your story hit so close to home. I am originally from NY (Queens) and my mom was the product of an affair. She was sold as an infant in the hospital parking lot to the people i know as my grandparents. Her birth certificate said baby girl with her mothers last name. She searched for her family for so long. Through ancestry DNA she found out she was part Jewish. Her birth mother had passed away and other relatives she found "didn't know" who her birth father was, including her mothers twin sister. Unfortunately I lost my mom in September to cancer, she never got her answers. Watching your videos makes me want to continue her search.
Meaning perhaps that you were born to 2 Jewish or formerly Jewish parents (or maybe one parent had apostasized to Xtianity or Messianic "Judaism") and you were then raised in a foreign religion?
I found out a few yrs ago that I had been adopted, born to a French Jew from Strasbourg in Baumholder Germany. There was no father listed on my birth nor adoption but a kind man gifted me an Ancestey test so we might find him. He believed my birth father might have been an Anerican soldier stationed in Germany. He was correct. I am 49% AJ and 1% Russian on my mothers side and rest is British Isles on my birth fathers side. By the way, I was adopted by a Rabbi too do finding out I was born to a Jew was not too much of a surprise. So far- I have found family in Germany, France, Switzerland, UK , Spain and even Lima Peru on my mothers side and have gone back to the 1450' s with surnames of Wertheimer, Oppenheimer, Stuttgarter, Reinach, Bacharach all from Frankfurt Hesse Germany. DNA is great.
I love this!!!! Was very immersed in each moment! Looking forward to the next one! Funny you and Jeremy both had religious leaders as fathers! LOVE your work Tommy!
My family is descended from MacLaughlins and Grimes,from St Kitts. In Brooklyn,my African family,also from St. Kitts, joined with them. We have a wonderful Afro/Scott Clan of our own. 🙂 I'm a descendant of MacLaughlin clan chiefs.
I am just having the worst customer service I mean my kit was lost the first time they replaced the kit and now they are saying they will need more of my spit so another kit this is just outrageous. I wish if I could refund my money to ancestry. It’s just sick it’s been more than 1 month now.
I am only speculating but I'd imagine that the processing times are longer right after the holidays with everyone who had received them as gifts sending in their samples. Hopefully you get your results soon!
23 and Me wrote back,they only received my sample 26th January,so am guessing it went to the USA,is that the main base?Fingers crossed news in asap.😀Thank you for your reply.
Thank you for sharing your story I just found your channel very professional detailed and raw. I hope to due this some day I am adopted. My family lies about my past and where I come from I don't know when I was born which in theory I don't really know my age. I think I am scared I wont find anyone to call family. Mine is not nice to me they wont talk to me come to my kids functions ( I have 2 special needs) because I am adopted and like they say we don't have to your not family. This means a lot to me. Thank you ✌😊
I am so sorry to hear that about your family. I cannot imagine how difficult that must be for you. I hope you are able to find the answers you are looking for. Don't give up. Remember family isn't limited to the people you share DNA with. You can find it anywhere with anyone. I am sending you and your family lots of love.
@medusakatt757 Ashkenazi are the descendents of the Jews of the diaspora of 70a.d/ various Roman Jewish Wars which brought more Jews to various parts of the Roman empire. In the early middle ages Jews settled in France and Germany and later on they migrated to Slavic lands.
The Indigenous North Africans were Black, prior to the Southern Europeans and Arabs mixing with the indigenous population. There were also Black ppl and other people of color in Western Asia. Do you know your maternal Haplogroup?
I think I could help you with the research of your father's ancestry. I happen to be Askanazi Jewish myself and I was able to locate long lost relatives. I did a lot of genalogy work on my family history all the way back to the 1700's and helped a few friends with their own research.
Modern days jews must urgently repent because Jacob’s trouble is exclusively for the unrepentant Jacob’s offsprings. Psalm 79:1 O God, the nations have invaded [the land of Your people] Your inheritance; They have defiled Your sacred temple; They have laid Jerusalem in ruins. Luke 21:24 CEV Some of them will be killed by swords. Others will be carried off to foreign countries. Jerusalem will be overrun by foreign nations until their(gentiles) time comes to an end. (fulfilled/ completed).
Why can't it be both the father and mother? Why is it always the mother? That does not make any sense because in the old testment it's was originally though the father.

Do it. Don’t give up. Especially it’s hard when data are kept good back in the days❤❤ good luck
I. took two DNA tests and they both showed that I am 100% Ashkenazi Jewish. Welcome to the tribe!
Meaning perhaps that you were born to 2 Jewish or formerly Jewish parents (or maybe one parent had apostasized to Xtianity or Messianic "Judaism") and you were then raised in a foreign religion?
It's Christianity.
The Bible says ashkenazi are gentiles if you where Jewish you would have dna that comes from Middle East
This story was well crafted, Tommy. Great work!
this is some high quality video editing and great story !!
Thank you so much!

Nicely put together. Keep up the good work...from someone who met their first biological relative at the age of 59 thanks to DNA.
The description of your Dad was 😂😂!! You are amazingly talented and I'm sure he would be proud if you! ❤💯
Made me emotional watching this. Good job Tommy!!
Thank you so much!!!
Great video! Looking forward to seeing the next one!
Thank you!
Although Jewish population worldwide is 0.5%, DNA results seem to suggest that this proportion is actually %110. Can someone explain why?
Infidelity
Bible can 😂

Oh man... I'm sorry you have to deal with that!
Try again please do not give up!Happened to me.In the end I got my DNA done.
Shalom what was your Y-DNA Haplogroup?
Welcome to the tribe! It's a beautiful legacy...
Awesome! I loved your story.
Thank you so much!
I sent my 23 and Me kit off 4th January and only now received an email to say they are processing it now???Why so long....🤔now more weeks to wait.
I am only speculating but I'd imagine that the processing times are longer right after the holidays with everyone who had received them as gifts sending in their samples. Hopefully you get your results soon!

Very interesting.Thank you for sharing your story.Shame your Dad never found out.wow..all those coincidences.
Thank you for watching! I wish he would have had the opportunity to know too. I'm happy that I have been able to discover all that have so far.
Great Story God Bless
Eine wunderschöne Geschichte über deine Familie……… liebe Grüße aus Düsseldorf Germany 🙏Friede
What is Ashkenazis dna polish?
Ashkenazi are Central and East European Jews 😊

Nice story but that repetitive background music is distracting and unnnecessary
Nice im here because my ancestry shows I’m North African and Western Asian (I’m black btw) lol I’m so confused
The Indigenous North Africans were Black, prior to the Southern Europeans and Arabs mixing with the indigenous population. There were also Black ppl and other people of color in Western Asia. Do you know your maternal Haplogroup?
Is she A TRUE "FBA" IT SHOULD BE THE SAME. @@miriamjones3067

I may take you up on this at some point! I've found a few relatives on the Jewish side and I have some theories but nothing concrete yet.
@@TommyGrimes Ok sounds good. I would be more than happy to help if you need help at any point in the future.

mother has to be jewish to be jewish, but who cares. not me hahaha great videos man

@@brittanyhayes1043they changed it. It used to be father. So it’s just arbitrary.
I haven’t “drunk” that much.
I am 51%
😂 wonder what their ancestor was doing in Africa.
I have a lot of respect for Jewish people. They said to Muhammed and Jesus to GTFO. You can't BS them.
