3 generations of DNA! In this video you will meet my oldest and youngest daughters and my first born granddaughter. We’ll share our DNA results, what shocked us, and what it means to us.
Update: My 0.3% Trace DNA is Indigenous American. This was so much fun. Finding out where my people have been on this planet gives me an indescribable amount of joy. Finding new relations is the bonus.
You looked faintly Middle Eastern to me when I first set eyes on you. The Israeli notation is odd as the country was established only in 1948. It appears to me that the co. was trying to skirt using the word “Palestinian” for political reasons - but by bending over to be PC they’ve made a mistake as the Jewish people and the Arabs will have some similarities but overall are literally from distinctly different tribes. But who knows? Maybe one of your ancestors centuries ago was a Jew who married or coupled with an Arab or vice versa, and your ancestor gave birth to one of your descendants, which made you a mini combo ;-) The takeover of southern Spain by the Moors, as you mentioned, does seem to make sense. Interesting though that this wasn’t passed along at all to the girls… And that their DNA reflects Inuit is fascinating as this would go back several thousand years!
This is another example of why it makes no sense that we discriminate against people for perceived differences in “race” or national origin. Most of us are combinations of many different peoples and none of us has any control over our ancestry!
Racism started with WP. We never treated anyone bad because of what they looked like. That amount of hate is just not in us, we are truly The Most High's people.
@@freer1176 I guess I shouldn’t have deleted all of the horrible, racist, ugly, and vile comments that I had to delete from BP. You wouldn’t believe the stuff our people say. 😢💚
@@freer1176 never been to Africa have you? No one person started racism. Africans are tribalistic. Asians are somewhat tribalistic/cultural-istic. Indians are tribalistic. Europeans don’t even like each other. So saying white people started it is weird af. They were taken as slaves too so did Africans an Middle Easterners start racism? But the Viking took other Europeans as slaves so did the Vikings start slavery? Get a grip lad.
I'm from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. I took the Ancestry DNA test last year. The biggest percentage was Nigerian. We also consider ourselves mixed from Africa, Tainos and Spaniards. Interesting data yall!
Boricua hispanic india n black iam... We puerto rican have 3 culture you n i the same way is beautyful. My Grand mother was from Barceloneta puerto rico she was black n afro hair. My other from utuado was india my Grand father tall white like the spain peoplen. I know how to play the african drum.. God bles. Yo naci en la America me crie en puerto rico mi padres son de puerto rico .
Yet if you're a dark skin person that speaks Spanish instantly Puerto Ricans will go and say are you Dominican Panamanian Honduran and if you say no I got Puerto Rican ancestry or I'm Puerto Rican then they instantly say with your people from Louisa no m*********** my peoples from San Juan Aguadilla and Ponce
My sister just became a published author of our family history. She has been researching for the last 20yrs and at the end of it all she went back as far as the year 800 which locked our genes to the Tribe of Levi in the bible. She has traveled all over the world to each country that led to her finishing the book with so many proven documents and pictures of history. Her book will be on sale sometime in Dec 2022, this book teaches on how to research and find your ancestry. I can't wait to read the book, ancestry knowledge is so important and exciting. Thank you for sharing it was very interesting to hear your story.
Your sister locked her genes to the tribe of Levi in the Bible? That's not possible. DNA scientists don't have samples for the Jewish tribe of Levi, since there are no current Jewish population known as such.
A white friend of mine was completely shocked to find out he had 3% Congo in his test. My great grandmother on my father's mother's side was half black, half white and she told everyone, "she was Indian." I did not learn this (big family secret) until I was in my forties. Just goes to show, we put to much emphasis on this. We should just respect each other as "human, and unique."
No American black or white should be shocked to have varied ancestry if there folks were here more than 100, people mixed voluntarily or involuntarily, why most black Americans have 10-25% British /white Gerge Washington type ancestry, by 23&me data,, 10% of US white Americans especially from the south have trace WAfrican /black dna and most white Americans are genetically mixed with multiple ethnicities, so both groups are distinctive, have WEuropean ancestry, but at different percentages. Cuba being part of North America is no different, most 'white' Cubans have 5-30% SSAfrican ancestry, with predominantly WEuro dna, Brazil and even the Dominican Republic people, have largely Euro dna, with partial West African admixture, but one ancestry doesn't cancel the other ancestry,. These young American ladies look like they have a good thumbprint 15-35% -+ British/WEuro dna, they even have trace Native &South Asian(Gypsy) dna.
All Caucasians should research the Dawes Roles before claiming so-called American Indian Ancestry. The further we go back the more wickedness we uncover.
