You should get your dad to do the test as well!

You should get your sister to take the tests too and see how they compare! x

Steph, it said that your weight is likely to be ABOUT average, not above average. You skimmed through that fast and misread it!

There’s a lot of misconceptions about what “Latin” looks like. It’s not a race, but only in America due to its history, Latin people are mixed. If you think about it. It makes sense. Native Americans, who migrated from Siberia, and Asia after the last Ice Age. Then came the Spaniards, and later the English, French, Irish, Scots, Scandinavians, Italians etc. The slavetrade that brought people over from Africs to America, mostly from the west coast of Africa, and south. It’s a melting pot. America was built on immigration, as well as slavery, and genocide. People are shocked when they see blond and blue eyed latin people, but their ancestors came from Spain, Portugal, and Italy, which øre the romance countries that make up the Latin sphere including France. People have to realize how genetics works. It’s like a lottery, and you never know what you will end up with basically. Sometimes it even skips a few generations. As a hairdresser and MUA I have seen this in form of hair color, hair texture as well as other typical traits like freckles, ginger/red hair and so on. Some kids doesn’t even look like their parentes, and you learn that they got their apperance from their grandparents. Sometimes even the theory of the dominant gene (melanin), doesn’t always work. Seen plenty of mixed people of Asian and Cacuasian blend, and manybof them look «white». You can’t even telll. I my self took a DNA test because all my life I have been told by others that I don’t look Filipino (enough), due to ignorance, and racism. I am too dark (tan), or I don’t look Chinese. I kinda knew what to expect because I know my history, and the history if my people and our islands, so in the end I proved to be 100% Filipino. No add mixture of anything. Every other Filipino I have seen taking these tests got a whole cocktail of different ethnicities. So I was kinda disappointed, even though I predicted this outcome.

I’m interested to see how your dad reacts or his results after taking a test 🤔 Also, I’m curious to see if they add in a result saying 1 person from immediately family is on 23 and me, next to your 3rd, 4th, and 5th relatives

love that you're going to do a video for all 3 companies/tests! i've been wanting to buy one of these tests for my mom as she lost her mom during the khmer rouge at a very young age , so she knows very little about her background. i probably won't purchase until i watch all three of your videos for each one :) also, this is super off topic but giiiiiirl your skin is amazing!

I know you're waiting on your other kits, and from what I heard, Ancestry is better...but I downloaded my 23andme kit and uploaded it to gedmatch and DNALand, and it gave me way more detail about my "broadly" categories. I'm obviously African American, but most African Americans are mixed, even our African DNA tends to be all across West Africa and other regions of the continent. I would upload your kit and find out more info. I found out I was mostly Nigerian and Cameroonian, but also part Mende, biaka pygmy, British ( just got a note from my British cousin on 23andme confirming), and even part Dardish/ Pakistani, along with a bunch of other stuff. It's crazy sis. I'm excited to know anything about my ancestry since I do not have a relationship with my father or his family, I'm the only child of my two parents, and my mother was adopted in a closed adoption.

You should upload your 23andme data onto WeGene. It's a Chinese genetic testing website, and it gives slightly more insight into your Asian ancestry. You can also connect with relatives as well. There's an English version and a Chinese version, but the English version is more limited. I don't think you can see your various health reports on it etc.

I actually have a similar story to yours! I am 3/4 Vietnamese and 1/4 White. My dad is Vietnamese and my mom is half Vietnamese and half White, she too does not know her father at all. And my older sister definitely got more of the "mixed" gene LOL. My mom was conceived while Vietnam was under war so my grandma met my grandpa who was an American soldier. Of course "white" could mean anything so I also took the 23andme test and found out that my grandpa is most likely from Spain. I would love to get my mom to do a test but growing up without a father in such a time in need is still very sensitive to her.

Anthropologically, Native Americans are genetically related to east asian via “mongolian”. If I recall my classes correctly.

sorry if this is irrelevant but your skin and makeup looks so good!! girl you are GLOWING!! please make a makeup tutorial on this look :)

Just wow... Props for the thumbnail work, it's stunning! Would love to see how you edit! xx

When you showed your leg i cracked up!!! I did my 23&me too and found it so fun to look through. Heaps of info!

