All I can say at this point, and not to imply it is impossible to get a link to a specific group(s), but that caution is warranted when looking at results announced by these DNA sequencing private businesses.

I don't think you can exclude or include Fulani blood from black Americans.

At the same time, African Americans care little to nothing of African heritages and traditions.
