I'm Jamaican American and I got the 8% Portugal 🇵🇹 also but my grandfather said he was mixed mostly black and Asian but only like 2% Asian we were shocked
Great results! I love watching Ancestry videos of people from the Caribbean. I’m from the North Carolina/South Carolina area of the United States and my Ancestry result was 95% African with the majority being Nigeria and the Congo area. From the videos that I have watched on YT, my results generally seem to be more similar to people from Jamaica than any others.
Thank you for watching, that's so interesting. It seems a lot of slaves were stolen from Nigeria. It's very likely that a lot of families got separated. I have quite a lot of DNA matches who live in the US
My family on both sides are from NC. I did 23 and me and it says I got 4 th cousins from Jamaica even named a place in Jamaica. But the crazy part. I’ve done both sides of my family up until third great grand and no Jamaicans. Ion no I think somebody lying. But this was a shocker to me. Have you done 23 and me? Did you find this. Anyway I’m 92% African. 47% Nigerian! I’m so damn happy. They need to stop saying most African Americans are heavily mixed.
@@Thepearlsandperils Did they name a place in the states your family is from. They named st Elizabeth in Jamaica as a place my family still lives. There are a lot! Those slave masters really was switching us up. Lmao or maybe something else🤷🏽♀️
@@zeeqq105 you have some great results! I have only done Ancestry. I’m thinking about doing the African Ancestry one. You are right about the lie they’re always telling about so many Black Americans being mixed. That’s just not the truth at all.
I am African American with my Father's Mom is from Kingston, Jamaica and her Dad was British White. My Mom is African American, her Father is African American Mom and his dad is from China. I visits Egypt and everyone thier- Egyptians were telling me I was Alexandria, Egyptian. I used CIGenetics last week and will need to wait 8 weeks.
Like many, that ethnic group had their kingdom until the European borders were created and split it up. Those two countries share a border. I can see similarities in Couper Décaler from Côté D'Ivoire and Jamaican dancehall. It's very likely.
@@realcheychey Liberia and Seirraleon is possible because of the return of enslaved Africans returning to those two countries and mixing with the locals so they may some percentage of the Akan/Abron DNA but if you look at the bigger picture in terms of the Akan saturation, then the Southeastern part of Ivory Coast and Southern part of Ghana are all Akans. Hope this helps to give clarity.
When you visit these countries do not limit yourself to the cities but endeavor to see safe rural communities to have the real experience that you had lost centuries past.

Congratulations. Now if you want to get more specific about your ancestry you should research the dna company African Ancestry DNA. This company can tell you the exact African tribe or tribes which you've descended from. The test is expensive but it's well worth it so look at some RUclips video's on this company "African Ancestry DNA Results" and get inspired.

Excellent 🇯🇲Jamaican DNA video... Informative and you are very Educated on your history . It was refreshing to hear an articulate and knowledgeable description of your DNA results.
Hi my sista. I'm 43%-Nigerian 13.7% - West Africa 12.5%- Kenyon 9.8%- Sierra Leone and was born and raised in America because of slavery. If anyone can give me a few points about my heritage drop me a little info, I would appreciate it. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
It could also be Ewe. Ewes and Fons who are related can be found in both countries. Also Ewes once settled amongst the Yorubas at one time but had to move westward following the rise of the Oyo empire.
I just did this. Found I also have half West African and Cameroon-Congo DNA. It was also revealed that I have Afro Jamaican heritage and African American heritage from the Carolinas
Wow, you have a really interesting mix! Mine was comparatively boring - 99.8% Northwestern European, mostly British and Irish! I had a quite a high French and German percentage though (18%) and I don’t know where that comes from as my family on both sides have been in the south of England at least as far back as my great grandparents.
Thanks for sharing your results. I love watchIing these Ancestry DNA results videos. We shared our results on my channel too. I understand what you mean about the comments lol.
The connection between Portugal and Nigeria is not surprising. - The Portugese always had trading connections to Western Africa, ever since the Phoenician traders settled on the Atlantic coast, and probably even before these. Somebody who is Nigerian, will always match some Portugese and the other way around. - Even my Grandmum that had some escaped Sephards in her ancestry 500 years ago has still 1% Nigerian.
44% Nigerian, 16% Togo/Benin and 15% Cameroon/Congo => 76% Nigeria and neighboring countries clearly puts your ancestry to Nigeria. Your ancestors were likely Igbo (Ibo) or Ibibio another region (apart from Akans of Ghana) which has a long history and connection with Jamaica. Try and identify who your "cousins" are especially if they are Africans. It helps
I'm sorry to say but I disagree. The tribe that she most likely comes from is the Yoruba tribe. This is the tribe that straddles Nigeria, Benin and Togo. There are Yorubas in each of these modern day countries. How do I know? I'm a Yoruba man and therefore a continental African who did a DNA test and discovered that I'm 72% Nigerian and 28% Benin and Togo. Yorubas were separated by colonisation.
@@blackmagic6 Wrong. You seem to forget that she is 15% Cameroon/Congo. Besides, he Yoruba tibe as you put it were never a group well represented in Jamaica. Jamaica was dominated by the Igbo/Ibibio and the Akan people of Ghana. And since she is strongly Nigeria and Cameroon/Congo (closer to Ibibio/Igbo land) is well represented in her DNA, she is definitely more of Ibibio/Igbo origin.
