I did My heritage. I wasnt born in New Orleans, but i was raised there. Both sides of my family are from there. And, surprise! My closest connections were Louisiana through Cuba, with a close match with the Creoles of Color of Louisiana. So, now i claim myself as Creole.

Cool! I’m from New Orleans, my results were 50% West African 49% European (mainly France) and 1% Native. CraZy!

It’s not necessarily inaccurate These are estimates. Genetic ancestry shuffles when being pass downn

Great info. I’ve tried Ancestry back in the day but I’ll try 23 and me next time.

I had to look into the "white papers" on both 23 and Me and Ancestry for specifics; I have more Italian than Iberian (primarily French Basque) or French and German. Thanks in part to uploading with companies like Family Tree DNA, I eventually found out about my numerous ethnicities. KY indigenous ancestry averages about 1-2% (Lumbee, Mayan and Echota Cherokee are detected most often).

Wow!!! You are mixed with EVERYTHING! You are the future 😀

I also have ancestors from Lousiana whom were french some comoanies pinpointed sub sharan African and Native American Dna i just orderd a 23andme kit too we are so mixed i have cousins in America Puerto rico were all brothers and sisters White or Black or Asian ❤

Hey Dominique. You are just absolutely stunning and such a rich heritage. Have you considered trying CRI Genetics? Now, they can give your African heritage down to the tribe. My tribes are Yoruba, Mende and Esan. Now, my maternal grandmother's maiden name was Fontaine, which is French. Yet Ancestry DNA and 23 and Me never picked it up. However, CRI Genetics did. I am French at 7.8 percent. Furthermore, my paternal uncle had been telling me we have Italian ancestry--I didn't believe him. Italian came up on my DNA with CRI Genetics at 13 percent. Just giving you something to consider. Enjoyed your DNA episode. Keep up the good work.

Believe it or not there are a lot of Creoles that have German in them I think it came from world war 1 and 2, I've watched so many documentaries on cultural groups your ancestry is lighting my head up with history 🤯 I'm hook on this channel 😂

I've been on an ancestry test youtube wander this week, and thing that has stood out to me above all, is how skewed they all are against giving French results - most likely due to how they group and categorize them. Your French result is the highest I've seen.

I just came to the realization that I am MultiGenerationally Mixed. I don't have anyone I know of in my family that is fully Black. But we just always said, "we're Black and that's it." So Thank you for this vid bc I am going to get my DNA results and I wanted to see the differences btw the different companies.

Im glad i found your video, you lady are stunning, gorgeous really beautiful, in Mexico we call your etnicity "Mulatas" wich is the sons of Europeans and African parents. I am Mexican and in Mexico mulatas is not a thing, but you can see beautiful mulatas hispaic ladies in Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Venezuela, lots of African heritage( Congo, Senegal ) and Spanish and Italian ancestry. I got my ancestry test and i am 57 % Indigenous native Mexican and the other half 43% Spanish European .

The French and German mixture makes plenty of sense when you consider the gingerbread architecture which are prevalent in Haiti and New Orleans

Good stuff!!

Is it common for people with spanish/portuguese ancestry to get a little north african as well? On 23andMe I have a small amount of spanish/portuguese with no north african and on AncestryDNA with the hack that shows your original percentages before they round them it shows I have a small amount of north african dna with no spanish/portuguese.

When I took the 23andme test I ended up with 2.5% Spanish & Portuguese, my paternal grandmother's maiden name is french but i didn't see any french in my results unless it's hiding out in my "Broadly Northwestern Europe" category. Is this a sign that I may have had creole ancestors?

Your heritage is very interesting! My heritage overall is 47 % Nigerian (Fulani/Hausa), 14 % Cameroonian (Bamoun), 15 % (Sierra Leone Mandinka), 7% North African (Fulani/Tuareg), 3 % East African (Kenyan), = 86 % African 8 % Irish/Scottish, 3 % Finnish, 1% Italian, 1% Germanic Europe (possibly French) = 13 % European 1 % South Asian (East Indian) Quite surprising lol😅

My highest African percentage is Nigerian too! I think I said that on the other video. My highest European percentage is Scottish. 27%.

You can find out what your MtDNA people are from African Ancestry.

