Dewayne's DNA Test Results

Introduction | Surnames | DNA Test Results | Ancestry.com Profile | Resources

My DNA has been tested with services provided by Family Tree DNA (FTDNA). Here are the results:

Y-DNA (Paternal Lineage)

Haplogroup: E1b1a8a

Direct lineage ancestors on my paternal side (father, father's father, etc..) are from Africa.

MtDNA (Maternal Lineage)

Haplogroup: L3d

Direct lineage ancestors on my maternal side (mother, mother's mother, etc..) are from Africa.

Population Finder (Part of the Family Finder Test Suite - FTDNA.com)

Based on the current DNA samples that are in the population database, I have been matched to the following.

   83.51 % African: Yoruba

   16.49% European: Finnish, French, Orcadian (Orkney Islands), Russian

The Family finder test provides a percentage of a person's ancestral makeup (Native-American, Middle Eastern, African, West and East European) and can match family up to six generations (across all lineages). Results can confidently place connections to populations as far back as 1,000 years...learn more.

The population percentages are obtained by comparing the test subjects to the Family Tree DNA World population database, which uses samples from scientific studies (not customer samples). As this database is updated the test subjects' population percentages will adjust.
