A DNA test whose results were displayed on the show Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (2017) stated that Janet’s genetic ancestry is:
*42.8% African
*27.9% European
——–*7.8% Iberian
——–*6.0% Broadly Northwestern European
——–*3.8% British & Irish
——–*3.6% Broadly Southern European
——–*3.0% Scandinavian
——–*1.9% French & German
*17.6% East Asian & Native American
*10.9% Oceanian
*0.8% No Match
Janet’s patrilineal line can be traced to Henry Mock, who was born, c. 1847, in Louisiana or Georgia, and to his wife, Lucinda Ward.
Janet’s paternal grandfather was Charlie Mock, Jr. (the son of Charlie Mock and Veader Nelson). Janet’s grandfather Charlie was born in Louisiana. Janet’s great-grandfather Charlie was the son of Harold Mock and Vannie Kay or King.
Janet’s paternal grandmother was Shellie Jean Gipson (the daughter of Samual Gipson and Lela Mae Sanders-Scott). Shellie was born in Louisiana. Samual was the son of Samual Gibson and Fanny Fortune Drumgoole.
Janet’s maternal grandfather was Arthur Amorin Barrett (the son of Howard Roscoe Barrett and Emily/Amalia Amorin). Arthur was born in Honolulu. Howard was the son of Parnoble N. Barrett and Mary Alice Leachman. Emily was of Portuguese descent, and was the daughter of John DeMedeiros/de Medeiros Amorin and Antonia de Jesus de Freitas.
Janet’s maternal grandmother was Pearl Lawae Kahanoai (the daughter of David Kahanoai and Winifred “Winnie” Pomakai/Pomaikai). Pearl was born in Honolulu, of Hawaiian descent. David was born in Kau, the son of Abraham Kahanoai and Theresa. Winifred was the daughter of Michael Pomakai/Pomaikai and Kaili Lawai; Kaili was the daughter of Keaho Lawai and Kamawae.
She looks 100% black.
I wonder do they re-test or say update their dna test like ancestry does
I think her Native Hawaian grandmother’s ancestry is contained in the *17.6% East Asian & Native American and *10.9% Oceanian, but an additional 2.5% East Asian is from her African-American side.
However don’t trust too much in these tests. For example to put “French&German” in the same category is messy, because average French person differs from a German one.
The funny thing is for me , I already had the French, they added the Germany plus Norwegian . Like I didn’t already have enough European ancestry
You don’t have to be pissed off because you have a lot of European ancestry, you are not black, after all. You are mixed-race, nothing wrong with that. Deal with it.
About the “Norwegian” thing, I don’t know what exactly it means, because immigrants from Norway are relatively recent, but people from parts of Northern Europe may genetically score “Norwegian”
Take Vanessa Williams’ DNA test, which has weird results on her European side. There is a lot of stuff in that is not historically backed. Unless we are not aware about a Finnish/African-American kinship (also there is Southern Euro well above average)
And about the Sub-Saharan tested DNA, there are alwais references to countries which did not exist back then. It’s pretty weird too.

First off Shut-up. I am same black man I was before I took the dumb test

In Louisiana all types of Europeans came after the Creole women including Norwegian men pass through , Russian, Irish , etc.places like Storyville. foreigner really flooded into that area.They did their sex thing and then shipped out. I also have Irish and Scottish ancestry, so maybe I got Norwegian that way. Also Finnish showed up in mine and my siblings, so something was going on.

Well yes, none of them really existed. Alot of these people have been shuffled around, and these fake boundaries have been put in place. For a black person over here, We have to take a different test to find out who we really come from. Although there’s another problem with that. Simply because we’re mixed with so many different groups on the avg. I have ancestry coming from all over the place.
This is a pretty go one, tricked me .
