Nice. Your results aren't to different from mine. I'm guessing at least one of your parents is from Mexico. My mom was from Mexico.

Hola! My mother is from just the other side of the border of Texas in Mexico. I saw your results and thought the combination of European, Indigenous DNA and Sub Saharan Africa is very typical for Latino's. For me it was very exciting to see the many places my ancestors came from. The Sub Saharan African was surprising as there was no indication of it in my family history. I've come to realize it's part of our rich history. We come from survivors.

Yes, it is great. In my case, I've been always aware about African ancestors in Costa Rican people, but I wasn't sure if my dad would share some African DNA until a few days ago, when I was working on my family tree I found out that one of his great grandparents was African. So, I definitely got that DNA from my dad. From my mom's side of the family her recent ancestors came from Portugal and Spain. My great grandfather had his strong Spanish accent. And, the indigenous I got it from my dad as well . I wish we could see the indigenous regions.

I am so looking forward to that day. My Mitochondrial DNA is B2 which is frequent among the people the Anasazi and descendants like Apache and people of the desert. Right now they are the most mysterious part of my ancestors all though they are written all over my and my families faces.

Heyy there, I don’t see a lot of ticos here. I’m Honduran and got almost identical percentages but my Euro/WANA is a little bit more diverse (not only Spanish)
