A Breakdown of my Cameroonian, Congo, and Western Bantu Ancestry | AncestryDNA 

🙏🏿🙏🏿✊🏿✊🏿❤️🖤💚

Unbuntu fam.

Cameroon also dominates my DNA results.

@@ceeceetracey9839 waouuu goooood. Welcome ❤❤

@@ArliMelda ❤

That’s a significant amount of African DNA! Wow! 🤩 Thanks for sharing.

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka you're welcome. I knew I was part black due to my Puerto Rican side even though my skin is not black but I knew it. Also because 7% Taino, which are basically Indigenous Puerto Rican that originated in Africa and no wonder I love learning combat sports so much because since I'm 2% Senegalese, I found out that Senegal's national sport is wrestling, which I heard that it's more famous than soccer in Senegal and few of my martial arts classmates pointed out that I have that blood

@@bryanreyes7382 that’s so cool. I had no idea. I guess that’s why the people in my family like to fight as well. 😁That’s the blood from Senegal ha ha ha. It’s so neat to find out what people are made of. And yes, Puerto Ricans have a significant amount of African DNA.

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka yes that is true. I'm proud of my African heritage

@@bryanreyes7382 ✊🏿

I do have Kongo so that makes sense. I have been told that I look like the Bahia women in Brazil.

Not only bakongo. Other tribes in what is called drcongo now had many of their people taken and sent to Kongo kingdom to be sold to Portuguese. Kuba and luba people

@@africaine4889 Not true and has been proven time and time again. Luba and Kuba people were not sent to Kongo kingdom to be sold. They were sold to Arabs in Indian ocean slave trade. Any small slavery that happened to Kuba and Luba people had nothing to do with Kongo and it is related to the Chokwe in Angola who enslaved them. Nothing to do with BaKongo. Again, majority of South Carolinas and Louisiana are overwhelmingly BaKongo. It has been proven time and time again and even the African Americans say it themselves. Until today even their dna links to BaKongo and there are many BaKongo culture in these 2 regions of America specifically. Peace ✌🏿

@@africaine4889 Also fascinating. Very interesting. I need to look into that as well.

That’s weird because my grandmother is from Virginia and my dads family is from New York and I have western Bantu Niger Congo dna

👂🏿 open 👀 open 🧠 open Thank you for the information sis ✊🏿 very good to know the history of our people.

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka It’s crucial to know the history. Muntu means mankind( black mankind) Bantu all of black man and woman. Bantu= Hebrews. Gods people. A set apart people. Be proud of being a Bantu.

Very good information! 🙏🏿

Ohh I’m picking up what ur putting down yooo I’m 61 percent !

I’m western Bantu aswell

Lovely results! I have several matches from the Louisiana area! 🌟

my buddy is from Louisiana and my father's family is from SC. I told her her family's dialect and accent sounds almost identical to my family in SC.

yours sounds like mine, if you flip Nigeria and Mali

Awesome results! Thank you for sharing. Yes, African people are great! Thanks for watching and thanks for your kind words. ✨

Nice results! You are most welcome! 🙏🏿

That’s great to know! I will keep that in mind as I do my research. I appreciate it! 🌟

Nice! Very similar to my results.

🎉🥳🎉 Awesome results! Welcome home cousin! ✊🏿

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka I appreciate that so much 🥂

That's a good question. Try to learn more through your family matches. Do some census research.

@William do you know if they were ever enslaved and brought to south America?

@William interesting ty very much for the info.

​@William I never seen a bantu that looks Hispanic, where?

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka The North African would most likely reflect connections to an Iberian ancestor.

Nice! I also took all three of the tests mentioned. I like that 23andMe gave you specific people groups too! 🌟

That’s awesome! Still so much to learn about them. 🙏🏿

Hey! Welcome cuz! 🤭🌟 Great results!

Cool results! YW! 🌟

I'm 18% myself😊

Hello there! Wonderful results! 🙌🏿

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka Yes, indeed!

Nice results! Yes, we have some similar areas listed. I have quite a few matches from LA.

im from southwest louisiana

I haven't did one but that was close to my dad's test. All the way down to Benin and Toga.

I was born in Florida but parents born in Haiti and me and you got the same list 😂😂 and yes I'm haitian creole

Mine are pretty much the same as yours. I bet we’re not distantly related.

Hi fam! ✊🏿 Thanks so much for watching my video. I appreciate the clarification. I had no idea what the terms actually meant.