I got my Ancestrydna results one month ago. I've been so obsessed with finding out more (next is 23andme). You definely should reach out, I met so many new family members. Some helpful tools that people use are GEDmatch and DNAland. There are countless videos on YT for reference. 🙂

Thanks for posting this personal video, I was looking forward to this since your Insta post. I have a similar dilemma when I did 23andme. I have never met my biological father. Some of the ancestry I got back was totally expected, some of it not as much. However, they came out with the Family Tree after I tested. Seeing that I had over a thousand “relatives” I logged into that thinking nothing of it when I got the release email. Most of course are like 5th cousins, but there was a half sister, aunt, and first cousin from my biological father’s side. It totally sucker punched me and really turned me upside down, I didn’t even have his name but suddenly I was looking at the picture of a half sister. I ended up having that difficult conversation with my mother and got more information afterwards. I haven’t decided if I’m going to contact him/them yet, as I logged out of that service so they cannot see me. Seeing as there is a little bit of a situation in your father’s side and you may find some of your father’s relatives (no guarantee) you may want to think very hard about contacting them/making a profile public in that specific part of the website. It could change your life forever. Maybe nothing is there, perhaps I’m just an extreme case. I’m not trying to tell you to do one thing or another. Please give it some time and think it through. Love your videos, please never change. All the best!

You have the most interesting video ideas! Looking forward to seeing the other results to see if they match!

Just wondering what you think about how 23andme is sharing its customers dna information with big pharma companies? These tests are interesting but these kinds of privacy leaks concern me! Love your videos always :)

I’m Hmong and a lot of people never heard of us, so if I were to do this I know I’m gonna get some interesting results

I've notice in other videos of Filipinos taking a DNA test, when regarding UK Irish Scottish just a thought that no one has brought up prior to iberian peninsula becoming countries and when Spain and Portugal was visigoths you had Germanic people living there and the Celtic people you find in the UK came from the Iberian peninsula in ancient times.

I'm so excited for these videos! I've always seen youtubers than I don't follow so these tests, but it's so cool to see my dear Stephanie do this! And I have actually heard that some people who took several tests actually get different results? Kinda crazy:p

Love these videos! So interesting to know people’s backgrounds

Don't worry, you are still who you are, and who you want to become. Go with it.

I would say do IT!! I have been trying to get in touch with my Greek heritage and have been mildly successful. if I could easily contact unknown relatives like that I would

IMM SHOOKETH. GOOD FOR YOU GIRL!!

Your dad should definitely test if he wants to! But he also should be prepared that it could put him in contact with family on his father's side. This is so cool! I've done Ancestry, 23 and Me, MyHeritage, and FamilyTreeDNA and all the results were so interesting! Can't wait to see what you get from the other companies!

I think it’s great you’re doing the results of all 3 tests. I feel like a lot of these tests are geared towards people of Caucasian or African decent (even evident in the genetic tests they have for illnesses or disease) and they don’t have as much of a database for the Asian population. Looking forward to seeing what the other results are for.. I think this will help me decide between ancestry or 23amdme

IT said "about average" not "above average" in the weight section lol))) This is amazing

steph i love you...but what do you mean your dad doesn’t look “spanish?” most spaniards are white...some may be pale, others tan, some darker...it varies

This is really cool and it made me get one because of how surprising your results were to you!!! I've only ever had contact with a small amount of family (for reasons out of my control) and have always questioned about any culture I was missing out on

Thank you for sharing, Steph! ❤️

Im 87% Iberian and I was honestly shocked, cause I’m from Spain of course but I do not look like your typical Spanish person, at least what everyone expects, I’m very pale skinned, blonde, blue eyes, big eyes, high nose bridge… I do have some German&French apparently about a 6% and some Balkan 2% and 4% North African, but almost 90% Iberian and I look like this so I guess it is what it is lol sometimes genetic makeup doesn’t really translate to phenotype

WOAHH Steph this was amazing!! So many cousins AHHHH~~~

Hey bb girl! The reason why your dads spanish side wasn't showing up is because as a female we only have XX chromosomes, so we can track the lineage of our maternal haplogroup, our mothers mothers mothers etc. Our brothers/fathers have XY which can track the paternal haplogroups too where we cant, so if you look on the ancestry reports page you'll notice under the paternal haplogroup it doesn't give results! So you probably still got spanish in your dna get your dad to take the test!! I got my brother to do the test instead of me because I know we'll get more results that way!

what a treat to see you after a long day at work!! :)))

I'm actually waiting for my ancestry reports from 23andMe as well so this was a great intro to it, as I've only really seen the Buzzfeed/Try Guys videos of it and not the actual home page you get when you sign up. It'd be interesting to see what your dad's or your sister's results would be, just to compare - as like you said you got the more dominant genes, so she might display more of the recessive ones.

Spain is def a combination of a lot of different Backgrounds (Scottish, Italian, Greek etc) I did ancestry dna, I’m excited to see what your results in that are. I’m Ecuadorian and only came up as 52% Native American (Ecuadorian) and the rest is all Scottish, Welch, Scandinavian which all comes from the Spanish relatives in my family!! Let us know what your dad said!!

