I know less than most people about dna, lol, but the 2% Nigerian rings a bell. I remember reading a post somewhere from someone who was baffled about a 2% native american dna which had shown up. The answer was that he merely SHARED that 2% dna with a smallgroup of native americans and that the common ancestor was much further back and not necessarily native american.

Of course, you could be right and slavery could have been involved somewhere. I am dealing with that very thing at the moment, although in my case, the slave involved was given her freedom and property and her son was acknowledged by his father. We cannot change the past as muchas we would care to.