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka You're welcome! By the way, let you know Bantu people are also found in south Africa. I think it is the most largest ethic group in Africa. We are said to be HEBREWS and coming from MISRAYIM (Egypt)

@@paceposhman6837 Both make sense because I have traces of South African and North African DNA. 🙏🏿

Andu means people,mundu person in the akamba tribe of 🇰🇪 kenya

@@paceposhman6837 we're not Hebrews. Are you so ashamed of our lineage to the point of ursuping another man identity because you see their culture better than ours?

This is awesome information! I actually learned something new. I always wondered what influenced the Gullah people.

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka yes and in the 1700s a group of Gullah people , escaped slavery with the help of the British , half went to Nova Scotia and the other half was dropped off in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱, they renamed themselves the krio tribe and the krio language is a mix of Gullah + Jamaican patois and Nigerian creole. (They arrived years later in the 1800s) this is why ppl of the current day krio tribe can fully understand the Gullah language even though they never came to USA. None of this stuff is taught in schools.

I love the Gullah accent. The Bahamians sound like them too. I heard that a lot of the same Africans in the Bahamas are the same ones that ended up in South Carolina. Is that true? Also noticed the 305 on your handle. I am also a Miami native.

@@Justafox305 My dad mentioned some ancestors form Barbados as well. I will do some research on that.

Bantu peoples came from congo basin. I'm from Tanzania.This topic is on history lesson. You can find this lesson on books for long time. Many people just jokes us as we are BANTUS. Means low people. Arab and somalise took BANTUS as servants. Even you can notes the war between hutu and tusi . Even tusi treat hutu as servants. And tusi feels as first class people while hutu as second.

I completely agree. My family on my father side is from the Bahamas. I’m from Florida too and my entire life, people have been speaking Creole to me or asking me if I was from Haiti. So there is definitely proof in what you are saying. We are just Africans that were spread throughout the Caribbean. We have the same exact bloodline.✊🏿

@KinfolkChatwithSD reading your reply made me catch chills because I feel like the world hates haiti but specially my black ppl my african ppl why hate what got separated we all come from the same pot

@@futuremillionaire3316 yeah it’s very sad. Haiti and Haitians definitely get a bad rap. People like to make blanket statements about the people and culture and it’s not fair. We are all family. 🫶🏿

@@futuremillionaire3316 yeah it’s very sad. Haiti and Haitians definitely get a bad rap. People like to make blanket statements about the people and culture and it’s not fair. We are all family. 🫶🏿

@KinfolkChatwithSD crazy part haiti did so much for every black slaves around the world but that's out the window nobody cares and I go visit haiti yes it's poverty but It beautiful sides that they don't show

Thank you for the information. Even the name “Africa” is from the colonialists as well.

That’s what I was trying to understand and why my dna results didn’t say angolan because all my family from my grandmother come from Virginia and about some 20 odd slaves came to America from Angola

It is an ethnic group, infact the whole of Niger Congo people since the predominant haplotype is E1B1A. People with a common language almost always share a common origin as well.

i only have 2% Congo Dna which i see isnt a lot compared to a lot of people i see on here. I have a lot of Dna from Mali 10% and IVory Coast and Ghana 17% and Benin Togo 22% 39% Nigeria

As we can see different types of people as names that define them.but there is a groupe of people who called themselves human aka bantu that’s means the rest of the the world population are not human

Exactly!

Ha ha! That’s possible 🤭

Hey, Hey Cuz! 😁

Such interesting history. Thank you so much for sharing. My grandmother mentioned that her grandfather “raised rice“. Their family was from South Carolina as well, but we don’t have a specific location because they ended up being moved to Georgia.

My family is from just above the area considered Gullah (in williamsburg and clarendon counties) though half of us moved to NY but when I see videos of the Gullah people here on RU-vid OMG they sound just like my family. Some people cant understand them. I understand it clearly, and my father speaks like that but super fast lol. Thats what I grew up off of.

I think most African-Americans get the same results in those general categories just with varying numbers. It would be nice to see more specific tribal information but we know that is probably years away for this company.

I guess this is true, myself, I am of Caucasian descent

@@TexasNanAhhh. I made the assumption, but I guess it’s just the general categories that they have. Very interesting. Do you know where the African ancestry comes in at?

No, I am very curious though to find out

You are most welcome! The best on your journey! Let me know if you have any questions. 🙏🏿

Yes very true.

Are you related to Battles in North Carolina?

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka yes I am!!! Rufus and Cora Battle!!!

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka among others 😂 ❤️

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka we don’t really talk about the Domestic Slave Trade where 800k people were sold from Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas to the new states of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas.

Nice results! 🌟

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing that. I will add it to my list of places to research.

Please tell me more about the Solar heritage.

