It's so touching to see you reacting to the ethnicity report, quite a sacred moment. It looked like your heart was swelling with happiness. I hope you can explore the lives of your ancestors and celebrate their powerful stories that make you who you are.
@@AnAdorableWombat Creole is not just French. French is French . You don’t know what you’re talking about and you don’t even know your own history . Stop denying your heritage and look up the truth and history. European Ancestry is a part of Creole too. Just because French dosent come up means nothing. As long as it says European then boom. She said moms Creole she didn’t lie. Speaking French does it mean your French. France is apart of Europe in same region. Dna may not have pin pointed it exactly. But European is apart of Creole Ansestry
@@crash1364 it was thousands of English men living in Louisiana and amongst the creole community. There was settlers of English stock migrating towards not only Louisiana but Missouri Minnesota all the way up to Canada. Why? Because France owned that land. Them Englishmen eventually settled mixed into the creole population. I thought that was funny too what the comment up above was saying.
Creole is a CULTURE/LANGUAGE that African Enslaved People of French.Portuguese.Spanish captives made into their own Culture. Has nothing to do with Race..ALL CREOLE IS SPOKE WITH THE AFRICAN DIALECT words are changed pronounced differently but like I said…nothing to do with race
@@AnAdorableWombat But creoles are mixed exactly with white french and African but a lot of creoles look more white passing then African so they are mixed people nothing is wrong with that!
Yes, I wish I could have done that with my grandparents both my grandmothers passed away around a decade ago and one grandfather passed before I was born my other grandfather passed away in 2019 and never got the chance to get him to do the test...
Your dna surprised you as much as mine surprised me.. I found that I was just a little over half English, then I have Scot & Irish, Welsh, Norway, and my Congo like yours.. I didn't know about the Scot, Welsh, Norway or the Congo and didn't expect so much from England at all. I do get a great tan after all 😁 Also I have wondered about African American which I got confirmed .. Because of my nose 😉 and my grandmas, even my Philippine friend had pointed it out yrs before saying it was an African American nose and a GF from Africa told me that okra came from Africa when did my family start eating it she asked? I didn't know, our family has always grown it in our garden.. Small hints in our lives.. Now I want to know more..
I’m excited bc you are excited…and I assumed if anything Iberian or French since you’re mom is creole for anything European… also I love your scarf & hair
At 4.15 you firmly denied you were "mixed", but you had spent a few minutes prior to that detailing that you thought you had African ancestors, and a mixture of French, Spanish and native American ancestors. It would be interesting to know how you define "mixed:.
Most Africa American say native American cause they don't want to say white for obvious reasons. You have most of what my Husband as his on he's Daddy side of the family he is jamaican.
I know this video is old but it's interesting that you're 90% african!! I'm 87% so I'm close... but people thought I would only be half african. We have almost the exact same results..chile we prolly related, " hey cousin "😂😂😂
I’m surprised they didn’t give you the Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi African American marker. . My test is similar to yours but I have more Nigerian, and my folks are from the Tennessee and Mississippi area. They had native ancestry too, but I’m skeptical of this testing to an extent because they are leaving out other data. Thank you for sharing. Your family is lovely!
@@reneeneymie They deliberately don’t gather & add dna samples from Native American Tribes of the Eastcoast into their databases. That’s why so many black Americans show little to no Native American dna percentile.
As far as the communities results.. there’s a change .org petition now about how ancestry is covering up indigenous ancestry by labeling communities under the African American title. Some of these communities of the south are well known Native American areas. Such as the Peedee Community. Which was a tribe that was allegedly wiped out. Another lie that colonizers tell. Many of these extinct tribes have no history of being wiped out via war, disease, or famine. Which only leaves reclassification/paper genocide as the corruption done.
@@MonaedeezyWe’ve all descended from Africa, and was split up and took all over as slaves. Know your history going back to the 1800s, where it was called “African slavery” I have 5% Scottish in me, and I’m pissed. Scottish came to Jamaica, after the Spanish brung us there. But that’s where my lineage is. It’s crazy.
You're lucky--I wanted to descend from Canaan. I think Native American descends from Canaan. I wanted Mexican but I'm pleased with my results. I used Ancestry to get my ethnicity too (Princess Tutu for Super Smash Bros.!)
you could still have ancestors from the Iberian Peninsula as the test only shows the genetic markers you have inherited as you get a random 50% from both your parents not every marker from the ancestral line is past on. the best way to get a more accurate overall view is to get multiple family member including your mother and farther to take a test from the same company so you can compare to get a broader look at your ancestral line
The disappoint in the voice makes me sad. Be Proud. Disappointment that she has " English " in her. That seems like judgment of races. We are all mutts.
She was definitely disappointed in her "white" component. She said it was cool but the face said something else. Why one background would be better than another I don't know. Perhaps she could explain.
Creole is not really a mixture of Spanish french and African. In the historical sense the word creole was a term given to the offspring of white French settlers in the Caribbean and the Americas. It later "evolved" in to a term to describe the food and culture of those of African descent in the Western hemisphere, especially in the Caribbean and some parts of the American south.
