No matter the amount, these are what different sources say:

23andme:
"West African" which includes actual West Africans plus Central, South, and East African Bantus. Neither me nor my mother scores any Central/South African (Pygmy, Khoisan).

FTDNA:
"West African" which spans from Senegal down through Central Africa, ending in South Africa. DOES NOT include East African Bantus.

WeGene:
Gives my mother a mixture of Mbuti (Congo Pygmy) and South African Bantu, but no Yoruba (West Africa stand in).

Doug McDonald:
"The following are possible population sets and their fractions,
most likely at the top
Italian= 0.984 Mandenka= 0.016 --> Senegambia
Italian= 0.984 Yoruba= 0.016 --> Nigeria
Italian= 0.984 Bantu Ke= 0.016 --> Kenya
Italian= 0.985 Bantu So= 0.015 --> South Africa
Italian= 0.976 Ethiopia= 0.024
Italian= 0.970 Ethiopia= 0.030
Italian= 0.971 Ethiopia= 0.029
Italian= 0.981 Maasai= 0.019
Italian= 0.987 Biaka Py= 0.013 --> Congo Pygmy
Italian= 0.990 Mbuti Py= 0.010 --> Congo Pygmy


DNATribes:
Gives my mother Khoisan from Namibia and South African Bantu, but no West African.

GPSOrigins:
Gives both me and my mother Senegambia.

Ghana, most likely - for any European or American with SSA markers.

Are you basing that off my results summary above? Based on what I put above, what do you think?