Love this!!! I say you should turn on the functionality to connect with relatives. How cool! I’m gonna buy this now :)

Me and my best friend just got 23andme kits! I’m excited to see what they say. Thank you for sharing your experience! 💕

I've been following your beauty tips for years now, and I love all your products which you recommended! So, I have one question. Do you still recommend laura mercier's loose setting powder? Or do you recommend any other product for powder? I love hearing all your new favorite products, but if there is a chance, I would love to hear your daily summer (all time?) favorite! Thank you, and love from Japan! :)

I'd love to know my ancestry but I'm too scared to give my DNA for conspiracy theory reasons lol. My brother is too so we're trying to convince our sister to take one for the team 😂

That is so cool, I have already done my DNA test with ancestry and now waiting for results on 23 and Me :)

Woah I'm in a very similar boat with my dad's side as well! He took his dad's last name and his dad left at a super young age, so I also don't know a lot about him or his actual ethnic background. Love your videos and looking forward to seeing the results from the other services!

Take a look at your paternal line! That way you can find out your dads heritage through his father-fathers-fathers....etc Love your videos 💕💕

My husband and I gifted each other the 23AndMe kits a couple of Christmases ago and it was eye opening for us, too. I grew up thinking I was half-Filipina/half-German (with a German surname), and found out I'm more paternally British, Irish, Scandinavian, and Finnish with just a hint of German. Threw me for a complete loop! lol

This was really cool! Thanks for walking through the website with us!

Yes!!! You should totally contact your possible relatives and I would love to see a reaction video of your dad to this news hah

Woop woop! Excited for your results 😊

I've known your channel for about 4 years but only recently found out that you were mixed! Your last name has always bug me but I never thought most of it lmao but a few weeks ago I decided to find out and now it makes sense. My cousin is 3/4 white and 1/4 black and she looks white (her hair has a similar curl to mine and as far as I know I am 100% white) but one of my classmates is also 3/4 w // 1/4 b but she looks 1/2 w // 1/2 b her skin is darker and her hair is a 3c/4a. Haha genetics is so fun.

Could the British part also come from the Hong Kong side of the family? And France and Spain are right beside each other, there is bound to be some dna-intermingling, I suppose - I'm Northern German, so very close to Denmark (actually the borders varied throughout the centuries), and I got no German but about a quarter of Scandinavian back from my dna-test

i'm really looking forward to the other tests, it's cool that you do multiple ones! ~ i'm mixed raced asian as well and really want to do a test like that ;;

STILL LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE. LOVE U ❤️❤️❤️

British and Irish? WELCOME TO THE LAND OF FRECKLES & SPF50. I'm going to do this test because I'm mostly Irish and Scottish

What is in your DNA isn't perse reflective of the whole picture of your background. Because you always only get half of your parent it could very much be that the Spanish part was on the other half that you didn't get. Your sisters DNA result would probably look immensely different from yours because she got different parts from your parents. You should view the results of this test as a 'shard' of information of a bigger story rather than _the complete story_. Also, what does one make of a certain decent? It could be that someone's parents moved to a different place, the child could feel 100% of the country that they grew up in without having literal roots there.

I think it would be cool to connect with your family in the UK and see if you can find out more about your grandfather from their history.

When I started watching your channel, I was convinced your are Native American and then Chinese, if that makes any sense. 🤔 This so cool to find out😊

Yass another video and your brows 😍😍

Hi Stephanie! I just wanted to let you know there's this other website called WeGene that lets you import your 23andMe data and you can get more in detail about your Chinese heritage in case you were curious!

How are you so fleeky all the time! 😍 I think I’m finally going to get this done!

Spanish men are quite pale as well! Pale with dark hair features but can tan.

It would be good to compare full Sisters. Because phenotype does not always match genotype.

I've always liked watching DNA videos XD I'm shocked with your results, too!! I wanted to do one, but it sucks that they can't go into depth about Southeast Asian countries.. Anyways, I look forward to your other results hehe.

You are a combination of a whole lot of pretty!

I think you have some hispanic roots. I was born in Norway from a Norwegian dad and a Bolivan mom and I look like Thai or a girl from Philippine. I don't know why lol. Yes, my parents are my parents but we believe that asian were around Latin America for some time but unlike spaniards they did not mess-up with the culture. Everytime I go to any asian restaurant specially Thai or Vietnamese they look at me and start speaking their language. However, one time I was in New York and some lady asked me if I was or have a Native American roots lol ...

Europe has a lot of history in between the countries, a lot of migrations and such. My mom family is Polish and has a lot of f*ed up history like pregnancy before wedding, adoption and all... But we actually have more knowledge about where people were from than my dad's family that is suspiciously all French. No Spanish, Italian, belge ..? Like officialy everyone is French as far as we can look, but you know how it is... Long story short, I'm half French, half Polish, but people tend to think I'm mixed Mediterranean, sometimes not even white. People like to think I'm mixed Arab or Asian which doesn't make sense at all but ok xD

Wait, what is this thing about flushing when drinking and taking Zantac? Really interesting video!

