Here's what a random American on a forum had to say after tracing his ancestry.

Great article, but there is one problem with this information. This DnA information compares ones DNA with that of other LIVING people whose DNA samples were collected for this purpose. Although, as the article states, there "hasn't been much movement," there have been some developments to be careful about. For example, the article lists "Hausa" and "Fulani/Fulbe." The problem is, the Fulani invaded the Hausa in 1804, and the two ethnicities have been intertwined ever since.

When I did my maternal DNA, it gave me the result of "Tikar and Hausa-Fulani." That means that my mitochondrial DNA is shared with living people who come from the Tikar and Hausa-Fulani populations. I didn't know about the Hausa-Fulani war of 1804, so I wasn't sure why they hyphenated the names of what I thought were two separate ethnicities. So I read up and learned that, in fact, at the time my last African-born Mitochondrial ancestor would've been born, the Hausa and Fulani were separate ethnic groups. The Fulani were based further north of the Hausa. After the war basically united the two peoples, they in turn expanded, exerting influence over smaller groups like the Tikar, who are from south of where the Hausa were.

As a result, I interpret my DNA result as being Tikar. As much as I'd like to claim the powerful, storied heritage of the Hausa and Fulani, it is most probable that my great-great-times-however many-grandmother was a Tikar girl from what's now Cameroon. I could be wrong, but for now, it makes the most sense to me. Her MtDNA is shared with people who today are Hausa-Fulani probably because of developments that occurred on the continent after she was taken away. A lot of mixture would've occurred between them nowadays than back then.

Because of what I've learned and what I've concluded, I question whether many African-Americans have any Hausa or Fulani heritage, and I wonder how many other stories like this there may be with other ethnic groups -- particularly the Ashanti. Nevertheless, a fascinating piece, and hopefully more knowledge about our past is forthcoming.

Haha Anderson is not hausa I dont were you get this information

Diallo came from a prominent Fulbe family of Muslim religious leaders. His grandfather had founded the town of Bundu, and he grew up with Samba Geladio Diegui the heir (kamalenku) to the Kingdom of Futa-Toro. In 1730, Ayuba became a victim of the ever-growing slave exploitation of the Senegambia region. Ayuba and his interpreter Loumein Yoas (also known as “Lamine Jay,” “Lahamin Joy,” “Lahmin Jay,” “Lamine Ndiaye,” “Loumein Ybai,” and “Lamine Jay”) were near the Gambia River to trade slaves and paper. While visiting some friends on their return trip, Ayuba and Yoas were captured by invading Mandingoes.[1] The invaders shaved their heads to make them appear as war captives, and thereby supposedly legitimately enslavable, as opposed to their actual condition of people captured in a kidnapping raid for the specific purpose of selling slaves for financial profit. The two men were sold to factors of the Royal African Company. Ayuba subsequently convinced English Captain Pike of his high social status, and explained his father was capable of paying ransom. Pike granted Ayuba leave to find someone to send word to Ayuba’s family. Since the messenger did not return in time, at the behest of Captain Henry Hunt, Pike’s superior, Ayuba and Loumein were sent across the Atlantic to Annapolis, Maryland, where he was delivered

Lol peter is not hausa too

Glenda too is not hausa

Wrong thread

I think the OP is talking about people who took the controversial DNA test and found they were partly of Hausa ancestry. 'Being Hausa' and 'being of Hausa descent' do not exactly mean the same thing.

Bullshit! Anthony Anderson is Jaybee3 and he has no Hausa blood

Lol! Calm down mate, I know how much we enjoy, take pride even in the fact that our people may have had an easier time during slavery, probably the statement I posted above may suggest that these people that have tikar and or hausa or fulbe blood may have been actually tikar indeed but on the other hand there's still the possibility of traces of hausa dna in them, so it's plausible. And the bloke you posted below is a pullo man btw, not hausa. I thought someone as learned as you in hausa culture would know better than to cram us together, I think you created the appropriate thread for that. But thanks for your input nonetheless, surprised your good friend fulaman198 didn't show up though.
