When I first heard the bearded guy's anticipated mixture, I immediately thought Catholic. From Croatia to Italy to Poland to Ireland, these are ethnicities that would have come together in the US in the Catholic church and often intermarried.

HAHAHA Tinder for Alabama! OK, that was funny. Really like these video analyses, grounding info.

I just sent my dna kit to ancestry; they haven’t even received it yet. I’m not expecting any surprises (heavy, heavy Anglo Saxon family tree) but I’m still excited to see it. I’m obsessed with all your videos. DNA is so intriguing! Thanks!

Run Dusty!! Run!!

I'm French Canadian living in Ontario nearly right on the border of Quebec. My tree is rife with endogamy and pedigree collapse. My mother and father are 1st cousins 1x removed. Some of my DNA matches are connected to me up to 8 different ways, so as you can imagine, the cM counts are very skewed! I'm 86% France, 9% England and NW Europe, 4% African and 1% native. My paternal 4th great grandfather was African from I have no idea where, but he was freed in 1797 at Sorel, Quebec, Canada, just don't know his origins.

I'm a huge cow chop fan and this video was just posted to their reddit. I'm glad that even in death cowchop continues to grow. Funny compared to their other videos you got a pretty tame one, dating cousins aside

its interesting because aside from the Mexican results that were nearly 100% Native American, almost all of the other Mexican results I've seen have had a small African percentage... Usually 10% or less sometimes higher but nearly all had a tiny percentage of west african

I thought the exactly 50% Japanese was pretty impressive. When I've seen people who suspect they're fully or half Japanese do ancestry tests... usually they have a few random percentage points thanks to Japan's history with other Asian countries. I think it would be so cool for you to work with this fellow and see if you can track his family tree. Japan keeps amazing records and so do the Canadians. What's really interesting to me though is it would be SO COOL to find out if that Native heritage is coming from Mexico or Canada because realistically, it could be either. French fur trappers were known to intermarry with the indigenous populations.

My great great grandpa Vit came from Plzen, when it was Bohemia, then Hungary, Austria-Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and now Czech Republic. It sure helped to know the town he came from, and to see how he eventually changed the country of origin in later US Census records. I have done my DNA with Ancestry, but nothing was a surprise, having been working on my family tree since the 1980s.

Your. breakdown of these ancestry videos are cool! 👍🏾

Most of the Africans that were captured were captured by tribes warring against each other and handed over to the Europeans. They would go capture people from another tribe far off so that the Europeans wouldn’t set eyes on their own people. The Kingdom of Dahomey did this for quite some time. Also, most of the ancestors of the diaspora are of the Bantu. They traveled out of other parts of Africa and went into the west. The people’s were most likely already a mixture from the pushback further into Africa when the Arabs tried to invade and convert the people.

Man U missed out on the best part: “Hey if you’re gonna do that then filter out your first 4 cousins at least” “I think filtering out the first 2 should do just fine” “BRO what do you mean?!”

This reminds me of Julia with the Italian cooking show. She learned that her family were really Croatian. I don't remember all the details, but they came from a part of Croatia that had gone back and forth between Italy and Yugoslavia, and her community spoke Italian, and her family considered themselves Italian. The guy in this video might have Italian ancestry that is similar. Poland would come under this eastern European admixture. He said he was part Irish, and that was borne out. I don't know about the rest. It's interesting.

We did a DNA for our dog and have ordered one for ourselves. I'm west African(Liberian) and my wife is Jewish and German...Both my parents come from the same ethnic group cornered in the areas of Sierre Leone, Guinea, and Liberia. I've done some research on lineage and linguistic patterns and am very curious how things will play out especially since my mother has a very British maiden name. We'll be getting our results back in about a month or so. These videos are a great way to tap into some of the preconceptions surrounding group identity and I'm excited to learn more about my historical background.

well that took a turn..

Your videos are so lovely and calming to watch during lockdown in New Zealand

I watched so many of these videos while I was waiting for my test results a few months ago, and most people I saw only had their closest unknown matches as 4th/5th cousins - sometimes 3rd. So I wasn't expecting anything crazy at all. I only did it for the ethnicity estimate tbh. BUT since my results came through, we found a half-brother of my grandma that we never knew existed, and they met up last month! Also more recently, my dad's results came in around 2 weeks ago and a woman who was an unknown close relative on my results, I just assumed was a random cousin of my dad's or something. But when his results came through... it was a 25% match with around 1750cM shared. Turns out we found a half-sister of my dad that we never knew existed either! (we spoke to her and the woman who manages her DNA and all the pieces fit together). Insaaane what unexpected things you can find! I have a new half-granduncle and half-aunt; both on my paternal side. Damn. Also 3 other unknown close matches, one that turned out to be a 1st cousin 2x removed (cousin of my grandma) and one I assume is a 2nd cousin. But yeah.. wow.

