Ancestry Test?

[Samori Toure]

Could I not have Caribbean and AA showing up from people of my tribe/ethnic group who were sold to the Americas? Like I said I`m some what confused as to are these test about groups that share DNA thus they are saying you are most similar to them or is it actually looking at your DNA and showing may have dna from these people and the number ranking = How many Generations back the Ancestor with that DNA is?

If you have African American and African Caribbean genetic markers; then it is likely that you had ancestors that were African American and/or African Caribbean. I don't know how, but it may be that you are descended from people that were repatriated back to Liberia. You might even have a White American or a White Caribbean in your family. I don't know, but you should probably build a family tree to locate your answer.

I don't have any White/European Ancestry. With the AA or AC thing, I`m not sure how that would work due to the Political Aspect of Americo Liberians self segregating from Indigenous groups from an Elitism perspective, unless you are referring to people who came back Prior to the Group that is known for the Establishment of Modern Liberia. Who knows though. I take the GedMatch stuff with a grain of salt since it's impossible to test all groups of people in Western Africa.
For example these are my EthioHelix results which is a test best for 100% African people.
Population
Nilo-Saharan 5.04
East-Africa2 0.80
Mbuti-Pygmy 2.83
East_Africa1 3.06
Khoi-San 1.76
West_Africa 80.03
Hadza -
Biaka-Pygmy 4.34
North-Africa -
Omotic 2.13

From a history standpoint of my tribe our Migration was from East/Central Africa to Mali and then into Present Day Liberia. The Pygmy #s make sense as they were the earliest inhabitants of Liberia, but even then I`m not sure of what these test are exactly trying to present. Per Ancestry.com :
REGIONAPPROXIMATE AMOUNT
Africa100%

• Ivory Coast/Ghana81%
• Mali17%
• Trace Regions2%
• Africa South-Central Hunter-Gatherers< 1%
• Africa Southeastern Bantu< 1%

These Results I find to be most Accurate, as it aligns with what happens with Migration, but of course this is not broken down at the Tribal level.

Did you Gedmatch your HarappaWorld results?

Those Mande (Mandenka, Bambaran); Dogon and Brong scores tie in solidly to the Ivory Coast/Ghana and Mali scores.
