I took a DNA test...I did NOT expect this! 

When I did the test a few years back... I had an identity crisis because I didn’t expect the results I got. I expected to be mainly African but turns out I am more European. But nonetheless it’s nice to know where I am from. And now I check with confidence white and black race in forms lol

Bre I’m so excited that you did yours. I too find all of it so fascinating... I did mine a few years ago and I am just as mixed up as you and I was super surprised to find out that I DO have Asian. Chinese and Vietnamese about 14%. We found out some serious family secrets with my results!! 👀

I took two DNA tests and the results were no surprise, 100% Eastern European Jewish. Welcome to the family! ☺️

Absolutely have your great-grandmother take this test, if you can. Her results will show a wealth of knowledge that most people could only dream of. Even though you've taken your test, it is no replacement for the results that you can get from her or whichever oldest family members you can get to take the test. All my grandparents passed away either before I was born or shortly after. I so wish I could get more information from them. Please don't pass up this opportunity.

I'm 83,1% Greek 8,6% South Italian 6,4% Spain and 2,9% from Latvia.

Whoo! You’re 45% British. Welcome to the club ✌️ Thank you for your upload!! I’m 60% England, 23% Scotland 12% Ireland, 3% Norway and 2% Sweden. Great video! Always lovin the AncestryDNA videos!!! Thank so much for the up load.

I'm mixed too and was just told that I'm part black and white. Took the test and was shocked by the results. Like your results it showed a lot of places in both Africa and Europe. I also found out that I have a great grandfather that came from Poland and he had Jewish ancestry.

You two are such a gorgeous couple!!! Thanks for sharing your results. I’ve been curious about doing this and I might just take the plunge! 😊

Beautiful mix you have. My results estimate are (August 2020): Nigeria 35% Benin & Togo 19% Mali 13% Cameroon, Congo & Western Bantu Peoples 10% Ivory Coast & Ghana 5% Southern India 8% Northern India 4% England & Northwestern Europe 4% Wales 2%

You’re both so cute ! I love the pbs finding my roots episodes 🙌🏽💗 we’re all connected of course it it’s neat to see specifically what the beautiful mixture is ☺️ thanks for sharing 🌹

Found my formerly childless 70 yr old uncle a 37 yr old daughter he never knew existed!! But to make it even more wild, we all grew up in the same small NY neighborhood!! She was adopted by a wonderful couple who also lived in the same neighborhood. I’ve know her forever, not well because she’s younger than I am, so we ran in different crowds. But I’ve seen her in the neighborhood and mingled with her at all the neighborhood parties and events. She was good friends with a friend of mines younger sister!! She and her dad must have passed each other in the street thousands of times before he moved to Florida! This development occurred and I connected them about 3 years ago and they’ve developed a bond and love one another like no time passed at all. ♥️

This is a most interesting topic. I did AncestryDNA and I’m am an American 🇺🇸 first of all. This is my country. Now AncestryDNA is 26 % Scotland,25% Nigerian,18% Benin Togo, 11% Cameroon,Congo,and western Bantu 5% Mali,5% Ghana and Ivory Coast, 3% Wales,England, ..... in the end we are all human beings living on this earth.

You have a very versatile look. I feel like you could easily pass as everything from Southern Italian/Sicilian to North African and Arab to Latina. Cool results!

That’s awesome your parents allowed you to embrace your full multi-ethnic background. Many times biracial people (in the US) are forced to pick a side or pigeon-holed into one group.

I'm Portuguese but my test results were: 80% Portugal 5% Spain 5% France 4% Irish 2% North African 2% Senegal 2% Italian

I am mixed but had 8 ethnicities: mostly North African, nigerian, south Italian. Scotland, west europe, Spanish , etc

First of all wow what a beautiful couple. Omg I thought he was Asian or Native American. Definitely native 🥰 beautiful mix

I got my results today. I expected to get close to 100% European Jewish. I got 51% European Jewish. I got about 40% African (Cameroon and Nigeria make up most of that). Needless to say, it was a huge surprise.

I just ordered a kit from Ancestry. I've been really wishy washy about getting one but finally said why not. My mom was always told she is a Heinz57. My dad was told he comes from an English and Scotch Irish line of family. I'm supposed to receive my kit today or tomorrow. Guess we will see.

I am mixed 57% north european and 43% west african (caribbean) :) 38% Norwegian 29% Nigerian 9% Swedish 6% Cameroon 5% Benin/Togo 5% German 5% Finnish 2% Ivory Coast 1% Mali

It's so great that you celebrate your diversity!! And that you shared it with us!! thanks so much!

You have beautiful facial features. I am glad you found out all about your ethnicities.