Enjoying the DNA results from around the world. I truly enjoyed watching your interactions with your girls and grand daughter. Brought a big smile to me. They all inherited your beautiful smile. Thanks for sharing your results.
I really enjoyed your story about your DNA and family history. My late father and I have researched our DNA and Genealogy for many years. I'm mostly Swiss-German with some English and Scottish. My ancestors have been in America since before the American Revolutionary War. This is the first time I have watched one of your videos.
What a fabulous grouping of gorgeous and intelligent ladies! I love the generations and the way you all carry yourselves with your own individuality and yet still share a strong family bond!
Super interesting & insightful, especially with 3 generations, the fathers DNA influence and how generationally things can differ. Thank you for sharing with us all, I watched and listened throughout - truly fascinating. Watching from London UK. x
Love this! I think it is important to understand how this works: when it says „Nigeria“ or „Inuit“ it means that the given portion of the TESTED population in that specified area has the same genetic markers as you. This does not mean that your ancestors came from there (although there is a strong possibility). It means that you SHARE the same markers. Groups from another, very distant population could have the same marker. For example, an Irish person may share the same Celtic markers as someone from Western or Northern Spain. In some cases, the algorithm used to allocate markers to groups can mistakenly attribute the ethnicity to the wrong group. This was the case for me and the dna company has sinced updated the reference database accordingly. As the databases and algorithms get better, this will improve somewhat, but there will always be a margin of error. Asians and Native American populations share many markers due to migration across the Bering Strait. The challenge comes in indentifying which population the individual came from.
Interesting hiw we individually pull different amounts of DNA from out parents. Natural sibs can have diffent percentages that just naturally tumble into us !! I mat be a bit more German than a sib . I have Iberian blood , going into the middle east, too . I think thats the Irish lines origin. That's the mitochondrial line . My kids father is African American, with German. We are a fascinating bunch .
Young marriages and old marriages do accept genetic decent . I have cousin who are the childer on my dad brother and mom's first cousin . I'm irish, its kind of our old school village living that at one time made this common . It's uncommon here in America. My dad lived my mom from childhood , he got hit by a truck looking at her as a boy . She had a piece of coal that was a perfect egg , my dad gave it to her on the fire escape , during a fire drill at school . Lost Creek , PA.
Not only that, literally ALL of these people migrated from other regions originally. Especially in the case of African people, more specifically West African. They ALL migrated from East Africa.
Out of curiosity I clicked on your video to learn a little about DNA test results. Infact I learned a lot. Kudos to you and your beautiful family. It will definitely open the mind of humanity to understand how interconnected human beings are and the need to respect one another. The purpose of creating human into tribes is to make it easier to identify one another, not to hate or subjugate or dominate. The big question to everyone is how human are you? We need so much loving world to thrive as humans.
Great video. One point you brought up that is often overlooked is that you will have 1% or less match for ancestry back 8 or more generations. So if something doesn't show up in your test, check an earlier generation. Some companies give an ancestral timeline, which shows you do have something from the 1700s that didn't show up as a percentage.
The pictures at the end was such a nice bonus. Your parents are truly black. I wish we had all of our grand parents pictures. You are so blessed to have them. Thanks for sharing your beautiful girls insight as well. I am looking forward to doing my DNA test as well.
Thank you! My mother was good at keeping family photos and she left them all to me. They are definitely a blessing. Thank you for watching and I hope one day you find lots of family photos yourself. 💚
I have done 3 tests. 2 autosomal tests, 23 & Me and Ancestry, and one Mitochondrial DNA test, African Ancestry. I learned something from all three of them, but the African Ancestry pinpointed my father's line to the Ewe people from Ghana and my Mother's line is from the Igbo people from Nigeria.
From what I read about the history of the igbos in Jamaica for example, they were matching the igbo women with Ghanian men,they say, Ghanaians don't claim their father's side, but their mother's. Probably, the igbo women were many in numbers.
@@nduodiaka-ph9sl patriarchy was a middle eastern system . Why Africa was easily conquered because it's more matriarchal. Of course we know we're mostly African but we have mixes from moors the mixtures of BLK men and their Arab / Jewish concubine,Tainos who are the native Indians of the Caribbean . Then you have various after slavery mixes .Mixes from during transatlantic slavery . Pre explorer genes are generally Italian Portuguese Polynesian Chinese these ppl travelled on boats long before Christopher Columbus and them
Any Black American that gets North Africa and the Middle East most probably got it from Iberian (Spain and Portugal) ancestor. But the percentages are usually not that much, less than 5%.
