I think the reason they dont get into possible genetic matches in their videos is that they dont want people to suddenly get swarmed by strangers looking for Jack's/Pew's relatives.
I'm trying so hard all my life to actively avoid about 80% of the family I personally know. I cannot even begin to tell you how dreadful the idea of unearthing even more random family members I have no other connection to other than a fraction of my genes is to me.
The Basque people in northern Spain are the closest genetically to the Irish. It's believed that Ireland was settled by the Basque after the ice age. That 4% could be the original inhabitants of Ireland.
Let's send Jack this! It would be soo cooool to see an update and how the result would change. Also i always wondered how accurate those are, i basically know nothing from one of my parents sides, and it would be cool to see, what would come up.
I took my test around the same time he did and the update that came after was HUGE! It was the update that finally separated France and Germany from being lumped together as Western European. I'm half French (my dads result actually states him as 100% French, which was surprisingly not surprising) and that wasn't reflected in my result until that update. Before then, French DNA seemed to be split between Western Europe, Iberian Peninsula, and England.
Before the AncestryDNA test I was told I was “half black half white”. But the test showed appx 1/3 West African and 2/3 British Isles. I was born in upstate NY. When I did my family tree on my white mom’s side, it had many branches going back to the founding of the United States. I inherited a sizable portion of British Isles from my ‘black” father of St Croix descent. I believe I have more British Isles ancestry than the average white Britain of today (due to migration to England from mainland Europe and Scandinavia) based on what I have read , the average white Brit is only ~ 50+ % British Isles.
During 19th century so many irish people migrated to the UK therefore modern british people usually get a good irish percentage...english people who settled in the USA during 17th century get more english dna along with maybe scandinavian and NW Europe due to Vikings and Saxons
I would bet real money that a fair chunk of the UK became Scottish in the newest upgrade! So many have gained a bunch of that with the Ulster connection. And with that combo, the Iberian could have been bits of Celtic from many ancestors. He does have that interesting red patch in England, though.....
Black Irish is a term that describes a Irish person with suspected Spanish ancestry from the 1500s. It was a common term used to describe an Irish person with dark hair and eyes.
It's a theory that has been found false. My mother was an Irish immigrant to Canada. Mum's family was from Galway in the west of Ireland. I have jet black hair, however I have extremely pail skin.
This myth is extremely widespread it's almost saddening, particularly by the fact that most Spaniards aren't even black haired, people just can't wrap their minds around someone having black hair in Ireland and being fully Irish
historically, the Celts migrated from Iberian peninsula after they left the Halstatt area in mid Europe split thru gaul and the Iberian peninsula . this was 500BCE-300BCE.
Well in spite of that bit of history, people are still awestruck by the fact that there is soo much blond hair and eyes in my family although I am of primarily Iberian stock. My results said I was 95% iberian pensula. Of course I wanst surprised those results since either know I am Half Portuguese and half Spanish, both from Northern Portugal and Northern Spain. Of course I live in the ignorant USA
It can be tough but it definitely can be done. I have helped many adoptees find their biological family through working with SearchAngels.org. If you are an adoptee looking to find your family, check out that site and you can apply for a Search Angel FOR FREE! The techniques to find biological families for Search Angels are the same ones used in identifying criminals through Forensic Genetic Genealogy.
I’m Welsh (British). My results were 45% Scots/Irish, 39% Welsh and 16% English. My Grandmother came from Belfast, but was surprised at the 45% in me. In the British Isles we’re all mixed up, probably.
I've been binging your videos today and I really love them, thank you for clarifying all the misconceptions about these tests! I would really like to both do some DNA test and some genealogy... But honestly a DNA test wouldn't be that interesting for me since I'm French and I know 7/8 great grandparents were born in France from parents born in France. So though I'd be curious about the other 1/8 (we are fairly sure she was Spanish) these tests will just tell me French & German, and I want more details haha, so really the genealogy is what I'm really after I guess ! My maternal grandmother's relatives are super into genealogy, so she has that whole tree tracing back to the 18-19th century. Would love to do that for the rest of my family one day 😊 anyway thanks again for your work!
@@GeneaVlogger That is true, you do point that out in your video often! What saddens me a bit is that there aren't many French people at all taking those tests because they're technically illegal in France 😂 so might be cool to find relatives abroad if I have any, but the population of relatives in France would most likely very limited. Still, could be very interesting! Thank you!
