A portion of my DNA is from the Iberian Peninsula and then an even smaller portion(very small) is North African. Knowing about Charlemagne driving out the Black Muslims in Spain at the time and knowing the ethnic group makes me suspect I have Fulani blood since they were the Muslims at the time around that region. That was their ethnicity so to speak but their behavior was that of nomads, they were known as the Berber. The Berbers are still around today to my knowledge.
