I stand corrected. I was under the impression that the people of the Bight of Biafra were Yoruba. I know that a lot of us were Igbo, but I thought the bulk of us were Yoruba. I need to do a search and look at this. Thank for the info, though. I try not to say shit I don't know about, but today, I realize I didn't know that very well.Where Did Slaves In The United States Originate From?

I get you posted this but it doesn't mean it's accurate. I believe a lot of guess work was involved. These DNA test sites should release that info. The vast majority I believe comes from Nigeria area and also the Congo area.Where Did Slaves In The United States Originate From?
