Testimonials

The Nyansapow Difference

The biggest discovery was finding African American cousins and cousins in the wider diaspora. Growing up in Ghana, slavery felt like someone else’s story—until DNA testing revealed that our own family had loved ones taken. Connecting with our transatlantic cousins has been deeply emotional and eye-opening. Through the Nyansapow service, I’ve been able to navigate these discoveries without getting lost in the details. Adwoa handles the legwork, making it easy to focus on the joy of finding family. I cannot wait for the Transatlantic Genealogy Summit—to meet, learn, and reconnect across generations.

Ekua

(Ghanaian spanDNA Families Founding Nucleus Cousin)

Connecting with Adwoa has had a profound impact on me—it represents a miraculous opportunity to reunite with family members in Africa who have been searching for us. This work restores blood connections veiled by time and distance, proving that we are valued, loved, and never forgotten.

Cynthia

(African American spanDNA Families Transatlantic Cousin)

Taking a DNA test was more than curiosity—it was about filling in the missing pieces of my family story. I never knew my grandfather, and my father rarely spoke of him. But through DNA, I’m uncovering lost connections, learning where I come from, and realizing just how small the world truly is.

Thomas

(Ghanaian spanDNA Families Transatlantic Cousin)

At first, I was hesitant to take a DNA test. I thought, ‘What more do I need to know about myself?’ But after learning how it could help not just me, but others searching for their roots, I realized the value of it. Through this Nyansapow journey, I’ve discovered a larger family I never knew I had—across Europe, the U.S., the Caribbean, and Canada. It’s been eye-opening to see how far our roots extend beyond Ghana.

The SpanDNA Families Summit is more than a family reunion—it’s a homecoming. It’s about reconnecting the pieces of our shared history, bridging the gap between Africa and the diaspora, and ensuring future generations know who they are and where they come from. I can’t wait to meet my newfound relatives in Atlanta and continue this journey of discovery!