@@raymondmordi7937: From your comment I can see that you do not know what you are talking about. Let me repeat, I am Yoruba and from Nigeria and I know the people from Nigeria very well... and our history. You state that because the lady in question's DNA is from a country which borders Nigeria on the South East i.e. Cameroon and she has Nigerian DNA that she is most likely Igbo/Ibibio. Wow. It is apparent that you have not considered that the eastern part of Nigeria consists of more than 50 different tribes, all distinctive in language and culture. But in your mind she has to be Igbo/Ibibio...right? However, the South western part of Nigeria, which borders Benin and Togo, has one tribe with many dialects but one language and culture and the second biggest tribe in Nigeria (and it would be the largest if not for being divided during colonisation)..... the Yoruba tribe. Do the maths. Learn Nigeria's history and demography and then come back to me. I'll wait. PS: I was actually in Cameroon some years ago. I crossed the border from North Eastern Nigeria (Maiduguri) to get into Cameroon. Cameroon and Nigeria share a border right across Nigeria's eastern flank i.e. From North East Nigeria to South East Nigeria. Therefore by your own logic why did you exclude the Hausa tribe, which share a larger part of the border with Cameroon, as a possibility as to where she could have come from? I'll wait.
@@blackmagic6 You are definitely from the Yoruba tribe and you tribalism is no surprise to me. It is on record where the slaves taken to Jamaica were sourced from in Africa and these were mainly from the Gold Coast (Ghana) and Bight of Biafra (Nigeria) and the two domiant groups from Nigeria were the Moko (Ibibio) and Eboe(Igbo). These are well known facts even Jamaicans know these facts. And this is confirmed by her Benin/Togo and Cameroon/Congo admixtures. Yorubas usually do not score high for Cameroon/Congo...this is simple logic. Nobody disputes the fact that lots of Youbas were taken to places like Brazil (Bahia) and Cuba. While lots of Igbos were taken to the Anglophone and Francophone realm. The reason for this is tied to history. Yorubas only became the dominant enslaved people from the 1800s courtesy of the intra Yoruba wars of that era. At that time the British, Americans and French had already abolished trade in slaves from Africa. The Potuguese and Spanish no! You also brought the issue of Hausa "tribe"...well prior to the 1800s, most Hausas were taken across the Sahara and that is entirely a different aspect. But from the 1800s, the Hausas and other groups in Northern Nigeria had become victims of Fulani conquest and many of them wee sold. These happened long after slavery had been abolished in Jamaica.
From what I read, they were matching Igbo women with Ghanaian men.And the female Gene is always dominant.Hence you will find a lot of Jamaicans with Nigerian DNA .
Good video, your Portuguese percentage I'm not surprised as they and the Dutch were the major slave traders/traffickers untill the British RAC (Royal African Company)took over. The Nigerian percentage is most likely majority Igbo from Bonny /Calabar (Bight of Biafra) as they supplied the largest number of slaves to Jamaica, they were the latter slaves to arrive in Jamaica, they also came as indentured servants after slavery had ended and that fairly increased their numbers on the island. You do resemble Igbo alot in the face. The Cameroon Congo is a large area that should be split up, but probably not enough samples from those areas to properly distinguish and compare your Dna to. Ivory Coast and Ghana again no surprises, that area was known as The Ashanti Empire before colonisation and most slaves taken from there were indeed Akan (Ashanti, Fanti, Bono,Akyem etc) also known as Coromantee/Kromanti in Jamaica, though these slaves were the best workers, they were also very skilled and organised in warfare, hence the most rebellious and often escaped to join and form maroon communities, hence why alot of Jamaican culture is similar to Akan because they were the most dominant group. Therefore the British preferred other groups of slaves to be brought instead. Benin/Togo dna is similar to the Yoruba in Nigeria and the Akan in Ghana/Ivory coast I'm glad you have more clarity on your history, more blessings to you ✊🏿
I would recommend you down load your raw DNA from Ancestry and upload it to My Heritage and FT DNA for a comparison of results. You will get more hits from relatives and slightly different results. My history is South Europe / North Africa, and I found the two I mentioned better.
This is making me realize, having seen quite a number of these videos, that I did have ancestry DNA results and it just never occurred to me to talk about them on RUclips. Why not? One thing is I’ve never been a super enthusiastic bubbly person like you are. So probably my discussion of my DNA would be a snooze.
Andddddd we are native Indians they were the original occupants of Jamaica before slave trade but some were killed or were taken into slavery with the Africans. (Check them out Arawak and Taino) But this is soo cool I might do this ancestry test!
@Papaskull876 Native Americans, Native Canadians, and Native South Americans are Native to America, Just like Africans (blacks) are Native to Africa, Asians are Native to Asia, and Europeans are Native to Europe.
@Papaskull876 Yes, it is ridiculous that they Still call us Indians in Canada's legal documents! I know of a guy that was so happy to find a college scholarship for Indians, so he applied, only to find out later he was the "wrong kind of Indian". Canada meant Indigenous people, he was an Indian from India! People from India here just get confused, because nowhere else in the world do they have to explain 'which kind of Indian they are, Lol!
