What is Our GENEALOGY? - Our Heritage DNA Test Results! | Ep.76 

I feel that I need to destroy this stereotype of Irish people being red/ginger. Only about 9% of Irish people are red-haired. Irish people are mostly dark-haired with blue eyes.

Hi, Dutchie here, I can track back my ancestry back to 1440. My ancestors all lived in the north east of the Netherlands. My DNA result is 93,2% English, 5,8% Scandinavian and 1% Middle East. The English is solely due to fact that the English are Anglo- Saxon, angles from Denmark en Saxon from North east Germany / north East Netherlands. So Zach is very Dutch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This was awesome!

My DNA results didn’t surprise me too much. I’m more Scottish than I expected. However, I was shocked to discover that my Mom’s first husband was not my biological father and that I had a half sister and 3 half brothers I didn’t know about - not to mention a father I never heard about.

Genetics are amazing. Migration was amazing. The mixing pool made us who we are.❤

Welsh, Irish, Scottish, English... I’d say you’re all very WISE!

I love these dna test videos! Are Ladies and Lattes also going to do the dna test too? This is a great episode!!

Most people don't know this but more Scottish people have red hair than Irish people.

I was looking forward to this video all week and it was so worth it!!!! Thank you guys so much!!!

I did the DNA test with Ancestry. I have always been told that my grandma on my dad's side of the family was half American Indian. My DNA showed no Indian. But it is fun learning more about all of you! Love and hugs from Norway!

Hi you guys. After I watched Austin and Cam do their MyHeritage DNA kits, I ordered one and mine said that I am 64.1% English, 32.5% Scandinavian, 1.9% Italian and 1.5% Iberian. It also said that I have over 15,000 distant relatives. I didn't write down the exact number. I have to say that this is kind of neat. Thanks for doing this. Hugs to you all. Take care!

Fascinating results. I could have guessed all those tbh, maybe in a different order at worst. My results were these: 54% Native American 2% Inuit/Alaskan 42% Iberian Not that surprised to be honest but it's always fun to find out what you are.

So after Cam and Austin did theirs my husband and I ordered our dna kits from my heritage and we were shocked especially by my husbands results. We both thought we were mainly English, Irish, German, and Native American. My results were 82.4% English 11.3% Irish Scottish and welsh 3.9% Greek and south Italian 1.2% ashkenazi Jewish 1.2% Balkan My husbands results were 45.7% Scandinavian 17.7% English 13.9% east European 12.7% Italian 4% North African 1% Nigerian Needless to say both he and I and our parents were shocked by the results!

That was fun to watch!

Wow! So cool to have so many close friends! Hope they stay friends for life!

I can't believe how long it took these five men to get thru this session.

I would be interested to see how 23&Me compares to this test.

For what it’s worth, from my experience (have been working with dna testing for genetic genealogy for my extended family for close to 10 years) MyHeritage’s (a newer company) ethnicity estimates are a bit less refined and prone to error than some of the DNA testing giants like Ancestry and 23andMe that have had more time to refine the estimates. So with MyHeritage it’s not unusual for the estimate to be off somewhat in either amount or exact location. So the ‘missing Dutch’ for the guy on the left may just be lumped in with the English estimate as those are very similar DNA wise.

This was so much fun. Such good sports about it!! This is the best part of America!

Ok so before I start watching the video I just have to say that just 2-3 days ago I was watching a men Men Try video ( I’m a new subscriber to both channels😊) the one where you and Austin did the My Heritage DNA test, and I was thinking to myself like “Man, I hope they do this on Five’s A Crowd” and you did! I’m so excited for this, I’m super into like genealogy and so this is gonna be so much fun to watch😃 I’m especially excited to find out if my guesses have been right😆

I did the Family Search thing too. I have a lot of the same famous relatives as Zach and Cam. Almost everybody they mentioned are also in my family tree.

Keep in mind, those results will change. I was 58% Scandinavian and 10% Irish/Scottish. Now 53% English/Northwestern European and 33% Scottish. The more time goes by the more in depth the research goes.

This made me want to take up my own research again. 😊

I've always wanted to see someone send off the same DNA testing again to see if they come back the exact same

When you talked about being related, the truth is that we're all related if you go back enough generations. I'm about 40% English/Irish/Welsh, about 40% Middle Eastern and 16% Italian, according to my Ancestry DNA. I don't know where the Italian came from because my mom's side of the family doesn't have any. My biological dad is Iranian, so we think the Italian comes from his side somewhere.🤗😘

lol basically a panel of the descendants of the british 🤝🤣

I haven't heard the movie quote" I'm from Holland isn't that verid" in a hot minute. Thanks for the nostalgia!

