Light skin Mexicans: “I’m Aztec🙋🏼‍♂️” Dark skin Mexicans: “I’m Spaniard 🙋🏾‍♂️”

Glad to see you guys use Ancestry DNA as I feel they are the most accurate ones.

I took mine a couple years ago and was really surprised. I can’t say it was completely accurate, but who knows… It said that I was 100% indigenous, then that it was actually 99% and 1% Spanish. I’m from the State of Guerrero, but according to my DNA my ancestors are all from Mexico City and Arizona in the US; Aztec and like 40% Hopi. I’m often mistaken for an Asian; particularly Filipino/Vietnamese, and because I’m from Guerrero I thought I’d have some Asian, but that wasn’t the case. That said, my father side are mostly white and my mom side has both cuz my grandpa was indigenous. Short story long, I started doubting that my father is actually my father, but don’t really care cuz him and I don’t get along to begin with. I just hope that if there are any secrets my mom will tell me one day…

First it's called a Kilt not a skirt , did mine just to confirm some story's in my family about my great grandfather being half Jewish from my fathers side and that there is Iraqis in my mother's family turns out the answer to both is yes as well as Irish , Scottish , Welsh French and German a lot of Irish and Scots but we already knew that part both my mother's grandfathers were born there and my fathers Da three older siblings were born in Wales but ne was one of the four born in Ohio and my grandmother was born in Germany, and Kevin just needs to look at his father to know what he's going to end up looking like when he's older and Jennifer just remember this your a beautiful young woman with a heart of pure gold.

Both of y’all look indigenous/ Native American! Beautiful to see that y’all are proud of your native heritage :)

I'm Swedish, and my DNA result was 78,8 % Scandinavian and 13,9 % Finnish and 7,3 % Baltic.

I'm from Puebla ! But ....some of the soldiers were captured after the war with France...stayed in Mexico and I traced my ancestry back Lyon France...light green eyes and dirty blond hair ....I'm so proud to be mexican !!!

I’m adopted and I knew I was half Finnish but I learned recently that I was also half Mexican, specifically a quarter indigenous, a fifth Iberian and trace amounts from Africa. I’m glad both of you were satisfied with your results, it’s very sweet that you both did this together.

Well, my story is a long one, so here it goes as short as I can make it. For 60 years, I believed I was half Mexican half Cuban. With my dad being Mexican from Michuacan, so basically Indigenous and Spanish. My mom being Cuban, with her father being from Spain and also her maternal grandfather being from Spain. Well, for Christmas 2019, my son and daughter-in-law exchange Ancestry DNA kits. When my son's results came back, he told me "Mom you are adopted." My response was,"What are you talking about?!" "No I'm not!" To which he replied, "in my result, there is no DNA from Mexico, Cuba, or Spain." My response was,"What our family lived in Spain for hundreds of years and never married any Spaniards?!" Yes, I was in total denial, nothing about what the DNA revealed was sinking in. For my birthday in 2020, my son and his family gave me an Ancestry DNA test kit. I take the test, and the results show 45% Greece and Albania, 21% England and Northwestern Europe, 17% Scotland, 6% Wales, 5% Ireland, 4% Southern Italy, and 1% Finland. No Mexico, No Cuba, No Spain. So, as far as I have figured out, I was probably born in Chicago (my mother was born there, and so are my half-siblings that I have found). I was adopted by my parents and never told. They both have passed away. My cousins (adoptive) all knew and never said a word because as far as they are concerned, I am their cousin. So I now say I'm a Culturally Hispanic American. Because you can not belong to a Mexican or Cuban family and not be proud of your Hispanic Heritage. I tell everyone if you want to take a DNA test, think of the worst thing you can think of that you would find in your results and if you can live with that take it, if not don't because it might just change your life. Mine sure has I was the only child of a Mexican/Cuban couple to being one of 8 half-siblings of European American parents. I have a lot of questions, and no one to answer them. My biological mother has passed, and I have not figured out who my biological father is or was.

There is no such thing as “Mexican blood” Mexicans are a mix of Indigenous American and Iberian and native americans came from Asian and adapted to the Americas so all indigenous American’s are related to Asians and spain was invaded a lot by the arabs so they are mixed with North African and also some Mexicans have west African blood due to the slave ships coming to the Americas

The reason why your family in Zacatecas doesn't associate with indigenous groups is that most of them assimilated into the larger Hispanic/Mestizaje culture during the colonial era. It is one of the states with the lowest amount of Indigenous people (and those who identify as such are usually recent migrants from other states).