@Papaskull876 Canada is a very well-respected country. We are considered progressive, yet we do these things to the Original People! We all see the chaos and violence you went through fighting for your freedom in the States. We see that your school system was integrated in the 1960s. Canadians feel like they are not racist, but they are, and they are unaware. Canada's segregated school system finally shut down in 1996! And yes, we had children who had to cross a picket line of racist idiot parents screaming and yelling at our little children. They were holding signs that said, "No Savages sitting next to my children!" Because our school system was segregated against INDIGENOUS children and not black children, somehow Canadians don't see it as racist! Our children spoke Indigenous languages and many had never seen a white person before, so Canada felt we needed to be removed from our parents so that they could have COMPLETE CONTROL over our people. They could teach us how to become proper white people. They would teach us their European languages, French and English, depending on where in Canada we lived. It was run by priests and nuns, both of which raped little children. My uncles say you could hear their Ominous footsteps in the middle of the night to sneak away their young victims. Most victims were returned in the morning, but some were just never seen again. Sometimes less than 50% of Indigenous children survived those 'schools'. Canada debated in our parliament whether to protect our little children from the rapes and physical and sexual abuse running rampant in those schools. In the end, they voted to 'protect the Canadian taxpayer'. It is very hard on me to see black people calling us white, calling us $5.00 Indians. It is so Hurtful, and so Not true. If it were true that we aren't the real Indigenous Canadians then black people would have been forced into residential schools, black children would have been removed from their parents and forcibly raised by white people. Black people would be the ones being sterilized and having needles stuck through their tongues because they spoke indigenous languages. But they aren't, we are. The last Indigenous woman forcibly sterilized in Canada was in 2018! I go to all my 19-year-old daughters' doctor appointments just to make sure nothing happens to her. Research the name Joyce Echequan video. She died at the hands of nurses, and she live streamed her own death to show Canadians what she and many Native Canadians go through in our 'healthcare' system. Her screams to them that they overdosed her on medication fell on deaf ears. They Mocked her as she DIED, telling her that as an Indigenous woman she was "only good for sex"! PLEASE shut down all racists who call us $5.00 Indians and call us white. You have No Idea the fight we have up here. It is So Bad, that the Canadian government is Afraid that Black Lives Matter will come up her and wreak havoc to defend us. They don't know that really, No One will help us. We are in a totally different country.
I think it's TRUE, most Jamaicans with an asian ancestry are related to the first inhabitants (Tainos) of Jamaica, not the current population of east asians. I don't believe any talk about the Tainos having been entirely destroyed, when the first Africans arrived in early 1500s Tainos were obviously surviving or escaping to the mountains as the Maroons later did and they integrated. Hence the taino parts of our food and culture such as jerk and bammy.
Because of early explorers went all over world..and again men breed everywhere. So bless you and your are an exciting DNA soup. Hold head high AS YOU NOW WHOM YOU ARE AND YOUR Ancestors ARE SMILING AT YOU
Am glad I don't need a ancestry test because I know that am from South Africa and I live in South Africa am not lost if you want to know that you are from South Africa you have to dance first and we will take it from there South Africans can dance
Most Jamaicans have a high percentage of Nigerian ancestry in their DNA. Guyanese have more of Ghanaian ancestry. As a Ghanaian who has Guyanese and Jamaican friends, I have noticed Guyanese have more of our Akan people attributes than most of my friends from the Caribbean.
Most Bantu-speaking people brought to the Americas (in the trans-Atlantic slave trade) were from the western Congo and northern Angola (often from the Bakongo people and related ethnic groups). But there were some exceptions (for exsmple a very tiny percent of the Bantus actually came from Mozambique).
Darling all these mixes is the beauty..mixes makes beautiful people. Embrace it.. visit. Try the food..walk the streets and have fun. Put a big map on wall and pin it. With DNA places. ...and pins when you visit
But in the back of my mind some of my African ancestors got raped by the European during slavery and that make me feel guilty for embracing all my heritage… how can I stop feeling bad
My family has done much research and know we got much English, some German, some African and lots of Native American. But I am like my fathers blonde haired blue eyed side not my mom's beautiful tanned skin , dark haired and dark eyed side. I may not have much of mm's DNA. I hope my sisters will test also. I want to know more about ALL my ancestry.
Thank you! 😊 I recently had my DNA results analysed with My Heritage DNA and the results were slightly different my european % was actually slighter with My Heritage DNA lol. I'll be doing a video soon comparing my results.
The Pearls and Perils I see, ancestry is more accurate tho. MyHeritage could possibly give you higher European cuz that they’ve got a good reference population for Europeans, anyhoo I’m waiting 😊
When they say it can range from something to something percent what they mean Is that they think you're that, but, a little bit of that or all of that could be a neighbor ethnicity and vise versa
I don't know why you think portugal is soo random..English people commonly get portugal or spain in their results they are european counties. Just like Africans get bits of differnt countries on the continent of Africa in their results, there were mixes between different European groups in the continent of Europe
You are from the West Coast, I.e. West Africa. West Africa was known as the West Coast before the Europeans divided Africa into countries. Any West African that has done their DNA would have presence in a lot of West African countries and beyond. You have a lot of Nigeria in you. According to DNA, on average Nigerians are 75% Nigerians; the other percentage are from other West African countries and other countries.
The tribe that she most likely comes from is the Yoruba tribe. This is the tribe that straddles Nigeria, Benin and Togo. There are Yorubas in each of these modern day countries. How do I know? I'm a Yoruba man and therefore a continental African who did a DNA test and discovered that I'm 72% Nigerian and 28% Benin and Togo. Yorubas were separated by colonisation.
