My Ancestry update gave me 1% Egyptian. Which, when you consider the fact that I'm a Jamaican who teaches and performs Egyptian Dance...... That's really trippy! I strongly suspected it because on 23 my uncle has North African and my cousin has Coptic specifically. So even though my dad and I didn't get the marker, at least on 23, I felt it had to be there. Myheritage, which was the least accurate for my European and African gave me North African. Ancestry also gave me Pilipino, which I knew from 23. I feel like you have to take several companies to get a fuller picture.
@@chrisventura1881 Think Ancestry is the best for that. They also have access to a lot of records. I was really surprised at some of the documents they were able to find, but you have to pay extra for that level of service.
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 yeah doesn't seem too accurate. Only way would be if the whole world did it too pool all the DNA together. Im not interested in DNA breakdown. But I am interested in my family tree. I'm not sure my ancestors beyond Great Grands. I never met them just know their names. I'd love to learn more about the people who came before me.✌🏼
This was a great video that shows the depths you go to correlate the information you’re receiving from various testing services, historical information, family history, etc. You’re definitely doing great work to properly interpret the data. BTW, compliments on your intro modifications. Shorter intros, with that music background, is a nice touch!
Hi Danielle, I have been watching for a while now. You are the reason I did my DNA test with Ancestry. Now I am at a loss my mother side doesn’t know their history and my father side I have not idea because my grandmother died when I was 19 and my father died when I was 15 years old. Now I get these 15 ancestral regions and I don’t know where to start on both sides of my family. My grandmother is a live on my mom side but she doesn’t want to help at all. She keep says we are better off not knowing which of course I want to know what’s you are hiding grandmother. Thank you for your videos.
... It's amazing how much stuff many of our families hid in our family trees regardless of our race/class.If your family has been in 🇺🇸 for a bunch of generations, it's hard to tell what all you may unearth from the roots of your family tree.
Love your hair! I think it's good to research the communities and know what was going on during the time when our ancestors were alive. I think it could also help us to break through some of our brickwalls.
Thank you for this new post, Danielle. I have had an Ancestry DNA account for years, the most recent update until the newest one was September 2019. The Ancestry DNA update that I just received had a substantial change over all previous updates. In the past my largest match was Great Britain & Northwestern Europe followed by Germain heritage. This new update reversed that and made Germain my largest match by far. It was followed by Great Britain and Northwestern Europe. The new update also added several new location matches in smaller percentages.
My update from ancestry puts me with Spain and Portugal at 84 percent and my community is in the Canary Islands. My parents who have never took the test and are deceased also have communities that comes under journey by parents and my mother’s community is in northern Spain, Azores as well as Ireland and what is interesting about Ireland is that my great grandmother was of English descent, but yet my mother’s community is in Ireland. My father’s community is also interesting because it is Ashkenazi Jews in Eastern Europe as well as Louisiana French settlers and French settlers of Mississippi, New Orleans, Quebec, New York and Vermont. I truly believe that I am Spanish, French and English, but mostly Spanish and I hope to one day hire a Genealogist to help me find my paper trail and my real heritage.
A really good book is Louisiana and the Gulf South Frontier, 1500-1821 by F. Todd Smith. I learned so much that I had no clue that I was ignorant about. The gulf coast was originally colonized by the Spanish and French who had different ways of doing things than the English. It covers a lot of the history of the different Indigenous groups and their interactions with the colonizers. They got caught in the politics of Europe and the Europeans manipulating the Indigenous rivalries. At different times, the colonists were not supported by their governments and had to fend for themselves. So many different groups settled in Louisiana like Germans and French refugees from Haiti. I had heard that New Orleans was a Caribbean city, not culturally part of the US and now I understand what that means. It also goes into the Kings Road and the ties between Nacogdoches and Natchitoches. A really thorough deep dive into the region.
It’s great to see your channel growing… especially as one of the early riders to your adventure. With that said, if you’re so deeply ‘Louisiana’, we’re probably cousins 😂🙂↔️ - we are all related somehow down here. Keep up God’s work…pray all is well.
I don’t know if this will help but I do know that the men who started Natchitoches, La. and Nacogdoches, Tx. We’re Twin Brothers. Love what you’re doing! Keep Digging! ♥️
My dad's side of the family move to Maryland USA from Central England in 1800's and married Black women (my great great Do I throw another great in there?" ). I have a photo of him in his British Uniform. I can only trace my mom's family back to Oklahoma where her great grandmother (Cherokee) married her great great grandfather (an escaped slave and former Civil war Buffalo soldier at ft. Sill ). And he also fought with US Grant from The battle of the Wilderness to Appomattox. Its fortunate he lived to over 100 years old , else we would not have his History.
I’ve found the Journeys (formerly Communities) on Ancestry to be pretty good. It accurately listed many that I knew about and some I need to look further into.
No worries, your hair is lovely! I was exstatic to see the new communities, it helped confirm some theories I have on my mom's side (Sephardic is now a category!). The Irish results made me laugh, b/c like you I had almost none but crazy amounts of Scottish (inc my dad, where I get it from). I will say for Ulster, a lot of people have Scottish descent because of the Plantation of Ulster years. It blew my mind b/c it's a sad history but explains why we have Scots-Irish in US and why it's hard to narrow down DNA when it comes to Scots and Irish (on top of the Celts dna).
It is interesting that Ancestry DNA regions show that we can share a connection to others that we would have not thought we are connected to. For example, although a majority of my ancestors, 64%, came from Europe, 26% of them came from indigenous Americas Mexico and though I don't identify as Mexican as I am a descendant of a tribe from Southern California, my region includes Southern California, Southern Arizona, Sonora, Mexico, and Baja California, Mexico. In addition, I got 2% Indigenous Americas Yucatan Peninsula plus 3% Indigenous Americas North. So clearly the Natives of the American Southwest and the Natives of Mexico are related. I look like a total white boy and while I am white, primarily from Germanic Europe, the British Isles, and some from Southern Europe, I also have a substantial amount of ancestry from people of color. I knew from family history that am part Native American, but the Ancestry test surprised at me as I also have 3% Sub-Saharan African blood and 2% from Northern Africa which means I am part black and Arab too. More and more I am seeing that Human Beings are connected. So what race am I? Human! ONE RACE, THE HUMAN RACE, BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER!
love the continued couch conversations. these conversations are helping me heal from the circle of secrets. i have found THREE marriage records of my grandparents due perhaps to her being "colored" and him being Irish. one Catholic Registry, one civil registry, and then a LATER civil court record??? i have watched a RUclips vid on why 25% of our DNA is NOT always our grandmother~ but i don't really understand it....yet.
Canadian French were called Acadians if they came from modern day Nova Scotia. There are distinct French speaking communities in Canada based on New France colonies. France battled Britain and lost a battle on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec in 1759. French who refused to be British subjects ended up in Louisiana as it was French territory. Acadians were forcibly removed. Other less war related French Canadian migration post 1800 is present in Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts.
@1:12 you got that hair that changes with the seasons, with that dark brown, black and copper hair, you can style it naturally, ain't nothing wrong with it, lol. During the summer, part of my hair can get bleached into copper, and I get a copper tone tan when I work out in the field. The sun dictates, so I roll with it, haha.
I checked out the new ancestry journey update and I was quite pleased with it. It showed I am descended from Louisiana Creoles . I have been intrigued about this part of my ancestry as Creoles are beautiful people.
