OK now that we have my heritage in the states covered, time to fly overseas.
My African heritage is quite varied.....
and very interesting.

I'll start with the first result of DNA.... and just focus on the top ten hits for now.

WEST/SOUTH AFRICA

Bantu Tribes



I found it interesting that my hits for Bantu DNA is twice the normal amount for an African American......Again additional research must be done but for now I'll start with basics.

My top DNA hit was Lemba....This tribe is famously known as the "Black Jews of South Africa"
the first and kind of the only things I found once I started Googling them.
Which I found weird. The last thing I'd think about when I think Africans is Jewish association. :dead:
They are primarily located in Zimbabwe. :stressed:

Mandinka People of Sierra Leone



I was pleasantly surprised and honored to find that I have actual Mandingo warrior blood running through my veins. :dead: :flamebroiled: :receipts:
Mandinka is a tribe originally descended from Mali, later known as Mandingo.

EAST AFRICA

Ethiopia



Honored to have the blood of such a beautiful people running through my veins. I,like many people, have always admired their aesthetics. Shout out to my full blooded Ethiopian sis GODman....u really are my lil sis :stressed: :flamebroiled: :receipts: :stressed:

Ethiopian (Jewish)



This makes the second time something Jewish related popped up in my DNA. My top match, the Lemba people of South Africa, identify as Jewish. Now it is showing I have roots in Beta Israel; again additional research will be required but this is very interesting.

NORTH AFRICA

Morocco

anything at 1-2% isn't insignificant in your genetic makeup.
as you can see I was able to trace and verify my Native American heritage rather quickly, in just a couple hours, and it was just two generations back. not reaching 10 generations back hoping for a pinch of something. or basing it off of a picture I saw.
it's in my immediate family and is part of my heritage. that's proven fact through DNA and family research.
Yet it has evolved to ani-stohini?

Project started: 2014 Wrapped up: 2024

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

And that's the last thing I'll say in here.
