These Are My People (Updated Version)

The folks at AncestryDNA just sent me this information. I was told, while growing up, that I was part Cherokee, on my father’s side, but that is apparently not the case. My mother’s map has nothing from Africa, so I can logically deduce that my recent African ancestors are on my father’s side. Of course, if you go back even further, we’re all Africans, since that is where human beings first evolved.