I did this test back in 2016. I also had some Spanish/Portuguese trace results. Since then Ancestry has done two updates, for my tree, and the Spanish/Portuguese trace has been dropped.
Right!? My grandparents are literally from Spain for generations, my other grandparents are from Mexico and somehow while I have clear markers for those regions I’m suddenly Scandinavian.... confused face.
I'll tell you what the Iberian signal is about because an older company that traced my y chromosome ( British isles) years ago told me that I also share ancestry with the Iberian populations. They tell most people who trace to Western Europe that. It means that people in Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland share the y chromosome R1b that is also shared with the Basque population between Spain and France. It doesn't mean that those of us from the Isles necessarily have ancestry in 'Spain'..It appears to mean that the majority of people, particularly men from the British isles and a large section of Western and central Europe, share the R1b y chromosome, which directly parrallels the Atlantic Modal Haplotype, which is the most common R1b signature in western Europe, including Ireland. Our connection to the Iberian peninsula largely dates back to when our particular paternal lineage entered western Europe. Probably over 6 thousand years ago or so.
I’m so curious of mine because my grandma doesn’t know her biological father they found out when her mother was passing and my dad’s grandfather is a total mystery as he died when my grandfather was 7 I’ve traced some branches to 1700s immigrated from Wales, Ireland, England, Netherlands, and France
About a decade ago when National Geographic was sequencing genomes my brother looked into our paternal migration line. I am excited to do my test to find out what else is going on and paint a bigger picture of our own ancestry.
Being from Ulster may explain the British connection, English and Scottish people settled in Ulster during the Plantation. Even before that peoples from Ireland settles in Western Scotland (which is why Gaelic is spoken there). After the Roman Empire Irish people even settled in Wales, around the same time of St Patrick, who was born in Britain, so it clear there has been mixing both ways for millennia, but do these things go back that far?
Just stumbled onto your videos, its interesting. In Ireland it is quite hard to trace your family tree further than 1800 - 1850s this is due to records being destroyed due to battles and fires, the anglicisation of peoples names and people not knowing how to read or write and also due to poverty. It would be really interesting to see you would approach tracing Irish ancestry. I recently done a DNA test with my heritage, I've always thought I had some form of Iberian due to my families dark complexation but not one drop, I had 89.4% Irish, Scottish, Welsh, 7.8% Scandinavian and 2.8% west Asian. The west Asian was a surprise, I can account for the Scandinavians due to the Vikings but west Asian I'm lost
You should contact these people and do an interview with them and ask about the newest versions and their family connections etc. It would be a super interesting update. I am sure that many of these people would be interested in doing this.
I would assume a lot of people sending him requests with links attached on his social media accounts. The more people that request it the more likely he is to see it tho it has his name on it so he is bound to see it sooner or later
I did both AncestryDNA and 23&me several years ago and have watched the percentages change over the years. I’d love to have you look at how both tests’ results compare and differ.
I just realized I am more Irish then JackSepticeye, though we know my grandpappy came over from Irland on a freaking boat as a kidlet. Though my ancestry didn't throw any shockers, though my brothers did. He's is my full brother, and somehow he struck up 3%Mongolian ( I show none).
If you weren't born in Ireland/grew up in Ireland you're not irish. You can be born to African parents in Ireland and grow up there and you'll always be more irish than anyone who's grandparent were irish.
@@RUARI-mi1ytYeah, but that really is the way people in Ireland think. If an American with 100% Irish DNA/ancestry and the paper trail to prove it, goes to Ireland and claims to be „Irish-American“, he’ll be laughed at and told he’s NO Irishman. He’s just an ordinary American, a Yank, no different than any other American. If the Black guy, whose parents immigrated to Ireland, working behind the car rental desk at the airport was born and raised in Ireland and speaks with an Irish accent, the Irish will all say, „He (the Black guy) IS Irish. You’re just a Yank.“
Most of the Iberian peninsula was Celtic, Galicia isn't a bastion of Celtic genetics by any means, if anything the Basque are the closest to the Irish in iberia, the Galician nationalists have simply hijacked Celtic culture to boost their regional identity.
@@Jordi_Llopis_i_Torregrosa96 there is article Irish times mentioned Galicia and Basque are closest relatives to the Irish. In fact I already sent a link to the podcaster in this 🧵. I tried to copy and paste in here but RUclips del_ted it.
