Well, I discovered my maternal ancestry recently thanks to my mother's and her siblings' DNA testing.
That was pretty nice... to finally get a good an idea of where my people came from, specifically.
Turns out that they're mostly descended from the Tikar and Bamileke native groups of Cameroon on her side. Benin/Togo/Ghana was the the second largest region they shared genetic markers with, followed by Mauritania.
My father's ancestry was traced the old-school way, and I'm not sure if his siblings have had any genetic testing done. I'll have to ask them to get a idea about my specific African ancestry on his side, since he passed away.
Have you or any of your close family members been tested?
I seem to recall you mentioning that you are Afro-Latina. If so, you may have Igbo or Yoruba ancestry.
