Ancestry.com which was mostly U.S. census reports. I confirmed what I found with my family and went from there.
I was surprised how much info is actually out there .

U got scammed my friend. Go to the Library of Congress look into the archives and you will see

You might want to look into the mirror here
...your DNA clears you and only you. You can't find your homeland from hundreds of years ago to connect you to some people off no spit.
Im not paying for what was stolen from me. Makes no fcking sense to me..

I don't think you understand what DNA is or how it works.
The same DNA that can clear a person of a crime is the same DNA that can prove maternity and paternity in the case of a child. If you can use DNA to prove maternity or paternity then that means you can use DNA to prove that someone is related to that child, i.e. a cousin, grandparent or great-grandparent of a child. That is how they are able to say with certainty that somebody is your cousin, because you have common grandparents or great grandparents, etc.
They can even run familial DNA through criminal databases to catch your crooked ass relatives. That is how they caught the Golden Gate killer you dope. Somebody he was related to took a 23andMe or AncestryDNA test and then uploaded their results to GedMatch. The Police took the GedMatch results and tracked him down.

How can u get scammed from a census ?
On top of that it was free
Plus what i found out before I even knew names of people I confirmed from people in my family
My grandad uncles and aunts were of a census when they were kids .
I asked him about it he was surprised I brought those names up
So i dont know about scams only how it worked out for me.
Now iv never did the DNA I don't know bout that

David Balding, Professor of Statistical Genetics, UCL Genetics Institute: "Be wary of news items about genetic history - that someone famous is related to the Queen of Sheba or a Roman soldier. Often these come from PR material provided by genetic testing companies and can be trivial, exaggerated or just plain wrong. Genetic relatedness isn't very meaningful beyond a handful of generations away, because the amount of DNA you share with a very distant relative is negligible compared with the huge amount of DNA we all share from our common ancestors."

It's a algorithm from a pool of results nothing more.

Not one bit of any of that disputes the credibility of DNA. But we live in an anti-science flat earth society so help yourself.
i know all my history, where we are from even what village. my father is a lagosian. my second name only has 50 000 or so people sharing it around the world. so i know my shyts. good looking out to those who trying to find out more.
You should still test anyway. Many Nigerians are pleasantly surprised when they get their results back. Many have said, just like you, that they know their history going as far back as 500 years or something and yet surprises always show up.
You have to understand that you have 256 6th Great Grand Parents, 512 7th Great Grandparents, and 1024 8th Great Grand Parents, and it continues to double after that. It’s impossible that people have been able to account for each one. You could have 1 out of the 1024 8th great grandparents that was originally from Ghana Kingdom that was sold south after a war with Mali, somehow made it over to Dahomey, gained his freedom, became a trader, traded goods with neighboring Oyo, took a Yoruba wife, had a daughter, then she marries a Yoruba man, all the way down to you.
You won’t know that until you test. Also, it helps improve the results for Africans around the diaspora as our results fluctuate because of the small numbers of continentals that are testing.
Let’s say I descend from a Yoruba man. If actual Yorubas in Nigeria don’t test, then my results may come up as being from Benin, because the Dahomeys are close in relation to the Yorubas and so the Dahomey/Fon population in Benin would be the closest population my Yoruba DNA matches to due to the small number of Yorubas that actually test. The more continentals that test, the better the Diasporas results will be.
It did and the very reason you don't have a rebuttal in this.
Save your condescending talk for those who don't know shyt. No one in here talking bout flat earth but you sure are dumb enough to believe your ancestors are from a location because of a algorithm match in a pool.
Bye...

I didn't have a rebuttal, because you are spitting that anti-science dumb shyt. Meanwhile if you get a papercut you are the first one running up into a hospital.
Btw, this thread is about African Ancestry, not your anti-science rhetoric.
1. Anti-Science ...where? I have given science links with evidence proven that the shyt is a scam.
2. African Ancestry is a different kind of science now?