My update seemed more accurate AND more mystifying than previous ones. I'm still 2/3 to 3/4 Irish (Connaught and Ulster) on both paternal and maternal sides, which I know to be the case from research. They finally added in the "Germanic Europe" that I always knew had to be there as I know I have some ancestors from Bavaria on my mother's side. So far so good, but the fun and the mystery were in the trace elements. They always had given me 1% Cyprus, which was completely mystifying. This time they refined it to 1% Eastern Mediterranean, Southern Italian. There was also 1% Denmark, down from 9%, which made sense, and 1% Wales. The Ancestry results purport or aim to, at least, show people where their ancestors were living a thousand years ago. What could possibly connect Denmark, England or Wales, and Southern Italy? So I'm thinking Normans? They were in all those areas. In genealogy, each new question that gets answered seems to raise more!
I also had a super specific community that was a really small radius in Austria/Hungary that my dad and granduncle still have but for some reason they took it away. It is so accurate to my tree, matches, and immediate family have it so I don’t get that logic but hopefully I get re attached to it. Another thing about ancestry communities is they are heavily impacted by your matches, so you may get communities if you have a lot of cousins from that community even if you don’t necessarily connect to it with your direct ancestors.
Cousin Dani👋 it’s me. Hope ur well. I wanted to tell u that music and intro on the couch with coffee. 🤌 it was noticed and it was good! So proud to call you cousin
I have Munster Ireland as well, most of my ancestry from Ireland comes from the southwest corner of the island (County Kerry specifically, do I know there's more than just that county in that region). They gave me about six specific areas within Munster, most of which I'm pretty sure encompass where my grandfather's ancestors are from. A lot of Irish immigrants came from that area, I think Cork is included in there as well and there were a lot of Irish immigrants that came from county Cork. I also went to Ireland in 2016 so I'm somewhat familiar with the area. Super beautiful place by the way, completely recommend visiting!
Very interesting content. I truly enjoy watching. It's pretty interesting even among siblings with the same parents, traits that show. Genetics is extremely complicated.
Prior to colonization, Ireland was divided into 5 Kingdoms which now essentially serve as provinces, you having Ulster and Munster is interesting because they are the northernmost and southernmost provinces... Ulster tends to be more of a Scots/Cumbrian and Norse mixed Irish because of where it is in relation to historical geography, known for the Red Hand O'Neil, the Troubles, and all sorts of wild history. Steeped in interfaith conflict between Catholic and Protestant, even moreso than other Irish provinces which is thought to be a lot of why Northern Ireland is essentially evenly split between Loyalists and Irish Unitarians... the most common reasons for Irish migration were to escape the concentrated interfaith violence or to escape English colonialism. (in the early days only to be met stateside with having cabbage and potato thrown at them off the boat and not being allowed in many public places due to segregation being applied to them)
this is what I was hoping someone could explain to me! I cant wait to piece it together. My great great grandpa had "north ireland" as his birthplace when he came to the US. Not sure about his wife. My family is/was Catholic
@@nytn I don't know when he came over, but the generation and religion would suggest there is a good chance he did so to escape sectarian violence, the troubles were in full swing by 1920, and Catholic Independence supporters were being quite literally hunted down by Protestant Loyalist Paramilitaries.
Love all the information! I hope to learn much more about Ireland. My Great Grandmother on my mom's side came from Cloontuskert, Roscommon, Ireland during the beginningof the 1900s. I have never been but I used Google maps to drive around the village haha
@@timeforchange3786 County Roscommon is in Connacht, on the western coast, another of the 5 kingdoms, in myth Roscommon is said to be the seat of the legendary Queen Méibh... My family is largely Ulster Irish and Scottish, and I got really into decolonizing, learning Gaelic language and culture, and the history... it really is interesting with no shortage of great stories and mysteries. I just love learning about any and all cultures, 100% xenophile, but obviously it's more personal when it's tied to the blood in one's veins.
England annexed Ireland about 700 years ago but tensions started to really flare up after England broke from Rome. Ulster became friendly ground to anti-Protestant revolutionaries (and assassins) and as such became difficult for England to control. England’s solution was to supplant the native Irish population in Ulster with mostly lowland Scottish and English Protestant planters. Now outnumbered, the native Catholic Irish lost more agency. This status became systematically formalized through the rise of the Anglo-Irish aristocracy and its attendant governmental and ecclesiastical institutions, all of which the Irish resented. I find the picture more complicated than how 19th c Irish republicans framed the established Church’s role but I do agree that Westminster’s handling of the famine was foolish and led directly to the civil war in the 20th c.
Danielle, you are Gorgeous. You should write a book. Thank you for your hard work. Great video! There are so many Blacks that passed for white. It comes out sometimes as we age. I work in a assisted living see many. 😊
The Puerto Rican connection could be through shared ancestors from the Canary islands? I once went through some old New Orleans parish records and Puerto Rican families were certainly present there.
There were multiple changes on my DNA with the new dump of data on Ancestry. I knew I had Dutch from my surname and the paper trail. My ancester founded New Amsterdam (now New York City). But it didn’t show up before. I assumed it was included in the Northwestern Europe category. But my 20% Swedish disappeared and turned into Finland and The Netherlands. My Irish is now split to include Iceland. My percentage of French more than doubled. My Southern Bantu changed to Yorubaland (which I'd never heard of) and Camaroon. My daughter didn't get any of the new stuff from me. It is very interesting to see how the gene lottery works. I apparently gave her most DNA from my mother and not very much from my dad. My first cousins used to share the same Southern Bantu with me, but now theirs changed to something else and it's not even the same as each other. My aunt went from decending from 3 tribes in Africa to 6. This tells me my African ancestors were here for multiple generations mixing up the blood lines before passing. It appears from cousin matches that there was passing in both my grandmother and grandfather's families. I can't tell yet whether this will make it easier or harder to track them down!
That's interesting, my adopted sister did Ancestry and found out she had French settlers of Quebec as ancestral community too. That would be so bonkers if you guys were cousins!
Great video, the italian is very strong. In the future, you should do a video on the louisiana spanish and the Choctaw apache tribe which is state recognized, a fascinating rabbit hole.
Interesting. All these DNA companies have different databases in comparison. The genetic grouping updates just keep appearing. I haven't heard Creoles of Color in a long time.
Hello my NewYork sister ❤️ I’ve been watching without commenting and I do apologize 😳 One wish that I would have for you is to experience your hair on the brown side of life. I see the beautiful curls and I would love for you to do traditional box braids or platts as we used to call them. Try an African Braiding shop, Love ya❤
Munster was one of the four major divisions of Ireland (mostly southwest). Munster has a high Celtic Irish population, being west of the so-called Pale of Settlement where "Englishry of the Pale" had settled between century 13 and century 16. Ulster was in the north, and was the place where James I of England aka James VI of Scotland (the "King James" of "King James Bible" fame) had taken land from Celtic Irish locals who had supported "Red Hugh O'Neill, the Earl of Ulster, in his rebellion against the English during Elizabeth I, and given it to Lowland Scottish Protestants (who became the source of the "Scotch-Irish" and tried their hand at killing Celtic Irish Catholics as a dress rehearsal for killing Native Americans in century 18 and c. 19).
My family is interesting to me partly because they are mainly Scots and Ulster, but Catholic, and pro independence in their respective countries, so I always feel a stigma, but being they were working class Catholics and Jacobites that were put into indentured servitude and brought over here on one branch, and came over trying to escape the Loyalist paramilitaries on another the story is different from what I would guess is the normal "Scots-Irish' American story.
Before World War 2 , at Saint Patrick`s Cathedral in New York City , the ITALIANS had to use the basement of the Cathedral for their masses , because the IRISH would not allow Italians to use the first floor !!
