As a german without migration background for 6 generations I like the idea of still being a wild mix of northwestern, northeastern, eastern, northern and western Europe - the more that some of our near ancestors got a terribly wrong idea about our ethnicity. And even better: It changes every year, from some more scottish last year to now more danish but without norwegian, and baltic instead of eastern european....By the way: Ancestry does declare Danish and Swedish ethnicity estimates, but the whitepaper does not show any figures for Denmark.....maybe next year? It is fun listening to your genealogy vlogs!😀

People who wonder why they say they have someone born in Ireland (Northern Ireland) but it says Scottish... they should research the Ulster Scots....When the King was trying to replace the Catholics in Northern Ireland with Protestants, he literally gave the land of the Catholic Irish to these Protestant Scottish farmers who were willing to move from Scotland to Northern Ireland....so many people say they were from Northern Ireland, would be in fact genetically Scottish. OR as they are called, Ulster Scots. I discovered that my mothers Irish turned out to be Scottish people planted in Northern Ireland because of politics. My gr gr grandfather was born in Antrim Ireland in 1800, but his parents were both from Scotland. So while the records were correct...he WAS born in Ireland...but he was genetically Scottish.

@@thezfunk Yep in my research I found that on many immigrant documents Scotch Irish but today is known as Ulster Scots Irish . While they might not have any Irish DNA they have roots from Ireland . As my grandmother even said we had ancestors that moved from Wicklow Ireland to the Americas. I also knew from stories from my grandmother had ancestors that left from Isle of Man to the America's as well . All those stories my grandmother and great grandmother told were true .

THANK you, THANK you for including and responding to my Jewish question. I checked the tombstone of the sister of husband's ancestor along with the death certificate. No name of parents and "not known" on the certificate. Yes, she was active in Jewish society and mentioned many times in the paper. Nothing about her early years before coming to America, though. I will persevere, though, and glad to see I'm on the right track. I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming.

Just saw your Reddit page, you are going the be very busy with this series. 👍 To anyone build an actual family tree (follow all lines) next to your dna results it all makes more sense than dna alone, because that won’t tell you anything about your ancestors or their stories they are estimates next year they might be different. Your tree will stay the same if you did it right..

I have recently purchased My HeritageDNA kits for myself, my mother and 4 siblings for Christmas. I am really interested in seeing how they connect us and to see what our mixtures are! What will be very interesting is that 3 of my siblings have the same mother and father, and 1 of my brothers and myself both have different fathers. We are of Caribbean decent and are all Frist Generation Canadian so I don't anticipate any North American heritage but this is what I know so far... Mom - Both Parents are from Dominica (NOT Dominican Republic) - We know there will be West African (probably Ghanaian) on my Grandfathers side and we were told that one of my Grandmother's ancestors came from a "Basque region in France" before migrating to the Caribbean. Me - Mother Dominican/ Father Jamaican - I do not know much of my fathers side but know his mother was born in Cuba and his Grandfather was either from Sweden or somewhere around there. Brother - Mother Dominican/ Father Bajan (Barbados) 1 Brother/2 Sisters - Mother Dominican/ Father Ukrainian. I have already turned in my kit and my family will get theirs for Christmas next week. I figure in about 2 months we will have everyone's results and will have a lot of questions for you Jarrett!

When Ancestry updated last, they upped my Welsh component (expected), reduced my English component reduced with an increase in Scottish (3% to 7%). I have a vaugue memory of being told one of my maternal great grandmother's brothers moved to Scotland somewhere between 1900 and 1910. Would a mass DNA testing by "welsh" relatives in Scotland boost the Scotland percentage?

What I like about MyHeritage is that it has more people in their database from all over the world and gives me a lot more present-day European relative matches than Ancestry does. That has actually led to me learning more about the history of Eastern Europe and the various redrawings of the borders that have occurred over the past 150-ish years. And Find a Grave has been really helpful for more recent American-based ancestors. I'm leaving no stone unturned trying to fill in the gaps in my family tree.

I'm always a bit puzzled when people from the British Isles are confused about Norwegian, Swedish and Danish ancestry results. There were people from those areas that had a pretty significant historical and genetic impact on the British Isles. They were called Vikings. Some of the Viking's descendants settled in France and came over with William the Conqueror, they had a significant historical and genetic impact again, they were called Normans. I think for any seemingly anomalous DNA result, you should always look at the history of the place where your relatives were from. It's likely that this perspective could really bring a new view to your results. The world has always been a melting pot and migrations are an important part of the genetic pasts of all of us.

I'm not sure how it works, maybe it's dominant or recessive as Hermione's parents were both Muggles. I don't think Squibs are common and may be a genetic condition that happens in certain magical families.

A white paper is just a report or guide that goes in-depth into a specific topic or 'complex issue'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_paper For the consumer DNA companies, their white papers usually describe the methods they use to come up with their results and any statistics behind their results.

I Took the AncestryDNA to find out who was my real Great Grandfather, I knew he was adopted but was surprised to find out the man he thought was his grandfather was not. In the Process I found some famous cousins. Benedict Arnold and Richard Henry Lee. I was able to trace my mothers fathers line all the Way back to 1140. A very powerful family in English History connected to the Magna Carta, Agincourt, Henry the The 8th Mary and Elizabeth. I was surprised how easy it was with DNA to confirm the paper trails.

