are said to have come from Africa and migrated to areas like Annatolia, Asia, Europe and the Middle East so at some point we are all related.
4. This is all about science and data please refrain from using biblical references. It is appropriate in other scenarios but this isnt one of them. The Hebrew bible was not even written during the period that it's events occurred in and archeological evidence shows many of the events portrayed in the bible never occurred in the first place like Solomon building the Temple in Jerusalem or the existence of kingdoms in Israel in the first place. It is theorized that the 12 tribes and their kings were more akin to warlords like Gilgamesh in Sumerian legend.
Good point, you are correct
@@spookyboi8446 The Out of Africa theory isn't the leading theory anymore.
Loved this video. Your grandma is adorable!
I’m waiting on my results now. I guess another two weeks. My daughter has already gotten her results back in January and now it’s my turn!
this makes me so emotional...i wish i could have done this for my grandma b4 she passed on 😢
Same
Your grandma's voice is so precious!
She said "What is Mali" She's so cute.
She is beautiful!! Get the stories and all the love you can while you can!! DNA is good too though 😁!! Good job granddaughters 🤗!!!
I bet she never thought she'd be able to find out such a treasure in her lifetime! What a marvelous gift!
Granny is so beautiful and 101 years old god bless her.
Oh my Dear!!! Thank you for sharing with US this video full with #LOVE . Your GRANDMOTHER is the ⭐️ of the show!
I observed the way you both YoungLadies, spoke the Her. How CLEAN she was dressed, her skin looking healthy. But most of all, the RESPECT you both have for her! The LOVE...
🙏🏽God Bless GrandMother...
And, 🙏🏽God Bless your whole Family...
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Carmen Figueroa Thank you. She is truly a blessing to us.
I agree
This was a fantastic idea ! I’m glad you guys did the test ! God Blessed you guys to have your grandma and her knowledge for soo long. 🙏🏾
What a beautiful sweet grandma, I can tell you guys are good to each other! ✌🏼️💕
Awwww this was great!! My friend suggested that I did my grandmother's and I was about to give her my kit and I didnt...she passed shortly after. I wish I did it. Glad you got to do it for yours this is wonderful. I'm happy that it did show the native American. There have been many Nay sayers about it not showing in African Americans. I feel like if you have it it's going to show.
Absolutely! That's why we wanted to see once and for all.
Ari Have you taken the test yet? Does native American show in yours?
RIP to your grandma.
Yes I have taken the test and I will be uploading my results soon.
I feel you on that. I wish I could have done my grandmother's ancestry also.
This is awesome! I just tested my 102 year old grandmother today with a MyHeritageDNA kit. It’s getting mailed out in the morning and we can’t wait for the results. So happy for you and your grandma! 3% Native American for your grandma would be a great great grandparent.
my grandma passed away a few years ago I wished I did this she was 104
Mrsshutup83 wow she lived long bless her
you are blessed to have your grandma at 101 years old and she seems to be getting along well.
OMGoddess!! thank you for this positive sharing of grandma Birthday DNA much love to you family for being inspirational. HAPPY EARTHDAY GRANDMA , WE LOVE YOU, HUGGS AND KISSES. These are our family members and respectfully we share the same blood line. I've not done my as of yet but I'm now inspired to do so for my Earthday celebration with a video of my own.
She's so beautiful! Congrats on your DNA results!
Jasmine.....now that I'm a senior citizen I find I REALLY miss the elders I looked up to all my life. The thought that now I'm an elder and I have a responsibility to young folks scares me.....
Awe! Your grandma looks so sweet! :-)
I absolutely love this video. Definitely makes me miss my great grandmother. She passed away in 2016 at 101.
She is so cute! Bless you Grandma for being a good sport and helping your grand babies understand their heritage. 💖💞
I love her. She reminds me of my grandmother. Hilarious reaction to the European ancestry.
She is straight up adorable! Her sweet little voice .....omg too precious! 🥰🥰🥰
You both are soo blessed to have your Grandmother in your life, enjoy her.
So glad you shared your Grandma's results. I wish I had some my grandmother's while she was alive. She lived to 99 (just 84 days short of 100). I would be interested to see how her sister's results differ. I love genealogy, but I have not had to research any in Africa yet. I am however doing my niece's husband. He is a descendant of a slave unfortunately. I am waiting for the price to be reduced again before getting his DNA sample done. I have no doubt it will make a difference when researching his story. Thx again for sharing.
@Carolynska S DNA doesn't work as easily as that. In every pregnancy there is a different mix of genes. Siblings usually inherit a different set of genes from each other. You have two parents,four grandparents, eight great grandparents, sixteen great great grandparents, you can see where I'm going with this.😂 Every child will have a unique mixture of inherited genes, so you will not be axactly the same as your siblings. Sometimes I imagine you could be very different from your brothers and sisters, that's what makes it fascinating. My brother has had a DNA test, I have sent for one. I'm looking forward to seeing the result. Another factor is the fact that mitochondrial DNA is only passed down from mother to daughter, the Y chromosome is only passed down from father to son.