@@Percept2024 Irish are a mixed bag when it comes to that stuff, especially Irish-Americans, Fredrick Douglas wrote that as an escaped slave the Irish would either be very helpful in a sense of solidarity, or they would pretend to be helpful only to turn them in for a bounty, so it was easier to just not trust them... Bernadette Devlin also said that Irish-Americans were disappointing to her because they were all bigots, and the people she really felt kinship with were the Black and Latino people of New York City who knew what oppression was really like, she was given the key to the city and gave it to the Black Panthers.
@@UilleamMacLoganach Also , when they tried to integrate the schools in Boston in the 1970`s , the anger and hatred toward Blacks from the Irish was tremendous.
@@Percept2024 Italians didn't have a great track record when it came to Black folks and integration, either, Italian-Americans are the main people who want to preserve Columbus day and celebrate him, despite his ills and the way he dehumanized the natives... it's sad to me how formerly oppressed groups find it so easy to contribute to the oppression of others when really we should be even more compassionate toward it. I think a lot of people in general gain some backward self-satisfaction by feeling like they are above others.
Wow could the Canada French communities be Cajuns who migrated to Louisiana territory? I find the communities interesting in the direction my ancestors may have went or come from. I only have mid Atlantic and southeastern African American groups.
Start at St. Martinsville, Louisiana....memorial wall. It's in a museum. The creole museum is next door. I'm one step ahead of you in this as I am next door in Texas.
The Acadians (French speaking Catholics) were forcefully removed from Nova Scotia Canada in 1755. The resettled in Louisiana. There were also many who resettled in ME, NH, VT, and MA too. I heard about it through descendants living in New England. Many many many maintained their French language throughout their lives through the generations to this day.
4? Usually people’s ancestry is more detailed than that. I’m European and African and mine is very detailed with the nationalities like Nigeria, Senegal, Benin and Togo, etc
My original dna results were 87 percent Irish and 13 percent Scottish. With this update they gave me 7 percent Scottish and 6 percent english. My mother got 16 percent Scottish rest irish. Happy enough with that.
my only "ancestral journeys" on Ancestry are on my mother's side, whereas I used to have the same communities on my father's side that he does, but now they have disappeared for me but not for him🤷♂
The maternal haplogroups are also passed from mother to son, not just to daughters. The maternal haplogroup is from the mitochondria DNA, which is the food source for all of your cells. It's not part of the X-chromosome that is also passed from a mother to all of her children. As a note, FTDNA Family Finder is rolling out the high-level haplogroups to people who test there directly and they will add the haplogroups to people who have transferred their DNA, but those who transferred their DNA will be the last people to get that assignment.
Nacogdoches, Texas to Natchitoches, Texas ;isn't this sort of the area where the Redbones are from ? It is an aeea that is " like a bridge" between the Louisana Creoles and Mexican -American and Mexicans from Southern Texas/ Northern Mexico .
No, neither Ancestry nor 23andMe accept uploads from other companies. Do you still have the raw DNA data file that you uploaded to GEDmatch? If so, you can upload it to MyHeritage and FTDNA. You cannot download your raw DNA data file from GEDmatch, but since you had to have a copy on your computer in order to upload it to GEDmatch, do you still have a copy? Another tip. Be sure to save any raw DNA data that you download. That is the primary source for any analysis.

So your recent ancestry test "let you be Creole", lol, how would they know that, especially when Creole is a mixed raced modern ethnicity? 🤔 Me personally, I don't trust ancestry companies if they don't use haplogroups (which determines lineal ancestry origins of everyone), and maternal/paternal (which traces lineage and relations to family and relatives). Many ancestry companies try to pool all the lineage and parts of DNA to find a genetic pool for modern ethnic groups, which would have numerous errors for mixed individuals, wouldn't anyone think?
I always heard the Acadians were Huguenots who came to Canada and were deported or pushed out to the point they were ethnically cleansed tho a lot mixed with Natives and today are the Cajuns of Louisiana.
Acadians are primarily the French people who moved down to Louisiana from Quebec when France lost Quebec to the English, best guess is that this where his Quebec settlers link.
The French Canadians migrated to Louisiana (Arcadians or Cajuns!). Your Irish ancestry and your ability to show direct links to specific people born in Ireland makes you eligible to apply for Irish citizenship/passport! Do it 😎
Usually having results from multiple blood relatives gives a more accurate picture, because your own genes are a random partial sample of your ancestry tree. Genetic trees are narrowly good back 8 generations; 256 ancestors then, 256 more between them and you.. Beyond that, you have to rely on conventional genealogy. It would be hard to know anything about all those 500+ people.
I've been a member of Ancestry since 2011. I contacted them after my aunt and daughter both showed French dna. I've matched with 100% French members. They listed French Canadian areas. When I contacted them, they acted like I didn't know what I was talking about. In this new update, I am.... 29% French. That is ridiculous. It took 13 years to show French.
@NYTN: No, you did expect becouse it is exactly the ancestors that I predicted several videos ago. In any case, you should know that in North Africa there were Romans, so whites, Carthaginians, whites too, Suebi, Alans and Vandals that Visigoths expelled from Spain, that is, Germanic tribes and also in the USA, especially in the east or those who arrived. By Ellis Island they have a lot of mixture with Jews. I repeat that creole is not a mixture of races, it is a word that comes from the Spanish "criollo" and they were the white Spaniards who were born outside the metropolis, the mestizos, it is usually applied to a mixture with Indians in Spanish and mulattos mixed with blacks. It is evident that for a time some of your ancestors were part of the Spanish Empire because those Indians they are telling you about disappeared with the English and the Usacs, instead they were part of Spanish communities. Another part of your family was Irish and Nigerian, which was a British colony but at that time they did not have slaves, perhaps it was the one who bought land in Louisiana?
Well there can be two about the Southwestern Quebec settlers :it can be in the Arcadian ( Cajun) DNA or French settlers who came down the Mississippi who traded furs and others goods all the way down to New Orleans,Southern Mississippi , and Southern Alabama .If you want to learn more about this maybe see if you can get documents or papers of tarders in Louisians down the Mississippi some where French Quebecois others were half French /half Native : the sons of French men with Native women .
(Its because they don't really move that far away.) Its just a grouping of them making the culture East Texan. Natchitoches and Nacogdoches are not French in origin but Indian (Indigenous American) everything around them has a mixture of Indian, French Creole, Spanish blind. I cant really tell you why but also a Southeast Asian feel. The Southeast Asians are not beating the allegations of being seen as Black/Hispanic (but that neither here nor there) But Texas and Louisiana would fight you over any slender of the Vietnamese and Filipino Tía's
My Irish ancestors left because the king of England was trying to tax them. And they were ship merchants, do they got on one of their ships and came to American. You need the book Traced by Dr Nathanal Jeanson.
I’ve just said we are all mutts these days. I don’t mean that in any sort of derogatory way. I say it because I think too many people these days run around as if they are “pure” or something (whatever that means. I will say however that each marker from each community represents an individual in time that contributed to the genetic makeup that makes you who/what you are. An individual with a story. From another culture with another story. And a history with its own story. And if their story didn’t happen, you wouldn’t be you. I was hoping to connect with you in a phone conversation. I messaged you. I don’t want to be a pest so I will not bring it up again. I think (and yes, I could be wrong) that you would enjoy the conversation. And based on your videos, I am interested in your opinion. You definitely seem like a very impassioned and thoughtful person so that is my motivation to have that conversation
Oh thank you! I definitely missed that message. I really appreciate your perspective on identity-it’s true, we’re each made up of countless stories, woven together in a way that makes us beautifully complex and interconnected. Just to be open with you, I've had to be mindful about privacy due to past experiences with people trying to track me down! I’m happy to keep the conversation going here if you’d like, though-I really value engaging with people who bring curiosity and insight to these topics. Or over on Patreon, Im able to direct message with folks! Thanks again for understanding, and I’m looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts!