Stephanie, I love your earrings! Please tell us where you got them from.

East asian turkic people and mongolian are connected with native American.

Loved this video!! I’m gonna try this !!!

so cool, I didn't know they could do traits like muscular composition and stuff! also they caught GSK through familial DNA from a service like this :|

Loved this!

Woohoo first and I’ve been interested in these dna tests!!!

Yes! Do it Steph! 😃

I was surprised by my results. I’m mixed race and didn’t really know much about my dad’s background. It was cool to finally get some answers.

I did not know she was your sister!!! Omg!

Do it who knows what you'll find, the word is about the discovering the undiscovered

Super interesting! Thanks for sharing ❤️

Hey! I know this video is from 3 years ago, and I don’t see that you posted the other companies results. I’m curious if there were any big differences between the three sets of results. Maybe not, since you only did a video for 23 & Me. I would expect most of mine to be Northwestern Europe, and I don’t like that 23 & Me seems to lump those all together. I want one that can differentiate between the various countries.

I did the 23 and me too. I’ve knew my background was half Viet and half Mexican. Mexicans are Aztec and Spanish so results show as native Americans and European. My results were 48% Asian 30%Native American and the rest European

Hello Darling, I love your videos. I always think they're amazing :) I just wanted to warn you regarding 23andMe though. Please be skeptical and dig into some research with any/all online DNA testing. Beyond the privacy issues, the whole telling you your ethnicity thing doesn't make sense if you think about it. Ethnicity is a completely social construction that just tells us where you were born aka a place which has borders which were decided upon by other people. Also, 23andMe (and all companies like it) is only comparing DNA within their own DNA database so that will skew the results. Try taking a mail order DNA test from another company and the results will be different. Again, LOVE YOU and this is not a criticism! Just a little "think this over" comment :) XOXO!

FYI, you weren't clear about what you meant by your dad "not looking Spanish at all" but the people from Spain are by majority White Europeans.

So interested in this!

Fabulous eyebrows!

I’m so curious what would your sister’s result be..🤔 because she looks more mix

So happy you've done this too, it looks so intersting! But why did you keep saying just English and not saying British and Irish? haha It's like you thought Britain/UK is just England! I'm English... but this would really offend some of my Irish, Scottish and Welsh friends. So just be careful Stephanie! Also, I've just done the Ancestry DNA test and waiting for my results! SO EXCITING I have no idea what it could say :D xoxo

The really small percentage from broadly east asian and native American Come from mongols they share a common ancestor

I did mine too girl and I was shook !!!!!! Lol just tell people you’re mixed !!! That’s what I do.

I'm fairly certain Native Americans originated from Asia so that would explain why that comes up.

Cool video! Iberian peninsula includes Spain. Also, most Spaniards are fair skinned. In Mexico there is a lot of variance in skin tone, like one sibling might be really white and blue eyed and their other sibling very dark skinned, due to Spanish conquests of the country. The darker skin tones are from Native American tribes in Mexico. Idk if maybe you were thinking more Mexican rather than Spanish? Not that it really super matters 🌈 🙆🏻‍♀️

this makes me want to take the test too ! i'm mixed asian and european as well

where are your earrings from? love them!

I did this test too and found out I wasn’t who I thought I was. I have a Portuguese last name... but I’m 100% Asian. My dad was also told he was something that he may not be.....gotta get my dad tested!

That was a good ass video, very interesting !! Is this an american company or canadian can also do it. You should get your dad and sister to do the test. X

I think you should write to your relatives. I don’t think that it’s invasive because they did dna tests as well and want to find out their ancestors .

You look like Nikki Gil and Cindy Kurleto. Both are actress from the Philippines.

My grandmother is a lot darker than me and has black hair. She swore she was half Native American. I took a DNA test and found out I’m mostly German ... with no Native American whatsoever. I told my parents not to tell my grandmother because she prided herself on being Native American and had a bunch of Native American collectors dolls! They told her anyway 🙄 she and none of the other family believed the test 😂. Some Turkish dna showed up in my profile, so I’m guessing that’s where her darker skin came from. I did the National Geographic one, which didn’t provide a whole lot of detail, so I would be interested to try this one!!!

how accurate is this tho

I did myheritage, ancestry, 23andme, livingdna... uploaded results to familytreedna. and gedmatch.

It's been awhile since you uploaded this, but have you ever uploaded your 23andMe raw data to Wegene? They specialize in East Asian DNA. If you do, make sure you switch over to the Chinese language version and have Chrome translate to English. You get ALOT more info on the Chinese site. Including a health report 23andMe wants you to pay for.

The Native American is in there because anthropologically they share traits with South East Asians, so that's why that percentage is on there :) But this is super interesting, did you catch it said you're likely to have a lot of freckles?

I've always thought you and your sister both looked super mixed!!!!