@@selasedu: Wow …. I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info. However, I also discovered when I read some of the comments that the lady in question i.e. "The Pearls and Perils" confirmed in a reply to Courtney Davis that she is indeed of Yoruba heritage, in which she says "That's so interesting I'm also part Yoruba, Mandeka and Masai 🥰".
@@blackmagic6 The Ewes lived in what is now known as the Osun and Kwara states of Nigeria. Two states currently dominated by Yoruba people. The Ewes ultimately moved westward in large numbers as a result of the rise of the Oyo empire. Benin which was once called Dahomey, translates to land of the snakes in Ewe/Fon. Cotonou the capital translates to death at the mouth of the river Bank in Ewe/Fon.
@UCH114rtfNx9MwAh_qPQs9Zg: Once again thanks for the info. This is something that interests me so you’ve definitely given me something to research. One of the causes for the break up and separation of African people was definitely colonialism. The more I discover the impact of colonialism, the more I feel we as Africans need to acknowledge it…. because of the legacy of the trauma that it has caused.
I'm jamaican too . I didn't have Senegal either. I also have south Asian and central Asian dna because my great grandfather and great grandmother on my dads side were from india . My nigeria is 46% but with the updates I'm sure it will changed I also had Mayan and Inca dna not too many black people have native dna only a few .
The Portuguese and Senegalese hint are probably Colonial Ancestry in Jamaica dating back to when it was under Spanish rule (Santiago). You’re Jamaican af
Ancestry DNA videos cannot be complete until you name your paternal and maternal haplogroups and from which countries your DNA matches came from.

@@godwinejiofor8064 no bc it’s not everyday Nigeria you cant just put everyone in the pot and you know it’s not a competition this is the truth Togo ain’t even near to Nigeria so I don’t know what that was
@@khadijaaah._5315 may God deliver you from envy who put every body in the pot?

I love your results and your enthusiasm!🥰your ancestry and your genealogy is the most interesting thing to learn about yourself honestly! I said the same thing you said, I plan on visiting the countries that come up on my results too
Our ancestors were bought to America, and the Caribbean islands, as slaves.... Although they were though of as being Africans, they as well as you are not Africans... Please let me explain..... I'm sure you know about the flood where Noah, his wife and their 3 sons and their wives were the only people left on earth... Ham the youngest son of Noah, was the progenitor of the dark races, like the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Canaanites, Libyans, and Africans, but not the Negroes...... Shem, was the progenitor of the Negroes, and he was the father of Abraham who was the first Hebrew, and the father of Isacc, and Is acc was the father of Esau, and Jacob.... GOD changed Jacob's name to Israel, Jacob was the father of 12 sons, who became the 12 tribes of Israel.... GOD made a covenant with Israel and told them what would happen if they broke the covenant..... Which they did.....( Please read your Bible in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28, regarding the blessing and the cursess).... After the tribe of Judah did evil, they were run out of Israel, by the Romans into Africa where they finally settled in West Africa.... ( Please do a Internet search for the New and Accurate Map of Negro Land )...... There you will see the Gold Coast, Ivory Coast, and the Slave Coast, along with the Kingdom of Judah..... When Slavery started in Africa, it was not Africans who was sold into slavery.... It was the original Hebrews, from the tribe of Judah.... It was your and my, forefathers who were slaves.... In 1999, President Mathieu Kerekou, of Benin issued a national apology for the role Africans played in the Atlantic Slave Trade.... You were never African, but you are a Hebrew by birth right!!!!
You should not be too shocked about the Senegalese presence in your DNA. Dutty Boukman, who read out that celebrated speech during the famous voudon ceremony held in Bois Caiman (Alligator Woods) that sparked the slave rebellion that eventually became the Haitian revolution, actually came from Jamaica but was born in the Senegambia (Senegal/Gambia) region. So you may well be related to one of the most important black people to have ever lived, the catalyst of one of the most momentous events in history!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutty_Boukman#Ceremony_at_the_Bois_Ca%C3%AFman

Nice, that's so interesting
Excellent 🇯🇲Jamaican DNA video... Informative and you are very Educated on your history . It was refreshing to hear an articulate and knowledgeable description of your DNA results.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi my sista. I'm
43%-Nigerian 13.7% - West Africa 12.5%- Kenyon 9.8%- Sierra Leone and was born and raised in America because of slavery. If anyone can give me a few points about my heritage drop me a little info, I would appreciate it. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
If you have Nigerian with Benin and Togo in your DNA, then your ancestors might have been Yorùbá
It could also be Ewe. Ewes and Fons who are related can be found in both countries. Also Ewes once settled amongst the Yorubas at one time but had to move westward following the rise of the Oyo empire.
I think you're absolutely pleaseant❗
Husband is a blessed man!
I just did this. Found I also have half West African and Cameroon-Congo DNA. It was also revealed that I have Afro Jamaican heritage and African American heritage from the Carolinas
Jamaican here.....nigerian(yoruba-dominantly),senegalese(mandika),kenyan(masai),scandinavian and italian...also turkish and iranian.
That's so interesting I'm also part Yoruba, Mandeka and Masai 🥰
@@Thepearlsandperils majority of jamaicans are nigerians.
Wow, you have a really interesting mix! Mine was comparatively boring - 99.8% Northwestern European, mostly British and Irish! I had a quite a high French and German percentage though (18%) and I don’t know where that comes from as my family on both sides have been in the south of England at least as far back as my great grandparents.