This was such fun thank you

AWESOME!!

I love cow chop, they had another channel and they started around 2011 but ended unfortunately in 2020, now they do their own things on twitch But thanks for doing a reaction! I wish more people did reactions to cow chop honestly, thanks for the good content 👍🏾

Your explanations are so helpful! I'm planning to do Ancestry as well soon but I now have a new perspective of what the results actually mean. Thank you!

I grew up on cow chop. This is an awesome crossover episode

Love looking through matches.

So glad I clicked on your channel- really enjoying your videos. I purposefully haven’t done a test yet, but I’m sure you and I are “cousins.” Thanks for sharing your work!

100% Italians usually only get about 40% Italian on these tests, then they normally get high, French, German, Spanish and/or Greek, with the whole Mediterranean and some British and Scandinavian thrown in the mix at low percentages. Italy was the melting-pot of Europe for centuries.

This was pretty funny. DNA tests as a dating app LOL. I've done CRI Genetics and My Heritage, and both pretty much supported each other. I have Ancestry and 23 & Me sitting waiting for me to remember to not drink water for 30 minutes so I can spit. In my family tree there is one dead end on my mom's side, her great grandmother. She's said to be Irish, but the Dublin records fire really messed with getting much there. We have some US census. I'm said to have an italian relative on that side of the family, and her first name (no last name found) could have been italian. Most of what I found pretty much defies my family story. Also with no living male relatives on my father's side, I'm stuck with the testing companies focusing on matrilineal data, leaving me to guess what's left out is my father's side.

I remember Aleks (Blonde guy) saying he grew up in Vladivostok in Eastern Russia. His grandparents lived there too so guessing one side of his family was from there. He actually ended up moving to America and being adopted by an American family when he was young

I took the ancestry dna a few years ago,and there was some Indigenous Americas-Mexico mine is 2%(and 1% central America),My Mom's is 6% IAM,and my Grandmother is 13%IAM.We all came up with 1% Cameroon,Congo,Western Bantu people,we could never figure this out so it comes from the native/mexican? I always wondered how far back I would have had a full native ancestor?

The middle guy was so but hurt.

Garibaldi came from Nice in France. He united Italy, they gave his hometown to France.

It listed the Southeastern Quebec French Settlers in the first guys communities.

I wonder how many people actually wind up hooking up with family unknowingly

Someone on one of my DNA matches put photo of a dog:))

I subscribed.Cool channel bro.

There are tribes of Natives in Canada also.

Were missing out on seeing them up close. Can u do close ups so we can see the influence of each country in features and bone structure. It seems inefficient to just hear their story without seeing the influences.

I sent my first Ancestry DNA test off in early May 21 - It failed late June 2021. Replacement test sent early July 2021 and again failed August 2021. I'm now waiting for the results of the latest DNA test I sent on 22 Aug 21. I can only keep my fingers crossed and hope it works this time. I've followed each test instruction to the letter. So, I'm really frustrated that it hasn't worked - I'm alive, living and 'proof' of that is that I have two daughters and four grandchildren. I'm nearly 60. Old, but not elderly. I've been researching my family history/genealogy since 2006 - many years and hours spent researching and documenting my research! Now, the one thing I need to 'confirm' my research - my spit, is failing me.

One thing that is difficult is when one person lies due to political reasons and has four or five spelling for a last name. Also different languages may have letters that another language doesn’t so an American name is substituted.

A cousin tried to chat me up too on ancestry I came up the family tree to shut him down, it's very creepy, it's like they don't believe the matches 😒 🤮

DNA dating app! Now that's the twist...

Is there a time table we ca. use as a guide for % in years & relations

10:38 mo as dad’s Japanese

Ancestry got rid of my North African DNA. Lets see if they bring it back this month.

I want to know about my origins, where my ancestors come from. Which of the tests will be the best choice?

I have always been curious about my 1% Nigerian. My great aunts did some genealogy research and came up with a background story on a great great grandparent of some sort. Apparently, her mother was Cherokee and in their rolls and her father had a Cherokee name but was not found in their rolls. My father and I don't appear to have inherited any indigenous dna only the same 1% Nigerian. I kind of wonder if that family story is where in comes in somehow.

Really struggling due to an adoption and another unknown. Any tips?

The French were in Mexico for some time during the 1800's; so, French Canadian isn't the only possibility for his having French ancestry.

