What is shows based on the results of other Jamaican DNA results is that the majority of slaves that was brought to Jamaica came from Nigeria. Also, it's nice to share with us the countries you came from, but your DNA matches is a significantly important information. If you are Jamaican but you have 3rd and 4th cousins in the Americas, that is a very important information. If you found an African match, that's a profoundly significant important information that should be shared with your viewers.
Hey so I just got my results we have similar results where did you see Jamaica ? On my heritage did you pull a tab down
I’m Jamaican and I had similar results. I’m 98% African ☺️
I submitted two different samples to My heritage and Ancestry. My heritage - Nigerian, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Somalia, West African, Italian, Scandinavian and Eastern/Native American =Inuit
Ancestry= Cameroon Congo Western Bantu, Mali, Nigerian, Senegal, Ghana, Togo, England, Indigenous Mexican.
I heard My heritage goes back farther in your DNA past than Ancestry.
Don't trust myheritage it's highly inaccurate
My heritage is not accurate for people without Jewish ancestry
@@kittywithachoppa I think it's only accurate for white people. You guys constantly are looking for some damned English ancestry. What about people who don't have English heritage.? I don't have many ties to the South. And if I do it's just Louisiana. So English people are not my main thing. So I feel like ancestry DNA and 23andMe focus way too much on English people they don't give a darn about North African people and they don't give really a percentage there. Gedmatch and myheritage have commented results for me when it comes to North Africa. So I trust them on that. Also Eastern Europe is important because I used to have Eastern Europe on ancestry DNA and then they took it away. So to me it's like the other places say I have Eastern European ancestry DNA said I had it and then took it away so then it seems like I probably have some Russian English and Scandinavian heritage. But my heritage only show Scandinavian and Russian. No English. My English doesn't seem so strong but I assume I might have some maybe one or two percent. So that's why I trust my heritage actually more why do people usually don't like my heritage. Because you guys love English heritage. But not everyone's English
Wasn't even accurate for me, they said my brother came back no English and nearly 70% northwest European and than me 40% English?? And I know for a fact we're full siblings@@divestedkonservativekarame4269
Cool results. Although I'm Black American, our results aren't that far off. I did both MyHeritage and Ancestry. MyHeritage: 78.7% African, 15.4% Irish, Scottish and Welsh, 4.9% Mesoamerican and Andean and 1% West Asian. Ancestry: 86% African (Nigerian, Cameroon, Mali, Ivory Coast and Ghana, Benin and Togo, Senegal and Southern Bantu Peoples), 12% European (English, Irish, Norwegian, Scottish and Greek and Albanian), 1% Indigenous Americas Mexico and 1% Indigenous Americas North.
Thanks for sharing your results, that's so interesting 😊
I don't see how 90% is anything similar to 78%? From my point of view 78%. You're in the 70s.
I did both and the ancestry one made me more african too. Like 12% more. That's crazy. The heritage had more native american than ancestry
Thanks for sharing your results. Here are my results from Ancestry, did in 2016, with several updates. Thanks to this test, I ve found a 2nd-3rd cousin and my niece did the Myheritage test and her results matched with another 3rd cousin who her grand-mother was my grandfather's big sister.
They are both from French Caribbean. My mother is half French Caribbean and married to a Vietnamese guy 🙂 I only have few matches with the asian side maybe because over there they use another kind of dna tests? Have one distant cousin in the US who has viet backgrounds and did the Ancestry Dna test too. Lucky to find all of them. Ironically, i ve learned a lot from the French Caribbean ancestries.
It helped a lot to find myself and who I am. I m just a mixed-race woman, who was born in France, has french as mother tongue and multiple background which make me smile every single day.
For people like me, it s precious and it doesn t matter the ones who judge me because I did a dna test. they are lucky to know and to see their loved ones and to know their family stories.
My parents were born in a country in war. I ve never met my grandparents at all.
I ll plan a trip in Guadeloupe, because i want to know my entire family. Then, my first trip to Vietnam. I don t want to promote dna test, but in my case it was a life saver and it made me realised than I am more than a steretotype.
