Also, if you look at the history of Poland from 1600 ish to 1800 Poland was actually Poland Lithuania CommonWealth. Poland and Lithuania even disappeared for a while. so the borders of Poland and Lithuania were very fluid, lots of wars. I married a 5th-generation American Polish guy. First generation to only speak a few words of Polish. 💌
Your grandparents still probably came from Russia. These are genetics based on current population location, not historical. Folks migrate long distances all the time.
I'm Black American. On my MyHeritage DNA results, I also got a small percentage of "East European" and "Baltic" in my "Ethnicity Estimate". I found that both fascinating and an enigma. Two of my genetic groups are Black American, and one is Puerto Rican (which is another enigma, but for that I can speculate). Your video was well done. Thanks for sharing it.
@@bbmadelineFate? Destiny? Supernatural intervention? Two things! My fiance? She is also Puerto Rican, but we didn't know anything about me til after I took the test. The other thing is, being Black American I've speculated the PR must've happened during the 1800's (slavery era or shortly thereafter), because no one in my family knows anything about it. As for the East European portion (unless there's some sorta Haitian connection. Polish soldiers helped Haitians against the French in their fight for freedom, and they later became Haitian citizens and mingled in the population) IDK, as Eastern Europe was not really involved in the slave trade. Unless MyHeritage DNA is confusing (or lying) that that Eastern European DNA is really Ashkenazi Jewish DNA. They did settle early parts of America, and many came from Poland/Germany. Anyway, just some food for thought. Thanks again.
You are Hebrew Israelite so called mexican you are what your father is. 14 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens: 15And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute Genesis 49@@bbmadeline
Romans 15:24 “Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.”
@@doubleutee2100 African american = West African mixed with slave master's babies they had with the women slaves. So it's as simple as that, all African american have a big share of European DNA.
My great grandparents were also murdered in the Armenian Genocide. My mothers dad at the time was 4 years old and survived. Never knew anyone from her dads side…I think doing this test would be interesting for us to try
Ethnicity is not the same as nationality. Just as American is a nationality but not an ethnicity, Mexican is also a nationality not an ethnicity. The original intent of ethnicity estimates was to tell where your ancestors lived 500 to 1000 years ago, before intercontinental travel. Since there are no living people that old, each of the DNA companies create reference panels of living users who claim that all four grandparents were born in a specific location. On 23andMe, ethnicity estimates are presented with a confidence level default of 50%. If you change the slider to, say, 95%, the estimates will change. On AncestryDNA, the ethnicity estimates are shown in a range. If you click the percent number, it will show you the range. The only way to know where your family lived is to build a well-documented tree. The auto-generated Family Tree on 23andMe is similar to the By Parent split on AncestryDNA. They cannot tell which side is maternal or paternal. You have to figure that out. On AncestryDNA, you can build family trees, but you can't see the records without a subscription.
It’s not that we deny it, it’s just so insignificant, less than 1% that you would be silly to just renounce whatever majority heritage you have to put on face paint and start eating fufu like you were born in Kenya 😹 especially when you have european like hair
@@neo2190 No, I would have to respectfully disagree with you. I have watched many videos of Latinas/Mexicans taking DNA tests, and it’s so sad, pathetic, ridiculous, and embarrassing to the absurd lengths they go to try to distance, deny, and freak out over having Sub-Saharan African roots like they have some sort of contagious disease! Latinas/Mexicans have European ancestry even though it derives from European colonialism, who raped, slaughtered, and plundered an entire continent, and they have pride in that? Africans arrived in Mexico in chains; Europeans arrived in Mexico with the sword in one hand and the bible in the other. Oppressed Africans suffered along with the indigenous folks in Mexico. It's a sad reality that colorism and anti-Black sentiment are rife among Latinos...
@montagne5825 nope many also have African. They are mixed race people. There may still be some full blood natives but, mixing races does not a new race make.
@@montagne5825 Actually to be perfectly honest, Race does not really exist. There are only three ethnicities in the world, caucasoid, mongaloid, and negroid. Everyone else is simply some mix of these. Think of it as primary colors, when mixed together, they make all kinds of new shades.
@@jessenoreligionno5731 many have the smallest percentage of African. European, native and a smallll percentage of African. Yes mixed, but also mestizo. “Mestizo” exists for a reason.
This is the 23 and Me? Or AncestryDNA? I got AncestryDNA. Seeing your results is so fascinating especially with your knowledge from what you've obtained from your family. ❤
After the genocide of Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks at the hands of the Ottomans, the Kurds became the majority in Eastern Anatolia simply because these region were suddenly emptied. Before the genocide, Kurds alone were not the majority in many of the regions of Eastern Anatolia, Syria and Mesopotamia. I am not against Kurdish fighting for independence but sometimes, some of the territories claimed are not historically kurdish.