@@nytn : I may comment here if I see a video that I want to offer something on but the conversation I was trying to have is not one I want to attempt here. I messaged you again since you missed my other message. Like I said, don’t want to be a pest so up to you. Either way I definitely understand.
Color match... they don't make shades for our type...😅 Ooo... Canadian too... 😅😅😅. Your pretty unique.. 😊, but definitely not al9ne at all... alot of us out here.. the sun dying of your hair is something, not sure what.. but my hairs goes black to plum to copper depending on the season... Do you guess correctly alot?..:
Does the early Creoles means the origianl Freench and SPanish settlers ? cause in early Louisian creole meant white Frenchs or white Spaniards born in the Americas .
So I have a question, when it says a place like Puerto Rico what does that mean to you as far as being Puerto Rican? Does that mean you had ancestors who lived in Puerto Rico at some point or does that mean you had some, I dunno, let’s say some mulatto ancestor, who had roots in Puerto Rico for a long period of time & that’s what makes you Puerto Rican? My friend was always told he was Cuban. He found out during slavery his ancestor was sold to a Cuban and they lived there for less than a 100 years and moved back. Just like Marilyn Monroe had a grandma that lived in Mexico for a while, does that make her ‘mixed with Mexican?’ And are we mixed with races or ethnicities? Also, I wonder do people prefer an ancestry company who provides more of their desired results over the competitor. Hmm.
As far as Trinidad and P.R. go, understand that the Indigenous Caribbean people (Arawak) inhabited alk of the Caribbean, and since Spain occupied both islands 'Cairi' (Trinidad) and Boricua (P.R) with Africans generally from the same regions (mostly Benin, Nigeria, etc) and of course the Spaniards with the main difference being a greater population of 'West Indians' in Trinidad than in P.R. (P.R. had/has West Indians but no where near the population that Trinidad has). My point being it may be that you're more from P.R than the latter. Unless you find West Indian in your ancestry then its anyones guess. Either way, these terms P.R., Trini, etc are not races or ethnicities, but nationalities. The Caribbean are all ONE people conquered and divided, colonized and brainwashed into thinking they are not one and the same.
The word Cajun comes from the word Acadian Acadians were some of the first slaves in the new world and they were actually slaves of Caucasian descent brought down to Louisiana from Newfoundland and other parts of Canada after they had arrived in new world 🌎
@@caballero_del_arboles thank you for the correction I actually had to look that up I've been told otherwise by my family from LA Of course there are lots of common misconceptions and things that whole cultures get wrong Even googling it it's a very common Google question so somewhere along the way people have been saying or asking that for quite some time I guess I thoroughly believed to be true otherwise I wouldn't have So probably put my comment Oh well I tried it thank you for the correction learn something new everyday
Creoles were originally people around the Louisiana area who were born in America vs Europe, so we’re talking about White people. Eventually, the mixed race Blk/Wh people in the area began to be called ‘Creole’ and today it primarily refers to them. When we think of Creole we’re talking about mulattos from Louisiana. There are no copper tone people from Europe, unfortunately.
Ancestry does do haplogroups, but it’s an extra cost. Also C1C is and Asian branch in the Americas it’s still an Asian haplogroup from Asians born in the Americas it’s not from the Americas. Indigenous just means Native its not and autochthon Haplogroup,it has known other origins in East Asia.
I have posted them! I wanted to focus on the communities today. Here are a couple : ruclips.net/video/WAqnCFf_j7M/видео.html ruclips.net/video/1a57IIFyPmA/видео.html
I only got 3 ancestral journeys, all on my maternal side, and they all overlay each other geographically. Nothing on my maternal side, and nothing that traces back to the old world. So not useful at all.
The biological reproductive process is an evolutionary process that is a constant moving window forward creating each new individual, makes everyone a uniquely distinct individual that has never existed before or will ever exist again. Genetically speaking, 50% of you have never existed before because of recombination crossover or segmentation and the fact that it takes two to make one, one is only 50% of both parents, and 50% genetically related to each sibling. Logically, it becomes pointless to go backwards to establish who or what you really are genetically. It only takes SEVEN generations back to have zero access to any of the genetics of one's ancestors starting with 50% of one's parents, 25% grandparents, 12.5% great grandparents, 3.125% gggparents, 1.5% ggggparents, and 0% beyond. Because everyone is a uniquely distinct individual where each generation losing access to half of the previous generation's DNA, the idea of race, "born a Jew" is not only a complete fraud, but it is criminally insane to claim there is such a thing as identity politics for political control.
Yorubas are a Big subgroup among AfroCubans which frequently intermarried with Isleños, whom are Canary island descendants who established independent communities in Louisiana and intermarried with the French, the aboriginals of the Canaries are the Guanches, ethnically associated with Berbers of North Africa. What it does not add up is the absence of Iberian markers. And I can't understand the length you go to assume that Lola is a Nigerian name and not the nickname of Dolores, a very common Spanish name. The common denominator is Catholicism and the Viceroyalty of Nueva España typical migration and genetic patterns, including Sephardic Jewish itinerance ... You look like a typical Southern Spanish beautiful lady btw... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle%C3%B1os_(Louisiana)
One of my daughter's names has "Lola" in it due to our Yoruba roots. There are other names commonly used in Europe that are parts of longer Yoruba names. Edited to add: we also have Iberian links.
@@MsPeabody1231 It makes sense to shorten Lolade to Lola, specially in English social usage. The full name Maria Dolores means "Mary of the pains/aches". In Spain, catholic virgin names are going out of use. Maria Dolores used to be 4th most used now is 20th and only in the Lola variant. No young mother wants to call her daughter pains, at least in Spain

My Ancestry update gave me 1% Egyptian. Which, when you consider the fact that I'm a Jamaican who teaches and performs Egyptian Dance...... That's really trippy! I strongly suspected it because on 23 my uncle has North African and my cousin has Coptic specifically. So even though my dad and I didn't get the marker, at least on 23, I felt it had to be there. Myheritage, which was the least accurate for my European and African gave me North African. Ancestry also gave me Pilipino, which I knew from 23. I feel like you have to take several companies to get a fuller picture.
Curious what companies help you with your family tree?
@@chrisventura1881 Think Ancestry is the best for that. They also have access to a lot of records. I was really surprised at some of the documents they were able to find, but you have to pay extra for that level of service.
@TRUTHTEACHER2007 yeah doesn't seem too accurate. Only way would be if the whole world did it too pool all the DNA together. Im not interested in DNA breakdown. But I am interested in my family tree. I'm not sure my ancestors beyond Great Grands. I never met them just know their names. I'd love to learn more about the people who came before me.✌🏼
The hair looks great.
thank you:)
So does the biker shorts
" @cedricharris ", YES , I didn`t want to be the first guy to say it , but Danielle has beautiful legs !!
@@Percept2024 oh that's her name ☺
She's married people.
This was a great video that shows the depths you go to correlate the information you’re receiving from various testing services, historical information, family history, etc. You’re definitely doing great work to properly interpret the data.
BTW, compliments on your intro modifications. Shorter intros, with that music background, is a nice touch!