Hi there again Brown Angel! I enjoyed watching this episode with your daughters and granddaughter and you sharing your DNA results. I have to say that your family's DNA results read like my youngest daughter's and mine from Ancestry. A Christian sister keeps telling me that I'm Hebrew like many Africa Americans. When I was born the original birth certificate label me Colored, smile. I've often gotten asked since my teen years, "Where are you from?" I think off the top of my head, Ancestry found 17 plus ethnicities (hope I am using the correct term here), in my family tree. Thanks for sharing this heartwarming video. Ms. L.
I found this video informative and interesting. It is my first time coming across your channel. Thank you for sharing your DNA results. You, your daughters and granddaughter are all gorgeous. I am white and am trying to become more aware of the black experience in our country. I also do my own family genealogy. Your title caught my attention. Seeing your joyful family is a pleasure. May God bless all of you and bring you a wonderful 2023 with continued smiles and laughter.
I come from half way around the globe -- the Maldives. And even though we say that all Maldivians are Maldivians, we are a mixed bunch (look at us in a world map, consider the Indian Ocean trade routes before air travel, and factor in that we have been inhabited for at least a couple of thousand years). I loved this episode and the message it contains, which I hope that people will take home with them. Lots of love and respect!
Our people are very beautiful and can look many ethnicities. This was very interesting. I appreciate you sharing the experience and giving the companies. I never did this but it would be something amazing to see.
Yes, our people come in all shades, shapes, and sizes. Thank you for watching. I hope you get yours done. It’s a beautiful feeling knowing where your people have been. 💚
Beautiful family i love your energy and your granddaughter is a jewel i can tell yall spoil her i can tell that she is highly respectful and intelligent great job.
I had my beautiful daughter at 16 and it’s hard but it’s so encouraging hearing you talk and not in a negative way... even though it’s hard to take care of a baby, it can be done and done well. God Bless you and your sweet family!
Bless you! I was a part of the wave that started at the beginning of the teen pregnancy “epidemic” in America. The girls who were pregnant the years before me were bussed to special schools for pregnant girls. Me and the five other girls who were pregnant at school were sort of spectacles. It’s not easy raising a child while you’re still growing up yourself. Hopefully you have a reliable, patient, and loving support system. Thankfully the women from my mother’s and grandmother’s generations were still around. They were a huge help. Let your “village” help you. Stay strong and stay blessed. 💚
Ladies you are beautiful and what you are doing is incredible. I would recommend considering taking a Mt-DNA test as this would give you the X line daughter to mother to mother, etc. and can help focus some of your questions for additional research. Alex Haley’s book “Roots” was so impactful to me as a teenager, way back when. Love this so much.❤
This is a great eye opener for your family. I find it very interesting the diversity in our DNA is amazing. Thank you for sharing, you're a great family too.
I can relate to everything you said about the questions being asked regarding your ethnicity. Because I have long hair, I am often asked if I'm mixed (black/white), Latina, etc. It's exhausting.
Thank you for sharing your family DNA results. I love 💘 this one. 3 generations at the table is beautiful and all of you are gorgeous 😍. DNA is fascinating to me. I did African Ancestry paternal. Large percentage from Ghana 🇬🇭. With a story behind it. Peace and one 💘. Thanks.
I love the expression of the one on the Left opposite of Grandma!! Her expression clearly let you know she was over it!! However she was very respectful and responsive!! Beautiful family!!
Hi! You all should take the African ancestry test to get more details about your African side. They have a matrilineal test that should show more connections between your generations using mitochondrial DNA. They say they can trace down to the tribe.
They actually can & they do! They're the most reliable DNA test for people with African ancestry. Right down to the exact "tribe or tribes", which is great for anyone of African ancestry, as this fills in some of those big historical gaps. They're also one of the most reliable & honest, when handling your DNA. They dispose of your DNA once they've done all their testing.
Your granddaughter has your smile and spirit. She is so beautiful love her smile......What a great video. I love it. We also did the DNA and the results were very awakening. I now know who my biological dad is. I have thousands of cousins. Plus, a new brother and sister, a host of nephews. My goodness
Thank you, Kathy! I just love that girl! I am beyond proud of her. She’ll be leaving for UCLA soon. I’m glad you found your father and siblings. How cool! One of the best parts about DNA results is finding all of those family members you didn’t know you had 💚
I just purchased the heritage DNA kit I haven't taken it still on my dresser looking at me but this is encouraging. The Most High brought me here to your channel for a reason. Todah Rabah Achoti . Shalom and Blessings to your beautiful family
You guys are all so lovely! You look like a lot of Louisiana Creoles. You and your daughters are beautiful with sweet, kind personalities, and your granddaughter is adorable. Thank you for sharing this with us! God Bless you all!