Lithuania was occupied by the Soviet Union before WW2 and after WW2 for 50 years ish. Your grandmother could be right to say your grandpa was from Russia. and still be from " Lithuania " too. Lithuania has the same story as Ukraine and Poland. They have been trying to break free from the Soviet Union( Russia) for generations.
I am European and also have some Levantine, Coptic Egyptian or North-African in the 23andme results and my DNA Matches included but we are very much North/Western European so I am not sure where it comes from. I have built most of my family tree but yet have to find it.
You don't look armenian/polish at all. You just look mexican. I know mexicans who are "100% mexican" (as in both parents are mexican) and look whiter than you, for example my nephew (we are mestizos).
My parents are from Guanajuato Mexico and that Mexican State took in a lot of orphans and refugees from Poland during WW2 my Grandma was one of them and some of our family came out with blue eyes and some came out looking like her
@@noelramirez1551it’s not because of the orphans from Poland, it’s because of Spanish ancestors. Mexicans are basically Spanish and Native American mixed
My wife is from Ecuador; her AncestryDNA ethnicity estimate shows 60% Indigenous Ecuador, 17% Spain, 5% Basque, 3% Portuguese, 4% Senegal, 2% Benin/Togo (and 1% each from other groups from Southern Africa), 1% Northern Italy, 1% Cyprus, 4% Irish.
If you have Polish ancestry Lithuanian and Czech will come with that, because many villages in Poland had settlers from these 2 countries. There was a country Polish-lithuanian Union sometime in history. I know about Armenian genocide, horrible horrible things done by Turkish.
I believe that Your Father DNA 🧬 is very very very very Stronger for real, because I can see the Mexican in You more more more more than the European for real, but I can see some Looks Of European in You too, but the Mexican Look Is more more more in You for real.
a 100% Mexican.... you mean of Mayan or Aztec ancestry ? Because other than that, that area nowadays known as Mexico was mostly populated by spanish and portuguese imigrants to the so-called new world. And also the area nowadays known as the USA was mostly populated by european immigrants, and later african (although in most cases involuntarily) and asian immigrants. You do get that as an "american" your ancestry - in mostly all cases - is outside the US ?
This is just a pastime for priviledged gringos, nowhere else in the world could you make businesses that profit off telling people where their ancestors are from, while they willingly give you their blood. We all come from Africa and moved around the world, who cares if you have some common DNA with people in some other part of the world just like pretty much everyone?
@@torrezno1990Pues aunque no lo creas si... Ya por el simple hecho de ser NORTEAMERICANOS... 🇲🇽🇺🇲🇨🇦⬆️⬆️⬆️Y como ejemplo de ello... Son los irlandeses que fueron desterrados de Estados Unidos y huyeron al país de México por la cercanía y es por eso que es normal ver a gente pelirroja y blanca como el canelo en México... Y nuestra ubicación geográfica NORTEAMERICANA tiene que ver mucho en ello 🤪 Y México van con x, no con j... Estúpido ignorante de mrda
Both AncestryDNA and 23andMe show I am of African, European and Native American ancestry. The Native American part I knew about growing up. The European ancestry kind of surprised me but should have expected, or suspected, considering the courses I took in high school but that was back in the early 1970's.
Those regions in Turkey used to be a majority Armenian. Most Armenians used to live in what today is known as Turkey before the Armenian genocide. During the genocide around to 200,000 Armenian women and children were forcibly converted to Islam and integrated into Muslim households. Young women and girls were often appropriated as house servants or sex slaves. These Armenian women who were taken ended up in Turkish or Kurdish households. So the current population of eastern turkey still have some Armenian ancestry. That's why most Armenians get regions in Turkey when they do DNA ancestry tests. In most of Latin America after they got independence from Spain there were this cultural movement when the new governments tried to erase everyone's identities and encouraged them to mix so that everyone would become this new national identity. Before this most Spanish settlers were still 100% European and most indigenous people were still 100% indigenous. After this everyone was mixed and everyone just started identifying as just being from the country they reside in and not their specific ethnic background. So today many Latin Americans will say they are fully Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican etc. even though everyone in all these countries are mixed Spanish/Indigenous, with a little bit of African. Poland and Lithuania used to be the same country. Even as recent as a hundred years ago the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, was still a majority Polish. Though most Poles were repatriated from Lithuania by the Soviet Union during the 1940s. So it makes sense for Polish people to get regions in Lithuania.
