We're so enthused for you and your ancestors! Thank you for choosing us and thank you for sharing your results with the world! We appreciate you. Welcome to the African Ancestry Family!
You guys are amazing! Out of every DNA test I've taken (I've taken it all), your results meant the most to me & my family. Thank you so much for your exceptional customer service, your professionalism, & your dedication to reconnecting our roots. Thank you again & my dream is to travel with you all one day so that I can return in honor of my maternal ancestors. ❤
Congrats on your results!! I just found out that I'm Fula from Guinea Bissau 99.7% I cried like a baby when I received my results. I'm so proud to know my tribe❤
The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade was a sin to humanity. Thank God we're able to reconnect with our ancestors. I'm happy for you🙏🏼I can't wait to try African Ancestry too! Much love from a Dominican 🇩🇴
Akele, Fula, and Temne. What a combination. Congratulations! And this was a very good documentary on your lineage discoveries. Thank you for sharing this. I'm on board.
Congrats! I have Mende & Temne from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 on my Mother’s side too! Yes, what our ancestors went through was horrific (I took a tour of one of the torture islands called Bunce Island) & I encourage you go to for yourself. Oh! One more thing! You can apply & obtain citizenship in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 as they are offering it to those who can prove they are related to one of the 16 tribes in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱. I received mine in April this year. Anyways, be blessed!
You're very welcome Nadia! Our family means so much to me and my aim is to preserve stories for our future generations. I love you so much too cousin! YES! NOW WE KNOW! 🙌🏾🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
We can draw on the generational resilience, resourcefulness and joyfulness that we inherited from our amazing ancestors. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us.
Thanks for sharing, I'm so happy for you and your family. It really does make you feel "whole" doesn't it, knowing where your roots and traditions hail from. Peace & blessings 🙏🏿
I cried looking seeing how moved you were looking your results. I know how you feel. I'm testing next with African Ancestry. I want to know more about my people. ❤️
I am very touched by your response to your ancestry DNA results. Thank you so much for sharing your emotive and inspiring story. Your people surely suffered awful injustices and oppression. The cruelty of slavery and those who inflicted it is beyond words. My solidarity with you. THANK YOU again.
I always wanted to find out more but was always apprehensive. Auntie Helen was an amazing woman so thank God for survival because 4 Real I was also a product of that love from the women in your family.
My dear grandmother loved you & in her heart, you were one of her own. She adored you and her prayers for you are still valid. Thank you for being an extra reason for her smiles.🙏🏽 🥰
This is great, in Africa we always trace our lineage through our parents. It gives you a sense of belonging and you get to know yourself better. I am glad that you found your and welcome to Africa❤❤❤
Thank you for your heartfelt video!! I too got my Maternal ancestry results from African Ancestry. I’m from the Bamileke people in Cameroon today. Upon getting my results I was very emotional because my mother is no longer her to share this with her. But I have Aunties and others we have shared it with and we all are overjoyed. We will find out my Paternal ancestry soon.
Congratulations on getting your results and that your maternal lineage is Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 and Sierra Leone 🇸🇱! I was inspired after watching this video and other people who took the African Ancestry test and I did the test and currently awaiting results for my mom’s side of the family.
I will be taking the PatriClan test so I can trace my father’s lineage back to Africa after getting my results back from Ancestry DNA that confirms that I’m mostly 90-96% African.
This DEEP DNA LOVE that is in all of Us, and our Ancestors are waiting for us all to receive this first part of our Reparation, through Knowledge Of Thyself,Congratulations,much Love & Blessings Upon Blessings unto your journey, I am anxiously waiting for my results here in South Carolina
My maternal lineage is 100% Mende tribe from Sierra Leone, and my folks and I are from Trinidad . The MitDNA is past down to the male on your mom side, but of course they can’t pass it down…so share the result to all on maternal side,
Hi Allison awesome video beautiful story of your family's lineage I had my African ancestry done and I am Bibu and 5ikar bantu from Cameroon and guinea
Do you know that most native african can Guess easily your region in Africa. There are differents ethnic and different groups, that are differents bu each one recognize the others. They did not want to tell you, the diaspora, because of your imprevisible reaction. We know who you are for decades
I really enjoyed your video thank you so much for sharing your journey. You've encouraged me to truly move forward and get my DNA test done. My mother's father family is from Long Island Bahamas. So I truly understand what you mean about those African influences in the Caribbean. In the Bahamas we celebrate Junkanoo which is Carnival. And here in Miami we celebrate it as well and it's called Goombay. So I understand the beautiful cultural connections from having Caribbean heritage.
I’m happy for you , but I’m highly dissatisfied with my experience, I paid nearly 800 $ for some results which I question as a scientist. To tell me without a percentage that you can say one of my relatives in the last 1500 years came from an obscure tribe is unacceptable. Also I know for a fact that I come from multi tribes . Again , highly disappointed. I never got the other things which were included in my package. I do not recommend.
But the maternal DNA is immutable and could have only come from one woman. It is passed down unchanged, so you would not have multiple maternal haplogroups. In the same way, if you test your paternal lineage, there will be only one result for your paternal haplogroup.
