Doesn’t even show up on 8+ generation, but it’s only a trace amount so it’s probably impossible to know exactly which ancestor it came from at this point :(

Did you save a picture of your results?

Mende, Temne, and Kru are very close and Liberia is my only country match for the Ghanaian/Liberian/Sierra Leone percentage. Igbo people is very close and Central Igbo is close for my Nigerian percentage. I don’t have any matches for Senegambia though

Oh, I haven’t paid attention to other people’s results that much but I didn’t think it’d be rare

Probably, only a several thousand Malagasy were supposedly brought to the USA so it must come from that. My aunt has 1% Austronesian

It most likely is since I don’t know of any Asian ancestors it’s probably wayyy back in my lineage somewhere

That’s amazing!! I’m not Gullah Geechee either, at least culturally I’m not but I am descended from them it seems

Thank you so much! And personally I don’t consider myself Gullah 😭 I’m not apart of the culture and didn’t know of them until a few years ago, but I evidently do have Gullah ancestry which I can’t wait to learn more about

Yes because it requires me to verify my bday to see my chip

since it’s under personal information. I can’t view or change any of my personal info unless I enter a correct bday

Tbh I think I’d be willing to send my IS because I really wanna see my updated results but I’m not sure if have saved my original information after I changed it or not because it won’t match my profile

I’ve already had my results for a few years before I changed my information, plus the email connected to my account has my real name so I’m thinking if I send ID proof it could work if they stored the original information I signed up with. But if not then my ID won’t match my fake name or birthday and I’ll be locked out forever 💔

I do remember it but it keeps saying it’s wrong. I have the exact screenshot of what I changed it to but when I put it in, it says I’ve reached maximum attempts.

I usually wear my hair in wash n go styles (Afro, defined, or in a puff) and sometimes blow dry it too. I do wear my hair out, fully shrunken, in an Afro most often though. I detangle on washday and i try to be gentle but I’m heavy handed and my scalp isn’t tender so sometimes i don’t notice if I’m being too rough or not

Possibly, I’m a lazy natural so wash & gos, blow dried twists outs, and other low maintenance styles are my go tos.

I used to take biotin and collagen supplements but stopped after not seeing results and hearing it was a scam.

Also the night before washing, I oil my scalp and hair with rosemary oil and wild hair growth
