Be that as it may, he’s entitled to feel however he wants to feel about it though. I don’t think that anyone would exactly be thrilled to find out they were the byproduct of rape. We all know it happened…but still it’s not “great news”. On the flip, I know many white folks that would absolutely freak out if they had African ancestry.
❤❤❤❤❤... I now wonder how many other African American blacks never considered that they were created through the slave trade? We got to learn American. Critical race theory is not a theory it's American history.
I am white by appearance and cultural experience. While doing family research I came across census records of my family being free people of color. We are melungeon, a mix of European, African and native, some were light skinned enough to pass for white some were very dark. My point being, it is possible that your mix came from people who loved each other and didn't see race as a barrier. I sadly agree with everything you said being most likely....I am very moved by what I discovered about the Freeman side of my family. Turns out it was a declaration that became our family name. There is a hidden history of isolate communities of free people of color mixing with and living free but hiding from the establishment. A story untold. My great grandmother referred to us as black dutch, Mississippi slang for mixed heritage. She would say, we ain't American, we black dutch, don t tell anyone cause it ain't safe.... now that I understand what she meant I wish I could tell her , no grandma we are American, and it's safe now. I pray that your journey into your roots shows you things that lift your spirit . And thank you for sharing such an honest and personal video, it's conversations that start with videos like this that will lead to cultural healing and personal grounding, don't get any more beautiful than that!
I'm a Yoruba descendant on both sides. My mother is Puerto Rican and my papi is Cubano. My whole family going back to Nigeria practices the Yoruba religion of IFA in an unbroken line💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽
I’m glad you came back and explained yourself. My results is Akan also and I was happy because I had an interest in the Akan. I felt like I was drawn to studying about it. I’m not from a urban area and most people around me don’t know or show interest in the motherland. I have always had a longing. African Ancestry rocks
I’m thinking about adding to my name. I am all female bruh..lol. The name halmamama is from a drama I use to watch with my daughter. I will research even more to add something that fits me, Afia and something else.
It's possible the paternal "European ancestry" might be incorrect. I say this because there are some Africans that have the haplogroup "R1b" that originated in West Eurasia, most western European males have this haplogroup. But some Africans have this as well because in the bronze age some Eurasians migrated and mixed with Africans. I remember I was reading a study and it said that 11% of Bakongo men have this "R1b" haplogroup but they automatically assumed it was from recently, from Portuguese men colonizing the Congo and Angola. But this doesn't make sense because when you test the average bakongo person in ancestry DNA, they get 100% African so they have no European in them. I hope you read this and have a nice day
Your haplogroup reflects a tiny part of your overall DNA. It may not be exactly right when they say Portugal. Hard to explain but most European men in America have some type of R1b.
@@Lonnell99 they have R-V88. This is distantly related to the R that Europeans have. R and Q both came from P in Central Asia but R moved towards Europe but some went to Africa.
@Artisan_King, Thank you for a great educative presentation, I have subscribed I'm also in the process of waiting on my African Ancestry MatriKlan test kit, so excited and will be following in your footsteps into the journey of researching the Ancrestral connectins.P.S as I complete this message the test has arrived !!!!! Now for the long wait 10 weeks, sigh, lol
Peace brother give thanks for this video as well as the research you have put in. I did my African Ancestry tests in 2010 with my matrilineal ancestry being connected to Temne of Sierra Leone, Kru of Liberia and Mandinka of Senegal. All of which can be found within each country as they have been around before the colonial borders. My paternal ancestry is of Ewe of Ghana. I made my first trip to Africa this past year going to Sierra Leone fortunately twice. Sierra Leone is the only country to my knowledge that have given citizenship based off of DNA. As they have done so for celebrities like Isaiah Washington. Well I was part of a group he recently received citizenship this past November in Sierra Leone. It’s important to know when we find our results we are welcomed by our brothers, sisters, cousins back home. Salute my fellow Ghanian brother. I just subscribed keep up the good works.

