You (R-FT194071) and Albert Perry (A-L1100) share a common paternal line ancestor (A-PR2921) who lived around 232,000 BCE (234,000 years ago).
Albert Perry was born into slavery in South Carolina sometime around 1820. In 2012, one of his great-grandsons took a Y-DNA test, which led to the discovery of the most divergent Y-DNA lineage known today, haplogroup A00. This lineage would later be traced to Cameroon.
The Perry family in the USA and the distant cousins in Cameroon all descend from a single ancestor who lived just over 1,000 years ago, but they are the most distant paternal line relatives of almost everyone in the world today.
Shown here is a photo of Albert’s son, Clyde Perry, born in 1867, grandfather of the first A00 tester.
