I have heard about the thing that oprah did about finding her roots, and I know that they are just matching genetics with similar ones around the world. But does it actually work if you were to do it? Cuz, I am Latino (Mestizo: Spanish and Indigenous) and I wana know what tribes my ancestors might have come from.

Of course it is. It is used world wide and is scientifically proven. If it was not true then it wouldn’t be recognized internationally.

Yeah, it’s typically through mitochondrial DNA, which normally traces better through matrimonial line. It’s also been pretty good for whatever reason for tracking down a general geography where someone’s ancestry is from. I think because there is a known rate of change in certain genes, and they tend to change mostly as generations of people move.

Yes, although it’s pretty poor at identfying the tribal origin of most black Americans. You’ll usually just get an area of origin, not a tribe.
DNAwitness will give a cheap but reasonably accurate breakdown of your ancestry by race.

It almost certainly won’t give you the native Americans tribe you are related too. I don’t know any tests that do.

It do; you can; and, good luck.

Save your money. I saw a thing on tv the other day where a couple of people had it done. the dna place told them all they came out of africa, and spread across europe. Basically it was the out of africa theory with a few variations depending on what the nationality of the people were. Give me 1,000 dollars, I’ll tell you you came of africa, too.

Yes but there has to be a data base to compare it to.