All my ancestors were from north of the Alps. 😄 My results are: 40% Germanic Europe (Central & Northern Germany) 17% Eastern Europe & Russia 13% Sweden & Denmark 12% Ireland 10% England & Northwestern Europe 4% Baltics 2% Scotland 2% Wales

Great mix! You are beautiful!

I’m 60.3% North and West Europe 30.1% Scottish and Irish 4.6% Finnish 3.0% Baltic 2% Ashkenazi Jewish My parents did the dna test and combined they were 100%English 46%Danish and 39%Irish so where did my danish and English go??

One of the words that is next to ethnicity and just as big is the word "estimates." One should not take the results they provide as fact. My initial results from 2017 gave me 0% British, yet my dad's DNA results showed he was 88% British. It is impossible to get 50% of dad's DNA and not get a droplet of British. Over time, as more tests are done, the DNA markers used to determine a region where ancestors may have settled helps refine the ethnicity "estimates" but they are still a dart being thrown at a dart board. Just better aim this time.

Welcome to the fam!!

My y-haplogroup is not so old : 2,600 years. Its from Spain north of the Ebro river. 2200 years ago, my ancestors from there used a Phoenician script for writing their Iberian language. That being said, I only have 5% Iberian DNA mostly through a Portuguese ancestor from the 17th century. Over 2000 years my lineage migrated slowly from Spain to Provence to Italy and then back to France to finally end up in French Canada. Now I'm mostly a mix from France and the British Isles.

I just sent my DNA in to them a few days ago. I did my family tree on it yesterday and it pulled up that John Howland, one of the pilgrims that came on the Mayflower is my 10th Great Grandfather (my Dad's side) through my Grandmother. Then said Edward Doty who also came on the Mayflower is my 11th Great Grandfather on my Mom's side through my Grandfather. And lastly said President Franklin Pierce is my 4th Cousin 7x removed.

My dad was from North Carolina and I have a similar mix of European and African, but mostly Scotland and England with some Camaroon, Congo, and Nigeria. Early North and South Carolina settlers.

Really cool! I knew you were part German when you said Oma XD

Oh my goodness you are so gorgeous to be honest I Couldn’t even focus on what ethnicity you are from how beautiful you look

I loved it!! Thank you for sharing with us, I can't wait to do it myself!

Really doesn't matter how she looks like ...she is gorgeous !!!

I did the dna test too and was so happy that I did it.

100% beautiful.

I have done ancestrydna test aswell as ftdna, myheritage and 23andme. I love tracing my family history.

That’s why you two are beautiful. And I’m sure it’s better for genes too.

I, too, have family that warned about giving DNA to these companies. But seriously, people, have you had a medical, surgical or dental procedure done lately? Did they ask you to sign any kind of waiver regarding what happens to your tissue? What makes you think they don't already have your DNA? I am addicted to Ancestry and My Heritage. Family is fascinating.

This past year for Christmas, I bought myself an ansestry dna test. My results are as follows... Scotland 43% (Very surprising) England/Northwestern Europe 27% Germanic Europe 10% Norway 8% Sweden 7% Wales 3% Ireland 2% I was always told I was German and English. Great video!

Get your Oma and grandmother to do the test. It might help Oma.

My friend is biracial and her results were pretty much exactly the same as yours except the ratio was different. A few months later the results of changed and the Jewish was no longer there and she now has Swedish instead.

Puerto Rican 69% Spain - Canary Islands 16% African - Senegal/Guinea/ Congo 14% Native American - PR

I lived all my life thinking I was full blooded British raised in England by 2 English parents and grandparents English then I found out I'm mostly German. And it shocked me because no one new who was German in my family. Some of my grandparents didn't even know there mum's or dads. So my family was in shock

hi, I haven't taken a DNA test but what I believe I am is 31.25% Scottish, 18.75% Irish, 25% Ashkenazi Jewish from Russia, and 25% I don't know because my grandma is adopted. I would love to take a DNA test eventually and I wonder how my percentages would vary from what I believe. also, I just wanted to say the story about your great-grandmother's father was cool but I did want to say since you are only 2 percent Jewish your great-great-grandfather may have been completely Jewish but it would make more sense if he was half based on your percentage (because you would share approximately 6.25% with him so 3.125% with his parents) but they only way to know would be if your great-grandmother took a DNA test

Congrats !!! 35 percent subsaharian african and 65 percent european! great results , thats shows your beautiful mix! your beauty is unique

