Fireflame144000: If all you're saying is true, then it might explain your test. However, initially I noticed you smirked at the possibility of having ashnekazi jewish ancestry. 1 Like |

bigfrancis21: Because it says Nazi in it, so I thought it was funny, plus my ancestor was a Sephardi jew not an Ashkenazi Jew, so I didn't know I had any Ashkenazi Jewish Ancestors |

In some way, my mind casts some doubt on the entire 'DNA ancestry' thing. Could this be some made-up test just to merely back-up some 'jewish' ancestry of Igbos? 1 Like |

Well, this is unexpected. A maternal Jewish great-great grandfather. That puts your Jewish ancestor in the 19th century, at least. One wouldn't think there were Jewish men mixing with women in the relatively insular interior of Igboland at that time. But it does make a little sense, going by your revelation that he was Sephardic, and not Ashkenazi. Do you know any details about this Jewish ancestor? Where he came from? What brought him to Nigerian shores in about the 19th century? |

Radoillo: I'll have to ask my parents, well maybe not my parents my grandmother specifically. But I can say that my mother's grandfather was a general in the army if that helps. |
Re: Help! What Do I Do With My Ancestry? by Fireflame144000: 12:56pm On May 23, 2015 |
tpiadotcom: again, I'd have to ask her, but All I know was that my grandfather was a general in the army so that's a clue. But as for the Askenazi part, my father side is really rich and they own businesses and travel a lot, so that's probably had the Ashkenazi got in there in the first place, from traveling. |

tpiadotcom: I think Radi give the years, the 19th century. |

@OP. All the pointers suggest you're from west Africa. And it's safe to say you're origin is Nigeria since a different test said precisely Nigeria. |

Fireflame144000: Igbos and Cameroonians should have no differences genetically These tests are not without question This is what happens when nigerian parents bring up kids in America and refuse to take them home to connect with their roots They grow up with all sorts of complexes and begin asking ridiculous questions and seeking answers to them [size=18pt]I blame your parents[/size] 5 Likes |

Science is never exact, basically very good estimates within set confidence intervals. All your other ancestries could easily be noise to yout 60% Nigerian signal. Or it could be that some of your ancestors might have migrated from one of these places. With no records, you might never know. |

Fireflame144000: The results of those test methods are never conclusion. Nigeria is the most populous Black nation on earth. In other words, population of Nigerian is 99.9% black. If you're parents are black Nigerian immigrants then you're a 100% West African black person. |