I took one of these tests a few years ago and in that process I found out my dad is not my biological father. The man who was my biological father died from a massive heart attack at 41. In the process I gained two half- siblings, and I'm now closer to them than I am to my brother that I grew up with. I don't think I would publish my findings the way you have due to the sensitive nature. I don't know if my mother knows or if my dad knows or if this info would surprise them or do their 37 year marriage severe harm. I am also the only of my siblings who had remained close with my dad, so I would hate to damage that mental image of our relationship for him, and make him believe "none of his children care about him. " I also feel very much like Jenny, that humans are messy and I don't judge my mother or anyone for the choices she made as basically a child, at 18. I know I was still fumbling around and finding my way in the world at that age. And her parents weren't very good guides to her either, I feel like she was in a way just thrown to the wolves and left to find her own way. So long story short, this is going with me to my grave. Anyone I've told this to (coworkers, etc) have reacted very strongly and with judgements about my mother. I respect Jenny so so so much after this video for being so empathetic and non- judgmental. It's a very mature stance to take imo, and the sign of being able to really imagine yourself in someone else's shoes and empathize with their actions and not judge them harshly because we are all humans

Cool! Interesting how there’s a lot of similarities. I’m also Mexican American. My results are 62 % indigenous Mexico. 13% Spain. 9%portugal. 4% basque. No one ever thinks I’m Mexican. I’m always mistaken for Asian! I also have freckles and Caucasian skin.

It’s amazing that we are the first generation that has the ability to view our ancestry through DNA. I find everyone’s story so interesting. I’m looking forward to your future videos on the topic. I have actually discovered relatives of mine that live in Chicago that I never knew existed.

Jenny, my parents are also from southern Zacatecas ❤ maybe we are distant cousins 😂 My traits were also concentrated in Zac. & into AZ & TX. I inherited abt 53% indigenous DNA which inspired me to learn about my family’s past. I connected with some elderly fam. members & learned how they had direct ties to the land & even an indirect role in the Mexican revolution & the raids lead by Pancho Villa. I feel like these Revolution stories were a distant dream written in a text book until now. I have so much appreciation for our indigenous ancestors & what they went through all those centuries. This excitement for our roots has really changed the narrative of indigenous ppl from negative to positive in my family especially amongst the white Mexicans on my mom’s side of the fam LOL. We are visiting Zac. this summer with the goal to gather old records and antique photos of our family. Arriba los Chichimecas-Zacatecos, the people of the grasslands 🙌🏽

I took one of those tests and the results were anticlimactic lol. It said I’m 80% mesoamerican, 7% Greek and a smaller percentage of a bunch of other ethnicities. I was surprised that I don’t have Spanish DNA since my mom is really light skinned and my last name is Torres. Record keeping is not a thing in Michoacán MX where I was born so my knowledge about my ancestry really only goes up to my grandparents and some vague anecdotes about my great grandparents. I’m hoping to pay for a genealogy study of my ancestry so I can have a professional look into the matter but I also don’t know who to trust. It’s not like I can just google businesses that can do that in Michoacán lol

It can be disconcerting when the results come back. We found out that my father was not my brothers father which of course freaked my brother out. My mother apparently had suspected but they never pursued it even by the time dna tests were available it was many years passed and the lie had became the truth and both parents well all 3 parents...had passed away so the dna told the history. SURPRISE!

Only a small percentage of Mexican precolumbian people's were Aztecs.

great video! Thanks for sharing your results and personal stories with us. Haha I chuckled out loud when Jenny called herself an Aztec princess. When I was in HS my AOL AIM username was AztekBeauty hahaha. I am dying to do one of those DNA tests. I am pretty sure that I am at least 60% indigenous.

That's what happened. Spain DID NOT come to wipe out the original people's. Be proud of ALL your backgrounds.

I’m half Irish half Puerto Rican and here are my results ⬇️ 49% Ireland 12% Portugal 10% Indigenous Puerto Rico 7% Spain 6%Cameroon/Congo and Western Bantu Peoples 3% France 3% England Wales and Northwestern Europe 2% Senegal 2% Nigeria 2% Sweden and Denmark 2%Basque 1% Khoisan,Aka and Mbuti Peoples 1% Sardinia I’m taking a 23andMe one soon. Nice results guys!

lol not really surprising based on looks, but interesting.

Im so proud of you Jenny 🤍🤍 It warms my heart to see you being so open 🤍🤍

Being Mexican is not the same as being Indigenous...