My sister and I, as well as our mom, have taken the test and it’s interesting to see the differences in %s of what we inherited. These %s have changed, and some groups have disappeared entirely from our results , in the two-three years since we took our tests as Ancestry’s reference samples grow/expand. I am roughly a 50/50 mix of mom and dad (per my Ancestry DNA results) , my dad’s side is Ukrainian (49%) my mom’s side is Scottish (34%) and English(2%). It also picked up 🇮🇪 (5%), Wales (2%), and German (8%)but as England was invaded by what we would now call Germans, and what we now call Ukraine was at the time that my great grandparents (on both sides of my dad’s family) moved to Canada was part of the Australian-Hungarian Empire it is difficult to know how the Germanic portions split. My sister and my mom’s maternal cousin both picked up 2-3 % European Jewish which sort of makes sense since from the research I have done for my mom’s father’s side his mom’s family lived in the East End of London at a time when it had a larger Jewish population. My 2x great-grandmother’s passport shows that she had dark hair, and dark brown eyes. I took the test more to see if I could solve the mystery of who my dad’s paternal grandfather was, because that is something we have never known. I am pretty sure that I have figured out who it was because I show as matched to several people that don’t show as possible matches to either his mother’s side (my dad’s uncle took the test, as have several of his cousins on that side) or his paternal grandmother’s side where other cousins have taken the test. When I added the relative links of the matches to my tree it brought up a photo of that person’s grandmother which is the spitting image of my grandfather’s younger sister. It showed my ancestors settled in Ontario which I sort of knew as they and their friends helped found a small town(Fergus) . You are right Ancestry tree research is addictive, especially when you are able to solve family mysteries.

my results are 19% Spain, 18% indigenous Puerto rico,18% Portugal 8% England, 7% France, 5% northern Africa ,5% Cameroon Congo bantu people ,3% Nigeria, 3% Senegal, 3% benin &togo ,2% European jewish 2% basque 2%, Middle east, 1% germanic 1% indigenous central america’s, 1% Norway, 1% Sardinia ,1% eastern Europe Russia

I took the dna 🧬 test and it came out 54% West African (mostly Nigeria 🇳🇬) and 46% European (mostly Ireland 🇮🇪).

Would you consider having your great grandma dna tested? The story of her father possibly being Jewish is fascinating!

I feel the same way about the research on there...glad to know I'm not the only one 🙂. Plus If there is some crazy person in my family that needs to be locked up,, I want them to be found.

I am glad you pointed out that in today's age, someone knows what we are doing. Also, for someone that will not send in their DNA for they are afraid. If someone wanted you DNA they could get it very easily, they just need to follow you for a few days.

It’s always good to know where you came from! I also did ancestry some years ago and the results were a blessing many things I didn’t expect ❤❤

Your hair is beautiful

Agree with you. They have the technology to do ALL what u said.

this is so intriguing!i want to try it too!!thanks for this cool video!

Your DNA ethnicity results will always change but your DNA make you are who you are if your mum and dad 🙏🏿👌🏿

DNA testing has led someone into my life and I'm currently waiting on my results to see if our connection is right. If DNA testing is right then he is my son that I did not know I had born in another country. Now I'm wondering whether or not he has any siblings born there...

You are stunning 😍 congratulations, part Jewish ✡, part Hebrew, part Canaanite, part Natufian. You got a bit of the Southern Levant. Represent. I'm 50 percent.

I thought you were biracial until I saw this video! I’m getting my results back soon!🤎

Such a beautiful mix! 😻🌸

You are beautiful 😍. I took it as well and i am 70 % native Indigenous 20% Spanish ahhhhh these are amazing 😍

Thank You!! Cant wait to do this

I can agree with the fact that it’s extremely addicting! Finally another person who understands! Can we be friends please lol.. nobody in my family seems to be interested.. they think I’m a bit weird to be getting sentimental about my great grandmothers baby’s that died really young… but thinking about those baby’s that nobody’s thought about in so long.. imagining the pain of losing their baby.. it’s sad.. I also found a great aunt with 2 marriage records with different husbands within two years but no death or divorce records for the first husband… she was also really young… so I wonder if it was a secret marriage.. I asked and nobody knew.. I smell scandal😂

Your a beautiful mix genes♥️😍

Your ethnicity is nobodies business! The most important identity for me is my identity in Christ!

Love the video. Thanks for sharing guys!

Don't forget that the middle east is part of Asia. In the the Americas "Asian" means "East Asian-type". But for example, in the UK the South Asian population from Pakistan is called Asian. Jewish and Arab ancestry is definitely Asian. Be proud of your West Asian ancestry. I'm sure you are.

Interesting, so about 1/3 African and 2/3 European

Thanks Bre, what a great video ;-) Now that you have your DNA results, I'd love to see you do a review of DNA Romance ;-)

Middle East is in asia..

