Send this to NFKRZ. He'll get a kick out of this one.
I sent him a dm on insta, so hopefully he'll message back!
I recently discovered NFKRZ, I respect him so much for his views, being open with his views, and for leaving his known life/country/family/friends in order to stand by his principles. So inspiring. I really hope he takes you up on your offer, I would love to see you guys collaborate.
That would be really interesting if he contacts you to create his family tree and find out if the admixture was right or not.
I've been a fan of Roman since he was just finishing his University education. He's one of several young Russian anti-Putin RUclipsrs I follow. He's very bright and very funny. I very much enjoy your channel too.
finally reaction content that isn't stealing the content but actually adding information and such to it.. props!
I saw Roman’s original video and took the dna test.. currently waiting for the results. I have some ancestors from Eastern Europe and hopefully the admixture will give me more insight, the boundaries have changed since the 19th century.
So glad to see you posting on such a regular basis!! We've missed you.
So, I will say that my 23&me surprise results, is how I found out my mom was half Polish instead of half German - but now I'm trying to learn more about my eastern European ancestors and cousins, including learning Ukrainian so I can read the trees of my cousins who are Ukrainian, Russian and Macedonian] And it was your original reaction to his first video that introduced me to his channel too.
Oh, and I'm coming to think that even for relatives, a full dna test like Nebula, because I've uploaded my 23&me + Ancestry results to the same site, and the relatives aren't always same or even there. I'm saving up for that now.
Borders shift, so if her family was from Western Poland, it's possible they were technically German. My grandmother's maternal grandmother is like that - many were from the German Partition, and there may be 1 German ancestor (8th great-grandparent) somewhere in the mix. I think because of that, I have many German matches on my dad's maternal side (half of them are Russians living in Germany too, which is odd).
@@jennifer255 In the case of western Poland, not only did the borders shift, but a population exchange took place after 1945 - Germans left for Germany, and in their place Poles were resettled from the areas of modern Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania, as well as from other parts of Poland. Without insight into family history, it is difficult to make any judgments.
Zero surprise here, Polish and German people are pretty mixed, so many people have both German and Polish ancestors.
I come from a very small family so I’m mostly into the geological information. I am first generation American on my mother’s side and second on my dad’s. I know exactly where my close relatives live, so it came as a hugh surprise when I found some 4th cousins living near me. We eventually met up and found no common ancestor but did come from the same archipelago islands (Åland & Åboland) in the Baltic Sea. That’s when I learned about endogamy from this channel 😃
Åland is part of Finland now, before that part or Sweden.
I am an African American. Took the Ancestry DNA test. There is only one surprise. I have 1% from Bengal. This was puzzling until I looked into the history of the people from Bengal coming to America. Because of their color they lived amoung the African Americans and Puerto Rican Communities. Hoping more relatives take a test to see if itshows up again. Now I have to track down through which ancestor this came. Love your channel.
I found your channel while trying to look up that DNA video, I wasn't aware of his older one until I discovered your channel! Today I've been watching a lot of your stuff to get over the fact I took a nap and missed the eclipse totality on Monday! 😞
Comment for the algorithm! I’ve never seen this guy’s channel before, I’ll have to check him out! I’m very curious about any white paper information for this test, I wonder if there’s any out there!
There's actually a Pontic Greek ethnic minority in Russia, around the Caucasus region. Though I'm not sure how related they are genetically to the Greeks from Greece. Probably, not very much.
Migration patterns are the interesting thing to look at. If I use my parent's DNA as a starting point to look at (grandparents passed away before DNA testing really became popular), I can kind of see patterns where my grandparent's families were from.
German Grandmother - Maternal side is from near Aalen, with my great-grandmother's paternal side coming from SW Germany (this is in line with her saying "We are from the Alps."). Paternal side is more unknown, but likely split between Bavaria (possible aristocracy or nobility somewhere - also has Balto-Slavic populations on GEDMatch), and Westphalia area (Ancestry has 3-10% British - now Danish/Swedish on my mom's kit). GEDMatch also shows about 3-6% Jewish/Romanian/Balkans, too (Crimean Tatar diaspora on the extreme end - probably the Greco-Turkic islands on Ancestry).
Italian Grandfather - Tuscan - they didn't stay far. Although, there seems to be one line with northern Italian (Savoy and Verona/Friuli on my grandfather's paternal line), and another that's Sicilian on my grandfather's maternal side. This is only known from cousin matches and family stories (great-grandmother's family was "half dark skinned Italians and half light skinned Italians. My mom and I have more olive toned skin). My mom does get many variations of Mediterranean islands and Greek on her estimates (anywhere from 3% to 18% depending on the update).
