Hey just found this video! Interesting to hear from you, someone who knows what he's talking about! Since I shot this I've done SO much research, looked through parish records and other documents, physically searched graveyards with success. It's been updated since, has me currently as 70% Scottish, 24% Irish and Welsh, 4% English, and 2% Norwegian. My grandmother, who supposedly had the half-Indian father, also did this DNA test before she died, and it came back with nothing from that part of the world either. Mysterious :p

@salemsmith2878 Год назад

I suppose it is also possible that no one was ever actually half Indian, yet were residents of India during that time. Like maybe that guy had just had dark hair and people just assumed he was mixed when in fact he was not?

@-_YouMayFind_- 5 дней назад

My grandma is darker as well in the sense that she tans quick and has dark hair, dark eyes and so we thought she was at least Southern European. She ended up being 100% North-Western European. No South European or any Asian or even African. Although weirdly enough 23andme does show North-African in mine and my fathers results. Coptic Egyptian and Levantine as well but just very small percentages. My haplogroups come from those places so maybe that's why. The paternal haplogroup interestingly is more common in North-Africa, West Asia or Southern Italy, but my grandma is not related to my father at all. My grandma actually has a very common Western European haplogroup haha. People in my own country get confused when they see me especially people that are not native Dutch. They think I am Eastern European haha. A guy was surprised I had a typical Dutch name even though I live in The Netherlands haha, but the Spanish do think I am a real typical Dutch looking person, so that is a mystery as well. I do think I have less Scandinavian so maybe that somehow influenced my looks. I look more German/Dutch. My dad looks more French. MyAncestry showed me that I am: 57% Germanic Europe (which is mainly Dutch and Belgium although I know I have German in my family tree), 28% English, 11% Norwegian. 2% Denmark/Sweden. 2% Scottish. So I am a bit Scottish too maybe. We went to Scotland in 2008 which I loved. My Heritage says I am now 100% Dutch haha

@gj1234567899999 2 дня назад

This is just like the genealogy of Pocahontas. Her family tree is well established. She married an Englishmen , and all subsequent generations married Europeans. So she has confirmed thousands of descendants since the 1600s but because of the length of time, none of them would show her DNA anymore even though they can confirm the lineage. So if one of her descendants says she has Native American ancestry yet her DNA test show she is almost 100% European, it doesn’t mean she is a liar.

@Chaotic_Pixie 2 года назад

She had a better grasp than most people. I'd love to see her do a follow up video where she looks at that aunt's admixture and maybe a relative of the same generation or further back of the other side of her family tree. She actually reminds me a lot of myself. She'd be a fun one to trace her genealogy. And I hope no one finds this weird of me to say but her excitement and cheerfulness around her ancestry project is adorable and infectious! Its rare to see someone so excited doing these videos.

@GazilionPT 2 года назад

Her Norwegian DNA probably comes from the Isle of Skye, which had a strong Nordic presence. Even if the Norwegian rule over those islands is further back than a DNA test can reach, the fact that the Hebrides are islands promotes endogamy, so the descendants of those Old Norwegians didn't mix as much with Scottish mainlanders.

@@agresticumbra it makes me wonder what Mister Owl's natural hair color is and if Severine could also take after his side.

@Richard-zm6pt 2 года назад

It's possible her great grandfather was only thought to be son of an Indian woman. It may be his father had a relationship with an English woman in his circle of acquaintances there, and of course, your thought that whoever the woman was, she might have been mixed is as likely.

@barghast 2 года назад

I've been hoping for this one! So glad to see you react to It's Black Friday. I'd love to know how much more she's done on her tree since this test, whether she's made any progress researching the possible Indian branch.

@Oishionna 11 месяцев назад

I am Australian and have 20% Scandinavian ancestry. I have researched my family tree for years and can confirm that I have no recent Scandinavian ancestors. I do however have ancestors from Yorkshire, Lancashire and southern Scotland and a couple from Germany and the Netherlands. DNA matches with ancestors from the same regions also have a reasonably large amount of Scandinavian DNA.

When I was at the genealogy library, looking for information on my great great grandfather from France, I knew the approximate years that he was possibly born in. I found quite a few with his name from the town that he was born in. Fortunately for me, I also had his marriage license for his 3rd marriage that included his parents’ names. I was able to figure out which birth record was his by process of elimination. So, I have his French birth record.

@karmagal78 2 года назад

I still have people that try to attach him to other parents, give him an incorrect birthday, and attach the incorrect records to him. Records do help. A lot.

@DieezahArts 2 года назад

You would have been in a world of difficulties had his last name been a super common one like MARTIN or MICHEL... to make matters worse, lots of French last names also exist as first names or they are derived from occupations... so two people with the same last name, even in the same region doesn't always means much in terms of familial bond...

@julilla1 2 года назад

I definitely agree that she needs to look at those cousin matches and see if any of them are testing with Indian.

