Can you take a guess what my results will be??!! 🧐 Also, don’t forget to link me to any Fante language apps or website. Thank you again for your ongoing support. Enjoy 😉
I specifically watched this video because I have heard that people from Guyana have a lot of Ghanaian/Akan ancestry and your results did not disappoint because you literally have the highest Ivory coast/Ghana percentage I have ever seen for someone who doesn't have recent Ghanaian ancestry!
Yeah I’m kinda shocked myself but! The history of where our African Guyanese slaves come from also makes sense. Please share the video🙏🏾 and thanks for watching and sharing your insight
Hello, good results, friend. I'm from Argentina 🇦🇷⚽️, South America. I also took the DNA test. It came out for me. 💯 south american 🌎 I am proud of my origins😊👋
Ghana and Ivory Coast are literally the same country as the large group in Ghana and Ivory Coast are the Akans people. Before all the caving of Africa, there were no borders even during the slave era. NIGERIA, GHANA TOGO, BENIN, AND IVORY COAST ARE one big heavy rich areas hence British, Dutch , Portuguese , French and the Scandinavian countries were there for the slaves and minerals like Gold, ivory. So you come from a very rich part of the African continent.
You don't have to 'fit-in', you are who you are. I was born and raised in the UK - parents are from the Caribbean and though I was raised from the age of 6 in a 98 percent white area I never had issues with identity.
Thanks for sharing. My issue wasnt about fitting in and it wasn’t directed towards whites. I had unwelcoming issues from blacks as well. I dont have a problem with this anymore, it’s something i thought to share, the reasoning to why i was doing the test is just as important. Just to add not because you never had the experience i may have, let’s learn to respect people’s experience for what they are. You saying you never had that experience almost appears dismissive of mine the way you phrased it. I’m not sure if it was intentional but I’m just letting you know how it came across. I’m happy you never had to go through that but others do unfortunately
Guyanese and Jamaicans don’t even come close to accents. She said her accent was influenced from her upbringing in Antigua. Definitely no yardie accents there😅
Wow 35% Ghanaian can’t say i am too surprised. But I did guess a high percentage of Nigeria and Ghana. Well hello my Ghana sista 😆. I really enjoyed this ❤️
You actually look very Ghanaian. Your results a quite unique because most people get a higher Nigeria, Cameroon/congo western bantu peoples combination than Ghana/Ivory Coast. I am Fante as well and I did the test recently. Results 73- Ivory Coast Ghana, 24 Benin togo 1- Norway, 1- Portugal, 1- Eastern Europe/Russia. I will try and see if there are any Fante applications I can recommend or RUclips channels. And I have subscribed to your channel. Me kyia me nua Fantse nyi- Regards to my fante brother. Bye
Thank you so much for sharing your results with me 'me nua nyi'. My husband actually took his DNA as well but he got more Benin/Togo than Ghana. I am looking forward to you sharing resources with me to learn more! Many thanks :)
I really related to your struggle. It's almost as if we both had to overcome the same things. I have been doing a family tree since I was 16 and I still don't know my family tree
Finding our ancestors is difficult because of our beginnings in the countries outside of Africa, I’m an AA an I bet I can trace that 40% of British and Irish, but I’m not interested, really was to know the tribe of my African ancestor that was on that slave ship. That was my beginning and why I live in this place called America.
Why people from the islands can’t see they are the same as the AA’s, with the exception AA are a mixture of British and Irish. It will take an act of god for us to trace our ancestors because of our beginnings in these countries outside of Africa. What I’m finding also people from the island’s have a much higher percentage of African DNA than most AA. HOPING YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND A GREAT LIFE
Thanks for your input. And these test are in place so we have an understanding. Even tho Caribbeans or African Americans may have similarities in results, the results aren’t individualized. Also I’m Guyanese, my results could have been different. Just sharing MY OWN insight.
