Actually, no French Canadian that I know of. Mostly German, English and Irish with that tiny bit of Ashkenazi Jewish that you mentioned. Did you notice that tiny bit of Druze that FamilyTreeDNA picked up? Could that be related to the Jewish ancestor? Also, any thoughts on why FamilyTreeDNA shows Eastern European but Ancestry, 23andme, and MyHeritage do not?

@GeneaVlogger 3 жыл бұрын

Huh, I don't know why I thought you had French Canadian ancestry. It has been a while since I saw the video about your family tree, so I must have mixed it up! I didn't notice the Druze but it certainly could be related to that Jewish ancestry, although at less than 1% I imagine it may just be a misread. The Eastern European on FTDNA might just be how they are reading some of your German ancestry, especially since that Eastern European reading seems concentrated in present-day Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland. You'll notice as well that the only 'German' in the FTDNA reading is 4% Central Europe, so that makes it seem even more likely that it's just how they are defining your German ancestry.

@@UsefulCharts In addition it needs to be noted that just because someone came from Germany or identified as German by no means needed to be from German descent. In the eastern provinces of the German Empire a lot of the inhabitants were slavs that were culturally assimilated over the centuries. In addition a lot of people moved from the mostly rural and poor eastern provinces to the industrial centers in the west. Therefore a lot of people with a for example polish background at a DNA level would end up identify as German. Similar things happened within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but within an Empire that was ethnically a lot more diverse then the German Empire.

I tested with Ancestry, uploaded wherever I could. FTDNA gave me the most accurate admixture according to my family tree (100% Italian, all my great grandparents emigrated to the US from southern Italy, and I can trace most lines to the 1700s). I also got trace results for Druze and Yemenite Jewish,which from what I have read are genetically quite similar.

Its important to remember they aren't actually reading your ancestry, they are comparing your genetics to other people with known family trees. This works pretty well with Europeans, or any group with migration records to the new world, but realistically most of the ethnicities from even 200 years ago were not even identified before they were lost, let alone recorded. If you are from the Americas or Africa or even much of Asia the detailed information to place your ancestors on the map just arent there.

My grandma always told us she was Yaqui which is a tribe recognized by the USA and Mexico it cover parts of North Mexico and South West USA also my European ancestors came from the Basque Country, Portugal and Asturias, Spain , I started a family tree and found my ancestors the left Europe and settled on Mexico in 1836 from one side of the family I haven’t work the far on my moms side .

I did Ancestry and am matching to more than 162k people. I had my father do a dna test in order to see which side of my family was my mother’s (she’s deceased) and which was my father’s side. It didn’t help much. It’s like 90% match to my dad. This includes relatives that I know are on my mother’s side. It seems like my parents are distantly related, but I have not found a common ancestor. I’m Puerto Rican and have multiple countries mated to me. I matched up to someone who is clearly non-hispanic through my 2% Irish. I am 62 and my father was 93 and I never expected to have so many people be related to me.

That's normal on the Caribbean islands. My parents are from Dominican Republic, I tested them and they're not related but I found out some distant great-grandaunts and uncles of my mother and father married and that's why I get matches from the both sides. It could happen to you, especially if they come from the same region in Puerto Rico.

I found this very interesting. I live in California, my family has been here since between 1900 and 1930. I have done DNA testing on Ancestry, FTDNA and 23andMe. I have been doing genealogy for about 3 years. On Ancestry I started finding a lot of cousin matches which seemed to match on both my mother’s lines and my father’s. Well, it turns out that because both of the families had large portions of the families that go way back in American history and there looks to be quite a bit of Endogamy. My mother’s lines include ancestors from Jamestown(early Virginia/Kentucky), Mayflower(early Massachusetts ), and early New York and New Jersey. mtDNA chromosome seems to be H1u1 and may lead to the Netherlands. For my father’s Y-chromosome DNA, I have recently tested my brother, but haven’t received the results yet, but I have traced most of that family back to the 1500s in Switzerland (went to Switzerland in 2019 and hired genealogists to help there), they are the most recent emigrants. The other side of his family can trace most of it’s roots back to early Virginia/Kentucky, and Mayflower(early Massachusetts). Both sides followed the general early migrations through upstate New York, then to Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri then on to Minnesota and the Dakotas and finally to California. It seems that a lot of the Mayflower descendant families tended to settle in the same communities. Both sides are predominantly British, Irish, Scottish, Germanic, French, and general Western European. This helps clear up why I was finding so many distant cousins who matched both sides. I have downloaded my DNA kits to GEDMatch and am doing most of this research on my own. BTW…my daughter-in-law is Chinese, from Beijing, your Chinese wife video was of interest to me as well.