@jenx2512 2 года назад

You never know how DNA is going to be passed down. My mother is 100% European, with 46% being German/French. I'm very mixed and got 21% of the German, with my daughter getting 7% and my granddaughter just got her test back and she has 0%. That's only one example, as my daughter and granddaughter both don't carry A LOT of DNA I carry, at least with the current technology. We think we "generally" get half of our DNA from our parents, but I have found a lot can get squeezed out in just a few generations.

@jamesvejvoda2659 2 года назад

She was fun! I also think her ancestor could be even further back than she expects. The Brits were in India since the early 1700s so her GG-grandfather could have only been a fraction Indian, which could still be enough for a racist family member to make it a thing (and maybe the family lore unintentionally twisted the amount he was from there?). She looks like she's only 28-32 years old here so she could be just young enough to have not inherited any of that. Another fun video. Thanks!

@AndrewMartinIsHere 2 года назад

Good to point out the timespan of the autosomal tests, easily forgotten. Living somewhere doesn’t make you genetically ‘from’ a country, it’s similar to only eating sushi doesn’t make you Japanese. Maybe her Indian connections are earlier than the test, or maybe the relative she thought was from India was born there whilst their parents were working there as part of the British Empire’s invasion.

@virre1981 2 года назад

The UK and Ireland has had a lot of connection with west coast Scandinavia (Sweden/Norway) through history (Trade by sea), to the level that IIRC there is traces of it in regional folk music in West Coast Scandinavia. So makes sense for some of that. Also I mean history kind of imply that at least much of England had a "French" connection if we go back enough (With a given value of "French", also connection might be just was French but that won't show in DNA traces this long up the family trees)

@Swampzoid Год назад

I got 2% South Asian on my DNA test. That seemed interesting to me. My overall results were 98% European. British, Irish, Scandinavian most all of it. So, the 2% South Asian I figured was ancient DNA but I'm leaning now from this video that it's probably from only the past few hundred years.

@unn5443 Год назад

Probably from some Roma

@DieezahArts 2 года назад

It's funny you should mention the increased possibility of finding the inherited Indian in a relative from an older generation. That was also my understanding even before my dad got tested a few months after I did and his DNA turned out to show some south Indian. People kept telling me I look like I'm mixed but of Indian descent. I had zero reason to believe it was the case. We do have relatives of undeniable Indian ancestry but they are my dad's second or third cousins. It's pronounced Géné-A-net and there are many people like me on there, thanks to colonialism... So many continental French people, continental European folks and those like me who are of mixed ancestry, born and raised in a French colony far from Europe... (Caribbean in my case)

@karmagal78 2 года назад

At some point I need to have another look at my dad’s side. Maybe do the Y testing and the mitochondrial testing done. I know that there’s German on his side, but, with the updates from when he took the test on ancestry, the percentage of German has now disappeared entirely. His Germans came from Knittelsheim, Germany, from what I’ve researched.

@RoelStein 2 года назад

It’s indeed interesting to know where the viking part is coming from. Must be the Viking raids after all. although it’s long ago. I have the same problem. Living in Holland (German lastname), but my dna says i’m Viking, Scotisch, English and Irish (and some Iberian). I have about 12000 people in my tree. And they all come from Holland. (Offcouse i done have all the breaches 500 years back. But the Viking thing really seams longer ago. (if i look in to the DNA matches i have it's totally other matter. They are scattered all over the world.)

@julia2jules 2 года назад

My family come from north east Scotland. One line were fishing families. One of the census has them staying overnight in Shetland with other fisher families from Norway. This was in the late 1800s. My mum has 4% Norway. I am 100% Scottish

@patrickm3981 2 года назад

The Norse did not only raiding, but they also were traders and conquered territory and created settlements there. In the video she said that a lot of her ancestors originate from the isle of Skye. Parts of this island had been settled by Norwegian settlers while the Hebrides were under Norwegian rule during medieval times. Later it came under Scottish rule and over time the descendants of the Norwegian settlers mixed with the natives. She might have a lot of ancestors that can trace back to Norway if you only go far enough back. Therefore she might have inherited small bits of Norwegian DNA through several lines that then add up to this 4%. Concerning Holland I don't know. Maybe it has to do with the times of the Hanseatic League when Norway was an important trade partner. Maybe not only goods but also people from Norway ended up in Holland.

My dad's side is slowly becoming more clear, he was adopted, doesn't appear to be any relation there, but my question is why? She's the only one who's def not a first cousin, or half cousin, or a half uncle or aunt, as far as I know in the family tree, but she shows up as more closely related than my actual half uncle...on my dad's side. Why would this be?

@kiek7063 2 года назад

Hi, my family lives in the Netherlands, but from the seventh generation (born 1724) there are 100% from France. Is there a dnatest that differentiates between France origine and Northwest european? Could the result be I have inherited more French DNA than calculated on paper? Then it might be worth trying that DNA test. Thank You!

