    My main region was 21% Cameroon/Congo on Ancestry, MyHeritage gave me Nigeria as my region though so you probably are majority Congolese. Your results are beautiful! You can transfer your results to Gedmatch, it names the African tribes you came from. I agree that Africans were the first people in the world! I'm 30% and I didn't even know I was part African lol! Everyone in my family has the same shaped brown eyes which can seem Native American or Asian but I think it's definitely an African trait, same with high cheekbones!

      They are both still claiming to be 100% Congolese from the Munyanga tribe 😭 But it’s very common for African people to straight up lie about where they are from.
      If Ancestry DNA comes up with a high percentage of Nigerian again. I suspect my ancestors fled to Congo during the colonisation/slavery period and lied about their identity to blend in.
      Lool Not the lust for Youbra men 💀

      Got my results 2 days ago and I was heartbroken and still a little bit (smh).
      I’m a Saint Lucian (Caribbean side) and I thought I’d be Congo because Haitians, Dominicans and Saint Lucians are closely related (last names and creole language).
      As well we have the odd words which are derived from the kikongo and tsiluba languages (pardon my incorrect spelling on the languages). Finally I’ve seen our slave documents and although we have about (1500 ish Igbo slaves, 500 ish from more Western Africa, we still had about 800 + slaves arriving from Angola and Congo/central Bantu).
      Last but not least my last name is Lubin or Luben and I see many names similar to Lubin in Kinshasa, other parts of Congo, Zambia and other central-south Africa region.
      In the end instead of your 46% Nigeria and 5.7 % Central Africa I got 69.9 % Nigeria and 3.2 % Congo 🥺.
      And European migration obviously around 11%. That said i enjoyed u and ur bro sharing this information. It’s a great thing to people.

    • @TheShannonShow
      @TheShannonShow  Před 2 lety

      Thank you for sharing. I had similar feelings when I first saw the results. I was also surprised we didn’t have any relative matches in the Caribbean or South America because that’s where most people captured in Congo were sent to.
      The relatives we matched with were almost exclusively African American which points to my ancestors evading or escaping capture and settling in Congo but claiming to be natives to blend in.
      Ngl I’m hoping this Ancestry Dna test I sent off comes back a lot more Central African DNA 😭 but if it doesn’t it is what it is. Congo will always be close to my heart. I think I will definitely explore Nigerian and Kenyan history culture if my test comes back the same.
      I’m glad you appreciated our video and hope you feel better in time. 😄
