“Somalids or whatever you want to call it, but it was E1b1b1 (V13) that was in Europe for atleast 5000 years”

You have to understand the affinity between Somalis & Balkan people is very close, even closer than that between Somalis & Berber!

E1b1b1-M35 is the Meditid race
It branches into 3 subraces:
E1b1b1a-M78 Hamitid
E1b1b1b-M81 Berberid
E1b1b1c-M123 Sarawatid

E1b1b1a-M78 Hamitid race includes Somalis who beling to the E1b1b1a1-V12 Cushid group of the Hamitid subrace, while E1b1b1a2-V13 is the Blakanid grouping of the Hamitid subrace

The whole concept of the Somalid race is an attempt to divide us.

We are all Blacks, Somalids (E1b1b) are also Black. Don’t fall for YTs poison

Wright brothers were Somalids or whatever you want to call it, but it was E1b1b1 (V13) that was in Europe for atleast 5000 years

I saw a study done on the wright brothers & it classfied them as genetic Somalids.

It shows their origin going to Britain, most likely Roman soldiers from Greece & their ultimate origin of their DNA in East Africa

Hello Blaine

Thanks for the encouragement regarding my family roots. I plan to really look into my family background in the very near future. I think our past really helps us to understand our future and
the choices we have made in the past.

My family as it relates to the ancestry ties to the Wright brothers is very interesting. I have Pictures of my grandmother in Canada as a young girl and of her father the first cousin of the Wright brothers. He was a well known figure and even a minster in his day. I think the stories I was told about this forbidden child my grandmother would tell a most interesting story someday. Unfortunately, all of the main players have passed, but the facts are still a strong memory in my mind.

Tyra,

Sounds like a very diverse genetic background as well as a great genealogical challenge. After you’ve done some preliminary genealogical research, you might want to explore your genetic genealogy options, such as Y-DNA or mtDNA. Good luck in your pursuit!

I found your special to be of most interest, but My family has known Native and canadian ancestry. On my father side of the family his grandfather the first cousin of the wright brothers. My dads grandmother was of white (her dad and mom only known pure african in our family) escaped to Canada during the civil war. father mom was Irish, Indian an African. (looked Italian). My moms mother’s people mom’s side her grandmother was Irish/cherokee Indian. Her father was Blackfoot Indian and his mom white, and his father of African and white ancestory. While I found your note of the Indian ancestory interesting. We have always talked about the blood the runs in our family and with the people before they passed.

Dana – Although there was no DNA, I thought it was a great episode. And I think the show (as you stated) made a great point of which many people are unaware – sometimes the ‘genealogy’ aspect of ‘genetic genealogy’ can have just as much impact as the ‘genetic’ aspect. People (genealogists, specifically) have been dealing with the psychological impact of learning about the lives and decisions that make us who we are today – perhaps that is why we are so willing to make the leap to genetic technology.

So what did you think? I watched last night and one moment stood out to me. When HLG was telling Chris Rock about the accomplishments of one of his ancestors who upon being freed, fought in the civil war, ran for public office and won, among other amazing things. Chris Rock explained how he felt like if he had had this information earlier he would have conceived of himself and his opportunities differently – that he had more options and choices than he pictured. I thought it was a great example of the psychological impact genealogy can have an a person..
