I know that this is where my Scottish results are mainly coming from based on my family tree and it's possibly the same for him.

I'm 49, just found out i'm "adopted" illegaly. So I have NO records , or even names of my biological family. I was told my mom died when giving birth to me. I was a premature baby and the "nuns" gave me to my non biological mother. I doubt my real mother died. I did the Ancestry and all I got were 3rd to 4th cousins. Plus obviously 53% Mexican and Spanish down to Portuguese. The other 1% were from Bantus peoples and African. huh? anyhow. I'm dissapointed. I was thinking of going with different company see what results I get. At my age, I doubt i'll find anyone. I always wanted to have a real brother or maybe I do have sisters from my biological dad, IF big IF it's true my biological mother died. Her family seems they might not know i'm alive ? the nuns could've told them I died as well? My biological father maybe never knew I was born nor my mom was pregnant? so many many questions. Sorry, I went too long. I'm glad you were able to find a half sister. Gives me a bit of hope.

@Nora - since you have tested on Ancestry you can download your raw DNA for free and upload it to multiple other databases for free. These include MyHeritage, Family Tree DNA, Gedmatch, Geni, GeneaNet, and a few others as well. You never know which database might just have a close relative who has tested. Even then, you still may be able to figure it out with in-depth research. I suggest you apply for a Search Angel at www.searchangels.org, which is free to do! You just may end up waiting a bit before you hear from someone to take your case. You should check out the show Relative Race, I have been doing reactions to it and that will likely give you a lot of hope!

Our results have changed quite a lot since our 1st tests on 23&me and Ancestry.com over the years, up to the latest that were this year. They do seem to be more detailed and more accurate every time they update. My Uncle Joseph Lovett is a Peabody Award winning Producer of Documentaries. He recently released a documentary on The Spanish Inquisition called "Children of the Inquisition" about people finding out that they have Sephardic Jewish Ancestry and never knew. Check out Lovettproductions.com. He is also on Facebook. My Late Father, his Brothers and sister are 100% Ashkenazi Jewish. My Dad is the only one of his nuclear family to leave the East Coast and/or marry a gentile. My Late Brother and I are 50% Ashkenazi Jewish, as is my Daughter in Law. My late Brother and I are the only 2 of 11 first cousins who are only 50% Ashkenazi Jewish. The other 9 are/were 100%. I am the only Blue eyed cousin of 11. My two sons hover around 1/4 Ashkenazi Jewish. I now have an almost 3 month old Grandson whose Mom is 50% Ashkenazi Jewish and whose Daddy is about 25% Ashkenazi Jewish. I can't wait to find out what his DNA looks like and how it may change as time and technology move forward.

The Romani did travel from India. Or maybe he has an ancestor that was a British soldier who had a kid in this part of the world during colonial days. I know that English actress Kate Beckinsale has direct Burmese ancestry because her ancestor was a British officer who married a Burmese woman, but their children kept marrying other British people so that’s why Kate Beckinsale looks white. So it’s possible a similar situation may have happened here where it may not be trace result. I saw a British TV a show that does genealogy where an English personality also had Indian DNA because their ancestor was a British soldier who married a local.

Can I add a word or warning to anyone trying to tinker with Ancestry's results. I know of identical twin sisters where one had done an AncestryDNA, the other sister had done a lesser known one. They had slightly different results, so the twin who had done the lesser known one decided to do the Ancestry DNA one, but she decided to put them to the test. On filling out what she knew of her family tree she left her twin off to test them. This was just after there had been cases of stolen identity and Ancestry had been able to help (not sure that they can still legally do that). However, this second sister's results were held back and she was emailed to ask if this was definitely her test, had she got hold of someone else's test and sent it in as hers, and other things. In other words they were asking her if she had stolen some one else's identity, but even then she couldn't see what she'd done. Then at the bottom they asked the question "is there any chance that you could be an identical twin?". Then the offending twin wrote back and admitted what she'd done and they released the results of tests, which of course were identical. Her sister, who had been above board when she did her test, was so absolutely furious about being drawn into this doubt of honesty, that she now feels unwilling to pursue her own genealogy. Luckily her daughter also tested and is getting results. Be aware this isn't a game!

Bantu speakers spread from East Africa South and West, in many cases relatively recently. It almost looks like the majority of some lineages are in West or South Africa, but some Bantu pastoralists returned East with Western and Southern DNA. The same thing happened in Europe when Indo-European steppe pastoralists migrated West - there was a smaller back and forth migration introducing earlier western European DNA to the remaining steppe population.

