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.
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.
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.❤
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.
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.
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!
Our daughter is 99% German while my husband & I are both about 85% German. She asked how that was possible. I said she just inherited all our German genes. I had always heard that an ancestor was Cherokee but DNA doesn't show that. I finally found family tree info which included a Cherokee ancestor that was so far back that it no longer shows in DNA.
Interesting. Also, do your research as there are genealogists who will state that these tests are not too terribly accurate as there is no way to 100% determine this info. It is based on databases of those who have tested. This is why they occasionally update and your stats change. They are different with each company because there database of users differs. It may give some idea, but they say it is more entertainment than anything. Two twins were tested and came up quite different with the same company. Interesting though and I've done 3 different ones.
@@lahawk2931 I've heard that DNA is only a little more accurate than an Ouija board. But when you know that a 2x ggf came from Germany, then you can say "Yep that's right." You need to do the research to back up the DNA. All US census records that included him show he was born there.
My hubby has been working on his tree for years and we've dabbled in mine. My mother's parents are German her mom being born what was East Prussia, now Russian territory and church records destroyed...but her dna is like 48% British and I've yet to learn where that comes from. There was a story that a gal of nobility refused an arranged marriage and was disowned. Never knew if there was truth to this, but if true that may be the English blood...she may have been promised to someone in Germany, but unlikely it will ever be solved. Interesting just the same...we are all a mix.
@@paulaheady8990 I've been aware for years that there were (are) communities of Indians, blacks & whites who lived together throughout the country. A 4th great granduncle married a "free black" woman & moved to one of those communities. It could have been that my 2x ggm was more black than Cherokee. It would explain my .2% Nigerian DNA. I have heard the term "Melungeons," but not in connecton with her. The area fits though. The search for answers goes on.
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 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
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! ✊🏾🙏🏾👍🏾💯
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!
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.
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!!
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.
Hello :) This is just speculation, but amounts of Finnish ancestry together with any of these ethnicities; Native American/Inuit, west asian, central asian, mongolian etc could be a signifier of indigenous Sami ancestry. Especially if you also have Scandinavian or Northern European ancestry. These DNA companies do not have any “tag” for people of Sami ancestry and thus give some interesting results instead. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean that someone is Sami, but it’s interesting to keep in mind. Btw I am of Sami heritage, born and raised❤️💚💛💙
My father was born in 1924 and I was born in 1963 so we have the same issue with our dna results. One of my older sisters had our father do the dna test. We found out we have two other siblings than we knew about. On my mother's side there is a small percentage of Congo, Southern Bantu People and one more thing. It shows that one of our way back great grand fathers was what they called a mulato. He was a slave and his mother was as well. This is all very interesting. Thank you for sharing with us. Oh and despite my last name, we are mostly Irish.
My DNA was 50/50 from both sides amazingly. My mum was straight-up Irish & Scottish. My dad however was the rolling stone lol. I'm 30% Irish & 20% Scottish from my mum. From my dad it's 4% Scottish, 21% Nigerian, 11% Cameroon/Congo/Bantu, 6% English with the map showing the extension into Belgium and France, 4% Mali, 2% Welsh, 1% Native American and 1% Senegal. On ancestry DNA I am included in the Louisiana Creole section as are many of my relatives which makes sense.
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 am Kenyan and our history as a tribe known as Kikuyus is Hebrew. Our practices, customs and culture is the same as in the Bible. We are a Bantu speaking group and all of us come from the Shem linage. Most slaves were taken from Bantu coasts and there is also another slave trade that was far worse than the transatlantic one called the east African slave trade. You are Hebrew if you have any Bantu blood in you. Also it's interesting that you have Maasai blood because they are a Nilotic speaking group from the lineage of Ham. All east Africans share a cushitic, Nilotic and Bantu blood in different variances especially Kenya, Uganda Tanzania, south Sudan, some parts of Ethiopia and Somali. We urge you to visit this part of the world. Asante
If you know that you are a descendent of Shem, you are semetic, Hebrew from the Middle East. The descendants of Ham, another son of Noah. People migrated further south on the African continent, where the people of Shem we’re pretty much all over the Middle East and northern Africa, mostly Morocco.
