At least they still hold on to their Igbo ancestry out of other possible ancestries they may have.

No Congolese at all

bigfrancis21:
Thank you. I have that material but I withheld dropping the link since. That's the same Mildo Hall he claimed attacked Dr. Douglas Chambers.

I just discovered another PDF book, 'Slavery in Maryland' released by the Museum of Maryland, in conjunction with the University of Maryland(one of the top schools in the US). In the book, despite not focusing much on African Ethnicities and slave numbers, however they gave the most credence to the Igbo group for their participation in the slave trade.

Hello all.

Here is another interesting video from Geneticist Dr Kittles who explains the Genetic structure of the African American Population.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYv5Ig7WglA


If you go back 14 generations you have 16,384 Ancestors. The Y DNA TEST and Mt DNA test only show DNA from Father to Son
or from Mother to Daughter. It will not show you what Mothers pass to their Sons or what Fathers have passed to their daughters therefore missing thousands of persons DNA in your ancestry.

Mt and Y DNA is only a small Fraction of your Ancestry and by NO MEANS all of it.

Jayvarley:
Of course you are correct. If you move Millions of People from different Tribes and Ethnicities and place them together there will be Genetic crossover.


Have a look at this link which confirms just that.

Jayvarley:
My understanding is that when two populations inhabit a particular area soon enough there will be people who mix with each other.

So for instance a Jamaican Igbo will not be as pure as a Nigerian Igbo and may have features from other ethnicities or races.


Yet I would never deny the great influence the IGBO had on Jamaican linguistics.

On a video by Dr Kittles on Youtube they did conduct a Mt DNA test on Mae Jemison and could not specify her tribal origins.

The same thing is happening to many other African Americans!

Everything is not as clear cut as you may like it to be.



If you research on a convicted rapist by the name of Delroy Grant who offended between 1992 and 2009.

At one of his crimes he left DNA behind and this was sent to the US to analysed.
The geneticist's concluded he was of Caribbean extraction and they felt that we was from one of the Windward islands.


Though Grant was from Jamaica the Geneticists were not far off. The were correct in the fact he was Caribbean.
He was not mistaken genetically for a native African. This tells us that there is something unique in the DNA of Caribbean people,
which has experienced changes, mutations and admixture since the time we were in Africa.

PhysicsQED:
I like how everybody is being claimed to be either Senegambian, Akan, Yoruba, or Igbo.

JiggamanGh:
He looks Igbo. He knew it before he even took the test.

ezeagu:
But the testing website says he came out Igbo?

Are you sure Tikar and Igbo are not the same genetically?

i 100 percent agree with you!
in fact it was HER results that i was waiting for to see if it was accurate.

anyway, saw this on African Ancestry's facebook.

pretty interesting. . .

skfa1:
Eddie Murphy looks Ghanian.

I think so aswell

Ifygurl:
U people are funny.

@ Yoruba people

Chamillionare is Yoruba (His family is Yoruba)  but to me he doesn't look like one.

I'll say Blair underwood is Igbo
Afterall his an Igbo descendant(That's what the DNA test he took said).

And i'll say Judge Hatchett is Yoruba mixed with Hausa
(She's a descendant of both tribe).

And Will Smith looks Igbo to me.

Who is Brash? Can someone post a picture of him please.

MrCrackles:
including john mccain?

So where does Whoopi Goldberg come from? I feel she's Ghanian

plusQueen:
How about Condoleeza Rice?
In my opinion she looks like her mother is from Osun state and father from Abakaliki

R-kelly looks Igbo
Chamillionaire-- thick Yoruba man
Fantasia--- thick Yoruba woman
Keysha Cole--- Yoruba

skfa1:

Chingy looks igbo

Omenani:
There is no denying that Usher has Igbo roots. lol 

Igbo blood is running through many African Americans, because the British got most of their slaves from the Bight of Biafra.

tamme:
Grabielle Union looks igbo

I don't know wat to blive anymore Sha..

bigfrancis21:
A substantial amount of AAs of partial/full Igbo ancestry keep visiting Igboland each year. Prominent Hollywood stars such as Danny Glover, Wesley Snipes, Danny Whitaker etc who have paternal Igbo ancestries have all visited Igboland. Last year 28 AAs with Igbo ancestries visited Igboland. This year another different set of about 18 of them also paid a visit to Igboland.

Other Hollywood stars with part Igbo ancestries are Blair Underwood, Chris Tucker, Quincy Jones etc.
DNA testing has continued to prove Dr. Chambers Douglas' research conclusion right, that 'at least 60% of African Americans have at least 1 Igbo ancestor'. If that hurts you so much, go and hug the nearest transformer.

I never said that. Neither did I do the research or the DNA testings. I'm only reiterating facts and I'll continue to standby it much to the chagrin of those who choose to be blinded to the real facts.

AloyEmeka6:
What about Flavor Flav? Is he igbo too?

africhika:
how do we know all these celebs are of igbo descent??
most AA have european blood too.


blair underwood got his DNA tested and it was traced to igbo.

mamagee3:
Ray is from Nigeria!

eldee:
Okay, list all the african american celebs in the US so we'll know that there were no other countries that participated in the slave trade.