It’s interesting that you mentioned the passport because even though we received dual citizenship they did not allow us to leave with our Salone passports in hand. We had intended on going back in April before covid hit. Hopefully there will be no issue with receiving it when I do get a chance to travel there again. Peace and Blessings.
That's why they recommend the Maternal DNA test and not Paternal for the very reason why you're upset. Yes, they used our female ancestors for sex as well as labor.
i heard it much different that X DNA carries more significance. maybe that is so in some tribes and not in others. the X DNA interest me moreso than Y.
@@iknowthetruthcommonsense3643That's only true in a society that looks at lineage solely through that lens. Most precolonial African societies were matrimonial. As well, identifying ourselves by the y chromosome that came from a European rapist and human trafficker would be unhealthy.
Brother man, akan (koromanti) culture can also be found on the northeast part of Mexico 🇲🇽 . Also, after the 1821 independence from the kingdom of Spain 🇪🇸!!! our first president of mexico was also biracial indigenous from Mexico and from mother Africa. So we can trace certain cultural similarities within mother Africa. Also, in Honduras 🇭🇳 too!!! Thank you brother for the great info 💯💯💯💯
Don't teach what you're earning... it is a life time struggle to acquire as oppose to immersing yourself in the custom and cultures of your ancestors... Our forebares often said.. learn to crawl before you learn to run. so long.
You did really good research and the Akan, Fon, Yoruba and Congo-Angola people did have a large impact in the Americas, but I think that the Mande people (Mandingo, Mende, etc.) arguably may have had the biggest impact of all. The Mande influence included stuff like rice, the banjo, blues music, Islam and a lot of other stuff in the Americas. Yes I took African Ancestry and I am Mande on my maternal and paternal lines.
@@sheenamiles1838 What nonsense are you even writing? Maybe you should try reading for comprehension. Then when your comprehension skills improve you should try rereading what what was actually written, because no where was it written that they created rice. You just lack reading comprehension and assumed stuff that was not actually written. However, rice was one of the staple crops of Mande people and the reason that South Carolina planters sought them. The Mande people then brought their music, which is now known as what we call the Blues. glc.yale.edu/gullah-rice-slavery-and-sierra-leone-american-connection glc.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/Gullah%20Song.pdf
Well.. "Mande" is just another subset of YÀRIBÁ "YÒRÚBÁ".. It is actually called MÈNDÉ and there are their localities abounding in "Yòrúbá" land today. 🧔🏿⚖️📜📖⏳⌛
Anyone with half a brain could have registered that he meant the mende were mostly farmers and influenced the rice game in the Americas ..like South Carolina...the gulla geechie ppl who largely descended from the mende show influence in their rice, music,and cultural sayings ex. "Koom-ba-ya"/ come by here ...my Lord
@@artisan_king460 thank you for responding family but what I was asking for is what’s the Letter and number of your haplogroup via L2a, L3e, L2c etc. ?
Yeah. They (African Ancestry) recommend that people do the mitochondrial dna test, even if you are male because of the Euro admixture tending to be running in the male line. The male test is going to very likely come out as Euro, which if you are looking specifically at your African genes, is useless.
Europeans weren't necessarily pure caucASIANS themselves. Even they have our bloodline as well: "It is a very great error to think of the Europeans as a pure white people". -Joel Rogers, '100 Amazing Facts About the Negro with Complete Proof: A Short Cut to The World History of The Negro', 1934
Henry Luis Gates first test showed all European ancestry and he had to take a second test to get the African ancestry. Did you know more people of African descent were shipped to South America than slaves sent to North America? I spent 20 years doing research on my Grandmother’s mother and father family. I was given my first clue by my genealogical advisor that my grandmother’s family had a Scottish last name Wilson on both sides for 4 maybe 5 generations. A Wilson married a Wilson unrelated and I traced them on census records. Then I researched how Scottish men interact with people who were of African & Cherokee’s origin. Spain can also inter the picture they too were involved in slavery which gets you to Mexico, Central America, and South America. The Scottish were involved in the sugarcane shipping trade in Jamaica, slave trade, plantation owners and it becomes very clear why there are so many Scottish names showing up in so many different areas of the earth. It is a lot of work but I wanted to know my family’s story. I wrote down oral stories. Then I researched to see if it matched up with history, the time period and historical records. Henry Louis Gates jr said that only 5% of all African-Americans have Native American ancestry. One member of my family walked the trail of tears and she was black. She was born in one of the states, Tennessee, which was part of the Cherokee nation. She was a slave of wealthy Cherokee. A lot of people do not know wealthy Cherokee owned slaves and many of them walked the trail of tears ( walking 800 miles to be west of the Mississippi river). The wealthy Cherokee had strong ties with Scottish. Scottish men could not own land that belong to the Cherokee’s but they could marry into the woman’s clan and their children would inherit the land. These men taught their children the Economics of slavery. They also educated their children in the north their sons became doctors and lawyers they built real towns that had streets and churches schools and they built houses well their slaves did most of the work. From time to time some Cherokees that were mixed with Scottish blood built Scottish Manors There are many African Americans that have Scottish last names. I followed my family by census records to confirm that the stories matched up with history. One woman in particular in our family records it mentions she was a free black woman from England who traveled to America before slavery had ended. Another story my grandmother told me was her mothers name was Halle Quinn Wilson. The Quinn sounded very different in the name and she didn’t know where that name came from. But when I interviewed her sister she told me that their mother was named after a famous black woman. That woman was named Holly Quinn Brown look her up she is a fantastic lady! The name Quinn came from honoring a bishop from the AME church. He stood on the free side of the river and preach to the slaves on the other side of the river. So don’t get discouraged because there are so many wonderful and interesting people who are part of our family’s history. Sometimes I got so attached to these people when it dawned on me that they have long since passed off the scene, but will be remembered only if, we keep talking about them or reading or writing their stories down. Think of it as a giant 5000 piece puzzle, but when you finish putting all the pieces together it becomes very clear it’s a beautiful portrait of your family.
Brother, where did you buy your dnatest kit from? I am living in Europe and planning to do an african ancestry result. Please could you help me out with advice? Thx
Okay cool bruh. I need to know your origins in regards to the slave trade. In general I would have to say at this point and time. Its best to get a 23andme time gone before Africanancestry because you can see if your haplotypes are of afro, euro or asian descent beforehand.
@@artisan_king460 Thank you for your response. Well mother and grandmother are from Haïti. Father born in Dutch Antilles from African descendants too, and father knows for sure that his maternal lineage is from Ghana. They even gave father a nickname from a place in Ghana.