Hiya Jarrett...new subbie here. Careful whatcha ask for, cuz you just might get it, eh? Lol Also, the dude with the (half) Canadian ancestry...if they were from certain provinces (e.g. Nova Scotia), the African, First Nations (Native), French ancestry all makes sense; there are Métis (Indigenous & French), African, Indigenous/Aboriginal & Euro influences. I realize the Mexican individual may very well have the African & Indigenous & European ancestry. I'd love for these guys to do a deep(er) dive...skipping the dating idea altogether! Lol. Great vids, cheers! Glad I found your channel 😄🕊🎁

I want to learn more about my ancestry and my roots ive already done a dna test but the company i used didnt get me very far can you help me?

DNA Dating na?

8:44 OMG! Can you tell my results too? hahahaha

One of the population communities for the guy with Canadian ancestry was French Canadian.

Also, lots of Africans went to Spain about 1,000 years ago!

How much or whom are the 9% from 13:13

Ancestry Dating App : get your great great grandparents married off together (after digging them up)!!

I took the MyHeritage Test together with my mother and my grandfather. We all had 3% centralAsian, my sister does not and we have no idea where thus comes from bc we are as German as you can get. We can trace every line back at least back to the 16th century

Hi! I'm new to your channel. How would i go about getting help from a genealogist in Mexico?

That guy looks like ImmortalHD

Hi can you explain what being 1% of an ethnicity means?

You would love my AncestryDNA since my mother’s family is so large and easy to trace BUT my fathers family is so small and hard to trace

I am waiting on my results as I watch. My daughter did hers and came back 26% Scottish, so I am curious home mine will be. My mom's tree shows German for her great grandparents and my daughter came back with 3-5% germanic.....

Re: French Canadians being endogamous, it would be interesting if you found a video by a French Canadian who did the test, see how it looks in the dna test.

Is the testing you do with this used in any govt data base?

Lots of Welsh ancestors in Russia 100-150 years ago!

@GeneaVlogger I took a DNA test through Ancestry. If I have like 1% Irish, 2% Scottish DNA, could that mean that my Spanish/Mexican Ancestors lived in Ireland and Scotland, and it does not necessarily mean I have Irish or Scottish DNA?

Native American plus Iberian in Americans usually means a Mexican or Latino ancestor,

The 2nd guy also should consider that many people left France around the revolution. Like any large immigrant population, many of the children of those immigrants married within the community. So we're talking easily 1820s, potentially later, for a geneticly French ancestor that may have been in Italy.

When the Duggars take a DNA test.

Just FYI, about 32% of indigenous Canadians are Metis.

At least he was looking at other people's cousins and not his own.

I did the CRI Genetics test and didn't just go for recent ancestry, but also did the haplo-groups and ancient ancestry (and yes, it was more expensive). The recent ancestry was mostly predictable... German, with British Isles and Northern European (wasn't expecting the small percentage of Chinese). The ancient ancestry was much more interesting, with India, Iberia, Italy, China, South America, more Asian, and a little Africa getting much more involved. They (CRI) have a "timeline" which I assume is gathered from info from the Human Genome Project (but I have no real idea) that estimates when different chromosome matches entered your DNA. I supposedly have South Americans entering my DNA in the 1600s, which would appear to mean that the Iberians (Spanish) either took wives/husbands or slaves. No other culture was in contact with the South Americans en masse at that time. What are your thoughts? Take Care!

I done Ancestry dna and wasn't surprised a side from zero german/polish all British and Ireland... my heritage shows British, Balkan, and Scandinavian... family tree dna shows British... it's very cool...

I recently came across a mstch who shared 473cm with me. How many cm do we have?

maybe Himalaya

My family’s ancestry is Celtic and British and maybe Germanic

I did my DNA test and got my results. So this is who I am but there is no haplogroup so I order maternal test and hopefully I will get them tomorrow from CRI. Question 1: Can I differentiate my mom's from my Dad's with whatever data I have ? Both my parents died 3 decades ago. Thanks !

The bearded guy reminds me of Rasputin so it wasn't a shock to hear he had some Russian ancestry.

There is a huge Albanian population in Italy.