Take care! 😊
Vietnam 61%
England Northwestern Europe 15%
Dai 8%
Southern China 7%
Benin&Togo 2%
Ireland 2%
Senegal 1%
Ivory Coast&Ghana 1%
Nigeria-East Central 1%
Cameroon, Congo&Western Bantu People 1%
Northern Italy 1%
I feel the same as you. I just got my results the day before yesterday and it has been a live changing experience. I have DNA from so many parts of the world. Even some countries in Europe and Africa from my 4th great grandparents that I did not expect because I unfortunately cannot go so far behind in my family story. I finally know who I am and feel so happy about it.
I had Kenya on my heritage aswell, but on Ancestry dna it didn't show. I have Jamaican Chinese heritage and my heritage didnt give me China at all but Filipino, Indonesian and Malay which is inaccurate 100%.
Whilst Ancestry dna has given me China, Korea and Vietnam and my communities are Afro Jamaican and South China.
My Heritage gave me too much Nigerian at 51% whilst Ancestry dna gave me 30% and broke the countries down. Ancestry dna always updates their database and has a much larger database. The more people take Ancestry the more it becomes accurate. My heritage gave me Finnish, whilst I got Norwegian in Ancestry dna. I get Central asian in my heritage but don't have that in my Ancestry dna, but I do have Asian background and my 1st cousin does have mongolian/Central Asian on her ancestry dna results whilst she don't have Korea which I do on my Ancestry results. Ancestry in my opinion is better and more accurate and found alot of family on there. They even have a timeline.
Nice video, interesting results. Scandinavian fits into the North Western Europe and Mesoamerican in basially Central American, including Mexican (Yukatan etc) and Caribbean indigenous peoples.
Thank you for watching, yes you're right the European regions do align.
Yes was going to comment about Mesoamerican too. Some folks from the Bahamas got that Link too. So it's seems a Caribbean thing. Way to go my sister. 🇧🇸🇯🇲
Keep in mind that these test can only measure how similar your DNA is to someone else's. There is no theoretical Italian DNA (for example) which people's DNA can be compared to in order to see if they are Italian. All the companies can do is measure how closely a tiny percentage (they ignore the vast majority) of your DNA resembles that of another customer. If the customer you match says he is Italian then the test will say you are Italian. If that other customer is wrong about being Italian then so will your test result. Of course they compile their data from large numbers of people rather than one guy but the principle is the same. This problem is known as "garbage in- garbage out".
LMAO 🤣 u don't know what you're talking about. It starts with WHITE PAPER TRAIL SIR and not what someone just claimed! You took a partial truth and then said whatever you "thought" she 5 other fools liked it 😢. White paper trail is GENEOLOGY my guy
A great vlog !!! Embrace all of your roots !!! We are all literally cousins.
All children of God !!!!
Mali and Senegal is actually pretty much West Africa on MyHeritage I believe.
Interesting, thank you
I love her facial features
Thank you sooo much - my and most other african american people's results re the mostly the same, mine is: 36% Nigeria, 12% cameroon, 12% mali, 11% england, 6% benin & togo, etc. - which is 73% african and 27% england, norway, etc. I just downloaded my ancestry dna results and uploaded them to my heritage for FREEEEE!!!
You're welcome, what were your My heritage results like? 🙂
@@Thepearlsandperils this is 46% Nigerian; 13.2 Sierra leonean; 8.2 West African, 3.2% maasai, 1.2% Kenyan - so basically 71.8 African; and the rest is Iberian, scandinavian, ashkenzai jewish baltic and central asian - which is 28% european
crazy - isn't.
I got my results as well. My Native American is not from North America at all like I have been told, it is South American ( Indigenous Amazonian ). My African is Nigerian, Kenyan, Sierra Leonan, Congolese, and North African ( Moroccan and Egyptian ).
How can one go about linking Ancestary DNA with myHeritage ?
I’m African American and I used myheritage. It came up: 50.1% Nigerian, 27.6% West African, 5.4% Kenyan, 3.3% Somali, 5.6% Scandinavian, 5.0% Baltic, 2.1% West Asian, and .9% Chinese and Vietnamese. I’m very curious about the East African connection.
Then you are also European American and Asian American.
Excellent job 👏 I took MyHeritage and the results were very interesting. 30% Nigerian, 28% Sierra Leon, 19% Kenyan, 1.5% Melanisian, 8% Sottish Welsh Irish, 2.0% Somalian, 1.9% North African, 1% Baltic, 6% West African.