A) My mom's family names (and locations) were Netherlands: VanWesten, Staat, Groot & Reidenga. Her dna came back with Germany & Scotland! She was totally blindsided, like Zack. B) I'm a ginger with 2 brunette parents. The mutated Ginger gene is recessive- so both my parents had the gene and that's how i got the red hair/pale skin. My bro is a tan, dark haired god lol He's Colin Farrell and I'm Conan O'Brien. :(

MyheritageDNA does give extra Scandinavian and Spanish to your background. To be sure count the Spanish and Scandinavian cousins. Can do another video with 23andMe or Family Tree DNA. Funny video.

This was lots of fun

As a genealogist, I can say often times the paper trail and the DNA does not match. People moved around, and borders changed constantly. Also, the DNA only goes back a certain amount so it is possible at one time your family was where the paper trail came from. We also need to remember that some countries do not test as much as others and in some countries such as France it is against the law to take a DNA test. For example, Louis Monet (made up name) is french and his whole family lived in France. Louis goes to England and meets an English woman who he falls in love with and marries. He brings her back to France and they have a son Hugo Monet. in Hugo's lifetime the borders switch and a german city becomes a French city he meets a woman who lives in the city that was formerly German and he falls in love and marries her, they stay in France and they have a son Andre Monet. Andre meets a woman from Ireland and marries her, they settle in France and have a son Paul Monet. And so on and so forth. By the time it gets to you, the paper trail says your family is from France, and your last name says you are obviously French, however, your DNA shows no French because of how far back your actual French ancestor was. It doesn't mean your family isn't French, it just means you personally have not inherited the French DNA. Also, the tests from different websites are different because they go off their own base of DNA findings. If you took an Ancestry or 23andme test you will come up with a different percentage and or different area of ancestry. For example, my DNA findings on Ancestry say I am 28% England & Northwestern Europe, which includes England, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, 20% Germanic, which includes Germany, Austria, Switzerland, 19% Scotland, which includes Northern Ireland, 15% Northern Italy, 6% Southern Italy, 12% Iberian. While MyHeritage says I am 41% English, 25% Eastern European, 12% Iberian, 8% Italian, 1% Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and 13% West Asian. Ancestry DNA results follow my paper trail more so than the MyHeritage does. My paternal grandfather is 100% Italian and my father is 50% Italian so Ancestry showing I am about 25% Italian is correct. Also, with your DNA matches, don't go off what the website tells you the relation is. Go off the cM's you share with the match. The website will only give you an estimation.

This was so fun to watch! Thanks!

Awkward at times but so much fun!😂😂😂😂😂 Five’s not a crowd, it’s a PARTY! 😉😎🤓🌎🌍🌏

Hi fives a crowd podcast! I research in Swedish genealogy. If you find your Scandinavian ancestors and find if they are Swedish i can help you further back.

Bless his heart, I think Zach was upset with his. Maybe not upset but blown away.

If you test with different companies, you get vastly different results. My ancestry and my my heritage are completely different. In fact they couldn’t be less alike. If you are really serious about this I recommend taking that approach. In fact I would go with Ancestry first. They allow you to download your dna data and you can upload your dna data to all the companies that allow that for free. It’s the same sample just analyzed by different algorithms. You will have larger numbers of people to compare to. You DNA estimates will forever changing because they are estimates.

My family that was from the Netherlands was actually english as well.. They lived in exile in the Netherlands due to religion.

You should do this again but with AncestryDNA 😃

Finland isn't in scandinavia. It will show up separately in these tests :) as we saw on Chris, welcome to the Finnish family for the two of you! This was fun to watch.

3rd to 4th cousin is a relationship range, the algorithm cant tell exactly how you are related so you can do the genealogy research to find out how you are exactly related.

If you've irish, the Scandinavian DNA could well come from either the vikings coming to Ireland before Brian Boru defeated them or more likely through tbe Anglo Norman invasions. The Norman, were tbe Vikings ancestors who had settled in northern France and then invaded England first, and then Ireland 100 years later after becoming the 'Anglo Nornans '

The kits are on sale right now for Easter in case anybody is interested.

I'm 43% England and Northwestern Europe. 28% Scotland 19% France 5% Wales 3% Norway and 2% Ireland

Prince William and Harry have part Indian blood, from India, from his mother's side. They have an ancestor in the 17th or 18th century that married an Indian woman and brought her back to the UK. The British ruled India for a over a century.

You need to checkout geneavlogger. Take the ethnicity estimates with a pinch of salt. The dna matches are the real exciting bit.

