I took a DNA test last January with AncestryDNA because I too was interested about my ancestors. The thing about Ancestry DNA is they connect you with relatives you match with. My mother never knew who her father was, well, my DNA results matched me with a woman that turned out to be my aunt, we connected and the history all fit too well because her father was US Military stationed in Germany. My mother and my newfound aunt started chatting as well, then my mom took a DNA test as well and it connected the both of them as sisters. Last month my family got together and met our new long-lost family. Now I got new uncles, a new aunt, and some new cousins.

@bonniephelps9481 2 месяца назад

Just so you know, Ancestry is not the only company who connects you with DNA relatives. 23andme also connects you with DNA relatives on a monthly basis and you can choose to contact them or not.

@WorkNHard 5 лет назад

Similar story, however I tried the AncestryDNA and found my cousin who put me in contact with my father who I thought was deceased. Ended up being the best thing I did, we now have an amazing relationship! I am now turning 45... who knew? Really fascinating, met my whole new family and was welcomed and accepted like I’ve always been there. Awesomeness!!! Thank you for sharing 😊

Echo, I love your light-hearted reflection on your DNA findings. My great-maternal grandfather was an orphan, according to family reports. They talked about the 'orphan train's of the 1800s, in which the hungry, impoverished eastern U.S. families would put their children on board trains. Farm families along the train routes would check these little children out and adopt the ones that looked healthy enough to pitch in with the farm work.

I was stolen as a baby and never knew my ancestry. It was fun to do the test and learn about myself. It is hard for people with no family to feel connected sometimes.

"ring finger longer" is looking at increased testosterone exposure in utereo. It's the length of index finger compared to ring finger. If ring finger longer, you're high test

i really like this channel because of these reasons 1) the voice is quiet and soothing and not very like “BAM” and it’s just like calming to watch 2) it’s an art channel that doesn’t only do art and has so many things and a variety of topics that many audiences can enjoy 3) the styles and aesthetics are amazing and just like soothing to me. i’m really into edgy type aesthetics and styles so it’s really cool 4) she’s AMAZING at explaining stuff. like, the tutorials are easy to follow and i understand them 5) she’s an amazing person. she’s so sweet and caring 🥺🥺 i don’t know why, but i just really wanted to say this because it’s just like this channel is perfect for me i’m new to this channel but i’m here to stay and i’m glad ❤️

@basstrammel1322 6 лет назад

My whole family is so thankful none of us took a test like this before my grandmother died. She was so hateful towards the native people of my country, speaking ill of them regularly decades after she moved to the other side of the country. My brother took the test and we have a big chunk of native blood in our vains :) With a little research it quickly came for a day that it was from her branch of the family, haha :) We assume she knew this very well, and the hatred was just to hide that fact from her new surroundings when she moved. Makes sense in hinesight, but still so wrong.

There is a group called DNA Detectives that helps people search for relatives. You take those ancestry matches and go through family trees to find family members. They have helped many adoptees, foundlings and people who don't know who one parent was connect with family. I have seen foundlings get connected with siblings when they had only 5th cousin links. I am hoping to do the test myself soon and hoping I get some good matches as I know I have a sister but don't know who she is or anything about her. A relative just decided to tell me I have a sister and no other information back in 1997. Hopefully if I find her she is open to connection.

I dont think so. Before watching the video i saw british + mediterranean + a tiny speck of native american. I live in argentina so I can easily distinguish features like hers.

Be sure to periodically check 23andme as they periodically update their tech and they can give you updated information about yourself. In my case, some of my "trace amounts" got shifted from one area to another. Considering how borders shifted as our ancestors moved over the centuries I can see that. It's like a story that keeps unfolding!
