We did not tell them anything even though we know some certain things. Her results came back 100 percent Nigerian. She is actually from Biafra in Nigeria. Her family historically was a lost tribe of Israel. Until the war they only celebrated the Jewish holidays and traditions. After the war ended in the late 1960s the Christian missionaries arrived and converted them all to Christianity. Her family were the local kings so ancient stories told that they once lived in Ethiopia. We cannot confirm that yet other than oral history. I’ve seen some L3e3b from Sierra Leone but that was an open city and slaves would be brought there from their homes in other places for those purposes. 23 and me does a very poor job of identifying Jewish ancestry from Africa.

So such tests are of utmost interest to me. After my FtDNA test turned out to only be maternal because I was new and ordered the wrong one, I tried Ancestry. That one came back in about a week with a huge general estimate and an almost just as huge "uncertainty." It felt sloppy and false. So I returned to FtDNA for an ethnicity test. Like the first time, after weeks of waiting, they told me that they messed up and had to re-request another sample. Second time. I am still waiting for that test. But I do like their percentage breakdowns. However, your results on 23andMe are so comprehensive. They seem to really have an interest in making results easy to understand, which the others I have tried do not. FtDNA's results are like a chart of data. I've spent hours online trying to figure out what your results detail upfront like the Halogroup meaning. Although at this point I have spent far too much on tests, I am going to try 23AndMe because of you...and their cool TV ad.

I'm seeing results in the new ancestry composition for people from Cape Verde They have no Native American/ East Asian<br /><br /> I think the best thing to do is to have the parent with the suspected ancestry tested and if they plot the same with those segments it is probably real. Even if less than one percent. If you share the same segment(s) as your parents is a good sign those regions are what they say they are regardless of what ancestry it is.<br /><br /> If you are the same person*Reggie* that I think, you are you been slamming African Americans on Facebook and Yahoo regarding this entire topic. Saying their percentages are fake.

Even with the current discount of $50 the other test seems quite expensive for one small percentage of data result. With our slave history in brazil I'm sure there will be a big percentage of European in my result but I don't know if any test nowadays can pinpoint the exact region I could possibly come from, these seem like expensive estimations only.Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01063347342015358950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454603795410144652.post-30459038648484651452013-06-01T07:46:21.825-07:002013-06-01T07:46:21.825-07:00For the money, 23 and me, to me seems to be the be...For the money, 23 and me, to me seems to be the best value. With one test it provides an autosomal test (ancestry composition) as well as haplogroup information. In addition, there is all the health information, they provide you with. The are not able to give you a specific country of origin for African Ancestry. They will just tell you a percentage. They are able to break down European ancestry a bit further. If you are looking for a more specific ancestral breakdown and you have African Ancestry, you would need to look into testing with possibly African Ancestry or FamilyTreeDNA.

My heart and mind are open either way the results may go. There is something to be said about oral history in families. Some of it may not be accurate but often there are nuggets of truth that can be determined from the information passed down.