Thx in advance
@@brotheramos1613 Beautiful heritage bruh! Well from what you told me your maternal and paternal results with Africanancestry should come back African. But if you have any doubts 23andme will give you your haplo & subclade. Keep me posted on your journey bruh.
@@artisan_king460 Thx for your reply. I will take this in consideration and look for the price. We are eager to know our roots .sometimes you feel incomplete because you do not know your roots. If I order a test and have results back I will inform you. Thx
Glad you made another video maybe one day you will meet a someone from the same Ethnic as you and learn even more about Akan ppl I believe that’s one of the best ways to learn more about your history as long as don’t suffer from tribalism and their heart is in the right place. I since I took a test from Ancestrydna I found Two Igbo and one Yoruba match which I hope he message me back soon. I try not to be too pushy and demanding from I want to know things.
My niece wanted to find out where our Y chromosome came from because she had done one for the maternal side and found out she was Fulani I think. So she was looking for paternal and I agreed to do it and it came out to be Portugal. Also on a side note I don't know who's doing these pronunciations on the African tribes but it sounds as though the way a Hispanic person would pronounce them.
You can also check your mother’s father line. Even though you are not a direct descendant of his father line but you do share about a quarter of his dna. It may be interesting to check some of your close dna cousins that you may share gr grandparents with. This can be achieved if you do 23andme. The problem is if or not do you share same parent lines in the past.
Brother you are giving me more proof of my ancestry research. My last name is balanta, which is a surname in colombia from my paternal line. Crazy thing, it is from the darker shade of my family in colombia. Also, I also seen it written as “Balante”
Wow this is fascinating! In many cases african born captives were given a slave name, usually christian and their tribe of origin or port where they were shipped from served as a surname.
Viejo, has investigado? Justo me hacía esa pregunta. He pensado por esos lares de la esclavitud pero no sé si ya hay acceso virtual al registro histórico de la nación (aunque en los libros eclesiásticos viejos si hay información).
Glad to see a fellow Black not happy to see "european blood" in your ancestry !!!!! I don't want to take those ancestry searches because I would not want to find out I have White slavers blood in my system ! No way !! And for the "deflectors" if I have Black slaves blood it would not upset me !!!!!!!!.
Portuguese were the first European to enslave African people (during fifteenth century). Maybe when your ancestors landed in USA they already had Iberian origins. The only eastern African country who was involved in the slave trade was Mozambico which was a Portuguese colony. There is still a castle in Mozambico and it was used for that horrible trade.
Grace and peace brother... what happened, you disappeared on us. You seem to poses a wealth of African cultural information. Brother your knowledge is need. People like me who have done their DNA, but are forced to load the results into GED-Match for clearer results. Yet even after doing so we are still just as lost to understanding the results as it relates to the tribes associated with our DNA. The result of my primary Population sources from GEDmatch beginning with the closest distance are: Bamoun (Ethiopian Jews), ...Kaba (Biaka Pygimes) and Fang (Mada). I've tried to research these group but have found a lot of conflicting information. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance brother.
When are you going to make some more videos? Are you on FB? African Amcestry FB page is awesome. Please post your results on the African Ancestry FB page. 👍🏾💛
Hahaahaa my fellow Akan bro you have Akan written all over you, you’re representing with all the Adinkra symbols on your page logo says it all and I know deep down you are happy and shocked because Akans don’t come up on these ancestry dna 🧬 often. All the different Akan groups are the same blood and the same culture just people moved different parts of the region and get their group names for what they are known for or the main settlers name, all the Akan groups in Ivory Coast are directly from the Asante area as well and moved on to Ivory Coast area when they didn’t want to be part of wars going on back then so it’s not something to worry about really. Akwaaba brother and oh please don’t forget to drop your Akan name here. Mine is Adwoa born on Monday/Edwoada. Akan sista ❤️🤓🥳🤩
Thanks for the warm welcome and support sis! Yes I've noticed all the Akan symbols around me after I posted my first video. Prior to my results I just chalked it up to Akan being commonly known in the diaspora. The name is Ɔ̀kɔ́tɔ. The last tone is flat but i couldn't find it. Thanks again for the love ✨👍🏾👑👍🏿✨
Artisan_King Aaaaaw awesome name. Ôkôtô means the “Crab”. But your automatic Akan name should be the day of the month you were born. So google your date of birth:month/day/year to see what day of the month you were born and that gives you your first ever soul name+Ôkôtô. For males soul names: Sunday- Kwasi Monday- Kwadwo/kojo/joo/joojo Tuesday- Kwabena/Ekow/Kobii/Kobbi Wednesday - Kwaku/Kuu/Kuuku Thursday- Yaw Friday- Kofi/Koo/Kofie/Fiifi/Fii Saturday- Kwame/Kwamena
I don't believe so. They don't consider the colonial era of the US, the needs of that particular colony, and who was brought there to supply those agricultural needs.

You're forgetting that the Iberian Penninsula was occupied by dark skin, different ethnic groups from Kemet aka Alkebulan, the "world" ignorantly calls Africa. Also, this continent is only around 20 miles to the Iberian Penninsula, now called Spain/Portugal. Read about the Moorish Kingdom that ruled from 711AD to 1492.
The Puerto Rico map is not accurate. On my mom's father side they had ancestry from Angola/Congo area and researching that time period when they arrived to Puerto Rico.

I did my research also and it traces back to the Akan people in Ghana.I'm Jamaican and we have a oral history that says we come from the Akan People.The Akan People were fighting the Fante people.The Fante people sold their Akan war captives to the British who shipped them to JAMAICA.The Akan sold their Fante war captives to the Dutch who shipped them to Brazil.

Even if the Y chromosome traces back to Portugal and Spain, you’re still a brother among all of us black people at the end of the day. Congrats on your maternal results and that they are traced back to present day Ghana.🇬🇭 I have white relatives who are distant and it’s because 2 percent is Europe and it’s from my maternal grandmother’s father being a white passing offspring between a white man from Great Britain and black/mixed woman from The Bahamas. Even knowing the setbacks, I was still able to take the MatriClan test and it traced back to 🇲🇱 Mali.
Damn, that’s gotta hurt. I’d be devastated. Sorry❤️ I was scared to do mine cause my mother and grandmother both look mixed. I don’t but they do. Both have black parents. So I had low expectations.