Peace love light and healing family I received my DNA results came back 100% Bissa tribe I'm so excited to have proof I knew it would be from west Africa and I knew it would be of the Israelite bloodline which majority from west Africa are and other place in Africa
congrats on finding your roots alison, fula and temne people live very close, the fula were forcibly converted to islam by arabs, and were used to capture other territories, so fulas were strong but used islam to distinguish themselves from other africans, the temne however were originally from guinea but they moved to sierra leone to escape the islamic conquest and they also resisted the portuguese enslavement fiercely, the temne mostly won, both the islamic malians, portuguese british have high regard for them
It is, indeed, difficult to imagine what your ancestor went through to get to West Indies. They went through a passage worst than the valley of shadow of death. Now, think about us, native Africans, whose relatives were kidnapped, and were never to be seen again. But seeing you makes us happy to know that our sister survived the brutal journey. We are now consoled! Every African name has a significance, and makes complete statement. In my tribe, you will be named, *"Oguguamakwa".* It means, "the one that stopped my tears, consoled me, and gave me closure."
Alison I am in Jamaica, I am in my 75th year and as a kid we use to play ship sail. Thank you, I am also familiar with the boil and roast corn. Who Knew? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your diligent efforts in perusing your ancestry over the years. This has been very helpful in assisting on my own path towards knowing my family background in Africa. Amazing work sister
Shaping of babies head is something African people has been doing since ancient Kemet ( Ancient Egypt). In Ghana we still do it, there are ethnic groups in modern day Egypt that still do it, some ethnic group in Nigeria still do it. Some Caribbean communities still continue this cultural practices. We have been doing this practice for thousands of years.
Why is it that you people continue to deny the fact that black people were the ancient Egyptians? I’m convinced this is why we have continued to be discriminated against because we are and have always been an advanced and special people. God anointed! So move

Thanks so much Clifton!! The Amazing thing about African Ancestry is that your Maternal lineage is identical to mine. Our grandmothers share the same mother; so you, your siblings, all your sister's children, and so much more of us cousins share the same maternal lineage! I love you too cuz! ❤️
I have taken so many DNA test 23andme, Ancestry DNA, National Geographic DNA, I am L3F1B5 Haplogroup, All test place Majority of my DNA from Nigeria. I want to do African Ancestry, to get a maternal tribe so I can visit and learn. I want to ask if known how come 2 tribes came back? Fula and Temne? I'm so curious now
From what I've been told, sometimes women were married into other tribal groups. I'm not 100% sure, so I'll be sure to ask African Ancestry at their next live event. Thanks for asking!
fula here in usa from Senegal . when i had my kids my mom would always remind to shape by babies nooses and shape my kids heads.. and she very much insisted unfortunately i was not able to do cause i thought i was not expert and will do mistake and shape it baddly i wish i learned when i was young.
Oh wow! I can't imagine the pressure you've probably felt to get it right. It's never too late to learn. You can learn now so that you can teach the next generation. That would be a beautiful tradition to pass down. Thanks for watching and sharing!
@@AlisonRyce hi Allison I'm just a member of the ancestry group you could join as well I'm so excited for you and I am waiting on my results from African ancestry I did my my heritage it is fun to learn about your family and find out your true heritage. Tell your husband that my family is from Dollar Ford Tobago and I did myheritage DNA and found out that we also have family in Barbados and Jamaica and one of the island and that's through my Nigerian heritage okay take care and enjoy sharing your information with your family
@@miriamjones8804 thank you! I've just joined the group! My hubby's father's side are from Trinidad by way of Barbados. I'll definitely let him know! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I'm so excited for your upcoming African Ancestry results! Knowing is so worth it! 🙌🏾
Right? I was presently surprised when I saw that. In my Caribbean community, if you aren't a deep chocolate hue, folks automatically assume that you're more mixed than you really are.
touched me sooo much... I'm happy for you. before my Grandmother died she told me that she could only remember that her great grandmother said something about guinea. I will soon check my own results although i was secretly hoping i was from nigeria lol
Yes! African Ancestry reached out to me and shared that great information with me. I'm a born citizen of Trinidad 🇹🇹 and a naturalized citizen of the United States 🇺🇸. I'll have to check to see if it's legal to have passports and citizenship in 3 countries. If that's possible, I'll apply for citizenship when I visit Sierra Leone 🇸🇱.
Alison, the African Ancestry DNA is only a micro slice of your DNA and does not reflect your tribe origins. Sixteen generations of your ancestors represent 65536 branches of which your result is 1/65536th. If St. Vincent was your full DNA, what you get from African Ancestry would be about 1.5 acres. Given the composition of our DNA and the number of tribes in the various West African regions, the 1/65536 is what was presented to you is a microcosm, and your DNA is probably a composition of most of the West African tribes.
Mines linked back to Bantu peoples of Cameroon that seemed to have spread out to other regions where I have identical DNA but have Bantu speaking people there as well
Well come to the family gal I’m Fula too. And let me tell u something about the Fula tribe. There women are one of the most beautiful women in the planet. And they are mostly Normans traveling around west African country’s
Congratulations! The Fula or Fulani are considered to have the most beautiful women in West and Central Africa. You have Fula cousins all over west/central Africa. The tears are the ancestors talking to you. Bigups to you✊️