OMG,Your hair looks absolutely beautiful along with the rest of you.🥰🌺
Hi Danielle, I have been watching for a while now. You are the reason I did my DNA test with Ancestry. Now I am at a loss my mother side doesn’t know their history and my father side I have not idea because my grandmother died when I was 19 and my father died when I was 15 years old. Now I get these 15 ancestral regions and I don’t know where to start on both sides of my family. My grandmother is a live on my mom side but she doesn’t want to help at all. She keep says we are better off not knowing which of course I want to know what’s you are hiding grandmother. Thank you for your videos.
... It's amazing how much stuff many of our families hid in our family trees regardless of our race/class.If your family has been in 🇺🇸 for a bunch of generations, it's hard to tell what all you may unearth from the roots of your family tree.
Love your hair! I think it's good to research the communities and know what was going on during the time when our ancestors were alive. I think it could also help us to break through some of our brickwalls.
...& help us build bridges😊.
Thank you for this new post, Danielle. I have had an Ancestry DNA account for years, the most recent update until the newest one was September 2019.
The Ancestry DNA update that I just received had a substantial change over all previous updates. In the past my largest match was Great Britain & Northwestern Europe followed by Germain heritage.
This new update reversed that and made Germain my largest match by far. It was followed by Great Britain and Northwestern Europe.
The new update also added several new location matches in smaller percentages.
I love your videos and your hair looks great. To say that these are interesting would be an understatement. Keep 'em coming and I'll keep watching. 👍🏾
My update from ancestry puts me with Spain and Portugal at 84 percent and my community is in the Canary Islands. My parents who have never took the test and are deceased also have communities that comes under journey by parents and my mother’s community is in northern Spain, Azores as well as Ireland and what is interesting about Ireland is that my great grandmother was of English descent, but yet my mother’s community is in Ireland. My father’s community is also interesting because it is Ashkenazi Jews in Eastern Europe as well as Louisiana French settlers and French settlers of Mississippi, New Orleans, Quebec, New York and Vermont. I truly believe that I am Spanish, French and English, but mostly Spanish and I hope to one day hire a Genealogist to help me find my paper trail and my real heritage.
A really good book is Louisiana and the Gulf South Frontier, 1500-1821 by F. Todd Smith. I learned so much that I had no clue that I was ignorant about. The gulf coast was originally colonized by the Spanish and French who had different ways of doing things than the English. It covers a lot of the history of the different Indigenous groups and their interactions with the colonizers. They got caught in the politics of Europe and the Europeans manipulating the Indigenous rivalries. At different times, the colonists were not supported by their governments and had to fend for themselves. So many different groups settled in Louisiana like Germans and French refugees from Haiti. I had heard that New Orleans was a Caribbean city, not culturally part of the US and now I understand what that means. It also goes into the Kings Road and the ties between Nacogdoches and Natchitoches. A really thorough deep dive into the region.
It’s great to see your channel growing… especially as one of the early riders to your adventure. With that said, if you’re so deeply ‘Louisiana’, we’re probably cousins 😂🙂↔️ - we are all related somehow down here. Keep up God’s work…pray all is well.
I don’t know if this will help but I do know that the men who started Natchitoches, La. and Nacogdoches, Tx. We’re Twin Brothers. Love what you’re doing! Keep Digging! ♥️
My dad's side of the family move to Maryland USA from Central England in 1800's and married Black women (my great great Do I throw another great in there?" ). I have a photo of him in his British Uniform.
I can only trace my mom's family back to Oklahoma where her great grandmother (Cherokee) married her great great grandfather (an escaped slave and former Civil war Buffalo soldier at ft. Sill ). And he also fought with US Grant from The battle of the Wilderness to Appomattox. Its fortunate he lived to over 100 years old , else we would not have his History.
Wow, you gotta share more of that! What important parts of American history that often doesn’t get mentioned!
Sounds very interesting!
I’ve found the Journeys (formerly Communities) on Ancestry to be pretty good. It accurately listed many that I knew about and some I need to look further into.
No worries, your hair is lovely! I was exstatic to see the new communities, it helped confirm some theories I have on my mom's side (Sephardic is now a category!). The Irish results made me laugh, b/c like you I had almost none but crazy amounts of Scottish (inc my dad, where I get it from). I will say for Ulster, a lot of people have Scottish descent because of the Plantation of Ulster years. It blew my mind b/c it's a sad history but explains why we have Scots-Irish in US and why it's hard to narrow down DNA when it comes to Scots and Irish (on top of the Celts dna).
Thanks for the tip. I now need to go read up on the Plantation of Ulster.
A good colorist is priceless. I love the conditioner in the dye box though. It really tames my nappy hair.
the conditioner IS AMAZING. Im so glad you said that. I would buy the dye just for the tiny conditioner tube
Keep up the great work.
A wonderful mix. Be proud of them.
It is interesting that Ancestry DNA regions show that we can share a connection to others that we would have not thought we are connected to. For example, although a majority of my ancestors, 64%, came from Europe, 26% of them came from indigenous Americas Mexico and though I don't identify as Mexican as I am a descendant of a tribe from Southern California, my region includes Southern California, Southern Arizona, Sonora, Mexico, and Baja California, Mexico. In addition, I got 2% Indigenous Americas Yucatan Peninsula plus 3% Indigenous Americas North. So clearly the Natives of the American Southwest and the Natives of Mexico are related.
I look like a total white boy and while I am white, primarily from Germanic Europe, the British Isles, and some from Southern Europe, I also have a substantial amount of ancestry from people of color. I knew from family history that am part Native American, but the Ancestry test surprised at me as I also have 3% Sub-Saharan African blood and 2% from Northern Africa which means I am part black and Arab too. More and more I am seeing that Human Beings are connected. So what race am I? Human!
ONE RACE, THE HUMAN RACE, BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER!
Your hair color looks great!
love the continued couch conversations. these conversations are helping me heal from the circle of secrets. i have found THREE marriage records of my grandparents due perhaps to her being "colored" and him being Irish. one Catholic Registry, one civil registry, and then a LATER civil court record??? i have watched a RUclips vid on why 25% of our DNA is NOT always our grandmother~ but i don't really understand it....yet.
Canadian French were called Acadians if they came from modern day Nova Scotia. There are distinct French speaking communities in Canada based on New France colonies. France battled Britain and lost a battle on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec in 1759. French who refused to be British subjects ended up in Louisiana as it was French territory. Acadians were forcibly removed. Other less war related French Canadian migration post 1800 is present in Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts.
@1:12 you got that hair that changes with the seasons, with that dark brown, black and copper hair, you can style it naturally, ain't nothing wrong with it, lol. During the summer, part of my hair can get bleached into copper, and I get a copper tone tan when I work out in the field. The sun dictates, so I roll with it, haha.
I checked out the new ancestry journey update and I was quite pleased with it. It showed I am descended from Louisiana Creoles . I have been intrigued about this part of my ancestry as Creoles are beautiful people.
My update seemed more accurate AND more mystifying than previous ones. I'm still 2/3 to 3/4 Irish (Connaught and Ulster) on both paternal and maternal sides, which I know to be the case from research. They finally added in the "Germanic Europe" that I always knew had to be there as I know I have some ancestors from Bavaria on my mother's side. So far so good, but the fun and the mystery were in the trace elements. They always had given me 1% Cyprus, which was completely mystifying. This time they refined it to 1% Eastern Mediterranean, Southern Italian. There was also 1% Denmark, down from 9%, which made sense, and 1% Wales. The Ancestry results purport or aim to, at least, show people where their ancestors were living a thousand years ago. What could possibly connect Denmark, England or Wales, and Southern Italy? So I'm thinking Normans? They were in all those areas. In genealogy, each new question that gets answered seems to raise more!
