I used my dna test to help backup my ancestry research. I was always told I had Native American. Since I didn't know my Dad's father's side I decided to take a DNA test. I found 0 NA. When I did the research I found out my ancestor was illegally born in Native American territory. Wooops....
Had a recent DNA match to a 4th cousin so around 20cM on 2 segments a few weeks ago.
Turns out this cousin is the niece to a former Australian Prime Minister who is my 3rd cousin 2x removed!
So I thought that was pretty cool.
Told my father he's the PM's 3rd cousin once removed and he spat out his coffee LOL!
He didn't find it as cool as me.
DNA matches really do turn up a lot of surprises.
Just had a person unknown to our family test and they are our newest 1/2 first cousin. I sent out a little note saying hello, but they have not responded yet. My guess is that they are really in shock. I have my family tree public, and I hope they are able to figure out which of my fathers' brothers is their biological parent. (remarkable)
I had a similar result, also with my father's siblings. The person is adopted, so we don't know if their parent is one of my aunts or one of my uncles. I reached out to the person, but it's possible they just did the test to see their ethnic makeup and might not be interested in finding & connecting with family. Like you, I have a public tree, so if they want to they can see & seek out their potential parent (provided it isn't either of the 2 that are since deceased.)
@@AdirondackRuby I did too. A woman who was adopted at birth with whom I shared 780 CMs. She had already found her birth mother, so we knew it was her bio father on my side. she had matched in common with my maternal cousins not paternal. My mom only had one brother, so we think he is her bio father. although we also know it is possible it was my maternal grandfather. However, he was 68 when she was born. plus, she had a 60 cm match with our second cousin whose grandmother was my maternal grandmother's sister. I match hi at 125 CMs. My grandfather died in 1967 and my uncle in 1998 so we can't prove which.
I also just recently discovered 6 cousins all with fairly high CMs. So far so good they have reached out to me and want to know me and speak to me. I'm not pushing it. But I am glad to have them in my life.
Yeah, it's definitely not so clear & clean cut. When I first got my Ancestry DNA results, I had 5 groups (England/Wales/Northwest Europe, Ireland/Scotland, Baltics, Eastern Europe/Russia, and 1% Norway) Three months later, when Ancestry did a big update, I shifted to having 6 groups. I lost my 1% Norway, gained 5% Sweden & 4% Germanic Europe, and my percentages of the 4 groups remaining from the first results changed a lot (three going down by 16, 2, & 1 % and one raising by 11%)
Only one part of this video I disagree with small percentages doesn't necessarily mean they will disappear with the next update, I show a small percentage of Native American and it remains after each update, I know for sure I have this ancestry, they are pretty much accurate on the continental level.
MyHeritage added a confidence slider with their recent update.
If I hadn't done my dad and myself, wouldn't have discovered that who my dad thought was his dad wasn't!!!! A lot of surprises....
so we are 99% the same? so why the hate?
well to be fair we also share 98% of our DNA with apes, the vast majority of DNA does not ascribe any phenotypical difference, and small genetic mutations can cause massive phenotypical differences. The average genetic diversity between dog breeds is less than between different human populations.
I think more people outside the USA identified with more with their culture than race , most problems are cultural differences or even religious difference especially if you live or come from a country the have a strong religious identity.
depending on the company I have to get either a kilt or lederhosen. Ancestry gives me no separate French and German (but some could be included with 30% England & NW European) but does give me 34% Scottish.23&me has me 65% British and Irish and 33% French & German. Living DNA has me as 18% French and German. CRI genetics has me 45% German and 14% French and only 19.5% British Isles. The strange thing with CRI genetics is that back 5 generations I am listed as 100% European but on another page it says with 99% certainty that 5 generations back I have a Southern Han Chinese ancestor.
Omg I love the shirt!!!! I want one!!!!
Hah I have that MTHFR C677T polymorphism thing. And my breakdown is mostly in the UK and Ireland. Okay pretty much all of it. For what it's worth, my ethnicity breakdown does match the family tree I put together (once I got info about my bio parents and the rest of my bio family).
AWESOME
Not sure why he consulted a Sociologist who really doesn't know much about biological things. He should have consulted a Biological Anthropologist who has a higher degree of knowledge. Anthropology is the study of humans, and there are differences in races. That's why a Forensic Anthropologist is usually called on to identify an unknown dead body.
Interesting and thanks for sharing. While I have researched my family tree for decades I have yet to test my DNA. I already know much of my family history on both may maternal and paternal lines even though my father did not raise me. I've had some qualms about submitting my DNA and it's partially due to questions I have about the process. Although I know they will offer your direct shared DNA from close relatives, long lost family members etc. will they tell you you share DNA with ancestors who date back as much as 3 or 400 years maybe more? I wish I could hire a genealogist to assess by findings etc. due to what my parents have shared with me but also what I've found through research. Again, thanks for sharing.
Like your react videos. ...I will say at 50% slider 23andme it makes even all of my European mostly vague overall or NW... but my trace W African stays but cut in half in amount and WAfrican instead of Senegalese. Thought it would go away.
