I've been to El Salvador 3 different times and I searched high and low and it's heart breaking that there is virtually no archaeological artifacts from our native American ancestors. When I learned of the horrible genocide and massacres of the native people including as late as the 1930's and 1940's then later massacres that planted the seed for the civil war, it all made sense. Basically the darker your skin and if you dressed indigenous, you were dead man walking. People tried to dress "white" and got rid of any statues or idols that could deem them as less than catholic and therefore could get you killed. It's impressive the way people tried to hide their native roots just to survive....

Don't listen to the haters bro! Why would anybody want to fake their genetic makeup! People are probably expecting you to be blonde/ have bright colored eyes just because you have high percentage of European blood perhaps. Little do they know phenotype does not always correlate with the amount of genetic make up in you. Im glad you shared your results. My parents are also from El Salvador. You are welcome to check out my results on my page. Thanks for the informative video by the way.

More likely there were a lot of sailors in your ancestry, race isn't real but racism is!

It looks like you are a part of most of the continents of the world. That is great. There were about 200 families that the Romans carried to Europe and they became Ash ken azee Jews. These are the Jews of Europe. Iberia had the Sephardi Jews from Arabia. Have a good life and may you be blessed with many healthy children!

Hey Robert there was a significant amount of Italian immigrants who left the peninsula ,during the 19th century, to Central America. Perhaps, many of them were from Sardinia. A lot of Sicilians moved to the States and a lot of northern Italians migrated to Brazil. My family is from Northern El Salvador and from what I've read from local historians is that many Galicians(Northern Spain) arrived during the colonial period and settled there. Hope it helps.

Beautifully said. No shame just progress.

Great video, Thank you for your openness and honesty. (Also, Pt 1 your first DNA result video).

A likely hypotheses for your European ancestors not being Iberian is that they were recent immigrants to Spain from south and Central Europe who eventually migrated to the americas from Spain

Your results were one of the most shocking to me when I first clicked on your video I guessed 60% Native American , 35% Iberian , 5% North African , the Ashkenazi might be tied with the Sicilian there was and still is (as far as I know) a big Ashkenazi presence in Sicily especially in the city of Palermo

I appreciate this so much! You have beautiful genetic makeup. Thank you for the uplifting and commissioning mission. 💕 I am digging deeper into what native tribes I’m connected to and came across your videos, they are so helpful. My mom is from La Union. My dad from Nicaragua. I cant wait to get my results. Blessings!

This is neat! I really appreciate your positive message too!

upload to GEDmatch.com it breaks it down even more. love your spirit.

Being native American is cool

My dad and his whole family from el salvador, was up primo 😂

Bravo, I love watching DNA video. I will be sending my results to GEDmatch and others. thank you for the info

100 percent salvadorena just born in the USA. 38 percent native American and the rest mostly Iberian peninsula and 8 percent British. I keep telling my dad to start using better adjectives to describe our beautiful Brown skin. The way even their voice changes in Spanish when they say prieto, short, Indio hits me really wrong. I tell him why not use morena piel canela. Don't let racism unconsciously make us ashamed of our native American blood. Thank you for staying so positive!!

Yeah it's hard to believe that most of the people who went on to settle all of the region of Mexico and South America including of course all the Amazonian tribes..came down through whats now Alaska and Canada. and 15,000 years ago people hadn't yet even reached that far south...they were just getting to what is now the United States. They started moving into South America 12,000 years ago.. South America was the last major human migration on Earth... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_human_migration#/media/File:Spreading_homo_sapiens_la.svg

Attractive combo 🙂

2 thumbs up. You appear to be enthusiastic and curious about yourself so consider these questions for edification: WHO fabricated the wicked notion of classifying humans into different races? What purpose did it serve? Who benefited?

I liked your videos a lot and I tried to upload my dna data from 23andMe to wegene.com and unfortunately they don’t take the direct uploading since September. It stated I can still upload my raw data...but I’m not sure how to do that. Do you? Thank you!

I wanna test my DNA too, pretty sure I'm gonna be half native and eroupean too since I'm Mexican, it'll explain why I still get sunburned even in cloudy conditions😂

Very beautifully said.