@@ALL-EMBRACING thanks for the reply, I have 40% British with two black parents and always told about my African 3x grandfather, because of the history of the US. I can only embrace what I know and was told not chase that 40% of me. I’m in my sixties. Thanks
Everyone’s breakdown is different and I think with DNA testing most of us in the diaspora are accepting that we are not simply African but mixed. Nothing that we can do about it but understand it and accept it.
You started by saying they are the same but ended with saying they’re not. You just wanted to say something.. anything. Typical AA always looking for problems.
I recommend you do one with Dr. Paige , ancestral DNA, since her company one is more legit with more than 33,000 DNA samples and the company really pin point the actual tribe u are from. Much luv from the motherland 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Not sure what you mean.. I can look at that comment from many different angles. I’ll leave the reply as.. I am very happy and grateful to be black. I embrace everything and anything that makes me who I AM and god created me to be 😊
Thanks for sharing. That is so cool your husband is Ghanaian. You have African features, but I am unable to distinguish what countries. Do you know that Vanessa Williams, although she is very mixed African American, her most prominent ancestry is Ghanaian?
You sound like my son "you all can't talk to me I'm scottish" he actually said that when we found out that some of our great great grands were from Scotland.
African Americans must now know that we Africans have known this for a very long time. We could roughly know their origin from their physique. It is so obvious for us to make the difference between you, thanks to the difference between us, Africans. We didn't want to tell you but we pretty much knew who's who among black Americans. A Senegalese is physically different from a Cameroonian. A Gabonese does not look like a Ghanaian. Etc..
@willstar3537 my father is from Trinidad and Tobago and is of African Ancestry. My mother is a White American. My father has roots in St.Kitts and Nevis and Martinique as well. I notice a lot of people in Trinidad and other parts of Caribbean even including my mixed race self to a degree, have this very particular body shape and neck shape it's kind of hard to explain but the neck kind of extends forward a bit. My father has dark coppery brown extremities and the rest is dark beige. Dark copper face and bald top of head. Cottony coiled afro hair. Very wrinkled knobby hands with peculiar dark tinted nails. I get the feeling that our genetic background from the slave trade period is quite complicated and involving people from remote areas of Africa intermingling with fully genetic Europeans (like many people) but I am really curious about the type/s of African genetics we have running through our veins.
Slavery had done a great damage to Africans, even after 400 years , children are still struggling to deal with the pains and damage inflicted by then evil trade . You have to be touched by slavery to understand it’s implications on the mind and body every day. Wonderful and inspiring video. 🙏
Thank you. Definitely, lots of damages done and left behind. Some experiences are hard to explain and endure. I feel like we are even misunderstood by our own sometimes. We need to educate so we are less divided
@@ALL-EMBRACING Those who have no history of slavery just think descendants of slavery should just move on from it, the truth is that the economic developments achieved in America,Britain, Portugal and Spain in particular was through the sweat and tears of African slaves . Let truth be said .
@@ALL-EMBRACING I wanted to do another one as well, but my fiance influenced me enough to have discouraged it, I figure for privacy and other reasons, so so far I've held off. However, I know a comparison result would be interesting, and could only further the accuracy. Thanks again for sharing your results.
Was sure South Asian (India) would show up on your D.N.A. results because your external look is off African & Indian, & because Guyana has a high demographic Indian population...Not surprised at the high African & British genetics...
So in the video I mentioned my previous result. So it’s a compared result. Past with present. The more data they receive the more likely there will be a change in the results.
@@ALL-EMBRACING dna ancestry & 23andme so weird sometimes but basically you get a community base off your matches I would love to see a update video of your Caribbean migration once you get your community we don’t really see to many Guyana African results 🔥🔥
@@rebecavillanova7622 There are different ethnic groups in Guyana due to slavery Or indentured labours. There are indian guyanese or mixed ethnic groups of people. Majority of ethnic group in guyana are Indians and Blacks. They don’t always get along but hopefully sooner rather than later we can all be on the same page being from one country.
guyana is in south america not the Caribbean . Guyana was just colonized the same way as the other caribbean islands were colonized that is why you and Suriname are apart and act caribbean.
