Shocking DNA Results | 23&Me | Tahiti Rey 

ShaunieBNaturalista Right!? What were you the most shocked by in your results?

Thank you Olivia! Come back to visit Hawaii soon!

Sea Life Park was one of my favorite places.

Film Life Vlog thank you! 🙏🏼🥰

Haha! :-)

Same

you do realize,,,,,,,,,tribes dont use this test for anything,,,,,,,,do your research sweetie :)

Not me, I didn't expect and didn't get any Native American. I was surprised to see though that I am about 6% Greek Balkan so maybe I am a little bit Greek like my Greek husband. I am also showing a smidgeon of Ashkenazi which I did not expect.

So cool! Thanks for sharing!

Crls Ry Wow I didn’t know that! 😊

Yeah Tainos were unfortunately killed off by those Racist Spaniards who brought their diseases over there and infected Alot of the Taino people..

@@405boy4 wrong. Try again.

​@Nanjimoy Al Kursi You're forgetting that the Spanish raped and enslaved the Tainos. The Taino were considered extinct 30 years after European contact meaning there are no FULL blooded Tainos 30 years after European contact. In those 30 years the Taino that were enslaved mixed with the African slaves and Europeans leaving behind a mixed offspring that survived. This explains why modern day Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans have small amounts of Taino DNA obviously percentages vary from person to person. According to some people in the islands some Taino managed to escape deep into the mountains or inland where the Spaniards couldn't get them and existed long after the supposed extinction. But by now have probably mixed in with everyone else. Remember these historical facts were recorded by the Spaniards so they wouldn't know if some lived in the mountains or not since it was out of their reach (not saying this is true). At the time of European contact there were an estimated 4-6 million Taino across the greater antilles. The Spaniards declared them extinct after 90% of their population was either wiped out by disease or killed leaving the last 10% unaccounted for.

@@405boy4 if they were "killed off", there would be very little to no trace of Taino dna in today's Puerto Ricans. Out of the Caribbean islands, including Spanish-speaking Caribbean, Puerto Ricand have the highest percentage of Taino dna with and average of 10-20 percent. While many pure natives were killed, there was also lots of intermixing which explains the "mix".

405 BOY most of them returned to Venezuela coasts and mountains , they still exist . They never died because they are strong 💪

Yes we are!

All Hispanics have those results, super diverse.

L Brown me too!!

KeepingitKlassy 44 does this work if you do ancestry dna but want to see 23 and me results?

@@carlswoolf4544 It doesn't. Both let you download your genome but won't let you upload your genome from a different company.

I agree, everyone should have this knowledge!

Haha! Crazy huh?!

@@hiphipjorge5755 no I am barbadian

Lord Beasley 😂I know right! Any justification we’ll take! 👜

Where does that southeast Asian come from?

JSkillz bwahhhh, I’ve never been, so maybe I’ll change my tune once I visit! 😂

@@TahitiRey Haha, don't let me put you off it, most visitors seem to like it. For most English people it's a little too crowded, expensive, security/traffic cameras everywhere, and you'll hear a LOT of languages other than English (not necessarily a bad thing). The architecture is pretty cool though, the transport network is good (but expensive), and the museums are free. You'll have to do a vlog of your trip if you ever go!

Fo real!!! :)

The native american come from América, different tribes around the continent. One thing is sure, the only places where there are americans is in the countries where they speak spanish. The Spanish mixed with the people, the British, U.S etc exterminate them.

Very true!

Crls Ry yeah I feel like such a dumb dumb for not knowing it’s origin! I just thought it was Puerto Rican/Cuban! 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m so excited to know I am truly Spanish and Portuguese now though!!! 😍 Very Proud!

Many people forget that puerto ricans are mixed race people who speak spanish. Spanish, italian, french, portuguese, and romanians are the true Latins.

Richard Myles ya I had no idea!

Tahiti Rey it’s ok I consider it a learning experience. Many Southern Europeans have middle eastern ancestry so the whole thing gets convoluted

Crls Ry she’s not avoiding Spain because she’s not spanish she’s Portuguese it says it.

add your dna to gedmatch its free and way more reliable than 23andme , i used 23andme too , i was shocked by the results i got from them BUT gedmatch made me understand with time how that could be , migration too, and more the names i got on 23andme matched many of the romany community of the world , turned out my father and mother are both Romany descent by 50 percent each , and their parents too , an back , Sinti Romany , i am a real mutt and proud of all i am , here are my family surnames that are the highest found , Family names Smith (42) Brown (23) Johnson (21) Taylor (18) Williams (17) Wilson (15) Davis (14) Martin (14) Anderson (13) Green (13) Jones (13) Lewis (12) Miller (12) White (11) Clark (10) Carter (9) Evans (9) Harris (9) King (9) Price (9) Rey and Ray in my relations and lee, leigh , lea , May, Meigh and Mayo , lol my family clearly liked spelling things their way , no joking , regions of england had different ways of spelling till just over 100 years ago , explains all but the mayo...

so one last thing , your fathers fathers dna , some times does not show up in a female childs dna at all , test a brother for that , oh and your mothers fathers too can be tiny amounts , test mothers brother for that

a lot of italians emigrated to the southern americas , not always known, many were infact romany , running from abuse in europe , and jewish italians too did that

hunter gatherer , that just means ancient , all humans were hunter gatherers at some point , i would say the shopping is the jewish , hahahahaha i hate shopping , i am part jew but i do hate paying , really hate the paying part , lol

by fact , i have more right to be in usa than trump, i have native ancestry, he does not , i am a brit , hahahahaha

That would be cool!

Jose vasquez 🤔 I’d say I identify as a English, Irish, Afro-Cuban/Puerto Rican at heart.

steve boy “For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half-known life.” -Herman Melville, Moby Dick

+Tahiti Rey do you know much of the culture of tahiti

steve boy no I wish, I’ve never been. I hear it’s beautiful and they speak French there!

+Tahiti Rey yeah it is nice thats my people

You must be a U.S. American citizen, obsessed with race.

Jillian92 😂 My 2 best friends in the world are Jewish and they are my favs 😍 That was why I was sooo excited! Haha 😂

There are Jewish in every race group and they seem to have a certain marker so it's important to point it out but you are right, it's not a race. There are Jewish people who have done the test and it comes back as Ashkenazi Jewish (end of the story) which frustrates them because they want to know more about their heritage. "Living dna" gives Jewish people more info on that.

Huh?

????? Snow flake much?

@@nillyk5671 Shut the whole "f" up! I said what I said and meant it every word. Snowflakes are white and eventually go away....on that note....go away! 🙄