@@mistyred403 No, that is not correct. I studied history, specifically Caribbean history as a person from this region. Creole was the term given to the children born to French parents in the Caribbean.
@@soniaskinner9987 I have Studied also and yes I have seen that too along with african born in Brazil. French Spanish Portugues born in The USA. I read your statement wrong at first but I also added extra. Yes you are right referred to French born Also in the US. From my perspective of refering to how it was referenced to Africans born outside of Africa and the culture it represents now.
They have just lumped much of africa together. Slave trade was in west africa so it's safe to say that's where her ancestors came from plus mixed with european blood. I don't know why english/irish or scottish would be a surprise as many of them moved to America
So do you think the European part was from just one ancestor and is it recent or old. I've been look g a lot into DNA testo g and it's very interesting. My brother married a girl that is half Japanese and we are very white. 2 of his kids looks totally Japanese and one is very pasty white, like he only got the white part of his mom instead of the Asian part. I wonder if that means his kids can't look Asian or can he still pass that DNA on even if it doesn't show in him. I was guessing g tiu had some Indian from India in you. You are very pretty, thanks for sharing
@@dawne5139 yes many do have light skin. My sister in law actually looks more Hawaiian. My brother is very fair but 2 if his kids are dark and one is extremely pasty lol. My own kids don't look like siblings, my son got my husband's darker complexion, he is part Jewish and native American and European. My daughter is blond haired and blue eyes and most people think my son is Hispanic
Let's just say you can pass for several straight up 'Black' African ethnicities In Africa; since quite a few of those folks have lighter skintones............
Lady get real. The Senegalese are great beauties, but this young lady dies not look like them. Are they not known for being very tall and very, very Black along with certain facial features? We also know that different DNA tests reveal different results. In addition, they don't give a real depiction of indigenous American ancestry because not much of it exists in the database.
@@sandraatkins2539 not all Senegalese are dark skinned my mom and my sisters are really the same skin tone as her and we haven’t mixed with any European.
We shouldn't be surprised because many of us are aborigines and are indigenous to the America's. We're not western plains Indians who are mostly of Northern Chinese/Mongolian heritage, while most of our indigenous ancestors are Amerindians (Island seafaring people's) who arrived into the America's not be land, but by sea.
Big deal your are mostly African with a small speck of European. If your dad is from Tennessee there were lots of brits who settled in that area. Likely one of those ancestors was English/european. It is interesting that you do show some American indian,too. I don't see you hyperventilating about that.
Before I looked at this screen I just glanced at it and I stopped and I turned it on I said that girl's from my bloodline I bet and sure enough you are from my bloodline every part of it and we are from Queen Victoria her family my grandmother used to still get family reunions notices from there from the house of Windsor you probably are one of her daughter's children.... That is so amazing how you can recognize your family from a picture I knew it I knew it yes and we are from India we are asiatics.... They say Queen Victoria was messing with a man from India... I don't know where the rest of the story is but I would love to find out cuz I am nosy when it comes to this but she had a lot of secrets she was Moore and all of our last names is more watch Queen Victoria movie it gives you hints 😘😘 nice to meet you cousin
I am Caucasian, no African ethnicity at all, but I do have a number of variously distant black cousins, the closest of which is a 4th cousin, female. I have determined that she and I share a white male ancestor in Virginia, (specifically northern Virginia), and I managed to identify two Caucasian male candidates, (one being more likely than the other), and both of them are pre-Civil War. As it pertains to my other variously distant black cousins with whom I share less DNA, it appears the ancestor(s) we share would have been late 18th century to early 19th century, Caucasian, and again Virginia.
As an aide ---- There is also the "it takes two to Tango" element.... We can't make blanket statements regarding rape with no facts to support this or that case. There is an abiding assumption today that all of these cross-racial dalliances were rapes, and personally I don't buy it. Certainly, that long ago, these dalliances occurred out of wedlock, but that doesn't necessarily mean that, by definition, they were all rapes and that there wasn't some degree of mutual attraction going on. ... Jefferson and Sally Hemings is a case in point. He was stone in love with her, and she with him, but the customs and norms of society at that time kept them apart openly.
White people are the same way. Like ya we know we are European but from where exactly.. being American is confusing cuz none of us are really from here unless you’re Native American lol I get my results in a few weeks, I always get asked what I am. And yes you look Hispanic mix you’re beautiful no matter what.
Your people are descendants of Ham and originally from Mesopotamia which is modern day Iraq. People went to what later became known as Africa. If you are not dark brown you are more than likely mixed.
Not surprising there's English etc in you, since British peoples migrated to the US so not really surprising to me... I gotta also add, with you not having Spanish that could be that your mum or grandmother either has too low a percentage of Spanish DNA to have passed down, or ancestors weren't Spanish but lived there... I been doing my family tree since I was a teen so nothing surprises me with this sort of stuff 😅... Irish and Scottish weren't known to mix together, yet I have Irish and Scottish ancestors who got together and moved here to Australia... I done the Ancestry DNA last month, I just have to wait for my results...
I'm very suprised at the reaction do they not teach some form of history in school. America wasn't to world leader back then. But much blessings to you on your journey.
