- In this video I review DNA and genealogy questions submitted by YOU!
Have a question for the GeneaVlogger? Submit them at / geneavlogger
The questions in this video ask about why there are differences between the results from different DNA test companies, why someone has two very seemingly different haplogroups in their results, DNA results for someone from Suriname, and possible Sephardic ancestry.

Hi I was the OP of the first post you reviewed in the video. I understand your frustration with my question/s as when I posted that I wasn’t as knowledgeable as I am now and i was quite ignorant so I apologise for that! But over the past few years your videos have educated me lots on the topic of genealogy and DNA and I understand things a lot better now, I have built a strong family tree and have helped numerous members of my family discover things they never knew about their own family too thanks to the knowledge I’ve gained from your videos.
Thanks for reviewing my post anyway and keep up the good content!
The legendary series has returned!
Some of these were really good! The one about haplo groups doesn't get asked often at all! That was a good refresher.
I'm wondering if maybe you could get a volunteer or two to read thru all the posts that haven't been addressed & categorize them? Maybe do one definitive video that can be linked to in future posts on the most common things & show several examples from the Reddit showing each. I can't help but feel like a lot of ppl might have posted because they just wanted to see their post on YT. I feel like you could fairly quickly address things like: Why don't my results from these two sites match? Why does my sibling have slightly different readings than I do? Etc etc etc *even though I know you've already answered all these types of questions ad nauseum* I just think it could be useful to have a singular video to link to for explanations. That way you can focus more on posts asking more unique questions or questions with very concise answers.
I also want to say how grateful I am that you do these videos & are taking your time to do them. You are an invaluable resource & I have learned so much from you over the years. I'm one of those from 2yrs ago (Illustrious_Act_9321... I didn't know you only had 30 days to change your name... oops) & have the same brick walls with no clue where to go from here.
You could help many of these people by making it clear that the "ethnicity" results *are not what people presume they are.* People are asking questions that are not well formed. Part of this, a great part, is that the lay person does not know what modern anthropology has discovered, and many people still labor under antiquated ideas of "race".
Well said. It does appear that a fair amount of folks are operation under assumptions, created a few hundred years ago. The current understanding is beyond what many are willing to look at.
Someone’s caffeine has kicked in.
Very interesting topics on this episode. I think a lot of confusion occurs due to people thinking there's one type of dna from group to group, with rigid lines, according to country and ethnic background. When instead, there's overlap between people and groups, even within groups. It makes sense that these testing companies set up their ethnicity results using countries and regions, because it's easier for most to comprehend right from the start. But digging in the weeds a little further, the implications over DNA, and the story it tells, is pretty complex. Great work in answering those questions.
I completely understand your frustration over questions regarding any Ethnicity Estimates either may be wrong or are different between sites, I've even asked you a question regarding this, though it's related to on Ancestry one of my grandpa's parents being given as amongst completely Scottish (he was originally from Northern Ireland so some English was to be expected) and having researched thoroughly the family tree back as far as I can go thus far I've not found any ancestral lines from Scotland, all are in Ireland (as it was then, Northern Ireland today).
I tend to trust Ancestry more than MyHeritage purely based on the size of their database, however the methodology and control groups could play a bit part as well and that's a bit of a black box. All I would say is, as you said, to do actual genealogy because these are estimates and from what I've seen in way of explanation of these is that you can only be confident on these to a continental level in most cases due to migrations that have happened (Iberia obviously has links to North Africa, places in the Levante to Europe, but on the whole this is true, I believe).
What I found a little odd in the percentages from Ancestry and MyHeritage was that I think in MyHeritage he has quite a bit of what was called Southern European (Italy and Spain) and in Ancestry he only had 1% Italy. As someone interested in genealogy I don't really pay that much attention to the different companies, I see them as a gimmick, but when they are blatantly 100% one parent this and it's not what I expect it does as to the interest to look into it, but this really only drives me to do more fact based genealogy.
There was one thing that you didn't mention that might be true though and that was a non parental event, which you'd think if they don't have any Southern European in their tree (especially it if it's around 25%, which would, if it's one line, be a grandparent) is a possibility, but I'd want it to be there across multiple sites to come to any kind of conclusion like this, and by looking at some of matches and doing some DNA clustering of them you should be able to work this out.
Great reaction though, would love to see a few live Q&A's to get through some of the older questions.
i have been wondering some of these :) hope you're having a good day sir :)
I had to explain to an African American DNA match they are Dutch connected. She was also from New Amsterdam.