Thank you 😊 That's interesting 18% is quite high it might be a case that both your parents have some French and German ancestry
She has European because her ancestors have been raped.
The French and German probably came from the Anglo-Saxons and or Normans.
So definitely no relation to Chicago Bears former return specialist Devin Hester?😊
@@andre1987eph Haha I guess it’s possible! Depends when his family arrived in America!!
You are grreat communicator.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing your results. I love watchIing these Ancestry DNA results videos. We shared our results on my channel too. I understand what you mean about the comments lol.
Thank you for watching 🥰 So do I, I've seen so many. Will defo check out your results 😊
The connection between Portugal and Nigeria is not surprising. - The Portugese always had trading connections to Western Africa, ever since the Phoenician traders settled on the Atlantic coast, and probably even before these. Somebody who is Nigerian, will always match some Portugese and the other way around. - Even my Grandmum that had some escaped Sephards in her ancestry 500 years ago has still 1% Nigerian.
Welcome Nigerian-Jamaican sister.
Thank you😄
44% Nigerian, 16% Togo/Benin and 15% Cameroon/Congo => 76% Nigeria and neighboring countries clearly puts your ancestry to Nigeria. Your ancestors were likely Igbo (Ibo) or Ibibio another region (apart from Akans of Ghana) which has a long history and connection with Jamaica. Try and identify who your "cousins" are especially if they are Africans. It helps
I'm sorry to say but I disagree. The tribe that she most likely comes from is the Yoruba tribe. This is the tribe that straddles Nigeria, Benin and Togo. There are Yorubas in each of these modern day countries. How do I know? I'm a Yoruba man and therefore a continental African who did a DNA test and discovered that I'm 72% Nigerian and 28% Benin and Togo. Yorubas were separated by colonisation.
@@blackmagic6 Wrong. You seem to forget that she is 15% Cameroon/Congo. Besides, he Yoruba tibe as you put it were never a group well represented in Jamaica. Jamaica was dominated by the Igbo/Ibibio and the Akan people of Ghana. And since she is strongly Nigeria and Cameroon/Congo (closer to Ibibio/Igbo land) is well represented in her DNA, she is definitely more of Ibibio/Igbo origin.
@@raymondmordi7937: From your comment I can see that you do not know what you are talking about. Let me repeat, I am Yoruba and from Nigeria and I know the people from Nigeria very well... and our history.
You state that because the lady in question's DNA is from a country which borders Nigeria on the South East i.e. Cameroon and she has Nigerian DNA that she is most likely Igbo/Ibibio. Wow. It is apparent that you have not considered that the eastern part of Nigeria consists of more than 50 different tribes, all distinctive in language and culture. But in your mind she has to be Igbo/Ibibio...right? However, the South western part of Nigeria, which borders Benin and Togo, has one tribe with many dialects but one language and culture and the second biggest tribe in Nigeria (and it would be the largest if not for being divided during colonisation)..... the Yoruba tribe. Do the maths. Learn Nigeria's history and demography and then come back to me. I'll wait.
PS: I was actually in Cameroon some years ago. I crossed the border from North Eastern Nigeria (Maiduguri) to get into Cameroon. Cameroon and Nigeria share a border right across Nigeria's eastern flank i.e. From North East Nigeria to South East Nigeria. Therefore by your own logic why did you exclude the Hausa tribe, which share a larger part of the border with Cameroon, as a possibility as to where she could have come from? I'll wait.
@@blackmagic6 You are definitely from the Yoruba tribe and you tribalism is no surprise to me. It is on record where the slaves taken to Jamaica were sourced from in Africa and these were mainly from the Gold Coast (Ghana) and Bight of Biafra (Nigeria) and the two domiant groups from Nigeria were the Moko (Ibibio) and Eboe(Igbo). These are well known facts even Jamaicans know these facts.
And this is confirmed by her Benin/Togo and Cameroon/Congo admixtures.
Yorubas usually do not score high for Cameroon/Congo...this is simple logic. Nobody disputes the fact that lots of Youbas were taken to places like Brazil (Bahia) and Cuba.
While lots of Igbos were taken to the Anglophone and Francophone realm. The reason for this is tied to history. Yorubas only became the dominant enslaved people from the 1800s courtesy of the intra Yoruba wars of that era. At that time the British, Americans and French had already abolished trade in slaves from Africa. The Potuguese and Spanish no!
You also brought the issue of Hausa "tribe"...well prior to the 1800s, most Hausas were taken across the Sahara and that is entirely a different aspect. But from the 1800s, the Hausas and other groups in Northern Nigeria had become victims of Fulani conquest and many of them wee sold. These happened long after slavery had been abolished in Jamaica.
From what I read, they were matching Igbo women with Ghanaian men.And the female Gene is always dominant.Hence you will find a lot of Jamaicans with Nigerian DNA .
Good video, your Portuguese percentage I'm not surprised as they and the Dutch were the major slave traders/traffickers untill the British RAC (Royal African Company)took over. The Nigerian percentage is most likely majority Igbo from Bonny /Calabar (Bight of Biafra) as they supplied the largest number of slaves to Jamaica, they were the latter slaves to arrive in Jamaica, they also came as indentured servants after slavery had ended and that fairly increased their numbers on the island. You do resemble Igbo alot in the face.