Fidel Castro strongly recognized it and consulted the deities before making a decisive move. went to the Schomburg!!! must be a Harlem bruh. Definitely subscribing
I know DNA testing can be very scary if you're an Afrocentric Black person of the diaspora. As much as I love African ancestry I have to say it probably I'm our best interest to start with 23andme. Even though those companies aren't anywhere near as trust worthy as African ancestry.
I have some doubts about African Ancestry as I sent my father’s dna and I know even by documents he has an Angolan-Congolese origin on his father’s side though his Y DNA came out to be from Balanta people from northwestern Africa, it’s kinda far. Also I would say that many relations between enslaved women and white men were consensual I don’t know if it makes better or worse for an African American but I find it better than assume all of us mixed people came from rape.
Yes that is extremely far. I also have similar doubts, however we should keep in mind that Europeans traded us like Pokemon cards. Not only in the "New world" but also along the coastlines of West and Central Africa.
There are actually other possibilities as to why you may have Spanish/Portuguese ancestor on your Y chromosome other than the one you mentioned. 1) We have the Spanish/Portuguese expelled Jews in the Americas. Many anglicised their names. Quite a few also had mixed relations. 2) We tend to think enslaved people did not travel or migrate once they reached the Americas but this isn't true. There was definitely movement between Haiti, Barbados, Jamaica, and Suriname with the US states. 3) Spain once controlled vast areas of what is now part of the southern and western US. Also, you have ports like New Orleans in Louisiana that traded with Spanish colonies. At one point between 1763 - 1803, New Orleans was controlled by Spain. It would be interesting to look into your family genealogy and see if any of this is part of your family story.
Great talk,, i was also a bit pathetic with that DNA test kinda, but wel we all wanna learn something or actually find back out selves... the BA KONGO is the main group. we have many other brides, yes we are all the BA KONGO as ethnicity , like the BA VILI they have been shifted from places to places now i really wanna learn more about my ancestry .. I believe that one day will definitely be told clearly, Much appreciation and respect Brother stay Blessed
Don't focus too much on your Y chromosome, your X chromosome is Akan which means you are decendent of people who have matrilineal tradition in terms of inheritance , royal succession line etc....
it honestly sucks i found oy my great grandma was raped making my grandfather mixedi feel so robbed i want to cry i hate tht yt ppl did this to our ppl
Some men profiting from slaving were also sub-Saharan African. Had you had a sub-Saharan Y chromosome, you could still have received it via males descended in the male line from a slaver. The sad fact is that slave trading and slave holding is part of human history generally.
That's not true, my Grammaw is from Oklahoma and her name is Juanita. And I am Yoruba Igbo and Akan and Mende as well as Maasai Amazigh and Swahili on my dad's side. It all points to the Gullah people and Caribbean people trafficked to the Carolinas or at least through there, my dad is almost 92% African.

Thanks for your post. I am from the European created country called NIGERIA. I belong to one of the ethnic nations you showed on your map; Biafra.

Even if there were unadmixed Native American males with that haplogroup, it would still most likely be from Eurasian origins from the Siberian populations that made up what are now Native/Indigineous Americans.
@@apgeneticgenealogylover6601 Google Dr. Clyde Winters and look at some of his research. Also you can Google biblical anthropologist and Abraham Genetic lineage. You can also try the biblical significance of R,-M173.

Brother my Paternal DNA 🧬 came back to Spain 🇪🇸 as well. This was amazing because our oral family history stated that the slave owner of a plantation in Culloden, Georgia fell in love with my Great Great Great Grandmother who was a slave on the plantation. She was said to have been a beautiful woman and the slave owner fell in love with her and wanted to marry her but the law at that time didn’t allow a white person to marry a NEGRO. So he had for sons by her. I’m a descendant of the first born son who was never sold like his three other brothers. He was allowed to stay on the land and upon the slave owners death he left him many acres of land in Culloden, Georgia. The African Ancestry paternal test results confirmed this oral history that has been passed down in the family. I was surprised because my slave last name is Irish and not Spanish but my Ancestry DNA results did show 1% Spanish.
If he sold three of his son's that he had with the woman he was said to have loved, then he did not actually love her. Do you think she loved him if he sold her children? Your oral history seems to have been romanticized to avoid the harsh reality
@@michaelmichael8314 Not to sure if he loved her or not but he didn’t sell my ancestor. Also he may have sold them to prove that he wasn’t in love with a slave and to keep his plantations. He had an upper and lower plantation. He was one of the biggest slavers in the area. Who knows. He did leave my ancestor a lot of land and he was a free man during slavery in Georgia
Being a African American, this test was a must have. Just got my results back from my Maternal Ancestry and love what I found out. Maternal results are Fula people from Guinea Bissau and Mende from Sierra Leone 🇬🇼🇸🇱

Be that as it may, he’s entitled to feel however he wants to feel about it though. I don’t think that anyone would exactly be thrilled to find out they were the byproduct of rape. We all know it happened…but still it’s not “great news”. On the flip, I know many white folks that would absolutely freak out if they had African ancestry.
❤❤❤❤❤... I now wonder how many other African American blacks never considered that they were created through the slave trade? We got to learn American. Critical race theory is not a theory it's American history.
So, the Africans wasnt doing any rapes to the slaves they was selling? How do you think you got that African DNA? You don't even know who you are!
I am white by appearance and cultural experience. While doing family research I came across census records of my family being free people of color. We are melungeon, a mix of European, African and native, some were light skinned enough to pass for white some were very dark. My point being, it is possible that your mix came from people who loved each other and didn't see race as a barrier. I sadly agree with everything you said being most likely....I am very moved by what I discovered about the Freeman side of my family. Turns out it was a declaration that became our family name. There is a hidden history of isolate communities of free people of color mixing with and living free but hiding from the establishment. A story untold. My great grandmother referred to us as black dutch, Mississippi slang for mixed heritage. She would say, we ain't American, we black dutch, don t tell anyone cause it ain't safe.... now that I understand what she meant I wish I could tell her , no grandma we are American, and it's safe now. I pray that your journey into your roots shows you things that lift your spirit .

