I'm an Australian, however I have the most DNA relatives in America, I am struggling to understand why my DNA matches with The Rockefeller, McCormick and Dudley Winthrop families. Any ideas on where I should start?

So many Italians need to take this ancestry test because they do have middle eastern and sometimes subsaharan African ancestry. Have more Italian, Spaniard, Portuguese and Greek guests. I want to see their results

Thanks very much for commenting. We're grateful for the opportunity to offer a helping hand. Contacting your DNA Matches and comparing your family trees will be a great place to start! Using tools and like ThruLines and Common ancestor hints can be really helpful when working out how you're related to your Matches too. We'll link a guide below that we do hope can assist you a little: support.ancestry.com.au/s/article/Discovering-How-You-re-Related-to-AncestryDNA-Matches We wish you all the best in your research moving forward!

Yet people are still fighting over countries and land history teaches us nothing live and let live means nothing to to some folks

Ikr. It's crazy how fast time flies. We're here for such a short time.

Not by God

You have to teach your children about their parents and grandparents if not further back. You should have photos of them in your home if you have them. Tell stories about your memories of them. Make them come your life. And, join ancestral organizations!! Find your entire famiky tree.

That’s why people spend lifetimes tracing their ancestry and trying to capture the bits and pieces that survive to create a tapestry of remembrance and honour.

His father's mother was Italian. so He's not just Italian in name only.

That's what I thought. With Joe's Italian last name, I thought his family's ancestry was completely Italian.

And he looks a bit like Steven Bauer

@@mikeross641 listen to the whole episode.

Look into Armenian and italian history. It will surprise you.

😢

I did not know about the genocide…..was balling😢…….Despite the bad, these people, and many including my ancestors….though out history were survivors……just amazing and i personally think they should never be forgotten….had a history lesson last night……..

Joe Manganiello's story about his grandmother was unreal. I had never heard of Armenian genocide. Fascinating episode.

Hi JC, thanks for watching.

@@Mary-cg1sl it was dreadful

We are happy that you enjoy the show, Lorri!

❤

Joe is easy on the eyes❤

Isn't this man married to Sofia Vergara? He filed for divorce from her just recently. Sad when marrrriages break up. Hope they reconcile.

​@@christineleblond7777he wants children and she doesn't want to have any more. They love one another but are not likely to resume a union.

How much does he charge?

Absolutely agree with you! Honestly is an awesome word! ❤

there's an African saying that when a child is born, an ancestor returns.

It look like me, come on niggah. No one has that nose of yours.

I am a Jamaican immigrant and I know about the Armenian Genocide that Turkey tries to downplay. It will never be forgotten.

The inaccurate education offered to most Americans

I read up on it 20 years ago. Shocking stuff. I always find it baffling that the genocides and the African slave trades of the Ottomans and Arabs are always overlooked.

I am a black person who was raised in America and I know all about the atrocities against the Armenian people by the Turkish government.

Funny, I first learned about the Armenian on because of Keeping up with the Kardashians. Apparently they still go there (unfilmed) because they have relatives there.

Can’t help but be overwhelmed with emotions after seeing Joe's reaction. There's so much to take away from each and every show, glad that you're enjoying it!

Type in manganiello & gutfeld at KZfaq search tool. Be prepared. 5 1/2 mins long

Ooh thank you...from Armenia❤

Thanks for your kind words, Jackie! We're glad you enjoyed this video! Are you interested in learning more about your own family tree?

I think his german roots are stronger. Him and his german great grandpa look very similar.

Me too! Absolutely agree. I watch, Finding Your Roots, every week and it's become my favourite show on tv. Tonight's show was truly exceptional! I was crying one moment, gasping in shock the next, to laughing with great joy. What a rollercoaster of emotion for all of us and I can't begin to imagine the emotions that Joe Manganiello and his family are experiencing. I also loved learning of his Armenian heritage, as far too.many people are not aware of this horrifuc period in history! Every show is entertaining and often times educational, but tonight was brilliant and I applaud the guests, Tony Gonzalaz and Joe Manganiello. Well done gentlemen. BRILLIANT SHOW, thank you! (🇨🇦)

This was truly a powerful moment!

Yes indeed - I’ve always said that there’s something profoundly spiritual to be able to connect with your past and so many others with genetic and documental genealogy. Dr. Gates is an inspiration

He’s a One Drop fanatic. He’s rebooted eugenics he’s doing the white supremacists type of “Christian” work.

PBS

On PBS.

Wonderful feeling when Armenian blood matters .

Yes what season and episode is it

We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed his story so much, @lyricaldove! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us!

Very strong...that the 3rd generation still has their features. Its is amazing indeed.