I thought hall would have higher Angola/Congo results. Congo square and They said they named the prison in Louisiana to Angola penitentiary as it was so many Angolans slaves in lousiana , it was a reminder that their desendants will always be imprisoned

I’m from Louisiana I got no French or Spanish I only got British and Irish 50/50 black and white

71% African/ 29% Nigerian 1% Nigerian east central (idk the real difference lol) 1% southern Bantu ppl 12% western Bantu ppl/cameroon/congo 9% Mali 9% Benin&Togo 7% Ivory Coast& Ghana 3% Senegal 28% European/ 8% wales 7% Norway 4% Irish 3% English& northern Western Europe 3% French 2% German 1% Scottish 1% indigenous North America My grandma was a quarter African and always just identified as creole and my distant cousins are I guess mgm yt and I’m the opposite mix. My dad parents were def 3 quarters more African and my mom was half 60/40 range. My mom dad was 39% European This was ancestry DNA

I have French cero cause my dad from Louisiana I did myheritage, genemolink cost only 20 something to break it down found my Asian and Viking on it, mytrueancestry is free where I found my Egyptian&Nubian,kioshan&moor,kioshan&al-anulindus,yourba&kioshain

It’s crazy how genetics works. Just by looking at you, I would’ve thought you were less than 50% African

My girlfriend and our son are creole. Maybe you guys are related she found out she had some distant cuban ancestry through her creole lineage.

Im from CenLa (Central Louisiana) i have Spanish, African, French & 4% Native. I ❤my heritage

is gueringer sometimes spelled geringer

Just ordered mine. Ibcant wait for the results. Everyone and strangers always asks me where am from. I look like im from xxx and xxx. Now, im as curious as they.

Ok, so you need to know more about European History when it comes to the relationship between the countries we know now, and as Spain, France, and such. The Basques are in both Spain and France in the past and in the present day. France and Germany (as well as Belgium) had borders that were very fluid up until the 20th century. The provinces of Alscace and Loraine were in France, then in Germany, and now back in France. Belgium (which combined two different peoples, French Walloons and Dutch-Flemish) and didn't even exist until 1839. So, I would postulate that your ancestors were from those Northeastern provinces of France that bordered Germany. Whether they were French or German depended on the year we are talking about. In my own Creole ethnicity, I have a lot of vague things in Ancestry that say England and Northwestern European, so who is that? The Celts and the Norman French, that's who. The Celts are Scottish, Welsh, Irish, as well as French (but only in the provinces of Normandy and Brittany) Spanish (but only in Galicia), and Belgian. Most of the Acadians were Celts that came from Normandy and Brittany, so this makes sense. So, it is critical to understand not only European history but also where people were and are--their ethno-geographic history. The same thing goes for Africa and colonization. Who colonized who is also critical, and understanding that some of these peoples (I hate the word "tribe") were nomadic, and not specific to the regions in which 21st-century humans want to place them. That is why you get "broadly" this or that. They roamed! So, just thought that as a former Geography Teacher, as well as a professor, you should consider the validity of some of your assumptions about whether or not the DNA companies are right or wrong about your family. Just because you have a French last name doesn't make you "French". I have an Irish last name...I am a Creole Black woman. But when you understand slavery, the two geographic regions that comprise me (Louisiana/East Texas and Virginia/North Carolina), an Irish name in the Virginia area for my Dad's family sounds right. When you know more about the shifting nature of nation-states and the histories of the various peoples that lived in them, you understand your own ancestral history a lot better. Best wishes with your channel. My recommendation is to not be afraid to go deep, do some research, perfect, and refine your assumptions about our people, because there is a great deal of depth here, and you have only begun to scratch the surface. But to be taken seriously (and to have meaningful conversations), you could benefit from a deeper dive and not just use your own family perspective---there is a much larger historical perspective that is actually seminal to understanding us as an ethnic group. Tell the entire story, and don't just "keep it light"--do some studying, and broaden your approach. If you do that, your channel will grow. Our history isn't always light and fluffy. It has some challenging and painful parts regarding what Creoles had to do to maintain their status in LA and the Gulf, and it wasn't always pretty. Those stories deserve to be told, too. Good luck!

At just 1% do you feel Native American.

You should try African ancestry or yourportaldna.

french and German have similar DNA. You def have mostly french.

This reads like everyone who takes these fake test
