Join me on my journey as I search for my late father’s biological family, discover more about my previously unknown Jewish heritage, learn about DNA testing, reflect upon my Evangelical Christian upbringing (currently agnostic) and share the people, places and things that I love from the City of Brotherly Love to the City of Angels!

About Me…

I just sent in my test kit less than a month ago. The email I've been getting from 23&Me now makes it seem like I won't get to see my results until I subscribe to their yearly subscription. So far I haven't clicked that button, and I'm confused about whether I'll actually get to see my results without subscribing to a yearly plan or not. Right now it doesn't look like it, and that, to me, is a ripoff.
The American population has 40% is Jewish of some type. The Christian population in the last 20 years have been declining. Wikipedia always lies. They are mostly in the large cities. Mr Grimes look 70% Jewish from watching many of his video. It is sad to say many women who do not know they have Ashkenazi blood in them, will be fighting against many diseases and cancers.
My family is descended from MacLaughlins and Grimes,from St Kitts. In Brooklyn,my African family,also from St. Kitts, joined with them. We have a wonderful Afro/Scott Clan of our own. 🙂 I'm a descendant of MacLaughlin clan chiefs.
It would be slavery. The Arabs and Jews made their fortune in slavery. Many black in America have Jewish blood in them. Because many of the slave owner in America from 1500-1800 we’re mostly Jewish. When international slavery reached Japan in 1300s. many Asian were enslaved by wealthy Jewish merchants from Europe who reap the women. The Dutch kidnapped and enslaved Japanese women and children, sold them to India, European, and Korean during the 1400s …. Research the history on slavery…40% of Americans have Jewish blood in them
100% European. No ties to the land of the Middle East. I thought you guys turned white due to mixing turns out you have no ties to the Middle East. Or should I say north west Africa.
The Indigenous North Africans were Black, prior to the Southern Europeans and Arabs mixing with the indigenous population. There were also Black ppl and other people of color in Western Asia. Do you know your maternal Haplogroup?
I did both looking for an unknown biological father. One first cousin matched up on each site. and they knew each other at the nexus of two large families. The family tree on Ancestry provided a good deal of information. The haploid information included by 23 and Me may serve to rule out one family or the other. I am 82 so all the potential fathers are dead, but there is one male cousin in my generation.
If I knew 23andme took 3 months to cansle my test and then send a new in 2 days. Funny it takes two months to ship the test from Scandinavia to Holland and when it araves in Holand it would be safe. 3 weeks later it disapeard between Holland and the US. And it was 23andme who was to blame. So now before I get the result I have to spend ½ a year if they don't loos it atain ot it will not pass QC. Then it will be one year. DON'T EVER BY A 23andme TEST
The biggest issue with these tests is that very few people really know what they are looking at when they get their results. Tests can provide recent ancestry but they can also provide deep ancestry, so deep that it proceeds the invention of the nation state by thousands of years. Many people of northern Euro extraction will be surprised to find Greek, Sardinian, Italian and Spanish ancestry- typically about 5-8%. This doesn’t mean you have any of this ancestry but rather that your ancestors lived in southern refuges during the last Ice Age, that, 9000 years, would become these areas. Trace amounts (2% or less) means literally zero… and yes, these results will change constantly because the database is constantly updated. These databases are also heavily skewed because the ethnic determinations are based entirely on who is participating.
I don't think trace amounts means zero. I'm African American with distant Scottish ancestry, about 1%, but I have cousin matches in Scotland. And believe me, it takes time to comprehend all of that. I've even found a "9 th" cousin match that turned out to be my 3rd cousin, who is African American with 12% Scottish ancestry, from the same side as where my Scottish heritage is coming from. So I wouldn't call it nothing or noise, that's why you have to do your genealogical research, because if you don't, you'll miss alot of things you think are zero when they could actually be something alot more than you think.
@@aleqrobinson2876 - 9th cousin is a connection that shares almost 8000 direct ancestors. It’s so diluted as to be non-consequential. My gg grandmother is Punjabi and I show up as 4% of that ethnicity, my kids at 2% and my grandchildren at 1%. By the time the grandkids have kids, unless someone also marries a Punjabi, it’s just trace amounts- essentially it’s bred out of us. It IS fun though, I will definitely agree with that.
I appreciate you explaining this because I actually just learned about this process but not any details on navigation. You’re very clear and helpful! Thanks to you from a very non tech person!!
The goal of this tests is not to give you an exact percentage with 100% confidence level, that most likely will never be posible, instead you have a clear picture of what are is mostly your genetic heritage and in that regard it is very useful. Consider that even within most countries the population is not genetically similar, i.e. in Italy or Spain there's a great variety of ethnicities or "races" and in Europe or America migrations of people have been coming and going for thousands of years.
So the evidence shows no linkage to the state of Isreal...... And that, ladies and gentlemen, is further proof, if any is needed, that the small hats are invaders and colonisers to the land of Palestine. Which is also why the state of Israel makes DNA testing by small hats a criminal offence. SMDH.
Modern days jews must urgently repent because Jacob’s trouble is exclusively for the unrepentant Jacob’s offsprings. Psalm 79:1 O God, the nations have invaded [the land of Your people] Your inheritance; They have defiled Your sacred temple; They have laid Jerusalem in ruins. Luke 21:24 CEV Some of them will be killed by swords. Others will be carried off to foreign countries. Jerusalem will be overrun by foreign nations until their(gentiles) time comes to an end. (fulfilled/ completed).
I have taken ancestry and 23andMe DNA tests because I am an orphan my parents had passed when I was young, and my father was adopted and I've never known where he had come from his whole life he never knew anything about where he had come from so I had taken these tests and I am still in the dark I still have yet to find a single soul on my father's side I may have found someone on my mother's I'm just waiting for a response back I have been waiting for this my entire life I believe and I pray that I will find my place in life one day and that's why I need a DNA one day I hope to fulfill my father's dream and know who his family is and know where he came from because he didn't know now that I have genetic generalized epilepsy my search has gone deeper, thank you for your videos its helped me so much right now, send love and light your way from Alberta Canada ✌️ 💛 🇨🇦 🕯️
Great video. If an experiment does not yield similar results, then there is no scientific value. Therefore, these tests are a scam and can put you at risk of having your information stolen
Don't be mad about the Mayan part cause they where the second wave of people of Mexico after the Olmecs the Mayans where all over Mexico way before the Aztecs they where in Mexico 1200 years ago the Olmecs 1400 years ago Aztecs only 300 years
It's taken me almost 2 yrs to be able to watch these videos. My Dad passed Oct 6, 2021. Your family's tribute to your father is beautiful. This hits home so hard... I'm a P.K. My family moved 12 times by the time I was 16. Brother thank you for this video. Let your light shine.
I've downloaded my raw data from 23&me but for whatever reason I cannot load it onto my heritage. I'm so bummed. I cannot figure out why it won't let me.