I also had a super specific community that was a really small radius in Austria/Hungary that my dad and granduncle still have but for some reason they took it away. It is so accurate to my tree, matches, and immediate family have it so I don’t get that logic but hopefully I get re attached to it.
Another thing about ancestry communities is they are heavily impacted by your matches, so you may get communities if you have a lot of cousins from that community even if you don’t necessarily connect to it with your direct ancestors.
Great information! Love the detail. I might have to take another test; I would love to uncover more detailed information. Thanks.
Cousin Dani👋 it’s me. Hope ur well. I wanted to tell u that music and intro on the couch with coffee. 🤌 it was noticed and it was good! So proud to call you cousin
I have Munster Ireland as well, most of my ancestry from Ireland comes from the southwest corner of the island (County Kerry specifically, do I know there's more than just that county in that region). They gave me about six specific areas within Munster, most of which I'm pretty sure encompass where my grandfather's ancestors are from. A lot of Irish immigrants came from that area, I think Cork is included in there as well and there were a lot of Irish immigrants that came from county Cork. I also went to Ireland in 2016 so I'm somewhat familiar with the area. Super beautiful place by the way, completely recommend visiting!
Makes you wonder what was going on in Munster that made them want to leave.
Very interesting content. I truly enjoy watching. It's pretty interesting even among siblings with the same parents, traits that show.
Genetics is extremely complicated.
I loved that you did a video about the recent AncestryDNA update. My percentages changed so much. What were yours?
I just love your videos. Communities sound neat.
Prior to colonization, Ireland was divided into 5 Kingdoms which now essentially serve as provinces, you having Ulster and Munster is interesting because they are the northernmost and southernmost provinces... Ulster tends to be more of a Scots/Cumbrian and Norse mixed Irish because of where it is in relation to historical geography, known for the Red Hand O'Neil, the Troubles, and all sorts of wild history. Steeped in interfaith conflict between Catholic and Protestant, even moreso than other Irish provinces which is thought to be a lot of why Northern Ireland is essentially evenly split between Loyalists and Irish Unitarians... the most common reasons for Irish migration were to escape the concentrated interfaith violence or to escape English colonialism. (in the early days only to be met stateside with having cabbage and potato thrown at them off the boat and not being allowed in many public places due to segregation being applied to them)
this is what I was hoping someone could explain to me! I cant wait to piece it together.
My great great grandpa had "north ireland" as his birthplace when he came to the US. Not sure about his wife. My family is/was Catholic
@@nytn I don't know when he came over, but the generation and religion would suggest there is a good chance he did so to escape sectarian violence, the troubles were in full swing by 1920, and Catholic Independence supporters were being quite literally hunted down by Protestant Loyalist Paramilitaries.
Love all the information! I hope to learn much more about Ireland. My Great Grandmother on my mom's side came from Cloontuskert, Roscommon, Ireland during the beginningof the 1900s. I have never been but I used Google maps to drive around the village haha
@@timeforchange3786 County Roscommon is in Connacht, on the western coast, another of the 5 kingdoms, in myth Roscommon is said to be the seat of the legendary Queen Méibh... My family is largely Ulster Irish and Scottish, and I got really into decolonizing, learning Gaelic language and culture, and the history... it really is interesting with no shortage of great stories and mysteries. I just love learning about any and all cultures, 100% xenophile, but obviously it's more personal when it's tied to the blood in one's veins.
England annexed Ireland about 700 years ago but tensions started to really flare up after England broke from Rome. Ulster became friendly ground to anti-Protestant revolutionaries (and assassins) and as such became difficult for England to control. England’s solution was to supplant the native Irish population in Ulster with mostly lowland Scottish and English Protestant planters. Now outnumbered, the native Catholic Irish lost more agency. This status became systematically formalized through the rise of the Anglo-Irish aristocracy and its attendant governmental and ecclesiastical institutions, all of which the Irish resented. I find the picture more complicated than how 19th c Irish republicans framed the established Church’s role but I do agree that Westminster’s handling of the famine was foolish and led directly to the civil war in the 20th c.
Danielle, you are Gorgeous.
You should write a book.
Thank you for your hard work.
Great video!
There are so many Blacks that passed for white. It comes out sometimes as we age. I work in a assisted living see many.
😊
The Puerto Rican connection could be through shared ancestors from the Canary islands? I once went through some old New Orleans parish records and Puerto Rican families were certainly present there.
There were multiple changes on my DNA with the new dump of data on Ancestry. I knew I had Dutch from my surname and the paper trail. My ancester founded New Amsterdam (now New York City). But it didn’t show up before. I assumed it was included in the Northwestern Europe category. But my 20% Swedish disappeared and turned into Finland and The Netherlands. My Irish is now split to include Iceland. My percentage of French more than doubled. My Southern Bantu changed to Yorubaland (which I'd never heard of) and Camaroon. My daughter didn't get any of the new stuff from me. It is very interesting to see how the gene lottery works. I apparently gave her most DNA from my mother and not very much from my dad. My first cousins used to share the same Southern Bantu with me, but now theirs changed to something else and it's not even the same as each other. My aunt went from decending from 3 tribes in Africa to 6. This tells me my African ancestors were here for multiple generations mixing up the blood lines before passing. It appears from cousin matches that there was passing in both my grandmother and grandfather's families. I can't tell yet whether this will make it easier or harder to track them down!
Your natural hair is beautiful.
It cut off while you were still talking. It stop at you saying, “Maybe by…” I played it back twice. Would love to support your book!
Oh my gosh! What the heck happened?! Hahah. I uploaded this to YT with an ending that is not there 😅😅
That's interesting, my adopted sister did Ancestry and found out she had French settlers of Quebec as ancestral community too. That would be so bonkers if you guys were cousins!
Ulster Plantations : Scott-Irish part of Ireland where many people from Scotland settled. Many people in Appalachia hace Scotts -Irish ancestry
Great video, the italian is very strong. In the future, you should do a video on the louisiana spanish and the Choctaw apache tribe which is state recognized, a fascinating rabbit hole.
Interesting. All these DNA companies have different databases in comparison. The genetic grouping updates just keep appearing. I haven't heard Creoles of Color in a long time.
Hello my NewYork sister ❤️ I’ve been watching without commenting and I do apologize 😳 One wish that I would have for you is to experience your hair on the brown side of life. I see the beautiful curls and I would love for you to do traditional box braids or platts as we used to call them. Try an African Braiding shop, Love ya❤
Munster was one of the four major divisions of Ireland (mostly southwest). Munster has a high Celtic Irish population, being west of the so-called Pale of Settlement where "Englishry of the Pale" had settled between century 13 and century 16. Ulster was in the north, and was the place where James I of England aka James VI of Scotland (the "King James" of "King James Bible" fame) had taken land from Celtic Irish locals who had supported "Red Hugh O'Neill, the Earl of Ulster, in his rebellion against the English during Elizabeth I, and given it to Lowland Scottish Protestants (who became the source of the "Scotch-Irish" and tried their hand at killing Celtic Irish Catholics as a dress rehearsal for killing Native Americans in century 18 and c. 19).
My family is interesting to me partly because they are mainly Scots and Ulster, but Catholic, and pro independence in their respective countries, so I always feel a stigma, but being they were working class Catholics and Jacobites that were put into indentured servitude and brought over here on one branch, and came over trying to escape the Loyalist paramilitaries on another the story is different from what I would guess is the normal "Scots-Irish' American story.
Before World War 2 , at Saint Patrick`s Cathedral in New York City , the ITALIANS had to use the basement of the Cathedral for their masses , because the IRISH would not allow Italians to use the first floor !!