Absolutely true you cannot tell a persons ethnicity by the color of their skin. At my temple, we have so many Jews of color, one man was from Wales, and so many from the British Isles, and morocco have darker skin. We even had a lady from Dutch Guiana, but she moved to Israel where everybody thinks she is an Ethiopian.
Well said bro,keep educating our people.The Kamba able bodied men were captured,chained their hands,yoked their necks and trekked all the way to Mombasa then shipped to the Arab world by Arabs to be slaves.
I have “met up” with some of my family online. I took the Ancestry DNA, and found out that I’m not related to any Native American tribe, like I was told… then the story came out of the closet. My Great-Great-Great Grandmother’s husband was said to have been “native”. He was actually a light skinned African man. Back then, it was taboo to marry a man of a different race. Hey, the heart wants what the heart wants! I just believe she was way before her time. So, when I saw that 3% of my DNA came from Africa, (and I’m stark white.😂) I was overjoyed! My Husband kept saying we was VERY Irish (he has red hair and is also very fair skinned. I knew this came from Scotland.), and come to find out, my feisty little self is MUCH more Irish than he is! 😂 He’s almost all Scottish, and English! Genetics are so much fun!! Be blessed!
I always thought the red hair was the Scottish influence, not the Irish. My father said he was Scottish but had light brown hair. His grandfather immigrated from Scotland. Unfortunately they have all died. Another interesting thing: we had a family friend with red hair, freckles, pink skin who said he was German. He has also passed on.
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.
Children do not get more DDNA from their father. They receive 50% from each parent. The nature of DNA is such that each child in a family is likely to get different DNA results from their siblings. For example, my father and sister show Sardinia while I show Corsica and the Balearic Islands. And each individual sibling can even get different DNA results by taking multiple tests.
Very interesting video ❤ A Geechee/Gullah is a person of African ethnicity. You find them in abundance in the Carolinas and Georgia regions. They are original Africans with no mixed blood. Look them up. I first heard of them in a college course on African culture and read about them in a book by Ivan van Sertima. There are also pure Africans who have lived for decades in Mexico (Guerrero, Oaxaca and there’s another place also). Lastly, there were slave descendants living in Louisiana with a distinctly different culture than the French Creole and Cajun people. In rural areas you find tour camps and even slave descendants who will guide you through the African experience on the plantation and such. You may have heard of the controversy currently with the Seminole Natives and Blacks, which is disgraceful and more about finances than blood quantum foolery. Anyway, this was a beautiful video as you and your daughter, niece and granddaughter are all quite lovely 💖💖
@@thebusybrownangel5829 …l stand corrected 💖 l subscribed to your channel. I love a sister who’s a Believer. 🙏🏽I’m an armchair gardener and l love the beauty of Southern California.💖💖💖💖
@@GeecheeMuslimah5 …we’ve passed through your beautiful state on our way to wherever. Many years ago we ate at a diner owned and operated by beautiful Gullah Geechee people. It is where l first heard of and ate creamed spinach and sweet potato pie. These two dishes can’t be replicated by any other group and l still remember how delicious they both were. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
This was so fascinating. Most people are walking around here thinking there’s a simple answer to, “What are you?” or “Where are your people from?” It’s really a jam packed question. I hope I’m brave enough to seek the answers some day.
Half your DNA is your mother’s heritage and half is your Father’s It’s always 50/50. Scientifically you can’t have more of your Dad’s DNA. But this was really cool to watch. You ladies are stunning.
I'm Nigerian 🇳🇬 bread and buttered living in England 🇬🇧 but for some reason, I know I'm middle Eastern, somewhere in Israel 🇮🇱 because people from my village according to history, well over 2000 have Jewish ✡️ ancestors in Ondo city, a lot among the Igbo tribe too, yet to take my DNA, great family you have right there, God bless you all.