I am American French and yeah

You and I have a lot of the same ethnicities just in different percentages. That Scotland percentage could also still be England or Northern Ireland. I'm seeing a lot of people online where this is the case. The estimates will change over time. My highest percentage went from Scandinavian to Irish, to English, and now Scotland. When I actually did my family tree most of my ancestors were from Southern England, Northern Ireland, Germany, Nigerian, and Congo.

This was super cool!

That's funny, as soon as I saw you I though "British" and possibly some "French." But it's fair to say you've got a whole lot more going on too: I guess it's easier to notice the bits that are most familar to you, eh!

Test your Grandma/ Great Grandma!!! What a treasure for so many reasons

You and your boyfriend are goals, so pretty.

I'm not surprised with the France. That's because a lot of German have French in their DNA mix and a lot of French have German in their DNA mix.

My results have changed quite a bit from when I first got them 2 years ago. I'm curious to see how you're will change as more info becomes available. Mine said 3% south east asian and 20% german at first and now the asian is gone and the german is down to like 5%. So hold on! Now the majority is english and irish.

I am 93%African and 7%European

You're well spoken, smart, suave, have 'swag' and in the looks dept, you won the genetic lottery. :)

I too am addicted to a sentry!!! Hours slip by...I feel like a detective.

Hey fellow Norwegian and German here as well. My Dads dad came here straight from Norway.

I really recently took a test but I went with my heritage which annoyingly doesn’t split Irish, Scottish and welsh which is what I am the majority of. What I know of my family I think it’s Scottish but it’s still annoying.

Some reviews I saw recently said that the test results for AncestryDNA are taking a very long time. Like some people were saying they sent their kit in around November 2020 and still haven’t gotten it and it’s March 2021. Is this what’s happening for anyone else? How long did yours take to receive?

Great video!! You are so pretty!

Beautiful, poised, warm, young woman

Whatever your dna is, they should make clones. You are a beautiful woman.

I got: 35% 🇮🇪 39% 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 23% 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 3% 🇳🇴

I'm Portuguese: 58,1% Iberian 28,8% England Wales and Scotland 9,2%Greek and Southern Italian 4,0% Northern Italian 2,8% Finnish 2,1 Balkanic A couple of unexpected things. Expected the overlapping with the British Isles because of the Atlantic cultures of the past, namely Keltic. Expected the Italian and eastern Mediterranean overlapping because of the roman empire and the Greek colonies on Iberia. Less expected the Finnish (have no idea) and the Balkanic but in this last case my mtDNA haplogroup comes from central Europe/Balkans, so in the end, makes sense. My male Haplogroup (YDNA) is "I" and it has huge hotpots in the Balkans and in Scandinavia, but since I'm I-Y5282 my subclade overlaps with northern Europe ... probably it has to do with the Germanic Invasions of the Vth century. Conclusion: I believe that Europeans are very mixed among themselves, more than with any other non-European ethnicities. We had dramatic migrations inside Europe in the last 5000 years that are statistically much more important than any other inputs that we may had, for example from former colonies in Africa, South-America or Asia.

I have seen a DNA reaction video with someone who is 100% Native American. There was another too I don't remember the ancestry. As for me, there are 11 and my tree looks Irish and French Canadian in the records. I have 0 French Canadian and three of my four grandparents are from there.

That mix gave you a symmetric face.. very Pretty . :)

Wow!💕 Amazing!

I’m a bit like you: a nice mixture of all sorts including some Arawak Indian from Guyana! My husband did his and he’s 100% Irish/British/Scottish so he felt a bit boring compared to me 😂 You’re a beautiful American!

Welcome to the flock! I am also an Ashkenazi Jew.

This is the first video of yours I've watched. I think it was suggested to me because I've watched a lot of DNA videos, haha. You and your husband are adorable. :) I did a DNA test myself about 2-3 years ago. I was expecting lots of British Isles and Scandinavia, which I got. I was actually super stoked to get some Benin/Togo results, too. I knew I was a "mutt" of European countries, but it felt really cool, as "white" as I look, to find a touch of another continent in there! Although... it's also a bit sad, because I'm guessing I don't have it for happy reasons. History is a complicated, and not always positive, thing.

53% Norwegian eastern 18% Cymraeg, west 14% Scottish, borders 8% Swedish 7% English and Northwest european, borders, Durham & Tyne and Wear. My mum's Nirweguan, my dad's a geordie and Cymru is tge land of my father's mother, Aberystwyth and the Hinterland, sic. Native/indigenous American came from north Asian.

I'm so African I don't even know what to do with it. I shared my DNA results too! You look gorgeous, you remind me of Vanessa Williams. I'm South African American and 100% African but my skin is lighter than most mixed people.

You shouldn't be surprised at having Scottish DNA. Being a part of thr UK the Scotts were alongside the English in their overseas adventures.

The first time a woman looks at me like you do your guy I think I might cry
