I got my African Ancestry results back in October 2021. African Ancestry gave me a certificate informing me that my patrilineal ancestry is the Akan people in Ghana today.I did 23andme testing back in 2011. According to 23andme, I have E-M85 (E2b1) which is a SubSaharan African haplogroup that indicates that I don't descend from a European Scott nor any other European on my paternal line. 1 in 7,600 23andme customers share my haplogroup assignment. I know a man with the last name Koch who has both E-M85 Y DNA haplogroup and paternal African American roots in Louisiana like myself. He was told that his patrilineal ancestry was Lissongo in Central Africa. Even though African Ancestry tested only 8 STR markers, Koch and I have different ethnic group results even though both of us have E-M85 Y DNA haplogroups. He told me about his results before I took the test. I discussed my results with him, and he told me that African Ancestry was odd. He told me that he kinda thinks that it is not very reliable. Later on, he even told me that African Ancestry is nothing but an expensive haplogroup test. He told me that he had posted that on their facebook website years ago and that he was blocked by them for it. Locations of men that I see under E-M85 haplogroup branch at yfull.com site: Saudi Arabia (Ar Riyad) , The Western Gambia, United Arab Emirates, Congo (Kinhasa), Saudi Arabia (Ash Sharquiyah), Western Kenya (Magharibi), Kenya, Saudi Arabia (Ha'il), Bahrain (Al Mahurraq), Bahrain (Al Janubiyah), South Africa, Zimbabwe (Midlands), Saudi Arabia (Ash Shaquiyah), Kuwait, Yemen (Shabwah), Kenya (Rift Valley), Saudi Arabia (Ar Riyad)I did FamilyTreeDNA's Big Y-700 test. I got my results back in January 2022. It tests 700+ STR markers. I was assigned Y DNA haplogroup E-BY101982. There are 4 testers that have the markers for E-BY101982, but I am the only one assigned to it. I have ten private variants which are also novel variants. The other 3 testers are African Americans. E-M75 is also known E2according to FamilyTreeDNA E-M75's paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor E-M96 and the rest of mankind around 48,000 BCE.The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 35,000 BCE.There are 198 DNA tested descendants, and they specified that their earliest known origins are from Saudi Arabia, United States, Sudan, and 21 other countries. E-M85's paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor E-M98 and the rest of mankind around 15,000 BCE.The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 12,000 BCE.There are 139 DNA tested descendants, and they specified that their earliest known origins are from Saudi Arabia, United States, Kenya, and 15 other countries. E-BY101982's paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor E-BY108741 and the rest of mankind around 850 CE.The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 1100 CE.There are 4 DNA tested descendants, and they specified that their earliest known origins are from United States with 2 from unknown countries.patrilineal country origins of my Y DNA matches at FamilyTreeDNAAt 12 markersexact match2 - England4 - United States3 - United States (Native American)- 1 distance 8 - United States7 - England1 - Columbia1 - Ethiopia1 - Kenya1 - Kuwait1 - Oman1 - Saudi Arabia1 - United Kingdom I don't know why England was counted separate from United Kingdom.