Genealogy is so interesting and fascinating, I have never done a DNA test, and my family from both sides had lived here in Sonora, Mexico al least for 300 years, but I always believed that my ancestors came from Spain and that's it, about a decade ago I found out that from my mother's side, one of my grandfather's surnames (we use 2 surnames here in Mexico the first of the father and the second of the mother) from his mother side was Galaz, and that was not an actual Spanish surname although it is an old surname well known in Spain since the Middle Ages and also have a coat of arms for their service as Knights of the crown before Spain was unified, but It is actually a "loose translation" of the Irish surname Gallaher or Gallahad and refers directy to the Celtic rune Ha-Galaz (the hidden one), in Spain it was common to translate Sir Gallahad as Sir Galaz in the Legend of King Arthur. Also, one of my younger brother's daughters had a DNA test recently and it turned out to be mostly Spanish, Irish and French ancestors. My paternal surname is Hurtado that means "stolen" and according to Spanish genealogists, the first historical character to use that surname in Spain and later in Portugal was Alfonso Hurtado (Furtado in ancient Spanish) the bastard son of Queen Urraca I León (1081- 1126) the Fearless, the eldest daughter of King Alfonso VI and Queen Constance of Burgundy ( France), Urraca I was the first European queen to rule by herself without a king , but despite being the son of the queen Fernando did not inherit the titles of nobility or surnames that corresponded to him from any of his parents, that is, "they were stolen" from him although he was given others as compensation and also have a coat of arms, he used to sign as "Ferdinandus Furtado, frater Imperatoris" ( Fernando Hurtado brother of the "Emperor") The Emperor was how his older brother the king Alfonso VII succesor of their mother was known. My maternal surname is Dávila and it also has a coat of arms, Dávila is the old contraction of 2 words that are "De Ávila" (D´Avila) which means "from Avila" a main city in Spain, and were also Knights at the service of the crown.
When I first did mine years ago,the results were way more just the Great Britan with a tiny percentage Scottish and no Irish after the last update in 2020 I have 51% English/Northwestern Europe,then 21% Scottish ,and 7% Irish.
The people of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales have been mixing for hundreds if not thousands of years, I can't imagine there being much of a difference between the 4 nations to be honest. I'm personally 96% British and Irish, with living relatives in all 4 of the these countries. Interesting though!
I read that geneticists have found there's very little difference between all the peoples of the British Isles. The English have more Germanic ancestry but the majority of their DNA is the same as the Irish, Scottish or Welsh.
Jeff Morse That’s true, you have large parts of southern English who have similar DNA as parts of Northern Germany and parts of France, Northern English have more Celtic DNA It’s pretty much a big mixing bowl.
Hi GeneaVlogger! wich you reckon it is the best way to find out my Basque ancestry? My family has been living in the same area since the 8th c.Thanks heaps.
I was sure Jack would be super Irish! I got 95% Ulster (I was born in Derry)! The other 5% was Mayo/Sligo!!! 100% Irish So mental!!! Was sure I'd have some British No lie my pasty ginger a*se was shocked!!! 🇮🇪
Before Video: The part Ireland he's from closer to East part Ireland more under English control there is alot of Anglo-Irish people.(scandanvians possibly because of vikings and or Norman's) Edit Yeah that makes sense. Some friend easier form to know they common names ( like Kennedy, Murphy, but my friends surname is Scottish, my other friends Welsh their family has been all raised Ireland be considered Irish etc
My grandmother is 2nd generation (Irish) born in Boston on her maternal side. Her paternal side from a Canadian Irish community that was in Canada for multiple generations. She is 96% Irish and 4% Scottish. The matches in Ireland have been very helpful in narrowing down specific locations. Over here many of our documents just say where born= Ireland. Very vague indeed. I have found Catholic church records but they are very bad digital copies written in very scrolly cursive, and to top it all off they are in Latin. So the first names are off slightly. Like Joannus or Petraus (or something like that) for John and Peter.
I wish papertrail was something easier to do in my country (Brazil). So hard to find even my parents documents (they don't have their birth certificate, it, was lost when they migrated to another state when they were kids), imagine my graparents and so on... A lot of people were not even registraded here, or were registraded years after they were born or in another city. Is it easier in your country?
I love your vidoes, both of my parents are from scotland with irish roots and my results are 52% Scotland, 43% Ireland, 3% Sweden and 2% England and Northwestern Europe! My mums results were 59% Scotland and 41% Ireland!