@mompofelski4191 2 года назад

Maybe she just got the British part of her 2Great Grampa? Did any of her siblings or cousins get the Indian DNA or her parents?

@leehallam9365 2 года назад

@djoris6423 2 года назад

I just received my results and to my surprise I was 17.6% Scandinavian and 3.4% Finnish. (the rest was as expected, northwestern European). I have one unknown second great grandfather but the rest I know is all Dutch or German/Belgian. I know Scandinavian is close to NW European, but Finnish seems quite far away to be a misread of NW European. Is it possible that all Scandinavian/Finnish is from that one 2x GGrandfather or am I going to look for another unknown person? Or did Myheritage just overestimate those readings?

@chijanofuji 2 года назад

Hi D Joris. Your results (mainly Northwest European and Scandinavian with some small percentage of something else - in your case Finnish) are complete normal for someone whose known ancestors are from the Netherlands, Germany or Belgium. The 3.4% Finish may or may not mean you have someone who was completely (one of your 32 3rd great-grandparents) or partially (2 of of your 64 4th great grandparents, etc) Finnish. I wouldn't go looking for a Finish ancestor solely based on your MyHeritage ethnicity results alone. I would advise you to download you raw DNA from My Heritage and upload it to GedMatch and FamilyTreeDNA to see what they say first.

@neulasia 2 года назад

myheritage (and doing genealogy) is quite popular with finns, so if your ancestor is recent, there's a decent chance of finding distant cousins, and possibly resolving the mystery man. so hopefully you have the match finding option open. good luck!

@alphadog3384 2 года назад

What would be interesting is to find out how surnames came about in both Christian and Jewish communities.

@theresamnsota3925 2 года назад

A lot of surnames are based on professions: Cooper, Miller/Müller, Smith, Farrier, Becker. Then there are the patrynomic surnames: Johnson, Anders(s)on, O’Brien, McKenzie. The Scandinavian/Nordic names are probably the best known. When researching the Norwegian branch of my tree, I have both patrynomic and non-patrynomic surnames. My g-g-grandfather who came to the States from Norway was born at a time when his surname was not his father’s given name with the suffix of -son added. His surname and his father’s surname was the name of the farm they lived on. But his grandfather’s generation and earlier was things like Bjornsson and Bjornsdottir. I don’t know anything about other European naming traditions. But I agree, a video about surnames would be interesting.

@Seahorse20 Год назад

European Jewish surnames were changed from Hebrew surnames. Some are ornamental like Waldhorn, which means forest horn, or Goldstein which means Gold stone. Some are based on occupations like Flaschner, which means plumber, or Schneider which means tailor. Some are based on appearance like Schwartz which means black or swarthy, or Braun which means brown (as in brown hair or eyes), or Szwarcbard (black beard). Some are based on locations, like Wiener which means from Vienna, Unger which means Hungarian, or Litvak which means Lithuanian. Others are religious like Cohen, Singer, and Cantor.

@duckpotat9818 Год назад

A lot of Indians from North (Punjab, Haryana, Kashmir etc) will show up as partially West Asian themselves because of invasions and migrations. India is a continent sized country so there's a lot of diversity and migrations like Europe For ex if a Hungarian shows up as central Asian, it would not be surprising despite them living in Europe.

@davidwood5884 2 года назад

Possibly nothing … anything under 2% sometimes disappears when the sites update their data profiles. Native American can be those communities native to north and South America. A way to check the potential validity of the data being Native American is to find a shared dna segment of that type with someone with a much higher percentage.

@theresamnsota3925 2 года назад

I think you would also need to look at your other ethnicities. For example, any Scandinavian/Nordic DNA? I ask because I saw an article this past summer or fall about a small segment of people in Iceland, that have Native American/First Nations DNA in their mix. Combine that with another recent article where historians and archeologists believe the Norse explorers were in North America for longer than originally believed, it wouldn’t be out of the question that there would be a mix of two seemingly unrelated populations. Iceland is an interesting situation. When the Norse explorers were traveling west to settle Iceland, they would make pit stops in Scotland and Ireland to gather supplies, riches, and women. So there is a strong Celtic DNA in the very homogeneous Icelandic population. I have to believe that after their time in North America that they brought either Indigenous women or children back with them as well. After 1000+ years of the island nation’s history, I would imagine Indigenous DNA is a small percentage, but it’s there.

@chromegirl7546 2 года назад

Men in the British army stationed in India often had Indian mistresses (not wives, as legally, they couldn't marry them), and had children with them. Up to a third are thought to have done this. They usually provided financially for their children. If the children were light-skinned and could pass for being English, they sometimes were sent to boarding school in England. Later in the 19th century, British women were sent to India to find a British mate, so the practice of having an Indian mistress became much less common. I think that my small amount of Indian DNA may have come from this.