Not all Irish are redhead ... They also have dark hair, blonde hair and they have blue eyes, dark eyes and green eyes. Same everywhere in Europe but there are just different percentages of blonde hair, dark hair, blue/brown/green/honey eyes in fonction of the country (if it's located northern or southern Europe) 😉 My friends in Sweden have almost all dark hair and one third have brown eyes 😉 And I have a Spanish friend who gas blonde hair with blue eyes 🙂

So zach little history the Scandinavian comes from vikings that actually invaded England or france then England

I just ordered my DNA kit!

The last podcast makes more sense. They filmed this before the last one.

i want his dad to take the dna test and find out if he really is dutch XD

It is easy to explain because Dutch DNA does not exist. DNA goes back thousands of years when the Netherlands was still a sea. Our Dutch DNA comes from the same pool you descend from. I am a Dutchman hundreds of years ago, but my DNA tells me as a Dutchman 63.4% Scandinavian and 34.6% North European German tribes Engenland French. So there is no real Dutch DNA. We come from the surrounding countries because the Netherlands was actually just the seabed at the time.

@3:43- LOL, yeah not all redheads come from Ireland lol. Like my grandma is a redhead, and her maiden name is Gillespie. I was always told that was Irish, but for all we know it could be Scottish too lol. I did get my DNA results and 40% comes from the British Isles (including Ireland), so there's still a possibility that my paternal grandma's family (on her father's side) is Scottish lol. FYI, I got my DNA test from 23andMe. It was an early bday present from my brother and sister-in-law. Now it was even MORE fun to compare my brother's and my results because while they were obviously similar enough to establish, "Hey y'all are siblings", there were some major differences in the distribution of those results. I mentioned how I was 40% British/Irish, for my brother that was 16% lol. He was over 60% in German/French, I was 45% of that. Everything else was spread out against mostly Northern Europe (no Southern Europe in there). And a trace amount of African (my dad's family lived in the Southern US states pre-Revolutionary war, so that doesn't surprise me, the African nations were western). Growing up, I always KNEW I was French, British, and German (was told I was Irish), due to the family historians in my own family. I just always wanted a DNA test done to see the percentages and to see if anything else popped up since my dad's family has been in the US before it was founded (my mom's family came in between the 1840s and 1900s).

Not all Irish are redhead ... They also have dark hair, blonde hair and they have blue eyes, dark eyes and green eyes. Same everywhere in Europe but there are just different percentages of blonde hair, dark hair, blue/brown/green/honey eyes in fonction of the country (if it's located northern or southern Europe) 😉 My friends in Sweden have almost all dark hair (but the girls tend to have a much higher percentage of blonde (and lighter blonde) because of hair dye) and one third have brown eyes, one with amazing honey/copperish eyes, one with green eyes and the rest of them blue eyes 😉 And I have a Spanish friend who has blonde hair with blue eyes 🙂

About the Viking who "founded" Russia is not quite correct. He did not found, but was called to reign in the already existing Slavic settlements. He reigned in Novgorod, not in Kiev. His descendants came to Kiev. :)

My brother & sister in law, my mom and my husband and I just did AncestryDNA. I’m 52% Ireland, 13% Eastern Europe & Russia (Ukrainians in Eastern Europe), 13% England & Northern Europe, 6% France, 6% Scotland, 2% Norway, 2% European Jewish, indigenous Americas - North 1% & Finland 1%. My brother and I share 45-52% of DNA we even have small percentages that the other doesn’t (he got more my mom and I got more my dad) and my mom shares 50% with each of us.

We Brits were some of the earliest legal settlers in America and Canada. I am English, Scottish, Northern Irish, Northern European.

Austin, you should request, that Jess and Holly do that DNA TEST on Ladies and Lattes

The Meso-American, Peruvian, Ecuador is Native American for heavens sakes!

All were surprising

hey

Men try…. Trying my heritage? 🤷🏻‍♀️ food, sports, and traditional drinks 🍺

All 5 of you guys have Scandinavian in your DNA. You guys can now start a tribe lol.

I am sorry to inform you that, in Italy, that sign made by shaking both hands upward means absolutely nothing :-) If you go there, don't do it. You will look like Americans who have never left the borders.

My kids are: Black White Puerto Rican Native American, Filipino Mexican Italian

My nephew uses Wikitree to find possible ancestors.

I am 69% England Northwestern Europe 19% Scotland 6% Ireland 4% Wales 2% Germanic Europe

Where in this world come from that Spanier's are dark LOL

97% English 3% Scandinavian ❤ (probably a viking from long long ago) xx

Henry II, Richard the Lionheart, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Princess Diana's 3 siblings and son, Harry, are a few English red heads.