It's possible the paternal "European ancestry" might be incorrect. I say this because there are some Africans that have the haplogroup "R1b" that originated in West Eurasia, most western European males have this haplogroup. But some Africans have this as well because in the bronze age some Eurasians migrated and mixed with Africans. I remember I was reading a study and it said that 11% of Bakongo men have this "R1b" haplogroup but they automatically assumed it was from recently, from Portuguese men colonizing the Congo and Angola. But this doesn't make sense because when you test the average bakongo person in ancestry DNA, they get 100% African so they have no European in them.
I hope you read this and have a nice day
Also the Hausa men carry eurasian haplogroup R1b
They have played a lot of games with the Haplogroupse
You are absolutely incorrect normalizing rape smh
Your haplogroup reflects a tiny part of your overall DNA. It may not be exactly right when they say Portugal. Hard to explain but most European men in America have some type of R1b.
@@Lonnell99 they have R-V88. This is distantly related to the R that Europeans have. R and Q both came from P in Central Asia but R moved towards Europe but some went to Africa.

Hi, What Are Your Results❔
Peace brother give thanks for this video as well as the research you have put in. I did my African Ancestry tests in 2010 with my matrilineal ancestry being connected to Temne of Sierra Leone, Kru of Liberia and Mandinka of Senegal. All of which can be found within each country as they have been around before the colonial borders. My paternal ancestry is of Ewe of Ghana. I made my first trip to Africa this past year going to Sierra Leone fortunately twice. Sierra Leone is the only country to my knowledge that have given citizenship based off of DNA. As they have done so for celebrities like Isaiah Washington. Well I was part of a group he recently received citizenship this past November in Sierra Leone. It’s important to know when we find our results we are welcomed by our brothers, sisters, cousins back home. Salute my fellow Ghanian brother. I just subscribed keep up the good works.
Will do bruh and thanks!

@@Diwani_Spark14 Wow, Why Didn't They Allow You To Get The Passport Then❔
That's why they recommend the Maternal DNA test and not Paternal for the very reason why you're upset. Yes, they used our female ancestors for sex as well as labor.
i heard it much different that X DNA carries more significance. maybe that is so in some tribes and not in others. the X DNA interest me moreso than Y.
The Y chromosome is the bloodline
The X chromosome is the mtdna
Your origin is the Y
@@iknowthetruthcommonsense3643That's only true in a society that looks at lineage solely through that lens. Most precolonial African societies were matrimonial. As well, identifying ourselves by the y chromosome that came from a European rapist and human trafficker would be unhealthy.

Hi, What Are Your Results❔
So much history, so interesting to see how these concepts are playing out with the changes taking place in 2020...
My greatest hope aside from our liberation is that we start looking towards our african roots as we move forward.
You did really good research and the Akan, Fon, Yoruba and Congo-Angola people did have a large impact in the Americas, but I think that the Mande people (Mandingo, Mende, etc.) arguably may have had the biggest impact of all. The Mande influence included stuff like rice, the banjo, blues music, Islam and a lot of other stuff in the Americas. Yes I took African Ancestry and I am Mande on my maternal and paternal lines.
They did not create rice or blues that's a lie wow
@@sheenamiles1838 What nonsense are you even writing? Maybe you should try reading for comprehension. Then when your comprehension skills improve you should try rereading what what was actually written, because no where was it written that they created rice. You just lack reading comprehension and assumed stuff that was not actually written. However, rice was one of the staple crops of Mande people and the reason that South Carolina planters sought them. The Mande people then brought their music, which is now known as what we call the Blues.

Well.. "Mande" is just another subset of YÀRIBÁ "YÒRÚBÁ".. It is actually called MÈNDÉ and there are their localities abounding in "Yòrúbá" land today.