Polish Grandmother - Quite the diversity on one side! Her paternal side is very much in Masovia/Podlaskie (his father's side, but mother is more unkonwn - East Poland, possibly Belarussian/Ukrainian somewhere). Maternal side is Kashubian and/or Sorbian on the paternal and Lithuanian/Unknown on the maternal. The unknown is likely Russian (cousins and aunts/uncles have 1-3% Finnish and Siberian). GEDMatch shows a lot of Belarussian (dad) and Ukrainian (aunt) (EuroK13) where I'd expect Polish or Lithuanian. The latter could also be my grandfather, though. Ancestry matches here have 50/50 Balto/Slavic to 67/33 Balto/Slavic admixture.
Polish Grandfather - Unknown, but may be a mix of Kashubian and Carpatho-Rusyn. On MyHeritage, I see this line of DNA matches with family trees that seem to migrate (ancestors from different generations) from Southern Russia to Rostov, to Donetsk and Mariupol, then Kherson, then Moldavia/Odesa->Lviv->Belarus/Poland. My grandmother's side is the one with a line going from Kazan (Volga German)->Ryazan->Moscow->St. Petersburg->Finland/Estonia->Lithuanian/Belarus. There's also a German-Polish/Slovakian-Ukrainian cluster of matches on MyHeritage that I can't quite figure out (this one is likely the South Polish that belongs to one of my grandfather's grandparents - one of them has a surname common to Krakow). There's even a Romanov cousin match in there somewhere, too! Ancestry matches here have 25/75 Balto/Slavic to 0-10/90-100 Balto-Slavic (also some matches with 1-5% German, Jewish and/or Balkans - likely the Odesa Germans?). The Volga-German cluster has distant cousin matches that seem to currently be from countries that read like a who's-who of Russian geopolitics (Northern Caucuses, Serbia, Syria, Iran). One set of distant cousins migrated south, and the other west.
What's funny is that, some GEDMatch calculators will often show my dad's side as having 1% Native American, which I think really comes from an Artic/East Siberian population. I find it funny because there's apparently many people in the US (with colonial ancestry) that have an "Indian Princess" story, but my family does not.
That Greek DNA - in the ancient times, there were Greek colonies all over the Black Sea coast, even what is now Ukraine and Russia. There were also more recent waves of migration, e.g. in the 1960´s when the Greek communists fled from Greece to USSR (and other countries of the former Eastern Block). The now destroyed city of Mariupol had probably the biggest Greek diaspora in Ukraine - I think it was at least partially very ancient or maybe going back to the Ottoman times.
I missed this but I'm watching now, thank you.
About Amerindian the native peoples of Siberia are related the native Americans.
Crimean War occurred between 1853-1856.... so if he is able to locate family regions, it would make sense working in reverse to his 2nd great-grandparents.
very interesting video, subscribed
Not an expert at all, but I know people affected to any extent by the Chernobyl incident had greater possibility for thyroid cancer. Which if you're Ukrainian/Russian means that likely some of your ancestors had thyroid cancer, but I would say it doesn't necessarily mean anything to a young person born a (few) decades after the incident?
This is pretty odd, Moldavian population is romanian, there is not any moldavian population, Moldavia was part of Romania, and in 1940 Russia wanted this land, and this is it, they just took it, they brought russians there, and nowadays moldavians are a mix of russian and romanians. So how can you be DNA moldavian? pretty odd. But, ya, Roman is such a funny guy.
To my understanding, the Moldovan data will comprise of random people from Moldova that took the test and are thus in their data base, be they ethnic Moldovans/Romanians, Ukrainians or Russian. Also, if you look at populations as a continuum, gradually changing as you move along, it makes sense for Moldovans to be more related to Ukrainians than people from SW Romania, for example. People moved irrespective of borders, especially as being the same religion would have helped with mixing.
Agree. I´ve recently seen some haplogroup maps of Europe and out of all Romanian-speaking populations, Moldova is the closest to Ukraine (surprise, surprise...). I´m talking about the "Slavic" R1a Y-haplogroup, of which Moldovans have substantially more other Romanian speakers. I guess ourcats816 is a Romanian who thinks his nation is a special pure-bred race. I´ve known quite a few Romanians like that so I hope I´m not jumping into conclusions.@@mimisor66
The Ket people of Central Siberia are a group that is believed to have back-migrated from the Americas, and there may have been other groups that did the same but have left no trace, so his Amerindian may be legit.