Ancestry gets it pretty spot on, while FTDNA says I am roughly 2/3 Irish, 1/3 Polish, with traces of Finnish (My Y-DNA Haplogroup is N) and the Caucuses Region (Unsure what’s that’s from).

Something so interesting is my uploads are different from the purchased kits with my results. And I purposefully didn't add under my own purchased accounts on purpose using an alias. While they had some major similarities, this equally had major differences. Very interesting for me because even the DNA matches changes too.

@GeneaVlogger 3 жыл бұрын

The reason for that is because each DNA testing company have SNPs which they test for that the others don't. So if you upload your Ancestry results to FTDNA but also take a test through FTDNA, they will be different because some SNPs read by Ancestry won't be included in FTDNA's algorithm but at the same time FTDNA is looking to read SNPs which Ancestry did not include in their reading. They all still test mostly the same SNPs though, but even a small 1% change can make a big difference with these complicated algorithms.

I noticed that in my DNA chart my cousins on my paternal side are not correct, my 1st cousin registers as my 2nd cousin. On my maternal side the relationships are correct. I’m wondering is it because I’m more closely related to my maternal family?

What would you make of around an 8% italian reading in Myheritage but not significant amount of matches in today's Italy? That showed up on my grandfather's test and it was a complete surprise. He's from northern Spain.

@GeneaVlogger 3 жыл бұрын

If you have a single ancestor of Italian ancestry where that is coming from, it would be the equivalent of a Great Grandparent to 2nd-Great to your Grandfather - so a 3rd-great or 4th-great grandparent to you. That would be someone born in about the late 18th century or early 19th century. If this is the case, he may not see many Italian matches because he is of an older generation and the living Italian cousins are so distant that they share little to no dna. It is also possible that none of his close Italian relatives have tested (or at least in the database(s) with your Grandfather's DNA).

@@GeneaVlogger Thank you very much! I was thinking something like that might be the case, but it's nice to have the opinion of a professional. I've started the research and I've found 3 generations (1700s) on his grandmother's branch. Looks like I might be able to find that italian ancestor at this rate if they exist. I mostly need time haha. It's quite exciting to have an specific goal.

Spain and Italy are pretty close geographically and have a shared history, so that's not too surprising. In a similar way, a lot of Irish people test as "Scottish" due to mass immigration about 400 years ago

Yea, 23&me gives more specifications on haplogroups, like my paternal is R-CTS24 maternal haplogroup is H2.. My sons paternal haplogroup is E-V13.. I also had my dad take a test and his maternal group is K1a4d.. I was really interested in my ancestry. I’m 99.8 European; 73.1 British & Irish, 19.6 French & German, and 5.0 Broadly Northwestern European which adds up to 97.7. Are there any other options that can break down the European ancestry better? 🤔

I used MyHeritage out of just plain curiosity. I appreciate your explanation of how DNA is trickier than most people know. I’d love to have my genealogy done, too. I’m a descendant of Alexander Hamilton and would LOVE to have verified to some naysayers. I just haven’t looked into it as of yet. I did learn that I’m 89% English, 9.6% Irish and 1.4% Scandinavian. Kinda boring, I know. 😂

I did 23andMe and it blew my mind! I never knew my father but I found my half brother!! I have thousands of “cousins”! Not really….it’s like your ancestors. I uploaded my raw data to GedMatch and it further broke down my ethnicities. Traced back to Saudi Arabia, Iran and east Africa. And the most amazing thing is it showed my Natufian ancestry!! The Natufians are the original people from Africa!! I love the health testing as well! It was spot on with what I’ve been diagnosed with. All fascinating!!

Question! Should I get the Ancestry or MyHeritage test? I live in Canada, but everyone in my family immigrated here within the last 65 years. On my dad’s side we’re Irish and British, so I’m thinking Ancestry would be best, but on my mom’s side we’re 100% Italian, from Calabria. Would MyHeritage be better for that section, or should I just stick with Ancestry?

Even though I knew I was almost 100% Polish, both of my parents' families are quite different with neither one looking Polish. My mom's side looked German while my dad's family looked Romani. My results were predictable (and boring) with the map locations of ancestry being almost 100% of what was once greater Poland. There was a bit of a DNA breakdown between Eastern Europe/Russia 59% and Baltic at 39%, with 1% Swedish and 1% Jewish. The strangest was my original result being listed as Nigerian and Irish!!

I’ve also had experiences with these tests, except for Circle. My 23andMe maternal haplogroup was given as U2e1 and not just U. I wonder if yours aren’t as generic as you’ve assumed they’d be with 23andMe. I’d not ordered the mitochondrial DNA test from FamilyTreeDNA so I am not sure how much more in depth they would be in comparison.
