I took the 23 and me thing a couple christmases ago. The confidence level on those things isnt as high as youd like but the results came back that im .3% nigerian. It gives you the time frame that your last ancestor left the homeland and it said ihad ancestors in nigeria dating back to thr 1600s. I thought it was bunk but my mom did the test and got the same results.
Should i be ashamed that my relatives mignt have owned slaves?