Can you please explain if the ADNTRO Ancient Admixture test is correct ? I took the Ancestry DNA test and it indicates I am 100% Northern and Western European. However, with the ADNTRO "Ancient Admixture" test they indicate that both myself and my father are between 11-13% African and 5-6% Native American. My father 's maternal grandmother is part Lumbee Indian and I have early colonial American ancestry from the Eastern Seaboard of the USA. Is it that the Ancestry test is very conservative and just goes back 200 years and the ADNTRO test is more thorough (possibly overdone ?) and goes back to the 1600's of colonial America ? Any help on deciphering this is appreciated.
All 8 of my great grandparents were Slavs, and I have DNA and genealogy from west (Poles), east (Rusyns), and south (Croats) Slavs. I have 0% Russian, but a little bit Baltic and Swedish.
Are you planning on doing a video about the 23andMe data breach? I'm seeing a lot of hysteria/"told ya so" reactions from ppl who don't even use these sites.
What was his 2nd test?
Hi . But the face of him like j2 why ??????????? There is no j2 ??????????????????
First!!
I uploaded my LivingDNA results to ADNTRO, and I was impressed. I scored 75% Southern Europe: 46% Italian (Tuscany, and Abruzzo), 25% Greek and Balkan (Greek), 4% Iberian (Portugal, Leon, Extremadura, West Andalusia, Galicia). 18% Northwestern Europe (France and Germany), 3% Northern Europe: Scandinavian (Norwegian), 2% Middle Eastern: Levant (Libya, Lebanon). While they don’t have an Ashkenazi category in their estimates, under their ethnics and regions section, they pinpointed Ashkenazi and Sephardi, as well as Iberian, Northwestern European (which included British and Irish), and Scandinavian. The Scandinavian is incorrect and in reality covers my English ancestry. In the estimates the 18% Northwestern Europe (French and German), and 3% Northern Europe: Scandinavian (Norway) is really 21% English, but it’s hard to decipher between Northwestern European populations as they all cluster so close together.
I also tested Eastern European and Russia although it was just 1% I am be fatal because my parents are from Puerto Rico But I'm saying how is this possible😊
The genealogy is s slow process. I have Sicilian, Prussian German and French Belgian. Try learning to read written Italian, not to bad. Germans in Poland. Read those records and it will give you a real headache. One word at at time. It takes forever. Then they switch to Cyrillic and I am just lost. I noticed they now have translated records from Dnipro and other places in Ukraine. My wife is from Dnipro so I am down that rabbit hole. I have also done a lot in Scotland and my brother in law, great great great grandfather born in Edinburgh about 1818 and I have his marriage and children but he died in the 1850's and I can't find out where he died. I think he went to Crimea and died in the war there. There are 5 guys with his name in Crimea and one died in 1855. I think this might be him. Need some corroboration and can't find anything 71st company. Born in Edinburgh but about 8 guys with the same name and no definite link. Also not all people registered the birth of their children.
I tried doing this genealogy about 20 years ago and got nowhere. You had to go to the family history center at a local church and order a film from Utah and they wait 2 weeks , pay $5 and go back and view the film. It took forever to go through one film. Now it is all digital and starting in 2019 I built out about 50% of my tree and did a lot more since. In Belgium back to the 1400's and then further all the way to the Roman Empire but that is kind of sketchy. I found a record presented to a court where they wanted to burn the step mother who inherited everything from a father. She was a gold digger and they wanted her declared to be a witch and burnt.
On the Prussian side , I traced back to Merianwerder and back to 1800 records. Then I found out the church burned down in 1800 so that is a dead end.
The captured Nazi records are pretty good. EWZ files and I found a guy in Edmonton who has the common ancestor with me that was born in 1795. I found his grandmothers passport and all of his aunts and uncles hand written letters that were in B.C and got them for $9. It completed the connection to my tree. His grandfather from Zhitomir was taken from the kitchen table and shot by the Russians about 1939. Not sure about the date. His father ended up in the gulag and was released and came to Canada in 1950.
During Covid, ancestry.com was available for free from my city library and I could get it at home. It is very good and then last year in June it was supposed to be unavailable but I am still getting it for free. I have had the site on my computer all the time. When I try the other computers in my house I can't get the site , but my upstairs computer gets it for free. It is really convenient.
I see some cousins getting married in my tree and a lot of births , and the marriage comes after the birth of the first child. Also lots of illegitimate births. This one set of cousins married and 9 out of 12 children died young. Maybe they were inbred too much ?
Oh wow, I only had 1% Ashkenazi Jewish in Ancestry, but not in my other 2 tests with FamilyTree and My Heritage. Oooh but I did show 1 or 2% I think of Anatolia , Armenia, Mesopotamia?
I had Balkan in my results with FamilyTree and My Heritage. But Ancestry didn't give me any Balkan results.
I prefere looking at the information I already have about my ancestors and the general history of this area to understand where my DNA might come from. 😅😅
