This is post of my Ethnic Analyses from AncestryDNA, 23andme, FamilyTreeDNA, MyHeritage, LivingDNA, Gene2me (Sequencing.com). I did testing at 23andme and AncestryDNA. I uploaded my 23andme genome to FamilyTreeDNA, MyHeritage, and LivingDNA. I uploaded my Dante Labs full sequence genome bam file to Sequencing.com AncestryDNA Ethnicity Estimate 53% Africa 12% Benin & Togo 12% Cameroon Congo & Western Bantu Peoples 12% Nigeria 8% Senegal 6% Ivory Coast & Ghana 2% Mali 1% Nigeria - East Central 45% Europe 15% England & Northwestern Europe 14% Jewish Peoples of Europe 6% Portugal 5% France 3% Spain 2% Wales 2% Americas 1% Indigenous Puerto Rico 1% Indigenous Americas - Ecuador 23andme Ancestry Composition 49.7% Sub Saharan African 44.3% West African (20.2% Nigerian, 12.9% Ghanaian, Liberian & Sierra Leonean, 8.9% Senegambian & Guinean, 2.3% Broadly West African) 5.4% Congolese & Southern East African ...

My AncestryDNA Ethnicity Estimate Update

This is a review about my AncestryDNA Ethnicity Estimate My Genealogical Ancestry I am a multicontinental American that is highly multiethnic, and I am related to many of my fellow Americans in many different ways. My paternal grandfather's father's ancestry was African American. He had some European ancestry. My paternal grandfather's mother's ancestry was African American. My paternal grandmother's father's ancestry was African American. He had some European ancestry. My paternal grandmother's mother's ancestry was African American with English, Acadian (French in what now known as Nova Scotia), Polish, Swiss, and German. My maternal grandfather's father 's ancestry was Cape Verdean (Portuguese and Sub-Saharan African) His parents were immigrants when Cape Verde was still a Portuguese colony. My maternal grandfather's mother's ancestry was Puerto Rican (Spanish, Sub-Saharan African, and Taino) on her father's side and Madeir...

The Review of The Non-Sub Saharan African Regions of My AncestryDNA Ethnicity Estimate

I want to go over the non-Sub Saharan African in my AncestryDNA Ethnicity Estimate. This is to show why parent-child DNA phasing is essential. The problems of not phasing becomes obvious if a person has a vast majority of specific continental ancestry that comes from parent that has tested. I take ethnic analyses with a strong grain of salt and focus mainly on DNA relative matches. I do think that knowing the continental ancestries are helpful, but I am skeptical of the breakdown of each continental ancestry because of all the mixing that went on in people in the continents throughout history going back to highly ancient times. I am especially skeptical of the European continental breakdown with my longtime reading of the history of the mixing of populations in Europe. After getting and reading 'Ancestry Reimagined: Dismantling the Myth of Genetic Ethnicities' by Kostas Kampourakis, I even question these ethnicity estimates even more. Kampouraki...