The Spanish have a history with western Ireland. People think this is from the shipwreck of 1,000 Spaniards on Irish shores in the 1500s but they mostly all returned to spain. Perhaps a few stayed and got into the gene pool, but not enough for the widespread Spanish blood. It’s actually from very very far back when Celtic tribes in Basque Country and Andalusia emigrated and mixed with Celts in West Ireland. Many Irish people from the western islands have Spanish ancestry and dark features and are sometimes called “Black Irish”.
I've seen quite a few UK folks getting European ancestry appearing which would make complete sense considering the UK was once connected to the European mainland and it's believed the Celtic Pagan tribes of the ancient UK islands migrated from Europe (and then you have the Roman and Nordic invasions). I think since then the genetics of European nations have diversified more than that of the UK and so ours can now be seen as a more distinct grouping.
Trace results most likely means the ancestor lived more than 8 generations ago. I am doing Portuguese Genealogy in Madeira with the ABM Database and have gone back to the discovery of Madeira in the 1400's. I also found out that many of them were Sephardic Jews. Back then there were Black slaves, freed slaves and Muslim slaves living there too.
I've done multiple commercial dna tests, and the mix of my results is really amusing. About the only thing I can swear to is that I very likely inherited more of my dad's DNA than she who bore me.
Celtic people that settled in Ireland and scotland migrated from Iberian peninsula, its known in history, as the celts were one of earliest inhabitants of uk Also portugal and spain used have allot war and trade over fishing with the English and Irish.
My ancestry is "White Southern American". Traced it back to them stepping off the boat in Virginia in the late 1600s. Ancestry DNA says I'm 87% British and Irish plus 10% Scandinavian (probably Viking settlers there). Have bit of Native American (2%) and African (1%), but its pretty remarkable how little my family's ethnicity has change after over three centuries in North America.
Could it be that he just has a lot of Celtic ancestry and that it why Spain is a low confidence region? I know the celts used to be all over Europe but eventually were pushed to the west by other peoples. Most celtic populations went to the British Isles but some were also pushed to Spain.
Great Britain includes Scotland where there is a lot DNA interaction with Ireland. Britain would be more specific to England and Wales. I suspect Scotland would be a larger part of the great Britain part which pushes up the 62percent Irish DNA McLaughlin (not Mac which is Scottish) is a surname dating back to when Irish people took surnames Vikings took surnames beginning with MC Later surnames also had MC attached but McLaughlin is definitely Norse dating back to when Irish people took surnames beginning with O' .
Also allot of pirates sailed sea, allot of them were from spain. Famously Jack Birdy the pirate where the movie Pirates Carribean was based on, who famously converted to Islam, helped Muslims and jews escape from persecution in Spain and Spainish Enquisitions. He was abit cooky but a hero.
There is a mitochondrial DNA contribution from the founder effect of Juan Zuria's (Zuria is the Basque word for their surname "White") mother from Irish/Gaelic/Scotts (and others?) who fled around the time the house of Alba (Scottish kings, who had the surname which means "White" and shares the base word in Latin for "alpine" or "Albus," etc.). The Scottish house of Alba was consolidated through a large genocide by their own family as they sought to conslidate power and killed many of their own relatives a little before Juan Zuria's refugee mother and her father appear in Basque country to serve as their first roaylty. Eventually, 'local' royalty throughout the Roman world which was backed by the Romans under their "farm out taxes and local government" system, was forced to fend for itself when the centralized government in Rome collapsed forcing all local royalty (previously supported by the Romans) to come into it's own, though with strong ties that remained from the previous centralized government. This is deep history. The records or Juan Zuria coming from "Irish" origin groups ethnicities from the area together but was written at a much later date, but referred to (likely) Gaelic peoples which included the Scotts and Irish in one group, not yet as commonly intermarried as much with the Picts (from what I can tell, though this did happen later).
Western continental Europe in Ireland is not so strange as they also partook in the plantation. The origin of the surname "Fleming" can be traced back to such migration from Flanders (Vlaming) for example. Spain too wouldn't be too strange as there has been a lot of contact between Ireland and Spain as well through the centuries (think "Spanish Arch" in Galway)
My nephew got 2% Russian and Eastern Europe which we wondered if it was just noise...but his sister did her DNA and it came back 3% Russian and Eastern Europe so now we are wondering if perhaps it isn't noise. I have done mine as has my 90 year old mom, as she would be the most likely candidate as her ancestors came from what was then The Kingdom of Saxony.