Welsh not Welch.

Everyone is related and African if you go back far enough 😊

Belarus is NOT part of the Baltics and the Baltics are NOT Slavic!!! Pls educate yourself on the topic.

English are said to be 25 % German/ Netherlands, english started as a germanic language but london has always been a melting pot

My sister looks Chinese but she's only German and Jewish. I would f*****g DIE of laughter and honor if I had any Asian in me. Even .01% lol

I wish i could post pics because the men in my family look just like dude with red hair and funny i always say im so white im see through and im 62 percent english

Can I make a suggestion that you guys also do a test through Ancestry ... I have tested through both and I do find ancestry to be a bit more accurate but both are good to test through to get a clearer picture . For example, I am roughly half Irish, Scottish and Welsh and ancestry DNA showed this result yet myheritage came back that I was only 7.9% which I know is very innacurate so you may be surprised by what Ancestry DNA tells you.

Finish people are nordic not Scandinavian. More Russian than Scandinavian!

My great great grandfather came to Canada from France but my family has very little french DNA. Its pretty cool to discover yourself 😊

Back in Darwins day they thought him slow witted or dim, socially backward.!!....lolol

When you are genetically 95% Irish ( Derry and Monaghan)and you are translucent, and ginger with blue eyes!!! 🤣😐

I am related to John Adams and John Quincy Adams and Grover Cleveland and The inventor of the TV. Philo Taylor Farnsworth (who was Mormon) It is fun to see who we are related to.

When they say Irish Scottish and Welsh doesn't mean you are definitely Irish just means you're definitely Celtic. Im 80% I.S.and W all of it is Welsh.

The English actually came from Scandinavia. The Anglo and saxon "axe men" come from the same area the vikings came from. England means "Anglo land". The anglos were viking before the Viking era. Theyre the ones that gave the romans a hard time when they conquered Britain at the time. The anglos were rading roman Britain. When the romans left the anglos moved in to britian. They were still pagan. Then with Christianity the Anglo atarted to relax and got raided by their cousins the Vikings. Lol❤ You can say that after the Romans left Britain became viking history. Iriland also has a Viking history😊

My greats Irish and bohemia

This conversation is full of STEREOTYPES

I’m pretty sure I’m related to Emma Smith so I’m probably related to Cam and Zach!

So your all coming to the U.K.????

CRI genetics goes deep. Took mine all the way back to Egypt.❤

Hello! Yes, that's right, there was a tribe of Vikings they called themselves Rus, that means: "the rowers" they were not so warlike Vikings, they were more merchants and traders, and farmers! She founded the country of rowers, that is, Russia! Greetings Nephilim

You need to read up on your history....that will tell you why your DNA is that way!! ❤

Twice removed means its the grandchild of your cousin or you are the grandchild of their cousin.

I did mine with Ancestry and I have a lot of Mormon Pioneers in my family and my side of the family is not even Mormon . Some had been Quaker, Methodist, Mennonite. Maybe you just did not get Dutch even if you have family that is. I have a lot of other related that it says I did not get.

Also northwestern is germanic tribes. Not German. Germanic people didn't come from Germany. Germany came from germanic groups. Germany is were Saxony was. Were saxons come from. France was Celtic before Germanic tribes moved in.

Unity of spirit is more important 🤍

seen as though all ye have Scandinavian and Irish/Scottish/Welsh ye could be related to each other or even have some same relatives. Irish and Scottish are known as cousins. Unfortunately I'm on Ancestry so I can't see if I'm related to any of ye.

Scandinavian is Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Finland is a Nordic land but not a part of Scandinavian. Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰👍

His red beard is froM The Italian in him.

Wikitree is the site where you can find connections to famous people. I am a member. You can get our genealogists to research your family if you wish. Let me know if you guys are interested and i can put you in touch with someone to get it started.

You could all get gedmatch accounts and see who is related.

This was fun but you guys need to understand something fundamental about inheriting and reading DNA, you get 50% from each parent. Of each of your parent's 100% it's not a perfect division in half. For example a mom reads 50% Slavic and 50% English, their child doesn't inherit a perfect 25% of each. It could be closer to 40% Slavic and 10% English. This percentage also changes between siblings so one sibling could not inherit English at all and would read as 50% Slavic from mom's side. This happens with everyone so the percentage a person and their siblings have could be wildly different. For a personal example my grandpa on my mom's side reads as 70% Baltic, my mom, his daughter, reads at 22% Baltic, I read as 8% Baltic, my brother reads at 20% Baltic but my other two siblings don't read as Baltic at all.