I'm half Iberian, half celt-roman mestizo , another half berber and another one lusitan and phoenician

Who's your daddy ???!!! sounds like a judge tv paternity show...get over it..Who was creeping around ???? Get to the point and stop talking so much...!!!!..Your probably brother and sister....Tee hee heeee

That was interesting, thanks. I have to commend you on actually having basic knowledge of history and geography. I've watched a lot of these DNA test videos, and it is astounding how ignorant some RU-vidrs are. I've seen several people of Mexican descent that were surprised they had Spanish ancestry. It's like, where did you think the language came from? So it was refreshing to listen to two people who actually knew what they were talking about. Kudos.

AMERICA IS A CONTINENT A continent is a large continuous mass of land conventionally regarded as a collective region. There are seven continents: Asia, Africa, North America,Centro America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.. its called UNITED STATES!!!

I felt so bad for you in this video because I could see how emotional you were throughout it🥺, I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug. Does the dna test you took have the part where you can see “people you’re related to” who also took the test? Maybe that could give you insight into your paternal lineage (by looking at their results). If I were you, I would get my siblings to do the tests too, just to compare. Also, you never know, if mom was married at the time you were born there may be a chance her husband was actually your father.

No me hace falta ver el vídeo para saber que que saldrá al menos un 30 o 40% de la península ibérica

Super interesting findings! Proud of you Jenny for sharing your story!!

Is it me, or did he not seem too excited about his African roots 🤔 I think it’s great that you’re so proud of your brown skin, but where do you think it came from 🤷🏽‍♀️😆

Thank your for sharing this adventure! I have taken a few dna tests but my first one was also to help sort out who my father was and learn about my heritage I inherited from him. It has been a wonderful adventure although not always easy. I look forward to seeing more about your journey. BTW. The first test is also how I found out that my paternal grandfather was from Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤

I took the Ancestry test as I was adopted and always wondered I am Irish & Indigenous. The Indigenous part was from Sonora . I am trying to find out more on that history but have stopped at the moment because I found my birth mother!

So interesting! I've been wanting to do this for YEARS. The only thing I know for sure is that I'm 25% Mexican because of my bisabuelos were both born in MX but beyond that it's all question marks 😛

Love ❤️ from Africa we love Mexicans long live

I thought you were Asian, I have family members who look Asian so its interesting how Mexicans which I am can look Asian and not be related. My sister took the test and had like 11% Cuban, I thought that was interesting and it isn't common for Mexicans to have but Spain was the majority of her DNA. Family trees are the same but genetic representation varies so even if I have ancestry from a place it doesn't mean I inherited their genetics which is a fascinating concept since many people probably think of genetic tests like a family tree scheme of things when it's not. So am I really 11% Cuban because my sister is? I don't know.

My wife and I both took the Ancestry test a few years ago. Pretty much what we thought. Keep in mind that the percentages will change over time as they get more information.

Looks like my earlier comment got deleted, provably because I sited a source. Thank you Kevin and Jenny for sharing your DNA results and for making yourselves vulnerable. I took the Ancestry test a while back and it was interesting to see the results, the results have changed and evolved in the last few years as more people get tested and databases data samples become more rich. I also recently took a test with a different company 23.... and they gave me similar results, both 30% indigenous and 70% Europeans mainly Portugal and Spain. Ancestry recently introduced a feature that allows you to see your split origin maternal/paternal. My Mexican heritage shows up similar to Jenny from southern Zacatecas. I created a large family tree going back eight generations to the early 1700s using free resources from familysearch. The second company has a family tree that sort of builds on it's own to show the relationships with the DNA matches. A lot of the Spanish migration to Zacatecas was related to mining and later they settle there as farmers. If one day I bump into you guys in Queretaro I would be happy to show you my results and share some of my research experiences and challenges, who knows maybe we are distant relatives, my family name is Sanchez. Have fun in Colombia and bailen mucho.