Bantu is not a tribe but a language group. Just like English is based in the Latin language group. Bantu speaking people is as diverse as Latin speaking people. The reason why there is a push to lump them together is because the genetic study of Bantu speanking people is lacking. The more we are aware of the diversity the more categories there will be. As for now they have broad categorizations like Western Bantu, South Eastern Bantu, South Western Bantu, etc. A Tribe is a cultural group like Fulani, Wolof, Igbo, Yoruba. Bantu speaking people have many tribes, Bantu is not a tribe. Also there is recent genetic study that discovered the genetic diversity of Bantu speaking people. This study reveals that prior to the "Bantu expansion" there was already genetic diversity. Once they settled down in southern or eastern locations in Africa, some mixed with local groups and others didn't. But the Bantu language has speakers of different genetic backgrounds. I hope genetic studies continue in Africa so we can stop having to use these broad terms to describe African people just because we speak similar languages. We know that Nigeria's Yoruba and Igbo tribes are part of the Niger Congo language family but we don't call them "Niger-Congo" tribe. There is a lot to learn about the diversity of Africa and the more genetic study and anthropology is done on the continent the better we will be able to understand that these broad terms just don't cut it.

As a Southern Bantu, before there were DNA test. We have knowledge passed down that says that we came from the Tanzania region. 'Tanganyika' literally translates where the country/world started. I knew that e had migrated to Southern Africa. I have noticed that there is a language similar to mine in Tanzania....the migration from West Africa is BS. There is no language in West Africa that is similar to my language, there is less cultural similarities with west africa, we even look phenotypically different. Later on they reclassified 'Bantu' to Southern Bantu, Western Bantu and the other one....but if you check our haplogroups, they differ....I think scientist are just trying to force the Bantu migration thing from West Africa. Bantu is a language group, I will believe my ancestors. Time and time again science ends up backing what they have been saying for centuries.

There are definitely similarities, but once you start going into Lingala, the Central African, South Western and just Western African languages, they are so completely different it makes no sense.

Languages from the Nilo-Saharan, pigmy, xhoisan groups among many different groups don’t seem to have any classifiers.

My understanding of Bantu tribes is that they migrated to Southern Africa from Central and East Africa. This is evident in the similarities between Swahili (spoken in East Africa) and Xhosa, Zulu ( and other languages spoken in SA). So it is not surprising that she has Bantu heritage. What is surprising is the Khoisan which is considered as one of the first nation tribes in Southern Africa (South Africa and I think Namibia). But that just my basic understanding of African history 😊😊😊 This was really interesting because I too have a hotly debated lineage. My small tribe is based in Uganda and DRC (boarder area). Some say we are originally from West Africa (Yuruba/Igbo) some say Central Africa, some say South Sudan. I say... I'm just happy to be African 😁😁😁😁.

Kimmys results make sense but the ranges are a bit odd. I’m Kenyan and I did 23 and me and that was far more specific. I got mostly Kenyan like 91% (southern eastern bantu) and then the rest was a mixture of horn African countries such as Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia. I feel like a mixture of East African countries is more accurate. But it could also be because we are from different tribes. The southern eastern bantu broad results comes from the migration from central regions of Congo and cameroon which saw a huge bantu expansion to east and South Africa and that saw a lot of mixing with different groups and that might be why she has a huge percentage of both Congo, east Africa and South Africa. But her results still seem too broad and maybe they have updated

LOL I realize this is now pretty old, but it has always irked me that some non-believers think that these DNA companies are pulling information for testers based on something other than genetics. I'm pretty sure when I first tested my grandfather, I didn't have to provide an accurate name and he didn't even have an account. Not even sure that I had to denote his gender. I had not done a family tree for him. The only thing that had me suspicious about his results is that he matched genealogists I already knew. I was kinda like, "Hmm...small world!" Somewhat thinking that the Western African-Ancestored people had somehow been lumped together. But many tests and years later, as well as uploading the raw data to other websites, I've realized that my perception was incorrect. We just happen to have a long history in the Southern & Eastern USA like many of the matches I had already met through genealogy research. Also, that endogamy is very real and happens in various ways.

Your comment about it being lots of distance ancestors DNA adding up rather than a single recent match....I think that's the case with my Norwegian/Icelandic DNA match. I have a pretty well researched treat on both sides of my family. First gaps/uncertainty start at g-g-grandparent or later. Most ancestors on both sides are focused on the same small part of Yorkshire, where research has shown there is a very strong concentration of ancient DNA and was an area heavily settled by Vikings. That said, the origins of my surname suggest a senior Norman connection, so will be interested in seeing if I do a y-dna match suggests that is an accurate connection.