The Cameroon Congo is a large area that should be split up, but probably not enough samples from those areas to properly distinguish and compare your Dna to. Ivory Coast and Ghana again no surprises, that area was known as The Ashanti Empire before colonisation and most slaves taken from there were indeed Akan (Ashanti, Fanti, Bono,Akyem etc) also known as Coromantee/Kromanti in Jamaica, though these slaves were the best workers, they were also very skilled and organised in warfare, hence the most rebellious and often escaped to join and form maroon communities, hence why alot of Jamaican culture is similar to Akan because they were the most dominant group. Therefore the British preferred other groups of slaves to be brought instead.
Benin/Togo dna is similar to the Yoruba in Nigeria and the Akan in Ghana/Ivory coast
I'm glad you have more clarity on your history, more blessings to you ✊🏿
I would recommend you down load your raw DNA from Ancestry and upload it to My Heritage and FT DNA for a comparison of results. You will get more hits from relatives and slightly different results. My history is South Europe / North Africa, and I found the two I mentioned better.
Thank you, I'll definitely check out My Heritage I never knew that you could upload your raw data on to it 😊
Also upload to livingdna as you will get your tribe from your African heritage
So exciting, many new countrys to explore 🙂
I am from East Africa, and you look very East African.
This is making me realize, having seen quite a number of these videos, that I did have ancestry DNA results and it just never occurred to me to talk about them on RUclips. Why not? One thing is I’ve never been a super enthusiastic bubbly person like you are. So probably my discussion of my DNA would be a snooze.
I'm sure it wouldn't be a snooze lol. Thank you for your kind words
Happy to know that you are Nigerian
Thank you, I was happy to know that too as I have lots of Nigerian friends 😊
Wow I’ve never done this! Really interesting!
It really is! The Dna matches it links you to is 🤯
Yes lady we are one 🇧🇸. We are all Caribbean. 🎉 Ok fam.
Andddddd we are native Indians they were the original occupants of Jamaica before slave trade but some were killed or were taken into slavery with the Africans. (Check them out Arawak and Taino)
But this is soo cool I might do this ancestry test!
I've heard of the natives, the % of people that actually have native dna is tiny 🙈😂😂
@Papaskull876 Native Americans, Native Canadians, and Native South Americans are Native to America, Just like Africans (blacks) are Native to Africa, Asians are Native to Asia, and Europeans are Native to Europe.
@Papaskull876 Yes, it is ridiculous that they Still call us Indians in Canada's legal documents! I know of a guy that was so happy to find a college scholarship for Indians, so he applied, only to find out later he was the "wrong kind of Indian". Canada meant Indigenous people, he was an Indian from India! People from India here just get confused, because nowhere else in the world do they have to explain 'which kind of Indian they are, Lol!
@Papaskull876 Canada is a very well-respected country. We are considered progressive, yet we do these things to the Original People! We all see the chaos and violence you went through fighting for your freedom in the States. We see that your school system was integrated in the 1960s. Canadians feel like they are not racist, but they are, and they are unaware. Canada's segregated school system finally shut down in 1996! And yes, we had children who had to cross a picket line of racist idiot parents screaming and yelling at our little children. They were holding signs that said, "No Savages sitting next to my children!"
Because our school system was segregated against INDIGENOUS children and not black children, somehow Canadians don't see it as racist! Our children spoke Indigenous languages and many had never seen a white person before, so Canada felt we needed to be removed from our parents so that they could have COMPLETE CONTROL over our people. They could teach us how to become proper white people. They would teach us their European languages, French and English, depending on where in Canada we lived.
It was run by priests and nuns, both of which raped little children. My uncles say you could hear their Ominous footsteps in the middle of the night to sneak away their young victims. Most victims were returned in the morning, but some were just never seen again. Sometimes less than 50% of Indigenous children survived those 'schools'.
Canada debated in our parliament whether to protect our little children from the rapes and physical and sexual abuse running rampant in those schools. In the end, they voted to 'protect the Canadian taxpayer'.
It is very hard on me to see black people calling us white, calling us $5.00 Indians. It is so Hurtful, and so Not true. If it were true that we aren't the real Indigenous Canadians then black people would have been forced into residential schools, black children would have been removed from their parents and forcibly raised by white people. Black people would be the ones being sterilized and having needles stuck through their tongues because they spoke indigenous languages. But they aren't, we are.
The last Indigenous woman forcibly sterilized in Canada was in 2018! I go to all my 19-year-old daughters' doctor appointments just to make sure nothing happens to her.
Research the name Joyce Echequan video. She died at the hands of nurses, and she live streamed her own death to show Canadians what she and many Native Canadians go through in our 'healthcare' system. Her screams to them that they overdosed her on medication fell on deaf ears. They Mocked her as she DIED, telling her that as an Indigenous woman she was "only good for sex"!
PLEASE shut down all racists who call us $5.00 Indians and call us white. You have No Idea the fight we have up here. It is So Bad, that the Canadian government is Afraid that Black Lives Matter will come up her and wreak havoc to defend us. They don't know that really, No One will help us. We are in a totally different country.
I think it's TRUE, most Jamaicans with an asian ancestry are related to the first inhabitants (Tainos) of Jamaica, not the current population of east asians. I don't believe any talk about the Tainos having been entirely destroyed, when the first Africans arrived in early 1500s Tainos were obviously surviving or escaping to the mountains as the Maroons later did and they integrated. Hence the taino parts of our food and culture such as jerk and bammy.