They migrated from Canaan Land, after they were dispersed by war 7th, century. I find this topic extremely interesting because its connecting hidden dots... ie; There is no such tribe in the bible or in antiquity that is called "jew". However there are tribes that originally are know to inhabit the region. A worthy topic to investigate. @@universalnihi8374
What people in past could not understand is that most Black people and people in general are a blend of many ethnicities. We are more defined by our culture and our skintone does not necessarily clue one in to what culture that is. Acceptance and celebration of diversity is key. Ive been discrimination from all ethnic groups! Non-Americans seem to be enthusiastic to inquire of my origins which is very telling of the American past of hateful history.
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.
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%.
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.
These results are always so fun to watch.. :) I'm from Finland and I really hope that my results give me more information than 100 procent Finnish, because our nation has been so isolated up here in north :D But let's see.. maybe some day we have enough people in the register so that we have more information. :)
The Nigerian and Sierra Leone countries represent your Gullah Geechee heritage. We also come from Cameroon, Angola and a few other western and central west African countries. Your Gullah Geechee was there loud and clear! ❤️ from South Carolina
Great video! I just got my 23&me results and I am 87.9 % Sub Saharan African the largest precent is Nigerian 50% the tribe is Igbo and 8% British and Irish 1.9% Indigenous American I think the most shocking was the small percentages of Filipino, Sri Lankan, and south East Asian. I think I am going to try ancestry next!
Someone in my family decided to take a DNA test... or bloodline is Ashkenazi and from Egypt. And then it got better... my last name is not Italian as we thought, but African AND I'm from the tribe of Judah. Still watching... will be neat to see. Much love hun, enjoy the gardening stuff. You nail it!! GROW SOMETHING!! 😊
I can advise doing a matriclan test through African Ancestry DNA. It’s a bit more pricey than some other DNA test kits. That company claims to have the largest database of DNA for people of African descent.
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.
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. 💚
In Nigeria there are three main groups the Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa. I was born there and grew up among the Hausa. My Ancestry is Scandinavian, German, and English. All Northern European. So I am about as light as you can get. I became a US citizen when I was 17. So when I tell people I am an immigrant from West Africa I always get quite a reaction.😂
Well because you're not an immigrant from Africa but an oyibo mostly missionary school admin, expatriate, university lecturer, state government contractor. Big difference between a Nigerian immigrant and oyibo migrant.
Numbers 1:18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls. Those DNA 🧬 test are confusion there are no such thing as mixed realistically beautiful family ❤
Our test is the curses! Rom 8:16 and Deut 28:15-68. These comments are mostly drones all saying the same thing, never have I read such well punctuated and grammerly correct comments from our people as in this videos comment section. Why would his fathers go to sooo much trouble hiding our identity just to make a test that tells us the truth? Reading these comments don't even sound like how our ppl talk anyway, use discernment!
That was the origins of the genealogy records in Israel which only considered ONE generation from the paternal line BUT as time went on they were required to trace ALL of their fathers’ line throughout every GENERATION back to one of Jacob’s sons. Every generational father had to be an Israelite not just your immediate father which even claims of someone’s immediate father being an Israelites can NOT be substantiated or proven. *EZRA **2:59**-62* *NEHEMIAH 7:61-65*
Geechee/ Gullah are West African descendants as that is my heritage as well. The highest concentration of people being in the low country of SC, GA, and FL… these people are unique because they kept there west African culture and traditions and some may have mixed with Native American but a lot of them did not. In SC some also own huge portions of land that was inherited and or passed down.
@@thebusybrownangel5829 I understand… if you ever care to visit, go to Charleston SC or Beaufort SC… these places are beautiful and the food is amazing! You have a beautiful family btw with very interesting backgrounds… I plan to do African DNA 🧬 very soon.
@@StrutTIGER1870 Greetings brother, Last weekend on St Helena Island was the annual Heritage Days Festival. Luckily the rain that was expected didn't come Turn out was low bad overall it was good.