So if a parent was adopted could this help figure out their info?
Yes! DNA testing will help those who are adopted, or anyone with unknown biological parentage, in discovering their biological parents and ancestry. There are also groups such as DNA Detective and Search Angels who help adoptees who have DNA tested in solving their cases. I have helped in many of these cases myself, although no longer do that as much because I now do the same thing solving crimes!
@@GeneaVlogger ok thanks I'll look it all up. Just hard when I have no idea of maternal information
i wish i knew how to track my family history past my grandparents, i know i have an interesting history
I have found for basic record look to census records, as soon as you find one that you are basically positive it is your grandparents, or family write down the birth dates, keep following previous years of census with those dates best you can.I found the web page family Search is a wonderful resource of census and records .
Findagrave can also be a good start, if you're in the US. GENI and WikiTree have a lot of good genealogy info people have posted based on what they've found. If no one's ever posted that kind of info for your family tree already, then census data and other vital records are a good start.
Family search helped me go back 5 generations on my maternal grandfather’s side. They have digitalised original documents. It’s fascinating! I found out I had a great great grandfather from Egypt I never knew about.
When I used Ancestry they gave me a month of premium service. I was amazed how much of my family tree was already found by others. I only had to review the children, etc to make sure the names matched. I was able to go back to the Revolutionary War in a couple of days thanks to the work of others.
Which test is best for Kohanim?
Happens to be myheritage does have a slide with your matches. Unless I don't know how to work their app....
For Y only, it would be FTDNA.
I am also jewish
Does anyone know how I can find my ancestory and heritage if I don't know my grandparents or any generations after them only my mom and dads?
qracked Greetings. You need to be studying your genetic cousin matches especially those who are 4th cousins and closer and contacting them to learn about their ancestors and in turn you will learn about yours. I learned I have Iberian ancestry, both Portuguese and Spaniard via an unknown paternal great grandmother based on my relatively close Portuguese and Puerto Rican cousin matches. I match close family members from two different families. I have even found distant Portuguese cousin matches living in Spain.
As a genetic genealogist, I’ll tell you that your situation is almost exclusively going to be one that has to be figured out via DNA matching. As previously stated, you should be studying your closest DNA matches.
If neither of your parents know anything at all about their parents, then they both should really test if it’s at all possible. They should both test at AncestryDNA and 23&Me since neither of these companies allow uploads to their databases.
If either or both of your parents are no longer living, try to get a full sibling of theirs to test. Once you send off the kits to be processed, spend that downtime learning how to cluster or group your matches so that you can try to create your mom’s maternal grandmother in a group, and her maternal grandfather in another group. Then, you’ll want to do the same for her paternal grandmother and paternal grandfather and then set up a system for your father’s matches maternal grandmother, maternal grandfather, paternal grandmother, and paternal grandfather. It will be a bit daunting at first and sounds like a lot, but if you commit yourself to understanding how to group your matches by watching tutorials here on RUclips, utilizing genetic genealogy blogs like the one by Blaine Bettinger, and get your online genealogy accounts ready with a color or tagging system while you await the results, you’ll have a much better understanding of what to do the day that you get the notification the results are in. A few hours of study and prep work in the weeks while you’re waiting will mean you know instantly how to proceed when you get your parents’ results.
I don’t know your parents’ situations, but if they don’t know anything about their own parents, then you will likely find a lot of good information in adoption tutorials (even if they weren’t adopted) because the process for sorting matches from scratch is the same whether the tester is adopted or simply has no information. There are DNA adoption groups online (especially Facebook) where members are incredibly helpful in sharing knowledge and assisting.
In addition to getting both parents to test at both companies, make note of absolutely anything that they remember, even if they aren’t sure whether it’s true. Sometimes there’s a kernel of truth buried in memories or in family stories that are handed down like a game of telephone. No detail is too small. Trust me. I didn’t start down this path until after losing both parents and I wish I could just pick their brain for 5 minutes about anything they would’ve believed to have been relevant.
Stick with it. If you’re serious and devote the time to learning how to properly utilize your DNA match lists, you stand a very good chance of being able to build out some branches of your tree.
Best of luck!
It's a sad fact of life that what motivates many (maybe most) people to purchase DNA tests is the desire to know (without doing the hard genealogical work) their ethnic percentages. The DNA companies know this is what sells tests, and that's what they hype. Can't blame 'em for doing it. They'd sell far fewer tests, probably, if they only hyped the stuff that's actually useful..
although sometimes it is impossible to find actual records, especially when they might have been destroyed in war or the person was never registered
If there's a serial killer in my family, I'd be happy to help catch the. So there!
Your critique of the race/ethnicity marketing element in all of this is dead on and necessary to reiterate. In an age like this, these people can't sell us on an actual human connection over an identitarian one? Ridiculous.
People want what they want. I know in white counties identity is taboo, but for many many people it's not.
what i did not like about that report is the oh there are bad people using this really closed minded people with unfounded superiority complexes will find wats to make themselves to feel superior to others and you can't get away from jerks like that.