@Nicky L Good thing no one asked

I bet when he goes over to meet them he will find family members that look just like him.

@@samanthab1923 Some resemblance but he also looks a lot like his Armenian ancestors - beautiful eyes. And possibly some of those African ancestors too... I recall they showed a photo of his father. He is certainly very striking looking!

Never heard of him, and I'm a film buff.

@@piustwelfthso you’ve never seen Spider-Man, Spider-Man 3, the end credits of justice league, how I let your mother, and many other films and shows he’s done?

Great-granddad

@@JoshSweetvale Sorry, just corrected it:-), thanks for pointing it out!

The German soldier didn't marry her though. He took advantage of a woman is a dire circumstances and then abandoned her and his own child.

Hi Susan, thanks for watching! We are happy to hear that you love Finding Your Roots.

Hi JL, it's great to see that you are enjoying the show!

Dr. Henry Louis truly is a gem. We love hearing about how he has inspired you to look even deeper into your ancestry. This would be such an incredible gift to your parents.

U are Mexican?? where from

Speaking as a Pakistani I can tell you about 99 percent of us don't take DNA tests

@Nicky L - what a condescending comment

@@bcent5758 - No, it wasn’t.

Hello Alina, I’m a DNA Genealogist. I have some experience with Pakistani/Indian DNA. I would say that the databases are growing day by day. Not as great as Northern European origins. The only issue is the documentation. Remember Pakistan was created in 1947. I’ve had issues tracing records, birthdates incorrect. The people taking the tests don’t attach trees. Nothing is impossible. You can do many things from 1 dna test.

Hi Alina. We would like to thank you for your support of our community. We understand that it can be tough to progress on occasion and recognize why the assistance of an expert such as Dr. Gates would be of great support to any researcher. We're delighted that you've enjoyed this latest video and will do our best to help out in anyway we can. We're afraid that submissions for casting the next season of Finding Your Roots have recently closed. We hope you will have the opportunity to make a submission for consideration at a future date and are sorry for any disappointment. Currently, our test is not available for purchase in Pakistan so you may not yet see many close DNA matches from this country appear in your results. We're constantly broadening the availability of our test and have recently expanded to take in over 128 countries across the globe: support.ancestry.com/s/article/Countries-Where-AncestryDNA-is-Available?language=en_US. We hope that this can further expand in the future and stand ready to assist you in making the most of your current results should you ever feel like reaching out with any questions for our team. We wish you all the very best in achieving your goals. 🌳

Elaine, I hope that one day you are successful in finding your family history. The Lat Family is waiting to be found.

🤞Start with a DNA test. You may not have Chinese or Argentina in your dna. I am nearly 100% African DNA.

@@whileblackinvegas8069 Argentinan isn't a DNA unless she is indigenous

Armenians are not Middle Eastern. They are Indo-European.

​@@TenTenJArmenia is in Asia. It's listed as Asian not European on DNA tests.

​@@TenTenJ Hello my friend. The above commentator did not mean Armenians were Europeans, but an Indoeuropean group of people, Armenians share more genetics with southern Europeans, also some Jews than with Asians, for your knowledge Asia is mostly India, China, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Phillipnes, Pakistan, etc... Armenians are not Asian, and Armenia geographically is not in Asia, please educate yourself more.

@@harmony5807 i’m not the one that said Armenians are Asian. The prefix indo does not mean India. I agree with your statement fully.

@@TenTenJ sorry it was ment for the friend above Ronsquaremy👍😅

And Croatian. His maternal grandfather is from Dalmatia in Croatia.

He also found out in the whole episode that his paternal grandfather was part African-American a well. It was a pretty good episode.

What a mix! Celebrate it all 🎉🎉!!

@Lily_of_the_Forest You forget to include African.

Thanks for watching! We know what it feels like to come up against a brick wall when doing research. We have an article on our support site with some research tips that be of some help, support.ancestry.com/s/article/Overcoming-Roadblocks-in-Your-Research?language=en_US

Thanks very much for your recent comment, Jane! You can enjoy the new 9th season of Finding Your Roots, with all new episodes, every Tuesday evening on your local PBS station.

Wait Brachanov (his moms last name) is Croatian last name and Croatians are very tall

Wow one year later they r divorced n he’s starting a family with another woman. Things can change quickly

We're so happy to hear that you were able to get past this brick wall and wish you the best of luck in all of your research to come!

@@AncestryUS Oh ok, I see that I will get to search through records and documents myself using this site, just like on the show Finding your roots! how cool! Thanks for that added info and help and I will include this in my DNA journey. I may end up getting into hardcore, who knows! I think it's fascinating!
