African-American

Relatives: 3rd cousins and more distant.

Relatives: 2 sets of great-grandparents, cousins, and aunts an uncles.

4 of my children.

Yes, my 4th great aunt on my mother's side married a slave. I have many African-American cousins.

Yes, I am Afro-Indigenous

In reality everyone has some African ancestery.

I cannot find mine

I do not carry the DNA but I have matches that are as well as Vietnamese and Latino. I can find some of it but not all of it. I suspect its in my Bailly line and somewhere in Virginia or WVA but havent found the link yet. I may never find it.

Just discovered yesterday that my 3rd great grandfather was 1/2 black (so my 4th gg'ma was black) and a slave.

My grandfather on my father's side was octoroo.

My maternal great grandmother

Ancestors, no. Cousins, yes.

I only found what claims to be a 3rd cousin. We have DNA matched in a few different test, but can’t identify who the family members are that link us.

My DNA shows 2.5 African American, one out of seven grandchildren tested also has a slightly smaller amount. My siblings who have tested do not show any percentage either so that is also interesting. I do not know how to find out which side of my tree it comes from, Dutch or Irish.

Yes, but my biological father was Cuban.

Yes. 2% in my DNA. There were enslaved people on my father's side who moved to Louisiana and were part of a free Afirican-American community. I've traced it back about 5 generations.

https://www.freeafricanamericans.com/ has some interesting information about different families and you might find your relatives there

Yes, my great great grandmother was a FPOC and my great grandmother 'passed' as whites I was unaware of my heritage until recently. I have reached a dead end in researching my great great grandmother's ancestors.

Yes, I do. My maternal side of the family owned many slaves in South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas and Louisiana so I have connected with ancestors I keep in contact with almost daily.

My paternal side also did in Georgia possibly North Carolina.

It breaks my heart to pieces. I have met some amazing people with forgiving hearts and some who have not.

Yes 3% in my DNA testing. I am not sure from where but its there along with Native American

I have some cousins that are.

Relatives: My brother has done most of the tracing of relatives in the US while I trace the lines back into the old world. He has found lines that had slave owners. He has even been able to trace some of the lines of their mixed offspring forward too today.

I do . I'm approximately 49 % Northen African . Algerian.

I have one percent Ivory Coast and Ghana, I have one percent Cameroon, Congo and western Bantu people. How do I find out how that came to be in my DNA? Most of my DNA is Scandinavian, Scots, Irish and Germanic. This was a surprise, but not an unhappy surprise. I really would like to know more about it

Yes, I have African-American ancestry but I am a West Indian American.

Distant according to DNA test about 10%

Yes, of course.

I did my DNA with 23andMe. I have 0.3 0/0 put back to my 5th great grand mother most likely on my mother's side.Alone with Jewish blood UK and most other countries in the world.I think is cool!

I was very surprised to find out I am as much Hispanic as I am African, with a third being Scottish. I never even knew I had African ancestors.

I am African American on my paternal side my 2X Great grandfather was enslaved in Greenwich Connecticut and freed in 1803. His grandson went on to marry the daughter of a free Black man, who served in the Civil War at times as a sharpshooter. My biggest surprise was discovering I had 35% scattered European ancestry. And when i say scattered i mean across Europe with a concentration in NW Europe
