My mother's Genealogical Ancestry

She's a 3rd generation Californian

her paternal grandfather: American born in California and son of immigrants from Cape Verde (Portuguese and Sub Saharan African)

her paternal grandmother: American born in California with a father from Puerto Rico (Spanish, Sub Saharan African, and Taino) and a mother that was a Hawaiian daughter of immigrants from Madeira (Portuguese with Sub Saharan African)

her maternal grandfather: European American born in Oregon of mainly English ancestry with German, Swiss, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Dutch, and Frisian

colonial roots in Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island

other roots in Missouri, Kansas, Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana

her maternal grandmother: Ashkenazi Jewish American born in Nebraska with a father born in Romania and a mother born in Courland (in what is now known as Latvia) in Russian Empire

Because of the Transatlantic Slave trade, she doesn't know anything about her Sub Saharan African ancestry, but I am sure that it's mainly from West and Central Africa. Most of the Sub Saharan African slaves were brought from West and Central Africa. Africa has over 3,000 ethnic groups, and that includes Nigeria having over 400 ethnic groups. Her Sub Saharan African ancestry is highly likely to consist of multiple Sub Saharan African ethnic groups.

Offspring of an African American and a European American Is Not Half Black and Half White

There is a very common misconception that offspring of European American parent and an African American parent is half black and half white. This stems from the following: Race (human categorization) A race is a categorization of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into groups generally viewed as distinct within a given society.[1] The term came into common usage during the 1500s, when it was used to refer to groups of various kinds, including those characterized by close kinship relations.[2] By the 17th century, the term began to refer to physical (phenotypical) traits, and then later to national affiliations. Modern science regards race as a social construct, an identity which is assigned based on rules made by society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization) Miscegenation Miscegenation (/mɪˌsɛdʒəˈneɪʃən/ mih-SEJ-ə-NAY-shən) is the interbreeding of people who are considered to be members of different races.[1] The word, now usually consid...