In my DNA test, what surprised me most was what wasn't there. My paternal grandparents were German Jewish, one from eastern territory now in Poland and the other from (I believe) the Vienna area. My maternal grandparents were from Sweden and Bohemia, now called the Czech Republic. I expected I would have considerable Slavic and Southern European ancestry but I didn't. Except for that genetic part which is distinctly European Jewish, I am about 90 precent Germanic and Nordic ancestry. My Bohemian grandmother's family spoke Bohemian (now called Czech) but apparently was of Germanic ancestry. I do have story about my Italian friend and his family's DNA. He had an Italian father and an English mother whose ancestry went back to the colonial Virginia planter class. He was a college dropout and Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, but he had a brother who pursued a professional career and had social connections with high political figures in the Democratic Party. My friend told me that his brother's DNA test report said they had 0.7 percent Black African ancestry. His brother, my friend said, thought that this came through his mother. I looked it up and found that ethnic Italians all have a small amount of black ancestry, less in the north and more in the south. His black ancestry, I told him, probably came through his father, not his mother, and that his brother either was ignorant or just engaging in wishful thinking. Reported DNA results are not the last word. They have to be interpreted and analyzed in light of what you know. The outfit that did my first test reported no Scandinavian ancestry but now ten years later they have decided that I have 10 percent Scandinavian ancestry. The second outfit, which apparently has a more Middle American customer base, reported that I had 10 percent English ancestry. My immediate conclusion was that the English were descended from migrants from the area in Sweden where my maternal grandfather's forbearers came from. I took tests with two different outfits because I was interested in seeing the names of distant relatives.
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 question the accuracy of these tests. My father took 2 tests from 2 different companies. One had him at 39% European and the other one showed no European ancestry at all.
50,000 Irish 1652 and 1659 were sold for about 18 pounds each as slaves by Cromwell. African slaves were then slowly added in the subsequent decades thus giving most Black people Irish DNA. They were not "indentured" and the overseers did not change whips for the new single, mixed population based on skin color gradients.
Where did you gather your data? With all due respect, this is a false narrative. There was no race mixing between Blacks and Irish in the la-de-dah fashion you’ve created based on your lumping together anyone who was a slave. Enslaved Africans - the women - were used by their masters to become impregnated in order to create additional workers, and as property to be sold in order to generate additional revenue by selling them at auction. In other words the Irish slaves weren’t sitting down and throwing back a beer with African slave men and women and then marrying them. You’ve created a great story based on guesswork but sorry, it’s a corruption of history - unless you can come up with some kind of historical data (which doesn’t exist).
When you told your granddaughter people just think your black but your father is Jamaican. What does that mean. My husband is Jamaican. And he is black. 90 or more percent of Jamaicans are black. Their ancestors were also enslaved people. To say you are not black because you are Afro-Jamaican or like my family Afro-Latino does not make you not black. That type of conversation divides blacks here in the USA/America.
My daughter has 49.96% my DNA but my grandson has 28.56%!! He's my buddy. His parents were not born in the US but him and I both were born in Ohio 😊😊😊 He's so proud of that.
Has anyone tested through the African Ancestry site? What were your results? My wife and I tested and she's Mandinka from Senegal 🇸🇳 and I'm Mende from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱. The tests go back 2000 years. I heard based on results through this company we're eligible for citizenship.
@All Eyze... I did my African Ancestry and once you get results, you receive access to the online community. I did my paternal and maternal side. Paternal is appx 79% Cameroon (Mende) and my maternal is appx 89% Nigerian (Igbo). I am still learning about the cultures, languages, plus and was traveling back and forth before ko💉.
Awfully curious these tests supposedly only go back 2000 years.... Just long enough to miss or not include the classic ancient African civilizations, specifically those Nile Valley civilizations & cultures as well as those of central-southern Africa. Mitochondrial tracing goes infinitely far back in time.
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.
