While it is a joy to see the Diaspora reconnect with continental roots, DNA testing for ancestry is kind of deceptive. It can only trace two lines: mother's mother's mother (mitochondrial), or father's father's father (Y-chromosome). Too often we end up in Europe due to widespread rape, or ignoring thousands of Great grandparents. It's just pattern proximity.
Still, it's good to see people excited about reconnecting to Africa. Just go inside and seek your ancestors, the way they did it.
