Vanessa Williams aired an episode of Who Do You Think You Are several years ago, and according to Ancestry.com, the actress has interesting DNA.

“My DNA breaks down as follows,” she said. “I’m 23% from Ghana, 17% from the British Isles, 15% from Cameroon, 12% Finnish, 11% Southern European, 7% Togo, 6% Benin, 5% Senegal and 4% Portuguese.”

She continued, “The first person I called was my mother, and I sent her my results and copied all my kids so they know where half of their genetic makeup is from. I wish that my father was still alive, because he was a huge history buff and interested in genealogy as well. It allows a greater sense of history for the family and a bit of pride as well.”