@@Percept2024 Irish are a mixed bag when it comes to that stuff, especially Irish-Americans, Fredrick Douglas wrote that as an escaped slave the Irish would either be very helpful in a sense of solidarity, or they would pretend to be helpful only to turn them in for a bounty, so it was easier to just not trust them... Bernadette Devlin also said that Irish-Americans were disappointing to her because they were all bigots, and the people she really felt kinship with were the Black and Latino people of New York City who knew what oppression was really like, she was given the key to the city and gave it to the Black Panthers.
@@UilleamMacLoganach Also , when they tried to integrate the schools in Boston in the 1970`s , the anger and hatred toward Blacks from the Irish was tremendous.
@@Percept2024 Italians didn't have a great track record when it came to Black folks and integration, either, Italian-Americans are the main people who want to preserve Columbus day and celebrate him, despite his ills and the way he dehumanized the natives... it's sad to me how formerly oppressed groups find it so easy to contribute to the oppression of others when really we should be even more compassionate toward it. I think a lot of people in general gain some backward self-satisfaction by feeling like they are above others.
Wow could the Canada French communities be Cajuns who migrated to Louisiana territory? I find the communities interesting in the direction my ancestors may have went or come from. I only have mid Atlantic and southeastern African American groups.
Start at St. Martinsville, Louisiana....memorial wall. It's in a museum. The creole museum is next door. I'm one step ahead of you in this as I am next door in Texas.
The Acadians (French speaking Catholics) were forcefully removed from Nova Scotia Canada in 1755. The resettled in Louisiana. There were also many who resettled in ME, NH, VT, and MA too. I heard about it through descendants living in New England. Many many many maintained their French language throughout their lives through the generations to this day.
Potenza... Interesting. I've been to Potenza once. In the archeological museum there are kept rather interesting female grave goods.
Genealogy heads up; Romero[Ramirez].
I am 40% English, 50% West African (4 nationalities) , 10% American Indian (mom's side) . The DNA test I took was cheap, not too specific.
4? Usually people’s ancestry is more detailed than that. I’m European and African and mine is very detailed with the nationalities like Nigeria, Senegal, Benin and Togo, etc
My original dna results were 87 percent Irish and 13 percent Scottish. With this update they gave me 7 percent Scottish and 6 percent english. My mother got 16 percent Scottish rest irish. Happy enough with that.
my only "ancestral journeys" on Ancestry are on my mother's side, whereas I used to have the same communities on my father's side that he does, but now they have disappeared for me but not for him🤷♂
The maternal haplogroups are also passed from mother to son, not just to daughters. The maternal haplogroup is from the mitochondria DNA, which is the food source for all of your cells. It's not part of the X-chromosome that is also passed from a mother to all of her children.
As a note, FTDNA Family Finder is rolling out the high-level haplogroups to people who test there directly and they will add the haplogroups to people who have transferred their DNA, but those who transferred their DNA will be the last people to get that assignment.
Nacogdoches, Texas to Natchitoches, Texas ;isn't this sort of the area where the Redbones are from ? It is an aeea that is " like a bridge" between the Louisana Creoles and Mexican -American and Mexicans from Southern Texas/ Northern Mexico .
No, neither Ancestry nor 23andMe accept uploads from other companies.
Do you still have the raw DNA data file that you uploaded to GEDmatch? If so, you can upload it to MyHeritage and FTDNA.
You cannot download your raw DNA data file from GEDmatch, but since you had to have a copy on your computer in order to upload it to GEDmatch, do you still have a copy?
Another tip. Be sure to save any raw DNA data that you download. That is the primary source for any analysis.
this is good, Im going to see what I have..

So your recent ancestry test "let you be Creole", lol, how would they know that, especially when Creole is a mixed raced modern ethnicity? 🤔
Me personally, I don't trust ancestry companies if they don't use haplogroups (which determines lineal ancestry origins of everyone), and maternal/paternal (which traces lineage and relations to family and relatives).
Many ancestry companies try to pool all the lineage and parts of DNA to find a genetic pool for modern ethnic groups, which would have numerous errors for mixed individuals, wouldn't anyone think?
I always heard the Acadians were Huguenots who came to Canada and were deported or pushed out to the point they were ethnically cleansed tho a lot mixed with Natives and today are the Cajuns of Louisiana.
Acadians are primarily the French people who moved down to Louisiana from Quebec when France lost Quebec to the English, best guess is that this where his Quebec settlers link.
The French Canadians migrated to Louisiana (Arcadians or Cajuns!).
Your Irish ancestry and your ability to show direct links to specific people born in Ireland makes you eligible to apply for Irish citizenship/passport! Do it 😎
Usually having results from multiple blood relatives gives a more accurate picture, because your own genes are a random partial sample of your ancestry tree. Genetic trees are narrowly good back 8 generations; 256 ancestors then, 256 more between them and you.. Beyond that, you have to rely on conventional genealogy. It would be hard to know anything about all those 500+ people.
I've been a member of Ancestry since 2011. I contacted them after my aunt and daughter both showed French dna. I've matched with 100% French members. They listed French Canadian areas. When I contacted them, they acted like I didn't know what I was talking about. In this new update, I am.... 29% French. That is ridiculous. It took 13 years to show French.
You matched with 100% French members?
Good morning neighbor lady, from Copperhill Tn. 😊😊
good morning!
@NYTN: No, you did expect becouse it is exactly the ancestors that I predicted several videos ago. In any case, you should know that in North Africa there were Romans, so whites, Carthaginians, whites too, Suebi, Alans and Vandals that Visigoths expelled from Spain, that is, Germanic tribes and also in the USA, especially in the east or those who arrived. By Ellis Island they have a lot of mixture with Jews.
I repeat that creole is not a mixture of races, it is a word that comes from the Spanish "criollo" and they were the white Spaniards who were born outside the metropolis, the mestizos, it is usually applied to a mixture with Indians in Spanish and mulattos mixed with blacks.
It is evident that for a time some of your ancestors were part of the Spanish Empire because those Indians they are telling you about disappeared with the English and the Usacs, instead they were part of Spanish communities.
Another part of your family was Irish and Nigerian, which was a British colony but at that time they did not have slaves, perhaps it was the one who bought land in Louisiana?
Well there can be two about the Southwestern Quebec settlers :it can be in the Arcadian ( Cajun) DNA or French settlers who came down the Mississippi who traded furs and others goods all the way down to New Orleans,Southern Mississippi , and Southern Alabama .If you want to learn more about this maybe see if you can get documents or papers of tarders in Louisians down the Mississippi some where French Quebecois others were half French /half Native : the sons of French men with Native women .
(Its because they don't really move that far away.) Its just a grouping of them making the culture East Texan. Natchitoches and Nacogdoches are not French in origin but Indian (Indigenous American) everything around them has a mixture of Indian, French Creole, Spanish blind. I cant really tell you why but also a Southeast Asian feel. The Southeast Asians are not beating the allegations of being seen as Black/Hispanic (but that neither here nor there) But Texas and Louisiana would fight you over any slender of the Vietnamese and Filipino Tía's
Amy Johnson Crow said the ancestry algorithm changed a little bit
My Irish ancestors left because the king of England was trying to tax them. And they were ship merchants, do they got on one of their ships and came to American.
You need the book Traced by Dr Nathanal Jeanson.
I’ve just said we are all mutts these days. I don’t mean that in any sort of derogatory way. I say it because I think too many people these days run around as if they are “pure” or something (whatever that means. I will say however that each marker from each community represents an individual in time that contributed to the genetic makeup that makes you who/what you are. An individual with a story. From another culture with another story. And a history with its own story. And if their story didn’t happen, you wouldn’t be you.