Great video! I did mine on Ancestry and got a lot of the different regions too, but mostly Nigerian. I am the lightest in color in my family, close to your complexion, and my brother is a deep dark complexion. You could not tell we were related. Our DNA makeup is amazing information Thanks for sharing.
My fellow Diasporan African Americans! Beautiful family! I did 23andMe recently. Dam your youngest one have ALOT of Nigeria 😂 She got more than me, mines is 40.4%. Under my Nigeria it has 'Igbo' which I appreciate because i even walked away with a Tribe ✊🏾😂 I viewed comparison of my 1st cousins and theirs say Igbo as well 😉 Any day now my AncestryDNA results should be coming in. I can't wait so i can compare. You mentioned what surprised us, mines was it had a lil of Southern India Sri Lanka, i nearly fell out my chair reading that lol. Be well Big Sis! ✊🏾🙏🏾👍🏾💯
Awesomeness Tanya! You and your daughters are beautiful. You’re blessed with such a beautiful family! I have two beautiful daughters as well and we may do this someday… I know we have Native American as my grandmother 1/2 and her hair was down to her hips. I miss her dearly as she came to live with us many years… Her parents (great grandparents) had a huge farm and I remember all the animals especially the horses. 🐎
Thank you, Peaches! From the looks of you and your husband, your daughters are just as gorgeous! So is grandma the reason you have green thumbs? I hope you and your girls get your DNA done too. Thanks for watching. Stay blessed 🙏🏽💚
Great statement about the dilution of ones' ancestry DNA, decades and centuries later, and its best to have your grandparents also do the DNA test so an individual will get more confirmation and clearer idea of his or her ancestry.
The Inuit probably came in with the Finnish (Inuit are tied to Sammi and other migratory people of the Arctic region). Interesting results! Mine are all over too. I also have Spanish and Portuguese - my maternal grandfather was Cuban. Biggest percent Nigerian.
I've tested with 4 companies. I look forward to the updates every 6mos to a year by a couple of them. When enough more people get tested from different regions the companies can better narrow down the results. If you have the maps of results are put side by side you'll see similarities.
I had a Nigerian friend and your oldest daughter definitely has the facial features of the Nigerian people. And they have a very beautiful and joyful spirit too ❤
@@massimilianomencacci2510 what I am saying is that not all Africans look the same, just like not all Asians look the same. The region you are from matters. For instance, Nigerians tend to have rounder faces, many times shorter and stockier, while many Kenyans are taller, more lean. It's true.
Thanks a lot for sharing. My results from Ancestry is very similar to your girls. I've been taking a deep dive in my family history and DNA on both my mother and father's sides. I will be taking an African Ancestry test very soon. This test can narrow down a tribe and people that matches with your DNA. Super excited. I've also been called Puerto Rican and Arab in grade school, and I am in fact 66% African 32% western and northern Europe and 1% Indigenous North American.
Thanks for watching and sharing your results. Your DNA is results are very similar to ours. I’m taking Ancestry’s next and then African Ancestry after that 💚
@@thebusybrownangel5829 That's awesome. The only African country I didn't share with you all is Sierra Leone. But still very much in the West African region. Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo, and Western Bantu peoples. Mali, Benin & Togo, Ivory Coast and Ghana.
2/1/23@3:38 pm EST: I truly enjoyed your video. I hope that you will try the African Ancestry matriclan test. It will trace your matrilineal dna and tell you what tribe or people you are from. I’d be so interested to know the results.
It's so interesting! I wish my parents and grandparents were still alive so I could have a more accurate dna search. I do know my maternal grandparents were Norwegian and Swedish. I was also told my fraternal grandparents were French Canadian and German (Prussia). Which DNA test gave you more details? Thanks for sharing! 💯
You have a new subscriber. Much love to you and your family from Cameroon. You and your daughters are truly welcome to the continent so called Africa. The biblical promised land. The biblical land of Canaan. You are truly welcome to invest, stay, or visit. The people will see you and be happy.
Enjoyed your video. You are all beautiful and the whole family is good- looking. Yes, it's to the point that we need a DNA test to find out where all of these good genes originated.
I love this idea💞 My mom and I did our DNA test but I would also like my daughter and grand daughter to do theirs! My parents are Jamaican but everyone always assumes I have a white parent or grandparent. Nigeria and West Africa was also a high percentage for us too.
I did a My Heritage test, and all my life, I thought, as my paternal grandfather was from Belgium as was all of his family, I would have either Western Europe in my results (Holland, Belgium, etc), nope not a bit! Turns out my ancestors were from Scandinavia, (Sweden, Norway). Also, on my maternal side, I had no idea I was part Italian, nor was my mother aware! We are all just a huge mixing bowl of wonderful surprises! Thanks for sharing your story.