Yes my matrilineal haplotype is common among the Akan.
@@artisan_king460 thank you for responding family but what I was asking for is what’s the Letter and number of your haplogroup via L2a, L3e, L2c etc. ?
@@kwabenaasante1908 L2a
@@artisan_king460 once again Thanks for responding
@@kwabenaasante1908 Not a problem at all. Knowledge is power and that is our people need to share. What were your results?
Yeah. They (African Ancestry) recommend that people do the mitochondrial dna test, even if you are male because of the Euro admixture tending to be running in the male line. The male test is going to very likely come out as Euro, which if you are looking specifically at your African genes, is useless.
Europeans weren't necessarily pure caucASIANS themselves. Even they have our bloodline as well:
"It is a very great error to think of the Europeans as a pure white people". -Joel Rogers, '100 Amazing Facts About the Negro with Complete Proof: A Short Cut to The World History of The Negro', 1934
Henry Luis Gates first test showed all European ancestry and he had to take a second test to get the African ancestry. Did you know more people of African descent were shipped to South America than slaves sent to North America?
I spent 20 years doing research on my Grandmother’s mother and father family. I was given my first clue by my genealogical advisor that my grandmother’s family had a Scottish last name Wilson on both sides for 4 maybe 5 generations. A Wilson married a Wilson unrelated and I traced them on census records. Then I researched how Scottish men interact with people who were of African & Cherokee’s origin.
Spain can also inter the picture they too were involved in slavery which gets you to Mexico, Central America, and South America.
The Scottish were involved in the sugarcane shipping trade in Jamaica, slave trade, plantation owners and it becomes very clear why there are so many Scottish names showing up in so many different areas of the earth.
It is a lot of work but I wanted to know my family’s story. I wrote down oral stories. Then I researched to see if it matched up with history, the time period and historical records.
Henry Louis Gates jr said that only 5% of all African-Americans have Native American ancestry. One member of my family walked the trail of tears and she was black. She was born in one of the states, Tennessee, which was part of the Cherokee nation. She was a slave of wealthy Cherokee. A lot of people do not know wealthy Cherokee owned slaves and many of them walked the trail of tears ( walking 800 miles to be west of the Mississippi river). The wealthy Cherokee had strong ties with Scottish. Scottish men could not own land that belong to the Cherokee’s but they could marry into the woman’s clan and their children would inherit the land. These men taught their children the Economics of slavery. They also educated their children in the north their sons became doctors and lawyers they built real towns that had streets and churches schools and they built houses well their slaves did most of the work. From time to time some Cherokees that were mixed with Scottish blood built Scottish Manors There are many African Americans that have Scottish last names.
I followed my family by census records to confirm that the stories matched up with history. One woman in particular in our family records it mentions she was a free black woman from England who traveled to America before slavery had ended. Another story my grandmother told me was her mothers name was Halle Quinn Wilson. The Quinn sounded very different in the name and she didn’t know where that name came from. But when I interviewed her sister she told me that their mother was named after a famous black woman. That woman was named Holly Quinn Brown look her up she is a fantastic lady! The name Quinn came from honoring a bishop from the AME church. He stood on the free side of the river and preach to the slaves on the other side of the river.
So don’t get discouraged because there are so many wonderful and interesting people who are part of our family’s history. Sometimes I got so attached to these people when it dawned on me that they have long since passed off the scene, but will be remembered only if, we keep talking about them or reading or writing their stories down. Think of it as a giant 5000 piece puzzle, but when you finish putting all the pieces together it becomes very clear it’s a beautiful portrait of your family.

My niece wanted to find out where our Y chromosome came from because she had done one for the maternal side and found out she was Fulani I think. So she was looking for paternal and I agreed to do it and it came out to be Portugal. Also on a side note I don't know who's doing these pronunciations on the African tribes but it sounds as though the way a Hispanic person would pronounce them.
That's awesome! If you have any doubts about having an African Y-chromosome results, i would suggest 23andme first.
@@artisan_king460 No doubt because I had previously done Ancestry and in the updated reconfiguration I came up 2% Portugal.

You can also check your mother’s father line. Even though you are not a direct descendant of his father line but you do share about a quarter of his dna. It may be interesting to check some of your close dna cousins that you may share gr grandparents with. This can be achieved if you do 23andme. The problem is if or not do you share same parent lines in the past.

Portuguese were the first European to enslave African people (during fifteenth century). Maybe when your ancestors landed in USA they already had Iberian origins. The only eastern African country who was involved in the slave trade was Mozambico which was a Portuguese colony. There is still a castle in Mozambico and it was used for that horrible trade.