Welcome home beautiful sister 🇳🇬
I agree go and visit these places that you’re from 🤗
Because of early explorers went all over world..and again men breed everywhere. So bless you and your are an exciting DNA soup. Hold head high AS YOU NOW WHOM YOU ARE AND YOUR Ancestors ARE SMILING AT YOU
This is exciting your DNA journey. Now visit if you can where your people walked.
Am glad I don't need a ancestry test because I know that am from South Africa and I live in South Africa am not lost if you want to know that you are from South Africa you have to dance first and we will take it from there South Africans can dance
I'm Swedish, and my DNA result is 78,8% Scandinavian and 13,9% Finnish and 7,3% Baltic.
Most Jamaicans have a high percentage of Nigerian ancestry in their DNA. Guyanese have more of Ghanaian ancestry. As a Ghanaian who has Guyanese and Jamaican friends, I have noticed Guyanese have more of our Akan people attributes than most of my friends from the Caribbean.
Watching this while I do my hair day, I had been meaning to watch it, I hope you’re 15% Tsonga 😊
Most Bantu-speaking people brought to the Americas (in the trans-Atlantic slave trade) were from the western Congo and northern Angola (often from the Bakongo people and related ethnic groups). But there were some exceptions (for exsmple a very tiny percent of the Bantus actually came from Mozambique).
Great video. I am awaiting my DNA results 😮
Now I’m curious to have 1 done
You should you might be really surprised 🙊
Darling all these mixes is the beauty..mixes makes beautiful people. Embrace it.. visit. Try the food..walk the streets and have fun. Put a big map on wall and pin it. With DNA places. ...and pins when you visit
I Agree
But in the back of my mind some of my African ancestors got raped by the European during slavery and that make me feel guilty for embracing all my heritage… how can I stop feeling bad
Wow...I love this video. I was even thinking you would be more linked to Ghana than Nigeria 🤔...
Aww really 😂 I guess not. I always thought I'd be more Nigerian
@@Thepearlsandperils Nigeria and Ghana were the two biggest contributors to Jamaica
I'm 46% Nigerian and my range is 36 to 56%
Your Ghana some if it is hidden under Benin and Togo. Some Nigerian is hidden under that as well. And some Nigerian is hidden under Cameroon.
I came out 4% Mali and 4% Senegal
Yes I did have that link too,they link me to my aunt by my mother side to her daughter and her daughter as First and second cousin.i was so impressed
That's so cool
Quite a lot of enslaved people were taken from ghana.
Thanks for sharing ❤
You have a cute accent. I'm still waiting my DNA test results . Cant wait!
Thank you, how exciting 😊 Do you have any rough estimate of what your results will be?
My family has done much research and know we got much English, some German, some African and lots of Native American. But I am like my fathers blonde haired blue eyed side not my mom's beautiful tanned skin , dark haired and dark eyed side. I may not have much of mm's DNA. I hope my sisters will test also. I want to know more about ALL my ancestry.
@@Xelee1 That's such an interesting mix
@@Thepearlsandperils Southeastern USA. Melungeons on one side therefore at least a triracial mix.
Maybe one of your ancestors left the Bahamas and migrated to Jamaica
I think so too, just unsure whether that was from my Mum or Dad's side of the family 😊
You have a great personality
Thank you
Nice results! :D
You have pretty high European compared to other Jamaican results I’ve seen on YT.
Thank you! 😊 I recently had my DNA results analysed with My Heritage DNA and the results were slightly different my european % was actually slighter with My Heritage DNA lol. I'll be doing a video soon comparing my results.
The Pearls and Perils I see, ancestry is more accurate tho.
MyHeritage could possibly give you higher European cuz that they’ve got a good reference population for Europeans, anyhoo I’m waiting 😊
You are so beautiful my Nigerian sister ❤️🥰
Thank you
Namibia is close enough 😄
🙊🙊 I have to go to SA one day too 🥰
I love your accent.
Thank you
When they say it can range from something to something percent what they mean Is that they think you're that, but, a little bit of that or all of that could be a neighbor ethnicity and vise versa
Welcome to NGR..........Bawoni
I just did mine waiting on my result 🇯🇲
I don't know why you think portugal is soo random..English people commonly get portugal or spain in their results they are european counties. Just like Africans get bits of differnt countries on the continent of Africa in their results, there were mixes between different European groups in the continent of Europe
You are from the West Coast, I.e. West Africa. West Africa was known as the West Coast before the Europeans divided Africa into countries. Any West African that has done their DNA would have presence in a lot of West African countries and beyond.
You have a lot of Nigeria in you. According to DNA, on average Nigerians are 75% Nigerians; the other percentage are from other West African countries and other countries.
The tribe that she most likely comes from is the Yoruba tribe. This is the tribe that straddles Nigeria, Benin and Togo. There are Yorubas in each of these modern day countries. How do I know? I'm a Yoruba man and therefore a continental African who did a DNA test and discovered that I'm 72% Nigerian and 28% Benin and Togo. Yorubas were separated by colonisation.
The Ewes also occupy Togo, Benin and Nigeria. Let me not forget Ghana
@@selasedu: Wow …. I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info. However, I also discovered when I read some of the comments that the lady in question i.e. "The Pearls and Perils" confirmed in a reply to Courtney Davis that she is indeed of Yoruba heritage, in which she says "That's so interesting I'm also part Yoruba, Mandeka and Masai 🥰".