You can still do it ,if you watch Who do you think you are?(BBC), you do it via records, it's not as fast but it's still there ,I'm what's called white! but I don't know half my ancestry ,the records were burned in Ireland in the 1920s, so I'll never know that way.
@@acavell6184 possibly from Irish or british in the british isles...
Blessings on your Grandma reaching 101! I wish her many more years.
Awesome! Your grandmother is sweet!! Overall 95% Africa with Mali as my highest percentage. South Carolina Gullah people.
G. Simmins Thank you for your comment. She maybe apart of that population. However, I have heard of people on my dad’s side speak of Gullah and the term Geeche (not sure how to spell it), and they are from South Georgia.
@G. Simmins I'm 95% too. Apparently lots of from the area are still very African as it pertains to DNA😁
G. Simmins My family is from sc and from the Gullah nation! So greetings family!
Ari well hello fam too!
Im from sc my results were 97% African 2 % European 1% Pacific Islander
How sweet that your grandma made it to see 101 years old! I wish my grandmother was still alive to know that this technology is now in effect for us to find out who we are. My grandmother told me that I had native American in our family on her side. I don't know what that percent is however I'm quite sure she would have found out the rest. My dad took the DNA test and told my daughter that his ancestral line was of the Kroo tribe in Africa.
Grandma is so BEAUTIFUL! LOVE AND CARE FOR HER THE BEST YOU CAN. JUST LOST MINE ... at 93 1/2 years old! WE WERE BLESSED TO HAVE HER SO LONG! Beautiful video. enjoyed sharing with your family!
You have a very sweet grandma, such a nice family :)
amazing!! thx for sharing. Looking forward to see you and your sisters results too!
I love your grandmother - she seems so kind and genuine ❤
You and your family are lucky to have her. Thank you for sharing her and your interactions with TH-cam - it warmed my heart.
101% absolutely adorable! Thx for the video!
I believe that the Asian/Pacific Islander could be counted towards her Native American ancestry (since I don't see any other way it could've gotten in there), so your cousin was right on the money with her percentage prediction!
PI DNA is found in small amounts throughout south America in native folk, there was trade and interaction between both areas.
Native Americans crossed the Bering Sea when they came from Asia.
@@bulldogbrower6732 Just wanna point out that "Native Americans" didn't cross the Bering strait. That is like saying French people wandered out of Africa and through the middle east.
The ancestors of Native Americans may have crossed the Bering strait, but modern Lakota, Dine, Haudenosaunee, Salish, and people of the other >1200 tribes of North America did not.
It could be Native or Malagasy. That Asian with Pacific Islander could be pointing to that as well.
Then by that logic Europeans are African claiming there Asian means nothing they lived in the Americans they have nothing to do with Asia there indigenous in the americas that's all you need to know
Glad you guys were able to do this
Wish I could’ve did this for my great grandmother
You all are blessed. I wish I had the opportunity to give my grandmother a DNA test. My DNA results % were made of African, Polish, Native American and 5% unknown. Both my grandmother and great-aunt (sisters) look like Indians: they had the almond eyes, high & wide cheek bones, naturally straight black hair and very prominent red under skin tone. In retrospect: remembering them alive and now their pics, I still did not expect Native American % results. I have so many questions I want to ask them but they’re no longer here. 😞 You’re blessed to have a living grandmother. Please always cherish her while she’s here.
My daughter had some "unknown" In hers too I have not had mine done yet however I think the "unknown" factor is fascinating like what's that even mean?? I can't wait to do mine :) do you have a suggestion for a company I should go for ?? (DNA TEST)
@@morganophelia5963they get updates that can uncover the unknown.
May The Most HIGH bless your grandmother...
my results were somewhat similar
my main ethnicity was
90% African
2% Native American
my other 8% was trace regions
5% European
3% West Asia
what area of the country is yall Grandmother from?
That's almost the same as my Aunt. My Aunt tested at 91%west Africa 1.8% Native American 3% South Asia, 3% polynesia the rest was Europe. My Father couldn't be tested, because he's deceased unfortunately. I'm half Korean, so my of course my Ancestry is going to come up different. But when my Aunt revealed those results to me, I was so proud! Not many can boast that high of African DNA (90%) or over! And to have it confirmed that we infact do have Native ancestry is also a very positive thing!
Gullah Hebrew by the way are you from the Carolinas Tennessee area? That's where my family is originally from.
yes my family is from the Sea Islands of South Carolina St. Helena Island, SC Edisto Island, SC Rantowles, SC Adams Run, SC Ravenel, SC Jedburg, SC Summerville, SC Ridgeville, SC Manning, SC and Allendale, SC
Gullah Hebrew your name is somewhat of an oxymoron seeing that there were no Jews a midst the Gullah African enslaved population, nor is there any record of Hebrew or Aramaic words in the Gullah Creole language. I am from the South Carolina low country where the Gullah culture is existent, bordering the Midlands. I even have a copy of renown Afro-American linguist’s book Lorenzo Dow Turner Africanisms in the Gullah language that has a detailed analysis of the large Gullah lexicon of West African, and West Central African loan words, and the New Testament printed in Gullah creole. I mean a midst your European percentages do you have European Jewish estimates? I know Charleston had a large white Sephardic Jewish community that settled there during South Carolina’s colonial era, and some of them interbred with their slaves, & some mulattoes came abroad slave ships enslaved and free of Portuguese Jewish paternity & West African mothers, but I know of no West African Jews beyond this sold.