Just like Colombians. I don’t understand why we are different than you guys. If we are not🇨🇴❤❤🇲🇽

Un mestizaje clásico de la mayoría de los mexicanos indígenas, españoles y en menor proporción portugués, italiano y sefardita. Los españoles traían su mezcla anglo sajona y musulmana y negra que fueron los amores secretos de todos los colonianistas, en resumen mexicanos de una nueva patria México conformada por españoles e indígenas

I did my ancestry dna test in 2019 my results were 46% indigenous Americas Mexico 16% basque 16% Spain 10% Portugal 2% North Africa 2% Ireland 1% Senegal 1% Mali 1% Cameroon Congo& western Bantu peoples 1% Egypt 1% indigenous Americas Bolivia and Peru 1% Jewish 1% Eastern Europe& Russia 1% england&northwestern Europe I’ve always been told by my mom and aunts that my great grandfather and great great grandfather were white and had blue eyes and light colored hair and their family were originally from Guanajuato and my grandmothers dad was also white with blonde hair and blue eyes and both of my great grandmothers were tan and had hazel eyes and my grandmothers family also came from Guanajuato then moved to Michoacán

The term "Mexican American" sounds so ridiculous to me, all Mexicans are Americans, so are Canadians, Brazilians, Colombians, etc... and Mexico is not only in America (the continent) but even in North América.

Good video, I took a test and found out that the person I thought was my dad was not my father, I am 46 ya, crazy, and my sisters are only half-sisters 😢

THE HATE IS REAL!! I love how they both skipped over the African Part..😂

My dna results were not as detailed as y’all’s and I wish they were!! I did it thru the University of Michigans research program for free which is great but now I’m wondering if I should pay for Ancestry DNA for a full breakdown. 🤔 Nevertheless, I was surprised to know I am only 28% Native America(dads family has been in Texas for over 4 generations and my moms side is from Aguas Calientes). I really thought I’d be more Mexican than that! 😂 Instead, I was surprised to know I’m 55% European. I knew we had some Spanish blood because my maternal grandpa is 2nd gen removed from Spain(his grandparents originated in Spain) and my maiden name is Hinojos which is a town in Spain. We also just confirmed my Grandpas stories were true that we are from a lineage of the King of Spain. Apparently the Kings daughter was sent on business to Mexico and was disowned and cut off from the royal family after she fell in love with the Aztec prince. So your joke about being an Aztec princess made me laugh. Now, how true that whole story is might never be known but it’s a fun possibility. 😂 The real shocker was the 16% West Asian-North African part of me. I’ve been out and about with my mom and sis when we were stopped by a random guy and asked if we were Persian. We chuckled and said no. Turns out he knew better than we did back then. 🤣 All that to say that I was raised in the Mexican culture and I take great pride in it and all that comes with it….even if my Spanish is terriblé! 😊 Thanks for sharing y’all! First vid I’ve ever seen of yours and I’m now subbed. ❤

😅Frausto has nothing to do with the Apache tribe. Its totally European from Spain.

I just love you guys! Your courage is inspiring. DNA is so interesting because us humans ARE so messy. My family is messy. I”ve made messes and I have yet to meet anyone who’s family is not at least a little messy. One of my closest friends recently discovered through DNA that her father is not her bio father and all her siblings are 1/2 siblings. She’s adjusting. It’s the shame we attach to it all that is no bueno. Watching your video and reading all the interesting comments, now I too want to take a DNA test and I never thought I would. Thank you❤❤❤

I see how unimpressed he was when he mentioned his African roots but he perked right up and smiled when he read that he was only 3% Irish. I am so sick of these negative feelings about Africans.

I love how all of us are dicovering this stuff, decolonizing our minds, I also love to hear that most people are proud to be indigenous, all I can say is that we all have been told líes about our ancestors, the only way to really connect and to know where you come from is to have a deeper conection with mother earth, our indigenous language and our indigeneous community, look for your indigenous community and your mind will start to really expand into knowing and battleing with yourself. 76 % indigenous here, nahua and otomi. 12 % spain. Saludos guerreros del Anahuak, tenchikawak, fuerza guerrera!

Mexicans are native to America , especially Southwest United States

16:22 jenny do you think this could be a "generational curse"? and i feel like i would do a dna test because 1. the mexican revolution pops up a lot in the family storytime 2. a lot of records that could trace back certain things in the family dont exist prior to those years 3. my maternal grandfather lost both his parents by the age of 5 but used to say that neither of his parents had family in tamaulipas before they came and settled in the town he was born.4. my maternal great grandmother spoke nahuatl(according to mom) however,she was the one who confirmed that they had fled during the revolution to the mountains and then settled back in land after it was safe.im thinking she may be from south SLP or even veracruz if not states like guerrero where nahuatl is spoken. 5. as far as my paternal side goes,i only know my grandma's family is from SLP but nothing of my paternal grandfather exists before the years of the revolution.

I loved your video! And you are both beautiful so it doesen't matter where you're from. What matters is how you are.

And I thought I had some spanish. I turned out to be 95.6% mesoamerican but its ok. Im proud to be indigenous.