@@blackmagic6 The Ewes lived in what is now known as the Osun and Kwara states of Nigeria. Two states currently dominated by Yoruba people. The Ewes ultimately moved westward in large numbers as a result of the rise of the Oyo empire.
Benin which was once called Dahomey, translates to land of the snakes in Ewe/Fon. Cotonou the capital translates to death at the mouth of the river Bank in Ewe/Fon.
@UCH114rtfNx9MwAh_qPQs9Zg: Once again thanks for the info. This is something that interests me so you’ve definitely given me something to research. One of the causes for the break up and separation of African people was definitely colonialism. The more I discover the impact of colonialism, the more I feel we as Africans need to acknowledge it…. because of the legacy of the trauma that it has caused.
@@blackmagic6 I agree! Wish you all the best
I'm jamaican too . I didn't have Senegal either. I also have south Asian and central Asian dna because my great grandfather and great grandmother on my dads side were from india . My nigeria is 46% but with the updates I'm sure it will changed I also had Mayan and Inca dna not too many black people have native dna only a few .
The Portuguese and Senegalese hint are probably Colonial Ancestry in Jamaica dating back to when it was under Spanish rule (Santiago). You’re Jamaican af

You sound like Adele! Maybe you live in the same area of the UK
Really? 😂 I don't hear the resemblance at all.
The countries are just colonial demarcation!!! If your from Africa we are a mixture of Bantu Nilotic and Cushitic people.
Ancestry DNA videos cannot be complete until you name your paternal and maternal haplogroups and from which countries your DNA matches came from. As a matter of fact, as far as I'm concerned, your DNA matches is as important as the demographics. Your maternal and paternal haplogroups show your founding roots.
People we're probably mobile so married people from other places..hence DNA. But I do not like the change cause it leaves you unsure of truth.
Additionally you are an Igbo woman.
16% is good.
Y'sralite sister!
YOU ARE SO CUTE BEAUTIFUL SKIN NICE SMILE.
🇳🇬🇳🇬💚
It's good to know where your Ancestors came from as we were taken as slaves and lost our true Identy

Please be related to the Kamala.
Bless you for this. We all need the truth AS FAMILIES LIE..RRMEMBER PLACE IS NOT DNA..IF I WAS BORN IN AFRICA I WOULD NOT BE African. IM FRENCH. PLACE IS NOTHING AND NOT DNA AS ANCESTORS MOVED ALL OVER WORLD. I THOUGHT I WAS Half FRENCH AND HALF PORTUGUESE. I HAVE NO..NO. PORTUGUESE. 74% FRENCH, 14% BRITISH And 2% Norway. . So I'm am thrilled for you. Families lie horrid
This show your people are Hebrews who migrated through Africa
Load of bs
Remember men go and breed everywhere
I love your results and your enthusiasm!🥰your ancestry and your genealogy is the most interesting thing to learn about yourself honestly! I said the same thing you said, I plan on visiting the countries that come up on my results too
It really is so interesting to learn. Now I'm motivated to research even more into it. What's your dna heritage 🥰?
You are not Nigerian, you have ancestors who lived in Nigeria long time ago and are probably not related to all today's Nigerians.
Ignore all whom are too scared to do DNA test
Unno cah habe Jamaican dna, we is a culture. Mi backfoot unno fool fool sah
The truth is that you are 100% ECOWASIAN (WEST AFRICAN ZONE)
Our ancestors were bought to America, and the Caribbean islands, as slaves.... Although they were though of as being Africans, they as well as you are not Africans... Please let me explain..... I'm sure you know about the flood where Noah, his wife and their 3 sons and their wives were the only people left on earth... Ham the youngest son of Noah, was the progenitor of the dark races, like the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Canaanites, Libyans, and Africans, but not the Negroes...... Shem, was the progenitor of the Negroes, and he was the father of Abraham who was the first Hebrew, and the father of Isacc, and Is acc was the father of Esau, and Jacob.... GOD changed Jacob's name to Israel, Jacob was the father of 12 sons, who became the 12 tribes of Israel.... GOD made a covenant with Israel and told them what would happen if they broke the covenant..... Which they did.....( Please read your Bible in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28, regarding the blessing and the cursess).... After the tribe of Judah did evil, they were run out of Israel, by the Romans into Africa where they finally settled in West Africa.... ( Please do a Internet search for the New and Accurate Map of Negro Land )...... There you will see the Gold Coast, Ivory Coast, and the Slave Coast, along with the Kingdom of Judah..... When Slavery started in Africa, it was not Africans who was sold into slavery.... It was the original Hebrews, from the tribe of Judah.... It was your and my, forefathers who were slaves.... In 1999, President Mathieu Kerekou, of Benin issued a national apology for the role Africans played in the Atlantic Slave Trade.... You were never African, but you are a Hebrew by birth right!!!!
You should not be too shocked about the Senegalese presence in your DNA. Dutty Boukman, who read out that celebrated speech during the famous voudon ceremony held in Bois Caiman (Alligator Woods) that sparked the slave rebellion that eventually became the Haitian revolution, actually came from Jamaica but was born in the Senegambia (Senegal/Gambia) region. So you may well be related to one of the most important black people to have ever lived, the catalyst of one of the most momentous events in history!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutty_Boukman#Ceremony_at_the_Bois_Ca%C3%AFman
I am surprised too. I thought you have Ghanaian genes.☝️