@@missbabyloved7531 I have heard people say that the Fante tribe just ruled over Akan subgroups for awhile to the point where people started considering the Fante tribe to be Akan people too.I am aware that most people consider the Fante people to be Akan people however there are still some people who don't consider Fante people to be Akan people.I also believe my ancestors were sold into slavery to Jamaica as a result of Fante and Asante conflict.
Fascinating
That's some good research but you can use those talents to help others. Maybe even working for a black research company or start your own local company that research for people imagine that.
Thanks bruh! ✊🏾🖤✊🏿 I appreciate that.
I’m Guyanese and we have a KWE KWE like a bachelorette party. That’s Yoruba all day.
That's awesome ✨🖤✨
My ADOS FAMILY Marry Guyanese & The Connection Is AKAN❣️
Your Puerto Rican map is actually Jamaican map.
Thanks. It was exhausting creating those graphics. I will be more vigilant next time.
Even if the Y chromosome traces back to Portugal and Spain, you’re still a brother among all of us black people at the end of the day.
Congrats on your maternal results and that they are traced back to present day Ghana.🇬🇭
I have white relatives who are distant and it’s because 2 percent is Europe and it’s from my maternal grandmother’s father being a white passing offspring between a white man from Great Britain and black/mixed woman from The Bahamas.
Even knowing the setbacks, I was still able to take the MatriClan test and it traced back to 🇲🇱 Mali.
excellent video. very intellectual.
Damn, that’s gotta hurt. I’d be devastated. Sorry❤️ I was scared to do mine cause my mother and grandmother both look mixed. I don’t but they do. Both have black parents. So I had low expectations. Lololol turns out I’m 91% African 🎊🎈 Somehow my uncle got my grandmother to take the test and turns out she’s 76% African. Shocker there. Thought she would be alot less. I guess you can’t judge a book by it’s color. Lol anyway, I’m 47% Igbo! Damn near half!! might as well say half….I’ll take it. Lololol Kinna disappointed was expecting Yoruba cause I’ve kinna embraced the Yoruba culture for years. But I’m too proud to be Igbo! Very proud! The men are fine…..
Look into the Iberian Peninsula (Spain/Portugal) it was occupied by a lot of North Africans and Moors. Before the area was colonized by Pales ...
Thanks bruh!
@@artisan_king460 This is 100 percent truth...The R haplogroup is a African haplogroup. The Moors ruled spain for 800 years.Where is all the children had?
truth there is no way all these dark skinned people.come from spain i mean its 23% of. 35 that come back with a r haplogroup in america which is really crazy but the moors/hebrews ruled spain for 800 years the impact these polygynous people had on the population was like a take over when it.comes to genes so yes i believe r1b is a a african haplogroup they are trying to hide for one reason are another
Moors were Arabs and north African berbers ( both caucasian races ) not blacks sub saharan Africans
I don't understand why African Americans try to claim every ones history except their own west African history 🤔
me scared to find out y chromones and may go nuts. may have to get drunk just to read results and i don't drink. especially if African DNA is highly mixed percentage wise. more interested in father's line. my papa was a king man all the way.
Love your research. Yoruba is strong in revolutionary Cuba like you pointed out. Fidel Castro strongly recognized it and consulted the deities before making a decisive move.
went to the Schomburg!!! must be a Harlem bruh. Definitely subscribing
Thanks 👍🏾
I know DNA testing can be very scary if you're an Afrocentric Black person of the diaspora. As much as I love African ancestry I have to say it probably I'm our best interest to start with 23andme. Even though those companies aren't anywhere near as trust worthy as African ancestry.
Where did u get ur necklace from
Nicholas at 1396 Fulton st in Brooklyn
I have some doubts about African Ancestry as I sent my father’s dna and I know even by documents he has an Angolan-Congolese origin on his father’s side though his Y DNA came out to be from Balanta people from northwestern Africa, it’s kinda far. Also I would say that many relations between enslaved women and white men were consensual I don’t know if it makes better or worse for an African American but I find it better than assume all of us mixed people came from rape.
Yes that is extremely far. I also have similar doubts, however we should keep in mind that Europeans traded us like Pokemon cards. Not only in the "New world" but also along the coastlines of West and Central Africa.
Excellent video !
Great video and Research
There are actually other possibilities as to why you may have Spanish/Portuguese ancestor on your Y chromosome other than the one you mentioned.
1) We have the Spanish/Portuguese expelled Jews in the Americas. Many anglicised their names. Quite a few also had mixed relations.
2) We tend to think enslaved people did not travel or migrate once they reached the Americas but this isn't true. There was definitely movement between Haiti, Barbados, Jamaica, and Suriname with the US states.
3) Spain once controlled vast areas of what is now part of the southern and western US. Also, you have ports like New Orleans in Louisiana that traded with Spanish colonies. At one point between 1763 - 1803, New Orleans was controlled by Spain.
It would be interesting to look into your family genealogy and see if any of this is part of your family story.
Great talk,, i was also a bit pathetic with that DNA test kinda, but wel we all wanna learn something or actually find back out selves... the BA KONGO is the main group. we have many other brides, yes we are all the BA KONGO as ethnicity , like the BA VILI they have been shifted from places to places now i really wanna learn more about my ancestry .. I believe that one day will definitely be told clearly, Much appreciation and respect Brother stay Blessed
Don't focus too much on your Y chromosome, your X chromosome is Akan which means you are decendent of people who have matrilineal tradition in terms of inheritance , royal succession line etc....
Thanks I'm working on a video about that
Big ups Family.
Thanks bruh
I was very disappointed too my mother line came up European so now im getting my father side is being tested hopefully it will come back African
I am very sorry to hear that.
Nice my big 🤟 good job
I have family from Guyana! Let me find out I have Akan lineage!
Yeah bruh, that may definitely be the case!
My ADOS Family Marry Guyanese & Probably Because Of Our AKAN ANCESTRY❣️
Representing Ayiti yeah!
All African Americans need to do paper research genealogy, piecing together all lines of their family tree
Facts 💯
Nice respect
And what makes you think your Spanish dna isn’t Moorish or Sephardic?
Fantastic...👍👍👍👍✌️
Actually the Spanish built a fort and may have got a few slaves
it honestly sucks i found oy my great grandma was raped making my grandfather mixedi feel so robbed i want to cry i hate tht yt ppl did this to our ppl
If it's any comfort, I thought you were my fellow Igbo tribesman before you started speaking. Vast numbers of Igbo people were also taken.
Some men profiting from slaving were also sub-Saharan African. Had you had a sub-Saharan Y chromosome, you could still have received it via males descended in the male line from a slaver. The sad fact is that slave trading and slave holding is part of human history generally.
Hope you visit Ghana 🇬🇭 soon
You’re leaving out the Igbo ethnic group of Nigeria. They were the 3rd largest ethnic group from Africa in the U.S. after Congo-Angola.
Akan that is Ghana..
Brother watch Benayah Israel's videos on Slaves from Portugal and Spain. Be blessed
Cool my friend