im very puzzled about something maybe u could help. so one of my dna matches on 23andme is my great aunt (paternal grandmas sister) her 23andme results show 99% british irish with genetic communities being ireland, northern ireland and glasgow. yet i know for a fact my grandma was at least a quarter german, i found a few people to confirm that, so how is it she didnt any german in her results
When he got the Iberian part of his DnA Could be from the Spanish Armada Spanish sailors were shipwreck on the North West of Ireland McGlaughlin name Is Donegal were the Spanish were shipwrecked , hence Spanish trace
Can you review my true ancestry, where you get results compared with archaeological finds in their database, I'm super curious but not insane enough to upload my DNA there
The other area of Europe a lot of Irish people get some DNA from is Spain. That is because, while assisting the Irish in their fight against British oppression in the 1600 and 1700s, a lot of Spanish settled in Ireland on the cost, a lot of the time in Galway, Mayo and Donegal and their genes were added to the pool as a result. Also, FYI, "British Isles" Is not an official term and is not acknowledged by Ireland, its government and interestingly, this is entirely accepted and respected by the British government. I know a lot of uneducated British and unknowing Americans call these islands "The British Isles" But it's =a colonial and unwelcome term, not an official one :)
Actually the trace Iberian is no surprise considering the Celt-Iberian roots of the Irish and much of the British. The ancient "Iberian" or "Celt-Iberian" region spread from Mauritania to Norway. The Irish form of the Celtic language supposedly originated in northern Spain and was brought to Ireland by the last pre-Christian wave of settlers.
I find these fascinating, maybe it's a Portuguese thing but I got to meet almost everyone all the way back to my great-grandparents (all Portuguese) and I know stories about some of my great great grandparents (all the ones I know Portuguese too lmao) and being all my aunts and uncles Portuguese as well with some now living in America and some French/Portuguese cousins I always wondered if I'd just come up as Iberian in one of these xD although I know when it comes to History Iberians do have a lot of mixing but every single one of my direct known relatives just seems to be Portuguese xD
He's pretty Irish, the British Isles with Norman invasions and the occasional iberian salor getting shipwrecked on the west coast of Ireland by Atlantic storms.
I experience that feeling of fellowship, as half of my family is from Westmeath. Sadly, I don't have enough money to throw at 24-And-Me et-al. All Irish people have Iberian ancestry, as the Gaels come from the Basque region and there was an immigration wave of general Spanish people in ancient times. Many Irish have Iberian brow morphology, and most have dark - no, not red - hair.
Iberian would make sense as a lot of Iberian people would have settled in Ireland a long time ago too, like the Scandinavian. I’m not sure of the exact time era however.
I would love to do one of these because I really don't have any family history my grandmother came to Australia on her own from Yugoslavia during wartime and my grandparents were both on the other side with both Irish and that's all I know and I have no family left... I don't even know most of my real surnames to do a family tree
There is a strong Spanish-Irish historic link dating back to the time of the Armada. When the Spanish Armada were swept of course due to bad weather, they sailed around Britain (up the East Coast and around Scotland) and many ships ended up along the West and South-West coast of Ireland, where many Spaniards disembarked and remained. There is plenty of evidence of this in surnames like Cooke (with an 'e'), etc., do check it out, it's fascinating.
I'd like to ask, my ancestry.com says I'm basically 100% Scottish without any trace results but when I upload the same file to myheritage, it shows almost 10% eastern Europe and another 10 Scandinavian. I know they have different algorithms but it seems like a big jump
I'd trust ancestry over myheritage, myheritage has given my family members ridiculous results while ancestry has been very accurate to my own research and matches closely with other sites like 23andme.
Ancestry I think is probably more reliable. They have a bigger pool of people who have tested, and because they also do the paper trail aspect they have access to more information.
The Spanish had history in Ireland, though that was in the 1600’s. I lived in Kinsale, Co Cork and it’s part of their history ( a couple of pubs where even named after it, ”The Spaniard” and ”1601” being two of them ). If they left any genes behind is another story. It was a military thing ( Spain being at War with England and an Irish uprising at the same time ). Dont know if the 1600’s aplies here though?
I have not done dna test, just family trees. I know that my polish family left Poland and came to New Zealand in 1883, also I have a french family tree on my fathers mums side going back to 1300s. Also I know different family members and surnames, which came from Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany. Would be interesting to see how much french DNA I get as I’m a splitting image of my paternal grandma. Edit: my french side is very interesting as they left France during the French Revolution and migrated to Germany, then sometime late 1880s some of them left Germany to come to New Zealand.
