You have discovered that you have 6% Nigerian ethnicity in your DNA or maybe a friend or client has asked about this. What does this mean? Who is this missing link and how do you find this ancestor? Many people have discovered that they have a percentage of African in their genetic makeup. So what next? How do you begin to find your Nigerian ancestor? What do you need to know about Africa, Nigeria, and Nigerian people? What part of Nigeria did your ancestor come from? In this session, as a black British-Nigerian person, I will show you how to start, focus and streamline your search, providing you with important facts and useful tips and resources to help you find your unknown ancestor and possibly, an extended family.

Great information, learned quite a bit and will be able to pass it forward.
Had to leave before it began,hope to be able to see the recording
I am thankful for the info Ms. Abiola provided and can hardly wait to start researching!
I arrived late but from what I heard the lecturer was knowledgeable about the topic. Will watch the full broadcast later.
I don’t have Nigerian ancestry but I learned a lot from the maps showing the partition of the African continent and routes taken by the diaspora.
I have no African DNA reported but this was very interesting and I learned a lot.
I knew nothing about Nigerian genealogy – great introduction. I also found the naming patterns especially interesting.
I’m sorry I missed the beginning, but I will listen back. She definitely has an infectious enthusiasm and interesting cultural knowledge. I would have liked a more nuanced understanding of when 2% means something and when it doesn’t — often when a group is not very well represented in the database, the 2% doesn’t mean anything at all.
interesting.
It gave me hope about finding those African ancestors
I’ve learned a lot about the lives of the Nigerian country.
Much in information was new to me and so interesting.
Organized, extremely informative and provided much needed information to continue my research. Thank you Marian for asking the important questions.

Very interesting on a country I knew nothing about, even though my DNA says I’m 1.1% Nigerian. Learned so much and enjoyed the presentation very much!

Very interesting.
Very interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed the webinar.
Very, very interesting and so well presented.
We need more of similar topics, e.g. linking to African ancestors.
What a great presenter! I have no African ethnicity but always enjoy listening and learning. It broadens my knowledge of the world and people as well as giving me ideas on improving my own research techniques. Look forward to more webinars by her.
Wonderful presentation on a not-so-widely covered topic! I look forward to seeing more webinars about genealogy on the African continent. Thank you.
Wonderful presentation
Yetunde was an EXCELLENT presenter. She shared some of the histories of Africa/Nigeria. She included her specific tribe and openly shared much information so she could help the audience understand how to better research their Nigerian/African heritage. I will be watching this one again so that I’m sure I gleaned all of the information she discussed!! This webinar has shown me how to continue my research into my family’s background and ethnicity. Thank you, Yetunde! You did a WONDERFULLY PHENOMENAL job!