Hi, I’m a mixed race person and I had a black African father and a white European mother. I had no issue with my ancestry as on both side of the family I knew the name of several generations of ancestors. But I was curious about Dna so about 2 years ago I ordered some test for myself starting by 23andme and ancestrydna then when I got the results I imported the raw data of those test into MyHeritage for $39 each to be reprocessed. Also 23andme and ancestrydna results had shown to be quite different, when reprocessed by my heritage they were telling a new story that was quite similar for both set of data. In relation with those test my father and all his family were from the Galwa tribe of Gabon in West Equatorial Africa . As part of a bigger group according to oral traditions the Galwa people migrated from East Africa from an area between the big lakes of south Kenya and north Tanzania and the Swahili coast. They left the east coast of Africa supposedly around the 10th or 11th century and arrived on the West coast 500 years later where they settled around the beginning of the 16th century. According to the elders they were fleeing horsemen trying to capture and enslave them as part of the Arab slave trade on the East coast of Africa that lasted over 1000 years. The reason I’m mentioning East Africa is that in the results from myheritage there was no mention of anything close to Gabon but my African DNA was roughly 3/5 Nigerian 2/5 Kenyan. Nigerian I had no idea but Kenya or not far from it is where the Galwa people say their ancestors where from. So I sent more test from MyHeritage to family members in Africa, 2 uncles in their 80’s, cousins, distant cousins… and especially to people with no known mixed ancestry, all the test came back with about the same ratio about Nigeria/Kenya. The most surprisingly interesting in the results of my old uncle is that he is only 96% or 97% African, he’s about 2% Scandinavian and 1.5% Chinese-Vietnamese. My cousin 99% African 1% East Asian, some of her relatives on her mother side have also 1% or 2% coming from Middle East or Asia, my son an I have 1% of Malay-Papua New Guinea… Among myself, my relatives and their relatives who did a Dna test nearly every body has a bit of foreign Dna coming from somewhere East outside of Africa. The reason I’m mentioning all that is that I heard in your results Nigeria Kenya and some middle eastern. It is part of the Dna make up that some Galwa people have and they were not the only one fleeing the African East Coast slave trade.
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
I had Levantine show up under mine and my Dad's 23 and me. That was very interesting to us. We also found my Dad's biological father through it. Which was something he always wanted to know.
This is so beautiful ! Which DNA test did you guys prefer (Ancestry, 23&Me, or My Heritage) . & what you said about our DNA being mostly from our father was incredible to hear because my Guinean side of the family (my mothers) always say you’re more of whatever your father is and I never knew if they were saying this based off of science or not !! Wowwww they were right
In African culture the father side has a lot of importance because the ancestors had knowledge about how DNA and blood work out in the body. But modern western culture looks at it as a patriarchal oppressive way of life. The father injects his seed into a woman and his seed grow up to become his representation even if his child looks more like his mother. It doesn't matter
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!
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 am fascinated by DNA and ancestry. Im mostly english and german. I have some eastern European and found out my grandmothers family was from the czech republic. I appreciate your perspective so much. Thank you for sharing.
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.
This was so much fun! I wish I could afford to take a couple of these. I want my fiance and my mom to take them, too. Not sure if they would, but I think it'd be a lot of fun. We're all one big melting pot of humanity. It's beautiful.
Lost Jedi 26, it did not turn out to be fun for me because I discovered that the man who raised me and believed me to be his child was not my biological father.
Hi there, I have so enjoyed your video. I live in the UK, I hate being identified by the colour of my skin, it's a pinky brownish fawn. It goes a darker brown when exposed to sunlight. I think we have some Caribbean ancestry, but my brother recently did the DNA thing, and we're 30% Scottish, 8% Irish, 10% Norwegian (Viking)!50% English and 2% Jewish. We always thought we had some Caribbean and some Spanish ancestry, but apparently not! My mother traced her family back 200 years to Norfolk, which is in the East of England. We live just outside London, UK. Her family moved into London with the industrial revolution. What you said (Mum) about getting more DNA from Dad was interesting. I heard somewhere that we don't get exactly 50% from one parent and 50% from the other. Which if you think about it and family resemblances, it makes sense. It think I've got more of my Dad in me than my Mum. I always thought I had Spanish in my ancestry because I've been to Spain quite a few times, and I fit right in, there are loads of people there who look like me. My brother, who did the DNA test, his partner is Spanish, from Seville in South of Spain. She is an identical twin, and her husband looks like my brother, although they are completely unrelated, but we look more Spanish than English. Also I have a rare blood group which is highly associated with the Basque region of Spain. I think you're all amazing anyway, and thanks for sharing your video.
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 🙏🏽💚