People need to take in account migration, wars and other historical events when looking at their DNA results. The understanding of historical events could help them understand why they may have a specific admixture when their nationality or that of their forefathers does not match.

2 of my family members did DNA tests, and French did not come up on the 23andme one, then for the other individual, 3% french came up, and not way more like expected, they did Ancestry DNA. I was guessing that came from her dad not her mom (the 3% french). Do you think that's because DNA testing is illegal in France. The French is supposed to be from St. Barts in the Caribbean. There used to be French Descent people living there for over 200 years, but now there are also Portuguese immigrants. Nearly all French Descent people from St. Barts are related, so I'm confused. I think for both of them, the European percentage that was expected to come up as French, came up as English. so France is part of north west europe? and 84 % precise ?
@solene9072 2 жыл бұрын
The french dna can appear in different population on the DNA test, it depends on the French region where your family come from. I am French with ancestry in France on both side from more then 6 generations and my family from the south west of France appear from Iberian because the data base is not quite precise, it the same for people from French Brittany that appear British... it can be the case for your French family

I was also very curious if this was the case as I also have ancestors that settled in Quebec as well on my mother's side of the family. My first results I pulled 4% French but on update that went poof . Then I pulled 2% Germanic in the update which did not shock me as I knew we had ancestors from Netherlands as well in Bern Switzerland going back in the ancestors . Before I ever took the first Ancestry test my kids asked me what I thought ? I said British Isles , England , Scotland /Scottish or Ulster Scot , Then Dutch and German .

I wish I could look up my ancestors, but I can't. I'm Native 81% and I don't know the name of the non-natives that married in because when they married, or just had a kid, it was before the US Census made natives take a Euro name. So the farthest back I can go is my great great grandma, and it says Indian girl 12 y/o. So, technically that may not even be her, but we narrowed it down from the Mormon Church ancestry documents. For example, we know that she would've been that age and 1 of 3 children, who also match the ages in the census, so by process of elimination, we know she was counted, and that's it. However, I'm sure I have some type of Norse in me because I had 2 uncles that had a medical condition that was most to Norse people. Anyway, since my family, both sides were on reservations in Nevada, there is no way for me to get back further than what we already know. And I refuse to do a DNA kit because they don't have enough actual Native indigenous American blood for comparison, so it would say I'm not what I know I am. Most is the native people are getting is from Mexico and Central America. I know this because these companies came to 2 of my tribes and offered to give the tests for free because they wanted "real" native American blood in their database. And I've heard horror stories of people finding out they are 2% native and go to their University and ask what they get for free, while shoving that results paper into the financial aid office person's face. I wish I was there, I'd say, you don't get anything, if natives did, I wouldn't be 80k in school debt.

I have %33 Native American and although my grandma was born in Mexico on the map it shows my Native American coming mostly from the USA which it makes sense since she belonged to the Yaqui tribe which is recognized in both countries USA and Mexico since is practically the same people the just got divided when Mexico lost some of its territory.

Is it possible to share 25% DNA with a half sister on my father's side. Can't remember how many segments but something more than 1,700
@positivecynic365 2 жыл бұрын
You should share approximately 25% DNA with a half sibling . . . Could be a little more or a little less. 25% is on average.
@throckwoddle 2 жыл бұрын
That sounds about right. You each get half of your DNA from your father. So hypothetically speaking you could each get the same half (50% DNA shared), each get the half that the other doesn't get (0% DNA shared), or something in the middle (on average 25%). Since you're both female you both had to get almost exactly the same X chromosome from your father (with maybe a tiny bit of recombination from his Y chromosome), and it looks like you shared an average amount of the other chromosomes that you inherited from your father.

From my experience, it can vary based on what genes each of you inherited from your shared parent. I share 2162 centimorgans with my half sister (on our dad's side) and 2554 centimorgans with my full sister. I bought our dad a testing kit, but he hasn't done it yet for us to compare our results with him directly, though his sister did get tested for us to be able to have that comparison.

it could be with the first person dna results is that they could be detecting Norman French ancestry rather then French French dna if the person does have Norman French dna it will come up has English allso it could be the oppisite to with England all so invading France same with her German she or he may have Saxon German ancestry which the Saxons allso migrated to England in 450 AD so it could be that they are mistaken it for English and the scandinavian dna will come from the Viking invasions of the British isles and from that small % it does seem to be the case. one of my complaints with Ancestry to is that they should lump together south western Scottish with Irish and south east Scottish with England because the Scottish are from different peoples over the century's like the Irish and South west Scottish because both groups share the same genes and both invaded and migrated to on each side over the century's espily the Scots who came from an Irish celtic tribe known has the Scotti which they came migrated or invaded Western Scotland 1,500 years ago which became kown has Dal Raita with the third person the dna does show he or she is from the British isles the British isles dont just mean England ^^

I'm a black American, so European was expected, but not 35% with alot of Nordic countries. 16% was French/German which confirmed my Creole Dad; and I know my mother's side is Blackfoot, no surprise on my Indigenous %, but including Southern China, Filipines, and Burma was. Basically Asian migrant patterns. I would suggest building ur family tree as well, the DNA breakdown begins to take a back seat as u see the records of ur ancestors.