I did this on my family channel it's pretty cool to find out other mixes that in our lineage great video
Yeah it's really interesting 😊
I believe 23andme is the most accurate of the companies, because it matches totally with my known researched ancestry, Myheritage hasn't had a update in many years, I think it misscaterize some ethnicities, it says my only European is Eastern European, both ancestrydna and 23andme gives me England and Ireland which I have traced ancestry from, it also misscaterizes my known Native American as Chinese and Vietnamese.
I like ancestry and feel it is more accurate because it has the largest database, but it is all about personal preference. Also ethnicity plays a role as some do a better job, especially for Asians.
Ancestrydna has a large database and more advertising on tv but that doesn't make it more accurate, when you're trying to find cousins it's better because they have more people in their database. I been on ancestrydna since 2013 my results have changed dramatically at least 9 times, yes people have preferences but I go by what my ancestry is from research and what I know about my ancestry, I been with 23andme since 2017 and with their updates my results have changed only twice and it been always very minor changes. 23andme has a lot more details breakdown of ethnicities, more categories, traits, chromosomes and how, where each cousin match are located on which chromosomes and they show your hapalogroup.
I like to add 23andme has a white paper for each ethnicity to show what's the accuracy rate for every ethnicity weather it's accuracy is 100% or less. I couldn't find a white paper for ancestrydna.
@@honeyjazz4147 ancestry has a white paper....there is usually a link. I am ancestry.ca s
I could be wrong, but I believe that Ancestry is more popular in the USA than any other brand, but in some other countries, My Heritage is more popular. So I guess the number of matches will be different according to where your ancestors were living.
it's possible that you have indigenous American from the Jamaican line most likely as it was common in that area
I just did mine as well.
44% Nigerian 🇳🇬1 genetic group
10% Kenyan
20% West African( 3 Cape Verde genetic groups)
15% Scandinavian 3 genetic groups
8% Iberian
1% Chinese
The difference between ancestry dna and 23andme for me was significant. On 23andme I am only 94.7% european (Portugal and Spain only), with another 3% Arabic, about 1.4% native american and 0.6 % Pakistan and 0.3% Sub-Saharan African. On ancestry dna I am 100% european which is broken down into 95% portugal and Spain (60% Portugal and 35% Spain), 3% France and 2% Basque. No native american and no African or Arab. Who the heck is right?
Yea.. Ancestry had me at 100% European but 23%me gave me 0.1% unidentified and about 1% Egyptian, Arabian, Levant and 0.3% western African ( Senegambia/Guinea) with Cabo Verde
I watched your video because I have been using Ancestry for years and had my DNA test done many years ago, but transferred the raw data over to My Heritage which it came up completely different, That confuses me. The Ancestry DNA results are updated periodically, but pretty much reflects what my research shows, whereas My Heritage ones just dont make much sense. I dont know what to think. Your video was well done. Thank You
I did Ancestry and My Heritage, they both showed I have Balkan dna, but My Heritage was 18% whereas Ancestry 1% :D That’s a big difference… I don’t know anyone from my family coming from that region so maybe Ancestry is more accurate..?
You have Ivory Coast & Gh on Ancesty and said it didnt come up on my heritage. It did, that is what they classed as "West Africa"
Myheritage is actually pretty good with European, indigenous, and middle eastern ethnicities but it's not very accurate with other ethnicities, atleast i don't think so, but atleast there getting better at it.
i like ancestry for all their documents and records for my family tree. doing a DNA search just wasn't enough for me.
Hi, saw your DNA results! just wanted to tell you that Africa was only recently divided up into countries, these are artificial boundaries. Some Africans still don't recognize these boundaries! This is why you see some ethnic groups in several countries! So yes you can be from several countries! But West Africa was one just over 200 years ago. Europeans came in and put these artificial boundaries in place at the Berlin Conference! Go to read and study the history of Africa and West Africa and Slavery! Same group of people were put on the various islands! So yes you are going to have the same DNA as someone in The Bahamas:)
You do look Nigerian. I would imagine due to the location of the Caribbean to South, Central and North America - there are going to be Caribbean people with Native American blood in them.
West Africans left Southern Ethiopia 25 thousand years ago and settled in West Africa. That's where that Kenya is coming from because East Africa was not part of the slave trade.. It could also be a result of the Bantu expansion when some West Africans left West Africa and colonized East, Central and Southern Africa. Kenya is about 70% Bantu.