Oh my gosh that’s such good history. I’m going to definitely screenshot this and save it for my research. I appreciate that. It lets me know the journey that my ancestors took and clarifies more of the results that I received.

🤔 Interesting and makes sense! www.quora.com/Are-the-Bantu-the-descendants-of-the-Israelites

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka Ohhh. It seems you already know this about your history. Vn. Your ppl and around the world are waking up fast to the truth 💡. In the slave trade it was about taking African Israelites not just any old Africans👍🏽

I am learning from you all via your awesome comments! 🌟 I went and looked it up quickly. Very interesting information. I am going to continue to research it because you are not the 1st person to say this to me over the years. 🙏🏿🌟

Thank you! Yes very confusing at times. 🌟

Niiiice! Same lineage! 🔴⚫️🟢🟡✊🏿

Nice results! You definitely have a lot of mixture in there. Spanish DNA for sure. Look at those African percentages 😃

You are most welcome! 🙏🏿

Awesome results! 🌟

Very nice. I need to see how the Tikar people and people from Louisiana connect. I have had a few matches from there and I’m not sure how the location relates to my family.

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka in my case we assume the Tikar women were sent from Cameroon, to Dominica, then to Haiti and Jamaica then to Louisiana.

I’m glad you brought that up because I’m getting a lot of pings from the Caribbean. I do have Caribbean ancestry on my father’s side but for some reason my mother side is starting to pick up some as well. Thank you so much for that I’m gonna research it. My mom’s side has the Louisiana connections. 🙏🏿

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka glad to help

Hey there! Thanks for connecting. Do you have family in the South? SC or GA?

Are you on Gedmatch?

Yes! Lovely results fam! ✊🏿

That’s possible. Do you have family roots in Georgia or the Bahamas?

That’s interesting. Several factors are at play, including how the platform calculates inheritance and DNA. You’re definitely going to see a lot of similarities and differences between different companies. That’s why I upload my DNA to other platforms just to see how they all lineup. They are definitely all different though. Very cool results!

Thank you 🙏🏿 I am so honored and thankful for your gracious welcome home 🌍. It’s really nice to know the meaning for Bantu.

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka you are most welcome, 💝🌍💙sister! all praise !

🙌🏿🌟

That’s why you should upload your dna to other companies to get a better breakdown. This work is still ongoing.

It’s possible! Do you have roots in SC or GA?

I was thinking the same thing. The percentages differ in places but otherwise my dna breakdown looks the same. That’s what brought me to this channel

@@pl1763 So glad! Yes the categories are pretty similar or the same on various platforms. Please stick around! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🌟

Use Family Matches

Very nice results! Do you know where the Angolan/Congolese came from?

Thank you 🙏🏿. I have actually used Leigh DNA already. I have several videos on this channel about it.

Such a cool find! We are definitely opposite. 🤭 I am majority African with a sprinkle of Irish ☘️. Visited Dublin in 2017! Lovely visit! 🌟

You’re commonalities shouldn’t be surprising

Where is your family from? I have a contact from on my page. We can connect that way as well.

🙌🏿 Absolutely! Much to be proud for! 🌟

​@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka❤

Yes! Thank you for watching 🙏🏿

Hey cuz! 👋🏿 😁

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka hi 😊

Hey Kinfolk! ❤️🖤💚

Nice! 🌟

Congratulations and welcome to the fam! 🙌🏿 Definitely keep researching! 🌟

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka 11% Cameroon/congo/west bantu. 12% indigenous Dominican, 7% Senegal, 5% Mali, 4% Benin togo, 4% Northern Africa, 2% nigeria, 1% Ivory Coast and Ghana! I’m sorry but does this basically mean I’m Dominican with African ancestry?

You are over 30% African. So yes. Pretty much. Very interesting results. It tells the story of the origin of so many Dominicans in general. I have two videos on my channel of Dominican ancestry.

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka I will check them out and this makes me so happy! I love learning new cultures so this is such a breakthrough for me

@@nycmatthew206 So glad! 😊

Thank you so much 🙏🏿🌟

Thanks so much for watching Savage and thanks for the comment! ✨ Wakanda Forever! ✊🏿😁

Hey cuz! ✨ Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate the comment and the view! Yes, I need to learn a lot more about the Cameroonian culture since most of my DNA is from there.

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka yes I understand 100% is very good to know about your roots for the same reason I am about to do African ancestry on my partenal side

@@RA1N1TO Yeah that’s going to be good. I did it for my maternal side. Can’t wait to see the results 👍🏿

@@KinfolkChattingwithEricka wow can't wait to see your result I let you know as well