😂 wrong!! That rhing isn't trustworthy. el Bajío is Western México, not northeastern side. That's why León, Guanajuato is called "La perla del Bajío".

I could relate so much to your story! My dad’s father side of the family comes from a “noble” line from Navarra. They were ridiculous since my grandfather was the first born they had great expectations for him 😂but he met my grandma who they considered a basic woman not good enough for my grandpa. Long story short my grandma had twins (one my dad) and my grandpas family firmly believed the babies weren’t my grandpas. Funny but I grew up in that family and heard my entire life how we weren’t really related to them and my dad’s real dad was a Japanese guy. I always felt such a strong bond to my grandpa and his grandfather (who I never met). I felt that if I was anything like anyone it would be them. So those comments about how he wasn’t my real grandfather were hurtful. Finally I moved the US and years later I decided to do the ancestry dna. I wanted to know once and for all. Am I Japanese?! 😂 It was an emotional decision that wasn’t easy. I was about to find out whether or not those rumors were true and if so, why did I feel that connection in my heart to my grandfather? My results came back… He WAS my dad’s father lol 😂 I am related through dna to other family members on that paternal side 🎉🎉🎉

Sad that people can only appreciate certain aspects of their ancestry. Nobody wants anything to do with European side of their families. Orgogliu Siciliana!

Thanks for sharing your personal story Jenny. I hope it was not difficult for you growing up. In terms of our DNA we are all mixed. Humans have being migrated from place to place since the beginning of time.

I wish I could find pictures of what indigenous people from Sinaloa looked like. But not mixed, true original indigenous people, it's annoying that all this info was just zero important back then, during the conquest and I can't find anything now

we need more Latinos and Latinas being proud of their indigenous ancestry.

Both had 7% Basque? What a coincidence! For all you know you could be family! 🤯 jk!

5th generation chicano from AZ 59% indigenous 💪🏽🇲🇽🇺🇸🪶🏜️🌵

I’m 100% Ashkenazi Jewish. I’m not sure how many have 100% of something.

South eastern Zacatecas mija you could be Caxcan if your family is from Tlaltenngo, Teul, Tepechitlan, Momax, Jalpa, Juchipila. Atolinga. Covarrubias is a common name is southern Zac.

Thanks for sharing your story Jenny. I really appreciate your honesty. Now i want to do a DNA test.

Just say your American!!!!! I don't walk around saying I'm German/English-American.

San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas are 2 of my favorite places in Mexico. They are very underrated. I would say that most Mexicans are Indigenous and Spanish. Indigenous blood is very strong in Mexico. Mexicans tend to have very little African blood.

Your mom can give 67% of her DNA from one parent and 33% from the other. Your dad can only give 50/50.

Thank you for your transparency guys. Especially you, Jenny.

Be proud of ur African heritage as well.

I love this reality TV show lol. We need an episode 2, please 😆🤪. I felt so connected to this video. I can completely relate to each of you in different ways (if that makes sense). Thanks for sharing this experience with us! 😊 You two are amazing!

7% Basque , now you're talking, because there isn't one person from Spain, there are many and most of us ,have no idea where we are from. Country that has been invaded constantly by Romans, Muslims from many countries, and the French, people from Canary Islands are from Africa, they look more like Latinos, even if I just saw a comment of them not wanting to be latinos. You even got Gypsies sent to mexico, who are from India and the south of Spain is where flamenco is from, done by Middle eastern spaniards, mixed with Belgium. It is a never ending, wonder of where they are from, Catalans are greek, Basque are ? they don't know and the Celtics are the Portuguese and the Gallegos, who went everywhere. Nascar is an Andalusian word. You have jews also like Columbus and his men, don't believe regular history, it's fake.

we have interesting result's my fam is from Jalisco aguascalientes Guanajuato area and ancestry came at 31% Spain Portugal, 6% basque,14% french,1% Scotland, 3%jewish,4%north Africa, 2%congo Africa,39%native Mexico 🇲🇽

I've been curious about doing one of these tests. But then I remember comedian Bill Burr's words: "Why would you send your DNA to the Internet?"

My daughters and I took the 23nme test. There were no surprises. I came out 48 % Great Britain , 45% French and some German, Scandinavian. The kicker was their paternal grandpa was from Calcutta, India but they insisted they were not mixed. You only had to look at them to know the were. The DNA showed each of my girls had 12 to 13% Bangladesh and South Asian. Which makes sense. Grandpa is 50%, daddy is 25% si stands to reason they would be at least 12%. As my DNA was solidly in the pasty while Anglo-Saxon it was coming from dear old dads side. I already had 400 yrs worth of genealogy from my dad's side and 300 from mums so we knew what my DNA would show. It's the far far back you don't see. My kids, unlike their dad and grandfather are very proud and quick to admit to being mixed.