I was hoping to connect with you in a phone conversation. I messaged you. I don’t want to be a pest so I will not bring it up again. I think (and yes, I could be wrong) that you would enjoy the conversation. And based on your videos, I am interested in your opinion. You definitely seem like a very impassioned and thoughtful person so that is my motivation to have that conversation
Oh thank you! I definitely missed that message. I really appreciate your perspective on identity-it’s true, we’re each made up of countless stories, woven together in a way that makes us beautifully complex and interconnected.
Just to be open with you, I've had to be mindful about privacy due to past experiences with people trying to track me down!
I’m happy to keep the conversation going here if you’d like, though-I really value engaging with people who bring curiosity and insight to these topics. Or over on Patreon, Im able to direct message with folks! Thanks again for understanding, and I’m looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts!
@@nytn : I may comment here if I see a video that I want to offer something on but the conversation I was trying to have is not one I want to attempt here. I messaged you again since you missed my other message. Like I said, don’t want to be a pest so up to you. Either way I definitely understand.
@@diablosmda324 this is a really weird way to interact with a youtube presenter, m8, you're creeping me out.

Ooo... Canadian too... 😅😅😅.
Your pretty unique.. 😊, but definitely not al9ne at all... alot of us out here.. the sun dying of your hair is something, not sure what.. but my hairs goes black to plum to copper depending on the season...
Do you guess correctly alot?..:
Does the early Creoles means the origianl Freench and SPanish settlers ? cause in early Louisian creole meant white Frenchs or white Spaniards born in the Americas .
So I have a question, when it says a place like Puerto Rico what does that mean to you as far as being Puerto Rican? Does that mean you had ancestors who lived in Puerto Rico at some point or does that mean you had some, I dunno, let’s say some mulatto ancestor, who had roots in Puerto Rico for a long period of time & that’s what makes you Puerto Rican?
My friend was always told he was Cuban. He found out during slavery his ancestor was sold to a Cuban and they lived there for less than a 100 years and moved back. Just like Marilyn Monroe had a grandma that lived in Mexico for a while, does that make her ‘mixed with Mexican?’ And are we mixed with races or ethnicities?
Also, I wonder do people prefer an ancestry company who provides more of their desired results over the competitor. Hmm.
When you are made of the salt of the earth you can go everywhere and blend in.
Got my update and my Scottish was too low, I should have at least 12% due to a grandmother.
Doesn't work like that. Watch Geneavlogger for more info.
you look good girl
Chilly with the big is too real
As far as Trinidad and P.R. go, understand that the Indigenous Caribbean people (Arawak) inhabited alk of the Caribbean, and since Spain occupied both islands 'Cairi' (Trinidad) and Boricua (P.R) with Africans generally from the same regions (mostly Benin, Nigeria, etc) and of course the Spaniards with the main difference being a greater population of 'West Indians' in Trinidad than in P.R. (P.R. had/has West Indians but no where near the population that Trinidad has). My point being it may be that you're more from P.R than the latter. Unless you find West Indian in your ancestry then its anyones guess. Either way, these terms P.R., Trini, etc are not races or ethnicities, but nationalities. The Caribbean are all ONE people conquered and divided, colonized and brainwashed into thinking they are not one and the same.

The word Cajun comes from the word Acadian
Acadians were some of the first slaves in the new world and they were actually slaves of Caucasian descent brought down to Louisiana from Newfoundland and other parts of Canada after they had arrived in new world 🌎
Acadians were not enslaved. Our Acadian ancestors went through incredible hardships, but they were not enslaved.
@@caballero_del_arboles thank you for the correction I actually had to look that up
I've been told otherwise by my family from LA
Of course there are lots of common misconceptions and things that whole cultures get wrong
Even googling it it's a very common Google question so somewhere along the way people have been saying or asking that for quite some time I guess
I thoroughly believed to be true otherwise I wouldn't have So probably put my comment
Oh well I tried it thank you for the correction learn something new everyday
I live in ulster
Respectfully:
Creoles are copper tone people from Europe particularly French !
Creoles were originally people around the Louisiana area who were born in America vs Europe, so we’re talking about White people. Eventually, the mixed race Blk/Wh people in the area began to be called ‘Creole’ and today it primarily refers to them. When we think of Creole we’re talking about mulattos from Louisiana. There are no copper tone people from Europe, unfortunately.
Ancestry does do haplogroups, but it’s an extra cost. Also C1C is and Asian branch in the Americas it’s still an Asian haplogroup from Asians born in the Americas it’s not from the Americas. Indigenous just means Native its not and autochthon Haplogroup,it has known other origins in East Asia.
So weird that she won’t post her ancestry dna results
Maybe she wants to avoid the judgement that’s sure to come no matter what her results say.
I have posted them! I wanted to focus on the communities today. Here are a couple :

It is Yoruba there in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
I just watch for the eye candy. 😊
She’s gorgeous!
😂right 😂
congrats on being shallow then
Your gorgeous 😍
In Ulster. Lot of Scottish dna.
Acadians? That would expect the Quebec ancestry.

My stuff was bs imo
I only got 3 ancestral journeys, all on my maternal side, and they all overlay each other geographically. Nothing on my maternal side, and nothing that traces back to the old world. So not useful at all.
Some of our ancestors are randos. Orphans, adoptees, run-away slaves ... Part Irish? There is a pot of gold waiting for you ;-)
Seems I can't call you paisà any longer... ( damn .2 % ) 😠😠
The biological reproductive process is an evolutionary process that is a constant moving window forward creating each new individual, makes everyone a uniquely distinct individual that has never existed before or will ever exist again.
Genetically speaking, 50% of you have never existed before because of recombination crossover or segmentation and the fact that it takes two to make one, one is only 50% of both parents, and 50% genetically related to each sibling. Logically, it becomes pointless to go backwards to establish who or what you really are genetically.
It only takes SEVEN generations back to have zero access to any of the genetics of one's ancestors starting with 50% of one's parents, 25% grandparents, 12.5% great grandparents, 3.125% gggparents, 1.5% ggggparents, and 0% beyond.
Because everyone is a uniquely distinct individual where each generation losing access to half of the previous generation's DNA, the idea of race, "born a Jew" is not only a complete fraud, but it is criminally insane to claim there is such a thing as identity politics for political control.
I hate the new update. They changed some significant countries that really don’t make sense to me.
Yorubas are a Big subgroup among AfroCubans which frequently intermarried with Isleños, whom are Canary island descendants who established independent communities in Louisiana and intermarried with the French, the aboriginals of the Canaries are the Guanches, ethnically associated with Berbers of North Africa. What it does not add up is the absence of Iberian markers. And I can't understand the length you go to assume that Lola is a Nigerian name and not the nickname of Dolores, a very common Spanish name. The common denominator is Catholicism and the Viceroyalty of Nueva España typical migration and genetic patterns, including Sephardic Jewish itinerance ... You look like a typical Southern Spanish beautiful lady btw... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle%C3%B1os_(Louisiana)
One of my daughter's names has "Lola" in it due to our Yoruba roots. There are other names commonly used in Europe that are parts of longer Yoruba names.
Edited to add: we also have Iberian links.
@@MsPeabody1231 It makes sense to shorten Lolade to Lola, specially in English social usage. The full name Maria Dolores means "Mary of the pains/aches". In Spain, catholic virgin names are going out of use. Maria Dolores used to be 4th most used now is 20th and only in the Lola variant. No young mother wants to call her daughter pains, at least in Spain
