Yeah it's all a little confusing. I just went with the cheapest option for now. If I still have more questions then I'll explore the others. Akan/Igbo gave a solid recommendation so I'll roll with that.

thought about this.
Where u get that test?
Ancestry.com.
In another post in this thread one of the posters mentioned that Ancestry is running a special for $79.00. So it looks like the testing is getting cheaper.

That was only for the holiday weekend. I believe the tests are back to normal price.
Just got my results back
My Parents are from the Island of Dominica. On my mother's side is where I'm guessing the 1% European (Greece/Italy) seeing that I carry an Italian Surname but my pops told me his pops was Mulatto? My family has been in Dominica, at least since the 1700s, with Scottish ancestry in Trinidad, Jamaica and Dominica(Father's linage).
Benin and Togo?
Mali?
Africa Southeastern Bantu

Here is a little more information on your African results.
African Results
You should upload your results on to this Ancestry.com forum, because they are keeping a spreadsheet showing where Africans in the Western Hemisphere are originally from. The website is from:
ancestryforums@ancestry.com
Finally, don't forget to upload your results into Gedmatch to get your specific ethnic groups. I am going to guess that you are have a lot Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, Fon and Akan ethnicity. Good stuff.

not sure if you meant to write a post?
I actually posted it. I lost the websites that I was trying to provide you with, but I found them and put them in the post.
I think that the science is absolutely real; after all they locking people up every day and taking ends from baby daddy's all over the country by using this stuff. In an a a very unscientific way I realized the science was legit when I did the Gedmatch of the Ancestry results. Gedmatch kept pointing to me being partially Bamoun (also know as Bamum) people, who are an Islamic people in Cameroon; that are related to the Tikar people. While doing some research on the Bamoun people I came across a picture of this lady:
Her name is MomaMfon Rabiatou NJOYA and she is Bamoun. I did a double take when I saw this picture, because this lady's profile is a spot on match for my deceased maternal grandmother. She also looks very similar to my older sister. Not scientific at all, but I think the science is right.
I made one mistake about this lady's title. She is actually a princess of the people of Bamoun. Her brother is the King.

I sent my test off a few days ago. Just waiting on the results now. Can't wait to see what comes up.
What website did you take your ancestry thing on?
i did mine on ancestry.com
found out im mostly european which i always suspected (i dont tan well and cant jump very high. i also enjoy friends and seinfeld). but i wasnt expecting the 10% indigenous(native american) or the 13% italian/greek, 10% british or the exact breakdown of my african ancestry. its cool to know but once i found out i really didnt have any more use for it lol. i dont regret spending the money tho.