+Custodian of the Golden Stool The real Hebrews are so called "Black" sir. Please do your research, before making a complete a$$ of yourself. Read Deuteronomy 28 of the bible; God doesn't lie.
Your grandma’s lovely and how wonderful to have her with you into her hundreds!
She is 200%. !00% Beautiful + 100% Adorable Also two Beautiful Granddaughters. 101 years of wisdom.
I totally believed she had a higher percent of Native American. Her facial structure looks very Native to me. Guess you never know!! By the way, you guys all seem so sweet & happy!! Congratulations on living past 100!! Thanks for sharing your story & family history!!
Bullshit! 3% Native American. Thats all.
@@MrAmhara well duh what did u expect ? Shes Mostly Black
@Lil Dudy you know you didnt make any sense ...right? Hes complaining that she didnt have more that what he thought she would have ....sounds like he is dissapointed ...Alot of African Americans. Are believing they are Native American ....when that is not true ....this lady however does do to the fact Native Americans usually adopted into the tribe African peoples on certain occasions ...sometimes slaves were bought and married with ....sometimes runaways would be taken in and adopted as a member ....this did not occur on a large scale .....
Lil Dudy most Canarians have around 15-25% North African Dna
@wade zack bullshit. The Modern Native americans have proved to be nothing bur mixef Asians! They are NOT indians. We are tge true an aboriginal indians of this land. We wrre always here. But we are not Natinve American. The names have been deliberately confused. Natives are NOT indians. They are just Natives who came across tge bearimg straight 12k yrs ago. But we were here long b4 that. We've always been on this land...
So sweet I’m glad y’all was able to share the results together so sweet 😩❤️❤️❤️❤️
God bless her. I lost all of my grandparents at a young age. Cherish and always hold her in high regard
What a lovely family. Grandma is so precious.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video of your granny. How wonderful for her too to find out where her roots can be found! GOD BLESS YOU!
My grandmother (98 & proud of it) told me, I'm a "fool to waste my money if I waste money on that mess" She also informed me that she knows full well who her all her people are & if I want to know all I have to do is ask her. She proceeded to ask me what difference is any of that going to make, wanted me to know it's not going to change a thing about who a person is or how they are to anybody. I Love and fear the woman with Damn GOOD REASON!
Alotbof elders have little genetic secrets and lies they need to uphold and DNA tests threaten that. Don't anyways. It always great to see how far humans have come and blended.
Tha 'how they are to anybody' is agood point.
How you treat othersis a bigger thing than our genes.
They are your gifts, your talents: How you use them?
@@duahallah
Not at all, more like the people who own the companies have an agenda and not telling the whole truth
Lol, grandma is not playing.
Ive researched a lot of my family history as an African American. My thoughts are that, because of the pain of what often went on. people masked the obvious. So, being forced into "sexual situations" with Caucasians sometimes was "covered by saying that people had Native Ancestry". Natives too were persecuted by the majority culture and yes there was "some mixing". But, the so called 5 Civilized Tribes also owned slaves themselves and some practiced their own brand of discrimination. And they fought often times to keep African slaves from being identified as Native. So, after doing the research, a lot of Native ancestry actually turned out to be European ancestry by way of Slave Masters (or others) mixing sexually with slaves. I totally understand why this information might get suppressed. There was a lot of shame, division, and rejection by some within the Black community because of the affects of "Color-ism" on the community. But DNA simply tells the truth and clarifies without filtering.
Cherish your grandma while she is with you and gently collect as much information from her as you can. The oral history together with the science will bring a more complete nuanced understanding.
Such a gift to have her in your life at her age! Thank you for sharing such a personal family moment.
damn, grandma doing better than the residents i cook for. For real, she is.
Aww! That smile on her face when she looks at you two 😍. Hope she is doing well, this video was a while ago.
You ladies are so lucky your grandmother seems like a beautiful person and is still so bright. God bless your family.
It needs to be understood. That your SMALLEST percentages mean YOUR EARLIEST ANCESTORS and the LARGEST PERCENTAGES means YOUR LATEST ancestors. So think about it like this, your lineages STARTED NATIVE AMERICAN and got Africanized. You were Native Americans who got Europeanized then Africanized. Most of us read these DNA in reversed. What your reading is actually how your Asian/Pacific Islander ancestry was "Black washed" so to speak.
My mom is 87 and dementia is taking her. I wish my mom's mind was still as sharp as hers. She is a beautiful lady. She does not look her age ! She got some good genes going on there ❤
My Mom too!
I have so much love for y’all for doing this with your grandmother because I was a tad bit too young to understand the value before my grandmother and greats passed away
What a lovely lady. Very good video! Love from scotland