The introduction of the Y chromosome was not necessarily a result of slavery and rape. That is pure conjecture.
3:10.
That ain't Puerto Rico
That's not true, my Grammaw is from Oklahoma and her name is Juanita. And I am Yoruba Igbo and Akan and Mende as well as Maasai Amazigh and Swahili on my dad's side. It all points to the Gullah people and Caribbean people trafficked to the Carolinas or at least through there, my dad is almost 92% African. And i have a feeling my ancestors were enslaved by First nations people instead of Whites, because i have very little European ancestry, much less than my Native American and Polynesian. But most of my family's ancestry is Yoruba and Igbo.
Youruba did not come around until the 1800s
@@cutime6712 you must also understand that slaves were still being imported from the carribean even after the emancipation proclamation, and Igbo people, another closet related ethnic group were brought in officially since the 1700's. Either way my people have been in this country since at least 1860. And I'm living proof that all those different people came together to create me!
@@cutime6712 also many Yoruba we're brought as "by catch" of other neighboring people, and many were brought from the carribean.
@@omggiiirl2077 What Im saying many of the tribes you named did not exist prior to the 1800s. And their origins are either German Arab or Latin. Those names were given to them by the colonizer. They were not around in the 15th 16th 17th and 18th centuries
@@cutime6712 Yoruba people established as an ethnic group in the first millennium bc
Igbo at least 800 ce.
Akan around the 11th century but mind you they were called something different earlier than that.
Mende and mande speaking people 4000 bc Amazigh we're well documented in ancient Egypt and Rome.
Maasai 15th century
Swahili 1200ce
Hawaiians have been there since the 5th century a.d.
And first nations people have been in the Americas for tens of thousands of years, and I'm certain most of these people were in their homes for far longer, they just used a different name to call themselves. Only the nations like Nigeria, or Benin, Togo, and Kenya ivory coast are European inventions.
This was the same thing for me getting Spain. But I also can trace my ancestry back to Jamaica and as we know when the Spaniards first landed they ain’t being no women so we know what went down
I took the test and learned that I'm descended from the Balanta people of Guinea Bissau! ✊🏾✊🏾🇬🇼🇬🇼🇬🇼✊🏾✊🏾
Well, your ancestors! 😆 You're the second individual but she is Tuber who is British maternal.
Thanks for your post. I am from the European created country called NIGERIA. I belong to one of the ethnic nations you showed on your map; Biafra. Though not properly positioned on the map, should be close to where you have "Calabari".
Biafra is a major ethnic nation that comprises of many ethnicities and ethno subgroups in today's Nigeria, including the Calabari that you mentioned.
The Europeans have been fighting to exterminate every trace of the nation "Biafra".
Biafra includes ethnicities in today's Nigeria like: Ijaw, Efik, Ibibio, Anang, Calabari, Ogoni, which are Igbo Subgroups; other ethnicities of Biafra includes; Idoma, Igala and Bakasi.
Now we Biafrans are fighting to extricate ourselves from the mess called Nigeria, which the British put together for their own selfish interest, and is clearly only working for the British.
You should do your research properly, those tribes you mentioned are not biafra
@@sophiastephen3074
That's what the Fulani Caliphate and their British handlers suggest to you. But we know who we are. The region is called the Bight of Biafra for a reason.
@@sonofnok2153 well, It’s now called bight of Bonny and the Ibibios, efiks and ekoi whose kin are still in usak edet In Cameroon, were never Biafrans and will never be.
You might want to check our Dr. Clyde Winters research on haplogroup R and it actually being from Africa. If your y-dna happens to be R-M173 you might want to prepare yourself to be blown away. Biblical anthropologist are very interested in this haplogroup.
" haplogroup R and it actually being from Africa" you can say that of all haplogroups since going back far enough everyone comes from Africa. " R-M173 " is european.
@@apgeneticgenealogylover6601 I can tell you haven't done any real research just a blanket statement of R haplogroup being European. Did you know that over 50% of native American males are R-M173 and experts don't believe it could possibly be from European admixture. Do some real research beyond what the whites told you.
@@SpiritualBeliever-TMH I tried googling it. I doubt that considering lots and lots of Native Americans in the United States adamantly refuse to participate in any type of DNA. You couldn't pay a lot Native American people to do any kind of DNA. Plus lots of Native Americans in the United States are not "full blooded" but mixed with white. So to say that over 50% of unadmixed Native American males have a R paternal haplogroup is a stretch to say. Even if there were unadmixed Native American males with that haplogroup, it would still most likely be from Eurasian origins from the Siberian populations that made up what are now Native/Indigineous Americans.
@@apgeneticgenealogylover6601 Google Dr. Clyde Winters and look at some of his research. Also you can Google biblical anthropologist and Abraham Genetic lineage. You can also try the biblical significance of R,-M173.
@@SpiritualBeliever-TMH I Will Look At Clyde Winters Research & Find Out About The RM173, Thanks❣️
Bless 🤣🤣🤣🤣 most african Americans will have european paternal haplogroups 👀 unless you are from the Gullah people’s..... but you are blessed because your maternal is from one of the strongest tribes in the continent The Akan 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
That's a god damn lie. Only like 30% of Black American men have a European paternal haplogroup. It's alot but still is not most.
i'M SORRY my man but all of us are all mixed up . I like to say Heinz 57. Even Africans have different tribes from different parts of Africa . Whoever was in charge or had a bigger Army
There's no such thing as mixed, part, half or biracial
Awesome Report
Wahou good job
Brother my Paternal DNA 🧬 came back to Spain 🇪🇸 as well. This was amazing because our oral family history stated that the slave owner of a plantation in Culloden, Georgia fell in love with my Great Great Great Grandmother who was a slave on the plantation. She was said to have been a beautiful woman and the slave owner fell in love with her and wanted to marry her but the law at that time didn’t allow a white person to marry a NEGRO. So he had for sons by her. I’m a descendant of the first born son who was never sold like his three other brothers. He was allowed to stay on the land and upon the slave owners death he left him many acres of land in Culloden, Georgia. The African Ancestry paternal test results confirmed this oral history that has been passed down in the family. I was surprised because my slave last name is Irish and not Spanish but my Ancestry DNA results did show 1% Spanish.
If he sold three of his son's that he had with the woman he was said to have loved, then he did not actually love her. Do you think she loved him if he sold her children? Your oral history seems to have been romanticized to avoid the harsh reality
Same here bruh 👑. My paternal slave name is McKie
@@artisan_king460 Mine is Webb
@@michaelmichael8314 Not to sure if he loved her or not but he didn’t sell my ancestor. Also he may have sold them to prove that he wasn’t in love with a slave and to keep his plantations. He had an upper and lower plantation. He was one of the biggest slavers in the area. Who knows. He did leave my ancestor a lot of land and he was a free man during slavery in Georgia