Beautiful 😍

Given the comments all of the videos, I think people take these genetic tests a little too literally. Let's not forget that they are mostly an educated guess and nothing more. They are certainly not a genealogy tree.

Nice video, I watched other salvadorians dna test results and I'm also surprise that we are such mix of races. I have to do mine, people have hard time placing me in any particular country, (except africa) which company do you recommend?

Ancestry gave me only 2 per cent Iberian, but WeGene gave me 29.84 per cent "Spain". Both sites gave me about 1 per cent Native American, but on DNA Land I got 1.20 per cent Native America [Ambiguous Native American]. Ancestry gave me mostly Irish. I have no paper trail to Ireland, the Iberian Peninsular or any Native American people. It's all a bit random. Have you tried the new MyHeritage one?

that's so weird I would of guessed you were higher native american, my parents are Salvadoran too but we are all fair skinned people are surprised when I tell them I speak Spanish and I got 45% native american 41% Europe 8% Africa and rest west Asia... I guess you can't go by how someone looks🤔

i am very surprised that your Iberian dna is so low. But the most likely explanation is that your white ancestors are more recent immigrants to ES. if you think about it, your indigenous dna is more pure as it did not mingle with the conquistadors. I think you should be honored that you have a very unique ancestry. have you talked with older members of your family? whether it be grandparent or great aunts and uncles.

Mmm sorry to burst you bubble, but the AVERAGE Spaniard only has around 55% Iberian. The rest is mostly Italy/Greece and Irish/British. And it is not just because of the Romans, it is also native peninsular dna that Ancestry has just decided to label Italy/Greece. The Irish/British is from the Iberian Celts. So even with those results it's still entirely plausible that none of your ancestors ever set foot in either the British isles or Italy/Greece.

YUP even tho we Salvadorans speak funny to most other Latino country's we are very native or very European since there was no Afro descendants in my lil country as slavery was abolished and gypsies , Palestinians and Jews were allowed in the early years, as well as asians in the gold rush years in North America as the Salvadoran port was one of the first in the Pacific ocean , I am so curious to know if my great great father was the guy from the Ricola commercial , lmao

So true. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Very interesting how much the results differ by which company analyzes the same DNA. I'm very curious about just what would come up for me in these tests.

Hey Robert. Do you mind explaining to me how you accessed your information through dna.land? I've been trying to access my stuff and I've been following the directions carefully but I can't seem to get my ethnicity results. Do you mind helping a little on how you did yours? Thanks, Ricky

The thing about Ancestry DNA results is that they are averages (or means, rather), and when you click on each region result, you should see a range. For example, I got 3% for my Iberian Peninsula result, but my range was 0%-11%, so I could have as little as no Iberian ancestry or as high as 11% Iberian ancestry. You have to look at your results in terms of those ranges rather than the initial averages that you see because they sometimes reveal how uncertain and imprecise Ancestry DNA can be. That doesn't mean the results are made-up. It's just that they are fuzzy. As for your high Italian ancestry, that really does sound interesting. I wonder whether it's apparent from the surnames of your ancestors.

Hi Rob I am wondering what is the most test of DNA of Salvador tests on 23 and me or ancestry?

(corazon)

That's like saying colors aren't real cause we invented language race is your heritage cmon guys and gals use your brains

So it makes more sense cause they have you the results you wanted?

I WONDER IF THEY JUST SEE WHERE YOU COME FROM AND THEY JUST PUT SOME EDUCATED GUESS....LIKE ANY LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRY....AND THEY JUST SAY WHAT WE ALL KNOW....NATIVE, SPANISH, AND AFRICAN.....I MEAN, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO DO ANY TESTS....JUST PUT SOME RANDOM PERCENTAGES AND VOILA!!! SO JUST A QUICK BUCK WITH NO ACTUAL TEST!!!

Try Gedmatch.com

Gypsy ancestry?

Shocking? To me that would be 56 percent from Mars 10 percent from earth

you know this is fake?

You are not a new race....human race that's what I'm....what are you
