Actually, no French Canadian that I know of. Mostly German, English and Irish with that tiny bit of Ashkenazi Jewish that you mentioned. Did you notice that tiny bit of Druze that FamilyTreeDNA picked up? Could that be related to the Jewish ancestor? Also, any thoughts on why FamilyTreeDNA shows Eastern European but Ancestry, 23andme, and MyHeritage do not?

@GeneaVlogger 3 года назад

Huh, I don't know why I thought you had French Canadian ancestry. It has been a while since I saw the video about your family tree, so I must have mixed it up! I didn't notice the Druze but it certainly could be related to that Jewish ancestry, although at less than 1% I imagine it may just be a misread. The Eastern European on FTDNA might just be how they are reading some of your German ancestry, especially since that Eastern European reading seems concentrated in present-day Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland. You'll notice as well that the only 'German' in the FTDNA reading is 4% Central Europe, so that makes it seem even more likely that it's just how they are defining your German ancestry.

@patrickm3981 3 года назад

@@UsefulCharts In addition it needs to be noted that just because someone came from Germany or identified as German by no means needed to be from German descent. In the eastern provinces of the German Empire a lot of the inhabitants were slavs that were culturally assimilated over the centuries. In addition a lot of people moved from the mostly rural and poor eastern provinces to the industrial centers in the west. Therefore a lot of people with a for example polish background at a DNA level would end up identify as German. Similar things happened within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but within an Empire that was ethnically a lot more diverse then the German Empire.

@MercyAlwyz23 3 года назад

@@GeneaVlogger speaking of the German. How is it that I have 4% German but neither of my parents nor my mother’s mother have German?! I will note that when I first tested my dad some Jewish was picked up. I think it was changed to Sweden though.

@QuiltinRI 3 года назад

I tested with Ancestry, uploaded wherever I could. FTDNA gave me the most accurate admixture according to my family tree (100% Italian, all my great grandparents emigrated to the US from southern Italy, and I can trace most lines to the 1700s). I also got trace results for Druze and Yemenite Jewish,which from what I have read are genetically quite similar.

@EllaBee90 3 года назад

French Canadian here - yep, everybody's related to everybody in my town. It's ridiculous. The settlers came from Gaspé to New Brunswick in 1910 and a hundred years of mariages later we're now all cousins or something. I've found my ex very far away from here just to make sure there wasn't any relations in our ancestry. LOL

@DolceSuono9 3 года назад

Same with French Canadians coming down into northern New England/ New York to farm. I am related to so many people on both sides of the border, some of my family has been here since the 1700s. I’ve found out I was related to a few random people I’d gone to high school with through these tests and I had no idea. My brother became good friends with this one guy and my mother says, oh he’s your cousin, but the families are so extended they’d never met. No one here for me!

@MrLoobu 3 года назад

Its important to remember they aren't actually reading your ancestry, they are comparing your genetics to other people with known family trees. This works pretty well with Europeans, or any group with migration records to the new world, but realistically most of the ethnicities from even 200 years ago were not even identified before they were lost, let alone recorded. If you are from the Americas or Africa or even much of Asia the detailed information to place your ancestors on the map just arent there.

@anaz5918 2 года назад

I did Ancestry and my grandma was mostly Native American grew up on a Indigenous community until her teenager years and spoke the language, when I did the test it show %30 + Native Americans and the region was from up north of Mexico places like Texas . My grandma always told us she was Yaqui which is a tribe recognized by the USA and Mexico it cover parts of North Mexico and South West USA also my European ancestors came from the Basque Country, Portugal and Asturias, Spain , I started a family tree and found my ancestors the left Europe and settled on Mexico in 1836 from one side of the family I haven’t work the far on my moms side .

@shaunsteele8244 2 года назад

@@anaz5918 yeah they'll identify Native American DNA, but that's all it will say... "Native American". It'd be like telling a white person they're "European", which most people would already know. The problem is Native tribes aren't offering up their DNA to be tested, so there isn't much reference data for people with Native American heritage who want to DNA test. Maybe that'll change in the future

It might be cool to do a stream that was "how far can we get in 3 (?) hours" tracking a person's genetic history. I have no idea if that is reasonable or 3 (?) hours gets you nowhere and would just be frustrating. But if it was a reasonable concept I would totally watch that, and also volunteer as a guinea pig for that (all I really know about my father is from my DNA). I would also pay for such a thing, knowing that it would be equivalent to going to costco and trying on the samples - far from buying the entire product, but a nice little taste of what is possible with DNA & genealogy tracking.

I did Ancestry and am matching to more than 162k people. I had my father do a dna test in order to see which side of my family was my mother’s (she’s deceased) and which was my father’s side. It didn’t help much. It’s like 90% match to my dad. This includes relatives that I know are on my mother’s side. It seems like my parents are distantly related, but I have not found a common ancestor. I’m Puerto Rican and have multiple countries mated to me. I matched up to someone who is clearly non-hispanic through my 2% Irish. I am 62 and my father was 93 and I never expected to have so many people be related to me.

