My uncle traced our family history the old fashioned way a long time ago.

You probably have the information that costs extra with the DNA search. All those files and names, dates , and connections are not part of the $99.00 special.

Ancestry.com told me my mother was a hamster and my father smelt of elderberries

29% Coastal West African (Senegal, Ghana, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Benin)

26% Nigerian

7% Congolese Bantu

 

Overall, 85% Sub Saharan African. The other 15% is (10% British/Irish, and 2% Native American). 

Also after some digging around, found out my people care along during the beginnings of the 13 colonies.

Guess I’ll go to Nigeria first, then try to hit up the other West African countries.

I've been to Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Madagascar not in a professional status and was fascinated. I had such a good time trying to communicate with people and just soak it all in. Kids were great, people friendly. One of the more memorable experiences in my life. 

On the opposite side of that coin, I've been to Ethiopia and Somalia and it was depressing, terrifying, and you remember all that "We Are the World" stuff from the 1980's? You don't even want to know what became of all that in Somalia. I got plenty of horror stories from those 2 places.

Irish and Russian mostly.  I was able to trace grandparents through Ellis island records of passenger manifests. It was fascinating because both sides of my family wanted to deny that my relatives were immigrants -- always saying we are AMERICANS!! so sad, really.

My Surname is a town in Western England and Central Virginia. Besides being basic English my GGGM was full blood Cherokee (apparently everyone says this but hey) and there is some German and Irish blood in there. I am a direct descendant of Katherine Parr who was the only wife not executed by Henry VIII. My grandmother did some sort of ancestry thing back in the day before it was easy and somehow they came back with Swedish horse thieves in Ireland. She was horrified and we don't speak of it. She is 92.

My family were Latvian Opium farmers and the other side ran Estonian lake side sex shows.
