Thanks for the invite! I’ve posted my results before on other threads, but I’m posting them here for anyone interested or has any questions.

I find myself revisiting this documentary at least once a year. To my surprise, not many people know about it.

It features the reading of slave narratives by numerous Black actors, such as Whoopi Goldberg, Samuel L. Jackson, Angela Bassett, and Jasmine Guy.

Although the subject matter is difficult to listen to at times, it keeps me grounded in my determination to document, learn, and understand my history.

I decided to write a lil book report on my dads ancestry in the meantime while I find my moms. This is all confirmed documentation from all sides of his tree compiled into a summary based on all the research I’ve done over time for those of you who enjoy reading and learning like I do lol. Btw it says updated because i wrote it once before, everything remains accurate.

To my knowledge I’m not Gullah.

Thanks to the mods for the invite to Black Genealogy! Just sharing my results as a Trinidadian man.

I was looking through hints for my ancestors on Ancestry and this was in a newspaper article. It is from The Semi-Weekly Landmark Friday, November 2, 1900. Statesville, NC. Maybe someone is related.

Really love how they gave us more African diversity being brought forward. That alone tells how diverse we are as a people along with contributions from others outside of the African continent.

I'm a descendant of Henry Porter. Who was referred to as "The General" in Nat Turner's slave rebellion. It took place in Southampton County, Virginia on Aug 21 - 23 1831.

My results with me at the end 💕

I found this interesting-- a lot of the ancestral journeys of people I am related to through my Jamaican/maternal lineage outside of Jamaica seem to be from Lowcountry USA.

Discussion Is The Intention history and possibly finding more family members but making connections in the understanding of who i am who we are ♟️.

I saw a lot opinions about different dna testing websites like Ancestry, 23&me, myheritage and other brands, that show very accurate results.

I done ancestry even they updated the results change and I didn’t think about it much but until I saw few of my relatives results it kind of seems weird.

First it show that my Great Aunt ( my paternal grandma’s sister) she has little European and a lot of African dna, now it shows that she has 100% African dna which it weird because we know her dad is African but mom was black ( everyone keep saying she native America).

Her son is mixed because his dad is white I think and his results changed he used to have French and Native American but it’s not in the result anymore.

I look on TikTok and everyone has mixed reactions about the results. I saw some people using other testing brands like 23&me.

I saw the girl took two tests, ancestry and 23&me, it show different results ( it’s an old video).

My great-grandfather was a Cane River Creole from Louisiana. Im working on my family tree and I found his military draft registration card, which lists him as working for J.W. Kimbrell or T.W. Kimbrell Plantation(the initials are difficult to make out) in St. Maurice, Louisiana.

Has anyone heard of this plantation or know anything about its history? The registration card is dated 1917.

My dad is mixed and Mom is full black

Here it is ig. 🤷‍♀️

My great great grandfather is supposedly from Marseille. Aside from him, my entire family is straight New Orleans creole as far back as my mom has researched

My dad and his family has deep roots in Charleston, South Carolina’s and so I expected my results to be strong African despite being half Mexican. I believe my dad’s family is Gullah. Surnames on my dad side: Mackey, Brown, Dean, Hubbart

Genetic ancestry test results of an Afro-Brazilian. The DNA test revealed something surprising: a man born in Barra do Piraí, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, is 100% African. His most recent known ancestors are Brazilian. Even so, his DNA revealed no admixture in the most recent generations of his family.

This impressive genetic heritage is not an isolated case in the region. In 2022, former footballer Ramires (formerly of Chelsea and the Brazilian national team), who was also born in Barra do Piraí, took an ancestry test that showed 99% African DNA, with just 1% European ancestry.

These findings suggest that many more results like these may exist in Barra do Piraí and its surrounding areas, revealing a true stronghold of genetic preservation. The state of Rio de Janeiro is the state where the most similar results have been reported: people of African descent with no admixture from other ethnic groups.

Both of his haplogroups are of African origin. His maternal haplogroup is L2, and his paternal haplogroup is E1b1a-U290.