Look at My Heritage matching and technology with David Horowitz from Jan 2022
A recent episode of “Finding Your Roots” had two mind-blowing revelations. Actor Joe Manganello, who believed he was of Italian descent found out he wasn’t! He has black great grandparents! The other guest, NFL All Star, mixed race, Tony Gonzales, found out he is a 12th cousin to Shakespeare! 🤯🤯🤯
Yes, please!!
Oh man I missed this 😮
Italian , Iberian & NW Europe can be infered as French DNA . I recommend for those using myheritage to use the tool they have for dna to see which ethnicity is most common in each country . Was added recently i believe . Corsica is a part of France and that is included on the Italian Bubble so to speak . Also bare in mind Myheritage hasnt been updated in a while , Also no white paper.
Just been onto MyHeritage and it seems to say it's updating the Ethnicity Estimates right now for my tests (unless that's a glitch).
I always enjoy your videos and learn something new with each one. Thank you! Are you available to help figure out who a maternal grandfather is? My brain seems to have a block these days and I really want to know if my mothers father was her birth father. He was a wonderful man. Before my mother passed away in 2006 she said she didn’t know she was adopted and was looking for answers. I have searched a bit off an on but have no definite answers. I would appreciate very much any help from someone who is more sure of how to do this correctly. Thank you
My ancestry gives me 94 percent European, with the highest percentage coming from Spain? Then Portugal and England. The rest are French, Irish and Sardinia. Then I have 4 percent North Africa and 2 percent senagal. I did my dna with ancestry and my sister did her DNA with 23 and me and our results are similar. My sister’s halogroup was H with a linage to royal families in Europe. My question is this, my paternal grandfather was from Spain and so was my maternal grandfather. My maternal great grandmother was English and my percentages are pretty high with Spain and England. However, I also have a long family history in cuba. When I go back with my linage all of my grandparents immigrated to Cuba from Spain. However, we do have some families that have immigrated to Cuba that starts from the late 1700 hundreds. The tanio Indians were not in Cuba when Spanish families immigrated to Cuba and if the reference panel is coming from the living with proof of a long history in cuba, then it can explain why 4 percent of indigenous cuba would show up. However, the community on ancestry is connected to Cuba and stating that I have family that immigrated from Spain to Cuba. Yet my percentage with Spain is extremely high. My sister’s ancestry shows that she has five percent of native Indian and the Cuba and Portugal are in small print. I truly believe that the readings with Native American Indian with my sister and 5 percent with me indigenous Cuban is being read wrong and it’s because we may have a long history in cuba with other grandparents and the readings are not being read correctly. The tanios were mostly gone in cuba from the 1500 hundreds and the ones that survived were very little. The reason that I question all of this is because my connection with Spain is extremely high and Cuba is super low and yet my community is in cuba and then it states that I have family that immigrated to Cuba from Spain. I have also gone back with my paper trail and it all ends up in Spain. This is a subject that I want to bring up with ancestry because the readings are not right. I just add my indigenous cuba to Spain because I truly don’t believe that they have tested me with tanio Indian because as far as I know there are special test that you would have to take to test if you are a tanio Indian.
I have a question about maternal haplo groups. My direct maternal line is welsh, our haplo group is N1a1, I also saw a RUclips video of a Welsh woman that did a DNA test and her haplo group is also N1a1. Do you know how or when this entered the Welsh population?
I’m Egyptian and according to 23andme I belong to the maternal haplogroup T2e1, which studies seem to indicate is a haplogroup commonly found in Sephardic Jews. I also inherited beta thalassemia and Mediterranean fever from my mother’s side, which are also conditions found in Sephardic/oriental Jews. My question is, does this point to possible Jewish ancestry or is this haplogroup and associated conditions just commonly found in people of Mediterranean background in general? No DNA test thus far seems to indicate that I have any Jewish ancestry, so I’m curious.
One thing ive discovered is that (in my case) my mitochondrial dna said i was of jewish heritage, but my autosomal dna test did not show it. After research i found my jewish line lived in Germany. So did a non jewish line of my fathers. So i believe the germanic europe percentage just added them together. I maybe wrong but thats just one example of why research is crucial to getting the full story.
It is more likely that your mitochondrial DNA is actually not of Jewish heritage but might be shared with Jews (if it is) for other reasons. Which haplogroup?
I tested with 23&me about 8 years ago and noticed a lot of updates. They are now saying to test again. Is that advisable?
If you are interested in the health reports from 23andme, it may be worthwhile to upgrade to the most recent chip. For the ancestral stuff it isn't that worthwhile, especially if you are using the DNA test for genetic genealogy.