@alexandracruz5243 10 месяцев назад

That's normal on the Caribbean islands. My parents are from Dominican Republic, I tested them and they're not related but I found out some distant great-grandaunts and uncles of my mother and father married and that's why I get matches from the both sides. It could happen to you, especially if they come from the same region in Puerto Rico.

@reneestuckyneale1599 3 года назад

I found this very interesting. I live in California, my family has been here since between 1900 and 1930. I have done DNA testing on Ancestry, FTDNA and 23andMe. I have been doing genealogy for about 3 years. On Ancestry I started finding a lot of cousin matches which seemed to match on both my mother’s lines and my father’s. Well, it turns out that because both of the families had large portions of the families that go way back in American history and there looks to be quite a bit of Endogamy. My mother’s lines include ancestors from Jamestown(early Virginia/Kentucky), Mayflower(early Massachusetts ), and early New York and New Jersey. mtDNA chromosome seems to be H1u1 and may lead to the Netherlands. For my father’s Y-chromosome DNA, I have recently tested my brother, but haven’t received the results yet, but I have traced most of that family back to the 1500s in Switzerland (went to Switzerland in 2019 and hired genealogists to help there), they are the most recent emigrants. The other side of his family can trace most of it’s roots back to early Virginia/Kentucky, and Mayflower(early Massachusetts). Both sides followed the general early migrations through upstate New York, then to Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri then on to Minnesota and the Dakotas and finally to California. It seems that a lot of the Mayflower descendant families tended to settle in the same communities. Both sides are predominantly British, Irish, Scottish, Germanic, French, and general Western European. This helps clear up why I was finding so many distant cousins who matched both sides. I have downloaded my DNA kits to GEDMatch and am doing most of this research on my own. BTW…my daughter-in-law is Chinese, from Beijing, your Chinese wife video was of interest to me as well.

It's interesting to hear this guy in the video mention his connection with Ireland and Nova Scotia... I am first born Canadian from Irish lineage and live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. I have a 23 and me kit here but have not sent in or set up yet, but it will be very soon. I am adopted, however, so I only have maternal lineage data of mother having left Ireland to come to Canada with her parents out of Cork Co. I understand that is kinda like the drain they pop the cork on as far as any westerly travelling ships. Super interesting to peek into the paternal Y chromosome data. I have done a considerable amount of etymological surname researching. Having its profound effect, not to mention the X marks the spot of the centromeres and telomeres, cromatid, and associated mythical and etymological parallels. Mind your P's and Q's as meaning many things, not the least of which referring to measuring the q arm and p arm of the chromosomes to determine length of the fuse or whick to calculate age on DNA level, but more importantly how many more times it will be able to replicate without degradation. The effect of entropy on the micro as is on all things in the macro. The Holy fire within, guardian spirit some say, others Djinn "that which is concealed". From first till last breathe "ruach" they support our walk.

What would you make of around an 8% italian reading in Myheritage but not significant amount of matches in today's Italy? That showed up on my grandfather's test and it was a complete surprise. He's from northern Spain.

@GeneaVlogger 3 года назад

If you have a single ancestor of Italian ancestry where that is coming from, it would be the equivalent of a Great Grandparent to 2nd-Great to your Grandfather - so a 3rd-great or 4th-great grandparent to you. That would be someone born in about the late 18th century or early 19th century. If this is the case, he may not see many Italian matches because he is of an older generation and the living Italian cousins are so distant that they share little to no dna. It is also possible that none of his close Italian relatives have tested (or at least in the database(s) with your Grandfather's DNA).

Ancestry gets it pretty spot on, while FTDNA says I am roughly 2/3 Irish, 1/3 Polish, with traces of Finnish (My Y-DNA Haplogroup is N) and the Caucuses Region (Unsure what’s that’s from).

They are the ones that determined that the guy from the northern Midwest had North American DNA that dated back like 17000 years when your mainstream companies only went back 5 or 6 generations.

I don't know what you exactly mean, but 31cM is much less than 1%, so it probably won't show up in the admixture because of that reason. Also, a 100% Jewish person doesn't exist, genetically speaking. And last but not least, these tests are *FAR* from perfect.

I used MyHeritage out of just plain curiosity. I appreciate your explanation of how DNA is trickier than most people know. I’d love to have my genealogy done, too. I’m a descendant of Alexander Hamilton and would LOVE to have verified to some naysayers. I just haven’t looked into it as of yet. I did learn that I’m 89% English, 9.6% Irish and 1.4% Scandinavian. Kinda boring, I know. 😂

Can you help me? 23 and me said im 57 Russian/ukrainian 41 romanian 1.1 south Indian 0.5 anatolian Then i did heritage and it said 2 results that 23 and me didnt have! Baltic and middle eastern. Is heritage wrong? Why didnt 23 and me add middle eastern and baltic? Why is the middle eastern so high? My Heritage said 47.4 romanian 40.5 ukranian/Russian 6.0 baltic?? 3.3 middle eastern 2.8 west asian Which is more accurate?? Is my heritage wrong?