I was wondering why I as a jamaican have 11 per cent Kenyan, it must be the bantu link. Thanks for the insight. I do really look kenyan/east african non bantu
There was no such thing as bàntu expansion from west Africa. Shumlaka studies debunked that. The dna samples found 3000 years ago in west Africa match Abatwa people not modern west Africans those who carry E1b1A y dna halopgroup such as ibo, Akan, Mande ,
Wolo
Wolof, Yoruba etc We migrated from East to West not the reverse. In fact our E y dna haplogroup possible developed outside of Africa , possible in South East Asia. The Kenya dna is luhya tribe who are genetically close to Yoruba og Nigeria.

WTF is shumlaka? Nobody has ever heard of it. The DNA has already corroborated the bantu expansion. The DNA scientist dated paternal haplogroup e1b1a to be 25,000 years in West Africa, but is only less than 5,000 years in Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. Most importantly,if the bantu expansion did not happen why are West Africans genetically identical to Bantus? According to linguistic study done on African languages, Bantu languages is a branch of Niger Congo languages which according to anthropologists originated from West Africa. Both studies has SCIENTIFICALLY corroborated the findings. Shumlaka or whatever he calls himself don't know what he's talking about. The paternal haplogroup of a Zulu is e1b1a subclade e-m2. The paternal haplogroup of West Africans is the same e1b1a subclade e-m2. Now you tell me, how the hell that happened. I can tell you; the only way for that to have happened is because both groups used to be IN THE SAME COMMUNITY and also used to speak THE EXACT SAME LANGUAGE.
At this point, I don’t think MyHeritageDNA is accurate. I’ve seen a lot of blk ppl from America & the West Indies get similar results as for as having Kenyan ancestry, which is odd because most enslaved Africans were taken from West & Central Africa
Hi, I'm frol the UK and I just got my results. Jamaican background too but what was interesting, I got the other European countries but English was 0😂😂, I guess there is no British at all although I was born here. Maybe due to my family not originally born here but came over later on.
What site would you say is the best out of the two ?
I got 0.8 % Kenyan at my heritage and 2.1% Sudan at 23andme and 1% Jewish an 2 %USA at my heritage which did not show up at dna ancestry.I’m fulani which is an ethnicity populated in many African countries
I'd choose AncestryDNA because it gives specific results. MyHeritage reported in your test West Africa and I think It is disrespectful toward the people of African descent, because West Africa includes 16 countries. AncestryDNA gave you a more specific vision of your origins. This is my impression, maybe I'm wrong because I've never used MyHeritage.
Nothing to do with the video but you're so gorgeous 😍 lol k bye
Aww thank you 😊
How come the two companies give you way different results from each other. I’m more mixed at myheritage and dna ancestry my country of origin is not even included 🤔
What additional genetic groups they gave you ?
Hi I had my results and both had my two genetic groups the same. Both stated south asian and central asian ancestry. However my heritage stated 11.4% Scottish, Irish and welsh. My ancestry did not. Both state they are accurate. When I think about my great grandfather had blue eyes and fair almost white skin. My other grandfather had ginger hair so their could be some truth in this, but i am starting to wonder wether my heritage has made a mistake. I don’t think il know the answer until I do some research into my family tree
Congratulations on the 91% sis
Not many black people outside African close to pure blood.
That is not pure.
I have recently seen brothers and sisters from the Caribbean have 100% African dna, I've seen like 10 or more on RUclips 😊
Yes there are many black people outside of Africa that are pure blood.
Because their parents are Africans.
I’m Jamaican and I got 98% African dna with the 2% left being from Portugal and Norway.
yep and even Africa is very mixed. South African Cape Coloured peoples and Cape Verde in West Africa . Many people in Cape Verde are over 40% European and rest African. Heck and also in North East Africa with the Eurasian DNA.
My anceatrydna are more black than you im around 92% SSA and im black americab btw but I dont have a chunk of european heritage all of mine are 1 percent only one is like 3%? Maybe 5 still a trace though
You need to research which company is best for testing African ancestry they are not the same!!
Mesoamerican and Andean I have got 22% in my DNA test
Meso America for My heritage is parts Native American, with Souther European,,(Southern Spain, Southern Italy,Greece) so they lump it together
i got the same results as u except for portugal im going to try my heritage i dont think i really like ancestry much
Hi, There is possibility we are realated? I have Nigeria, sierra leone, Kenya
Same here and I'm jamaican too.
Were you able to link your ancestrydna results to myancestry ?
