So far I have found no ancestors of Eastern European or Balkan states decent. But I am still researching. I do believe that I could possibly have a Moorish ancestor or 2 that fled Spain after the fall. It would explain the Iberian, Mediterranean and Northeast African that shows up. Every WP I have found all came from prominent British families.

You only have 5 percent Southern Europe/Mediterranean which could easily have come from Western European immigrants....same with the Eastern Euro ancestry :mjlol:

And plenty of tribes in West Africa who have Northeast ancestry and were not Moorish :francis:

But hey continue to believe you're an Israelite :hubie:

Not that shocking.
Every genetic study I've seen on AAs says our genetic clusters are too diverse and admixed to create any coherent picture of a "community". I also doubt Ancestry has many AA samples to test against tbh.

I have a strong connection to SC AAs in my results but they got Gullah/Geechie communities there so that isnt surprising.

All my matches that are closer than distant cousins are pretty much all from/have roots in Coastal GA and SC, so im sure we probably share an Ancestral aunt or uncle.

Do you not understand the term possibly? :mjlol: I have Amerindian DNA regardless cac. I'm connected to the Americas anyway you slice it. Deal with it. :funny:

I just wonder how many Black folks have taken this test to cross match. Would need a whole lot.

Pearl being 25-30 cac yet having less neanderthal DNA than 99 percent of the people in their database tells me it isnt a whole lot of us taking these test to compare.

The 2 results you are comparing come from 2 separate websites and databases.

How do you explain how dude has more of a connection to AAs than an actual AA? :funny:

These test are more catered to white people. I did a Nat Geo test that had over 1 mill participants and Less than 1% of the people were in my Maternal and Paternal Haplogroups.

These test dont really help people in the Diaspora because they arent going to Africa to test a ton of Natives to truly get accurate results. I took these tests for shyts and giggles since I know where my parents from and know a decent amount about the migrations of our tribe.

They end up lumping most people in general areas, where could be where their ancestors migrated too but arent native from.

Like my results are Ivory Chost/Ghana & Mali, now being that I know how my tribe migrated I know why my results display like that, but for someone trying to understand their African connection, I think it may be kind of confusing.

1. Not many of us have taken the test
2. He got matched with the Gullah people who are pretty much pure African and he is Liberian. Gullah people are dissimilar from the average AA.

Yeah, they can give you the basic breakdown of how much african, cac and asian blood you have but can't really specify region and tribe in Africa due to the reasons you stated. Diasporan Blacks are too diverse and admixed to really find "DNA signatures" for each diasporic group.

Yeah. If I understand history correctly, also when it comes to AAs, Africans were not being imported in as large numbers and as consistent as they were in Latin America and the Caribbean, so AAs tend to be waaaay more admixed just when it comes to African Ancestry, than those from Latin America and the Caribbean.

I think that the diverse make up of AAs had a lot to do with the innovation they did because you had pretty much so many different cultures coming together in a new environment where they were forced to innovate, and the products of their creativity and innovation speaks for itself.

That still doesn't explain why he has a stronger connection to AA than I do. By your logic he's connected via "pure" Africans and the test would be connecting Africa DNA. If I have 70% African DNA then why is my connection weak. Both sides of my family have DEEP roots in the south. I have pictures of many of my ancestors who are very dark skinned people. So why is it showing a weak connection to African DNA?

It doesn't make any since that he has a stronger connection to my community than I do. Would he not be connecting to his own people?
