Encourage Your African Friends to DNA Test ~~ Locating Family



Something AMAZING is happening.  Many people are learning their ancestry at an alarrming rate.  The DNA tests are simple.  You order them online and they come in the mail.  With some you simply follow th einstructions and swab inside the cheek of your mouth while with others, you simply provide saliva in a tube.  You mail the test back in the package they provide for you and somewhere around 6 to 8 weeks, you have some results.

Many have used the following companies to do so.

1.  www.africanancestry.com to learn their possible African ethnic group
2.  www.familytreedna.com to find relatives and learn their haplogroups
3.  www.ancestry.com to find relatives and learn their haplogroups
4.  www.23andme.com to find relatives, health info, and learn their haplogroups

Those of us that have tested with multiple companies would like to appeal to you. If you are African, please consider testing.  If you know of any Africans that KNOW their ethnic groups and locations of origins in Africa, encourage them to test with www.23andme.com for $99.  It is VERY much possible that they will match with others in the 23 and Me database.  This helps African Americans to leran more about who we are and where we came from.

Several African Americans have tested with multiple companies and have found genetic matches around the world.   Some have matches with over 1,000 relatives around the world.  These are their REAL genetic relatives.  The most fortunate ones are those that match with Africans that KNOW their origins!!!  23 and me is the better option to do just that.  The potential is so compelling that the $99 cost is well worth it.