My results as in the ethnicities or my Dna matches? There were similarities ethnicity wise as my Nigerian percentage on both were very similar. Also similar regions were ranked for my European heritage
MesoAmerican is Native people from Jamaica in your case
You are welcome home (Nigeria )before you go to bed, listen to the Nigeria 🇳🇬 songs. Omah lay, damn ,you,,woman, lolo,Godly. Patoranking Abule ,yo body, different and burna boy sungba, and many more
Many Afro-Jamaicans are Igbo and Ashanti...
Also look at your bone structure ..body shape. Face shape..as you are of African decent. You can see in your body and face to be country people in you physically. You see mixes are what creates beauty. And. We are all like a flower garden .many beautiful mixes in us. You have a beautiful smile. Wish my smile and teeth were as straight and lovely as yours. I am 84% French so I have annoying narrow French face and crooked teeth.
Depends because I have a African bone structure and near 70 % European about 2 % Native and 28% West African
Meso America has the Giant Olmec heads and Pyramids 1st in Americas not as slaves.
Are you a Jamaican who lives in USA?
No I live in the UK 😊

I feel like my heritage is more accurate for me because it's not change ancestry DNA I did it back one in 2015 and he's changed like at least 4 or 5 times
Did not follow you, so initially YOU SOUND, Language, MIX plus BRITISH PLUS.
So was a bit confused at first. Had to do some Research from your POST.
Noticed you live in the UK.
Language accent, sounds BRIT. AND a mix of AFRICAN CONTINENT ACCENT!
I read somewhere that the Spaniards would send the indigenous trouble makers to the islands for punishment.
Sky but the Native Americans/indigenous Americans were in the west indies/Caribbean before the Spaniard.
You said "I read somewhere that the Spaniards would send the indigenous trouble makers to the islands for punishment."
That means that they mixed up tribes but they are still the same race
thou.
@@maryjs4878 yes there were natives on the islands before Christopher Columbus. But I just want to say that the Spaniards did send indigenous from the Latin countries. Because they were rebels.
@@1908oceanworld so you're saying that the Spanish mixed up Native American/indigenous Americans with other Native American/indigenous Americans.
I feel terrible knowing that my DNA is from Mali. Yes, my ancestors were kings. The slaves from my ancestors were like today's millionaires partly, due to the enormous wealth of the king of kings as Mansa Musa referred to himself. However, reading about the history of my people has made me very sad. I learned that Mali was once the planet's strongest, smartest, and richest civilization.
Jamaica? But Jamaicans are a culture 😂 I was born there with Asian N and S where grandparents came from, European and African suh mi nuh know what Jamaica haffi do wid anyting. What's in the West came from the east. If I have a DNA test done and I see Jamaican with any % I will calling up their office to educate them.
sierra leone ghana ivory coast benin togo c it as the same groups was and ,cameroon congo also mali senegal gambia same group
Mesoamerican are awarak
Did My Heritage give you genetic groups?
It does , it’ll be under the ethnicity estimates and sometimes it’ll be on the bottom of the results
@@Myaa.G I already know it does. I'm asking her can she, or would she like to reveal hers. Actually, she did. It's under Nigeria: 1) Jamaica and 2) Jamaica and UK: 6:05. What she did not reveal was her "Additional Genetic Group" at the bottom. In short, there is a 3rd genetic group at the bottom.
@@doubleutee8867 sorry, I misread your question the first time I thought you was asking if Myheritage give people genetic communities
I wanted to see if Ancestry's "Genetic Communities" correlates with My Heritage's "Genetic Groups". Both companies found her Jamaica background, and what that tells me is that both are good at uncovering the ethnic heritage of their clients. Your apology is accepted. Enjoy your evening.
So half Nigerian
I'm white..if I was born in Jamaica I would not be Jamaican. Place is not ancestry. It's DNA not land
you're ine of the many that can't seem to differentiate between nationality and ethnicity. Coutries are just political territories, drawn up in the past. There is no such thing as Jamaican DNA. Also, if you really want to go there, 'Jamaica' was a creation of the white British, so yes, you can be white and Jamaican. There are white families that have been there since the beginning and most black people there have British Surnames. There are mare many different DNA groups that were in these countries when the countries were first established.
You appear West African, and the European comes from the men who conquered Africa and Africans. -USA
Fuck... Ancestry DNA 🤬
