Dear Jide
Here is my story. My mom grew up in Ireland and all of my relitives are from there on both sides. A couple of weeks ago I thought I would test my DNA, because I can go back as far as 1820, but before that, not much. When the results, came back, I expected Northern European or Celtic maybe. I had them check it twice, in case of an error, but there was no mistake.
I am .05 Northern European and 99.5% African.
South Sotho and Tswana-60%
Guinea-Bisseau- 35% and 18 other tribes from Sub-Saharan
Africa make up the rest.
I guess some of my questions are-
Are there any traditional connections between Besotho and Ireland- and how would they make such a trip? In Ireland, when the Celts got there in 300, they found “black men” already living there. This is only a legend, but apparently it is true.
Where can I learn more about African history and traditions? and am I now an African American,(for 5 days) a European American or just Shawn.
Thanks for your help,
Shawn