My maternal great grandfather was adopted. We only know his birth name was “Lorenzo”. Any idea where to begin when trying to identify his ethnic background? I did 23andMe but the results don’t seem to clearly represent what I do certainly know about my ancestors as it was closely tracked in my family.

@dyread 3 года назад

I saw the Useful charts one at the time he put it up and wondered why he said mainly American for Ancestry, and I'm wondering if he knows that Ancestry UK exists for us on this side of the Atlantic, which also has many records on it. I'm glad to hear you say that it isn't mainly North American.

Part of why I even know they are split into 4 main websites is because I am an affiliate, so I had to sign up for each affiliate program separately! The UK records are quite strong as well.

@GeneaVlogger, I've watched a couple of your videos and found them to be very interesting. I have not done a DNA test as yet but know that on my father's side of the family, my grandmother is half German and half Cherokee Indian. My grandfather has some Sioux Indian in his line but I haven't been able to figure out exactly where the Sioux Indian comes in, when there's a lot of Irish and Pennsylvania Dutch there. Short of doing the DNA test, how do I find out where each individual part comes from (Sioux Indian as an example)? On my mother's side, my grandfather was Irish and grandmother was English, Welsh and I believe Swedish or Netherlands. As I work on my family tree, I've noticed that there is some ancestors from Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark.

@WolfRoss 10 месяцев назад

For ethnicity my paper trail matched the archaic DNA. This is because of the movement of populations where using current populations now residing in the same areas is irrelevant if your ancestors left a long time ago.

this is cracking me up. it wasn't funny at all when I learned a little about this in 2nd grade and told one of my "best" friends that I had an x and a y and that maybe I was almost a girl, so he ends up telling the whole school I'm half girl. It forced the school to bring in a science teacher to try to explain mendel's peas to everyone else. Back when the school library had drawers and cards. It's pretty funny now, though. I also researched ants, and ended up with bees, so who knows? ETW I WAS almost a girl. Left, right, ants, bees, male, female, I guess that's what makes this so interesting.

@briansmith9439 2 года назад

Interesting but it should be stressed that geneticists maintain that, geographically, all DNA type testing can only locate a person's ancestors to a continent, not a country. Each of the genealogy DNA companies tells you that fact in the fine print but you have to search for it. What they feature prominently is not much more than an educated guess based on the frequency of incidents in a particular area. This is problematic when you factor in the migration of populations over the centuries.

@JollyGoodJewWitch 3 года назад

Something so interesting is my uploads are different from the purchased kits with my results. And I purposefully didn't add under my own purchased accounts on purpose using an alias. While they had some major similarities, this equally had major differences. Very interesting for me because even the DNA matches changes too.

@GeneaVlogger 3 года назад

The reason for that is because each DNA testing company have SNPs which they test for that the others don't. So if you upload your Ancestry results to FTDNA but also take a test through FTDNA, they will be different because some SNPs read by Ancestry won't be included in FTDNA's algorithm but at the same time FTDNA is looking to read SNPs which Ancestry did not include in their reading. They all still test mostly the same SNPs though, but even a small 1% change can make a big difference with these complicated algorithms.

@nycsue 3 года назад

@@GeneaVlogger This makes sense which is why when I uploaded my Ancestry to My Heritage and received 0.9% West Asian I decided to upload my 23andme to My Heritage. I figured it would confirm the 1st result or debunk it. I wound up even more confused because I received 1.4% Central Asian. The only reason I bothered with the 2nd upload to My Heritage was because I never received anywhere outside of Europe on Ancestry or 23andme from the first time I tested through updates. I can confirm the change in matches as well.

@geneav Great video and I agree with you about useful charts I am Irish Roman Catholic and I for one would not take offence when discussing Judaism with use of gentile and I say that someone who knows that Roman Catholicism would always be within my even if other influences would have been introduced further than 4 generations back. If I may I would like to expand on your pinned comment. First I am not one who presumes automatically that a red haired north American automatically has Irish roots. However in connection with French Canadians there are some considerations. While many people in Canada can identify Irish roots because during the great Irish famine many children who survived the coffin were orphaned on arrival or very soon after in Quebec were adopted by french by largely Roman Catholic french Canadian families with obvious results. Also during your video old French Canadian and newer french canadian. An important point to KEEP IN mind is that not all askenasim practice emdogomy . This would be particularly true among newer french as Napoleon burst open all ghettoes on his wars eastwards as far as Moscow and many former residents may have made their to France and then on to the new world one or two generations afterward as secular french immigrants .🙋😃