Ah, the lure of the forbidden there huh guys?! Lol. I had only 4 literal results & am hoping the update shows details: 57% England & Northwestern Europe, 28% Scotland, 9% Wales & 6% Sweden (a 1st cousin had more countries listed, but I have no way to be sure those aren't aren't her mother's instead of our common grandmothers (my maternal/her paternal) side since I cannot view her matches, etc). It is a bit frustrating to me that I have only 4 results, although I know it's correct. I can trace my lineages on both sides quite far except for my Polish Great Grandfather's. However, I had hoped my Native American, Irish & Polish Ancestries would show up in far more detail. My Great Grandfather was supposedly full blood Polish, but now I question that & sadly I have been unable to trace his line further than him, although he did indeed come from Poland to America as stated in his paperwork. His daughter, my Maternal Grandmother had the looks that seem to belong to people's from that Country &/or surrounding one's, but also greatly favored her mother who was of royal descent (a proven line) & some Native American. My Maternal GG Grandmother was supposedly full blood Irish. I actually saw a portrait (said to have been lost in a housefire) yrs ago in the home of a great uncle of her with beautiful long red hair sitting beside my GG Grandfather, who was of English, Swiss & Cherokee blood. He had dark hair, eyes & med-darker skin. My Maternal Grandfather, their G Grandson had very red hair & orangey freckles as a child, yet later as he grew, his hair turned almost black, his freckles turned brown & he retained a fair-med skin tone. I myself actually have a very slight reddish undertone to my hair. There are several ancestors with Native American blood. I have a photo of my Paternal GG Grandmother & she is likely of some Scotch ancestry, yet is clearly of Native American heritage as well. Plus, we go back to an actual Tuscaroran Indian Chief on the other side of that lineage, but alas I haven't a bit of DNA to prove ANY Native American Blood! Ugh, Lol. Sigh... Anyway, absolutely love your Channel, explanations & love your sense of humor! Ps: While my Mother is deceased my Father did a test & he had all of those I did, at different percentages of course, except his included: Germanic Europe & Ireland.

So---how many centimorgans to move a potential relative out of consanguinity (and potential kinkiness)?

The enslaving taking place in Western Africa by Africans had much more effect on the Western Hemisphere. The enslaving of East Africans by Africans had more effect in the Arab world

👍👍👍👍

This was entertaining. They all look exactly like what they are except the young man on the left looks a tiny bit Greek. Are they trying to trick us with their hair color? 😁 Cool guys.

Interesting! The other young man should compare the test with his father.

I was adopted, and I was at a school dance and started talking to this guy from the prep school. Turns out he was my cousin! Adopted family, but still, EWW! 😫 Can't imagine dating a cousin ON PURPOSE.🤨

The Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost.

Wouldn’t the Eastern African come through the Spanish in the Moorish occupation?

Testosterone Alert! Too funny.

What?! People hit on thier 3rd to 4th cousins? Come on people lol

Where your grands came from is almost never their ancestry. Europe was busy place.

French Canadian here - besides having cousins marrying cousins, I do have some native ancestors in my tree, but it didn't show up in my 23 and Me test. We have not much info on them except about their daughter who married a french colonist in 1761. Gedmatch did find some native matches with my DNA... and Sweden, Hungary. And a lot of Spain. I don't have Spanish ancestors. What's up with that? Is it from the Irish/English ? He was born in 1699, that's old for so much DNA. LOL

Oh my gosh.. Family is blood gross

DNA dating 😅😂 nooooo

Ancestry didn’t pick up my mother in law as my daughter’s grandma called her a cousin instead.

I got my test back about 3 weeks ago .it was predictable yet surprising at same time by the % 's it was 68% England and Northwestern Europe, 14% Scotland 9% Germanic Europe, 6% Wales, 3% France . I was really surprised the 68% .I knew it was alot ..but i guess i assumed my ancestry would have been watered down after arriving in America ,melting pot and all . Turns out i can trace all the way to the Mayflower Totally BLOWN away .

What am I going to learn from a DNA test? Im so Scottish, we probably have a couple of sheep in our family tree. 🐑🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

So many Americans think they’ have Italian when it was usually like a great great grandparent or something, which then you can’t say your just Italian cause that’s weird

No captions

It's disappointing to look at results that russians become. "East Europe"+"Baltic" every time is ridiculous. Even "East Europe" is ridiculous by itself when it includes Baltic and Balkans and Hungary, Estonia with slavics. And in Russia we have 193 ethnicities living in peace together. And most of them aren't even slavic. And these ethnicities didn't really mixed with each other or with baltics till WWII. Russians (or east slavic which also include modern ukrainians and belarussians) as ethnicity more than 1000 years ago were like "americans" now and consisted of 10 tribes one of which was baltic. But no way it's now 40%. It's an error. Russian DNA tests distinguish baltics and russians very well. They have problems only with russians, ukrainians and belarussians and sometimes mordovian with russian and polish with ukranian.

Don’t put your picture on your Ancestry account!