There was a huge population of African descent, but, as I understand it, Mexico did a lot to hide them. There has been a bit of resurgence. We traced some of our ancestry in Mexico, and share an ancestor with a famous Mexican-American.
Came from Russia =Came from Russian Empire. Half of Poland including Warsaw was in Russia. Lesser Poland is the heart of Poland and one of birthplaces of Slaves. Lithuania had/has a major Polish minority (majority in some regions). Balkans is for Balkans and Carpathian mountains. Common % for Polish living near Carpathians.
The reason why a lot of people didn’t know about the Armenian Genocide or recognized it. Due to it being in our 1st to 2nd Grest grandparents era. Some people their 2nd to 3rd great grandparents era(mostly today’s kids and teenagers. Rarely 20 and 30 years olds). Ihe Great War was 110-106. Which is the time period of the Armenian Genocide. No one is still alive to express PRSD in 2024 compared to there are still some people still alive that did experience and have express PTSD of the Holocaust still in 2024. Türkiye doesn’t want to pay a tolement like Germany did for the Holocausts as well. Typically things that a hundred years oe more typically get forgotten by the public that aren’t historians. History is just seen as boring to a lot of kids these days. Even to a bunch of young adults around my age. Even things that aren’t 100 years like the war od 1939-45, the Korean War 1950-53, The Vietnam War 1955-75, and the entire war against Communism of the 20th century are slowly being forgotten by those whom aren’t alive or were too young in those war eras. Ignorance is caused by a lack of lnowledge and stupidity is caused by a lack of education in society. Also people don’t feel that the Armenian Grnocide,Pontic Genocide,Holocaust,and Uganda or Rowanda Genocide are ompoetant as they didn’t happened on US and Canadian soil. Yet several Jews and Armenians and Greeks came here to escape those tragedies to gain a better life. I think maybe that’s the reason why,I could be wrong yet thst’s okay to be wrong?(
I just began watching your video (first few seconds) and do not yet know your results, but I have to comment that you look like a somewhat light skinned middle eastern person. Your narrower face and features look middle eastern. I know your last name is Hispanic but you may have either Persian, Arabic, or Jewish in your background, along with the Hispanic - that’s my guess. Now I’ll watch your entire video, results included…. By the way, I’m Mexican American and I know that many that have that heritage have rounder faces, especially if they have a lot of native indigenous Mexican.
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
I am surprised that for a lot of people 23&Me is that accurate. My results were off quite a lot. They've even found Ashkenazi and Indonesian in my DNA which like literally never happened in our family history. They also failed to match me with Poland (my mother's female side is all Polish), Greece and Western Europe. Upload from 23&Me to FTDNA showed quite accurate results that matched with known history.
Polaca+armenio X Española+Indigena mexicano 22.5% cada uno de tus abuelos. En el % polaco va la mezcla rusa/lituana/polaca En el porcentaje español debes incluir el norte africano, el balcanico, el levantino entre otros: La mezcla de un español incluye sangre arabe, romana, vikinga, celta, germanica, fenicia (libano), judía sefardí entre otras, con la original iberica.
Next time u do a vid, actually look at it first and rerecord if neces....in this case, lose the glasses or move the light to above u. look at your eyes! the reflecting is bad. i can't even finish watching this
I think your African DNA could be a toss up between your mother or father’s side. A lot of Sub-Saharan Africans live in the Middle East & North Africa too
I'm always amazed when people who's immediate family comes from somewhere in south or central America are in turn amazed they have a good portion of Iberian DNA. There's a reason that the most prevelant language in these areas is Spanish 😂 closely followed by Portuguese.
Because it's sometimes the opposite of what happens in the Philippines in some Latin American countries you can be white blue eyes but don't consider yourself European you're Mexican or from Argentina or Puerto Rican but in the Philippines they seem to want to claim and hold onto that 3 % they don't care how low it is
To understand your results you must learn history. People did not settle ..they wandered. And re Czech Republic these are the names of the countries now. Hundreds of years ago these were part of Russia.
And kazakstan was the orginal slavic land from the steppe people. They were forced to move west by the turkic and mongols. Later they became russian, poles and all slavic people.
Is that the Nun one? I'll have to check out some of her movies...I know her mostly from Parks and Rec loved that show! But you have her cadence in your voice 🤣@@bbmadeline
23 n Me is providing you DNA from your Maternal line, since Females have the Y chromosome, Females do not carry the X chromosome, like Males.. but you also do share 50/50 DNA with your mother and your father.