So, 60/40 and 50/50 Indigenous/Spanish. Very Mexican.

Awesome video, I loved hearing about your heritage!! I did not plan on doing a DNA test. But then when I found out my dad is blood "type O," my mom is blood type B-, and I am blood type A+ I thought hmm... okay I'll take the test. If you are wondering O + B does not = A. Anyway, it turned out my dad is not an O but an A. And yes he is my dad. What I was most surprised about was that I am 49% Scottish. I was always told I am mostly German. My family said there is no way I could be 1/2 Scottish because none of them are even close to that. And that's the interesting thing about genetics... you'll never know exactly what you are unless you take the test. ¡¡Gracias!!

Congratulations, on your ethnicities results 😊👍🏼

I don't doubt your Asian appearance comes from being at least half indigenous. I encountered a Mexican girl who tested out as 95% indigenous, and she has visited Vietnam, and said her friends there kept asking if one of her parents was maybe Chinese or Filippino. The indigenous Americans came from Asia originally.

Mexican is a nationality and a culture, not a "race". Therefore not something a DNA test can decide

The best way to make sense of your DNA matches is to build out your family tree. Link your results to your tree and make it public, then you will start seeing common ancestor matches and you can can see those connections with Thrulines. If your tree is unlinked or private you won't get the common ancestor feature. Public never shows living people, those individuals show up as private. Good luck to you both! EDIT: You should try to get your mom tested, plus a full and half-sibling. You will be able to better determine how your other DNA matches link up.

Im from Salinas central coast California & I took Ancestry DNA & got 54% Indigenous Americas Mexico Leòn Guanajuato Uto Aztecan and Jalisco Huicol and only 1% Indigenous South americas andean/incan 17% Spain 8% Northern Africa Morocco 5% Cameroon Congo 3% Basque 2% Jewish 2% Senegal 1% Mali 1% Nigeria 1% Arabian peninsula 1% Baltics 1% Portugal 1% Wales

Have your mom do the test so that ancestry can tie the exact genetic code you inherited from her. It would show you what’s your dads. Also if your sisters or at least one takes it you’ll know if they’re half siblings or not but that’s just for personal knowledge because at the end of the day they’re just your sisters nothing else ❤

😅Frausto has nothing to do with the Apache tribe. Its totally European from Spain.

Your relationship compatibility is exceptional ...

Not to make it actable but in the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers Generation this was a common thing to have a child out of wedlock that carry a last name of the father that raise them.

Thanks for sharing. Jenny, I know that must have been difficult. You two are both so honest and candid.

A lot of Jewish & Arabic & celtic peoples lived in Spain & Portugal so a lot of conquistadors had different ancestry in their bloodlines..

Un muy lindo paseo por vuestros origenes me habéis dado. Gracias 🤗🤗

Chicago, my favorite mexican city, followed by el pueblo de los angeles, and guanajuato. All great mexican towns.

"Proud to be brown". That's cool, and I get it. It's good to be proud of your heritage. In the same manner, I'm proud to be white. I'm from 100% Northwestern European heritage and relate to my ancestors, mostly Scandinavian, British and French.

I dont understand why indigenous Americans need a dna test but what ever floats your boat. Another aspect of it is that youre DNA coding has been logged and no telling whos hands it will end up in.

❤❤❤❤❤ mi hija hermosa

I'm also Mexican American 3/4 Native American. Some Spanish, Welch, Scottish, French, North African, West African, and even Jewish. Very true that humans are messy creatures. And we are often stuck in generational curses. In other words, we repeat the errors of our ancestors. Mostly due to ignorance and pride. Yet we need to recognize the hurt and trauma this often produces and instruct our children to do better. So that they can break those curses.

Vamos en carretera y no podemos verlo bien pero queremos saber todo. En cuanto podamos, lo repetimos de nuevo

African DNA!!!!!!!!!! Woooooooow

My ancestry is from Tamaulipas and Nuevo León and when I took my DNA test I was only 10% indigenous, the rest was Spanish with a little bit of North African and Jewish. It’s pretty interesting! Mexico is a very diverse country.

I say you should do a paternal DNA test for you to know for sure.

You both look indigenous so it wasn’t surprising to me .