I’ve always wanted to get my own ancestry done but i always end up finding the kits that are like $30-50 and I can’t afford that. My moms side is referred to as “Heinz 57” it’s easier for us to say what we know is in our family rather than what we don’t have or might have but are unsure of. We have so many “branching family” I guess. Idk what to call it. Basically, we have several surnames throughout our family that come from different regions, different countries but I have no idea which came from where. I know my grandfather on my mind side and my great grandmother on my dads side but not much more than their names.
I plan to once the Family Tree DNA part is ready. They have enabled a transfer to YFull through the Nebula website and access to a few YFull features for free, but it looks like you would still have to go to the YFull website - nebula.org/blog/yfull-tutorial/
I just did a haplogroup test. Is it pretty typical not to get a detailed subclade? I got R1b as expected based on just looking up famous people I already knew were cousins (President Franklin Pierce and others), but I suppose I was under the impression I'd get specific subclade info. Are there tests for these?
Interesting mine was similar but since the update I’m now 100% british which matches with my family tree. Always take the smaller amounts with a pinch of salt.
Ireland is a very hard place to trace your family tree after a certain point as the records where burnt in the civil war
Same with eastern europe, commies did like to erase archives.
My husband's family records burned. I guess they burned the church down.
The American Civil War?
@@PackHunter117 😭😭 there are more civil wars than just the American one
@@DiwenSu They seriously asked that 😂
I think the reason they dont get into possible genetic matches in their videos is that they dont want people to suddenly get swarmed by strangers looking for Jack's/Pew's relatives.

Ireland and the Iberian also have shared history. So Iberian DNA with Irish people is common and not always so suprising!
Same in England. I believe it's from the pre-celtic beaker culture that came to the islands before the English Channel and Irish Sea existed.

He does have that interesting red patch in England, though.....
Black Irish is a term that describes a Irish person with suspected Spanish ancestry from the 1500s. It was a common term used to describe an Irish person with dark hair and eyes.
lmao how weird but interesting
Yes I remember reading that as a teenager, that's what I thought about as soon as he said Iberian peninsula
It's a theory that has been found false.
My mother was an Irish immigrant to Canada.
Mum's family was from Galway in the west of Ireland.

I’m Welsh (British). My results were 45% Scots/Irish, 39% Welsh and 16% English. My Grandmother came from Belfast, but was surprised at the 45% in me. In the British Isles we’re all mixed up, probably.
I've been binging your videos today and I really love them, thank you for clarifying all the misconceptions about these tests!
I would really like to both do some DNA test and some genealogy... But honestly a DNA test wouldn't be that interesting for me since I'm French and I know 7/8 great grandparents were born in France from parents born in France. So though I'd be curious about the other 1/8 (we are fairly sure she was Spanish) these tests will just tell me French & German, and I want more details haha, so really the genealogy is what I'm really after I guess !
My maternal grandmother's relatives are super into genealogy, so she has that whole tree tracing back to the 18-19th century. Would love to do that for the rest of my family one day 😊 anyway thanks again for your work!
The admixture results from the DNA test likely wouldn't be helpful but they might be helpful in expanding your family tree through genetic matches.
@@GeneaVlogger That is true, you do point that out in your video often! What saddens me a bit is that there aren't many French people at all taking those tests because they're technically illegal in France 😂 so might be cool to find relatives abroad if I have any, but the population of relatives in France would most likely very limited. Still, could be very interesting! Thank you!
@7:35 - Oh please 4% Japan. Ah that would be so cool. I can live out my ninja ancestry
JackSepticeye is too precious 😂
Well, there are some stories about Galizians going to Ireland centuries ago XD I was really expecting something like this hahahaha
I did this test back in 2016. I also had some Spanish/Portuguese trace results. Since then Ancestry has done two updates, for my tree, and the Spanish/Portuguese trace has been dropped.
Right!? My grandparents are literally from Spain for generations, my other grandparents are from Mexico and somehow while I have clear markers for those regions I’m suddenly Scandinavian.... confused face.
I'll tell you what the Iberian signal is about because an older company that traced my y chromosome ( British isles) years ago told me that I also share ancestry with the Iberian populations. They tell most people who trace to Western Europe that. It means that people in Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland share the y chromosome R1b that is also shared with the Basque population between Spain and France. It doesn't mean that those of us from the Isles necessarily have ancestry in 'Spain'..It appears to mean that the majority of people, particularly men from the British isles and a large section of Western and central Europe, share the R1b y chromosome, which directly parrallels the Atlantic Modal Haplotype, which is the most common R1b signature in western Europe, including Ireland. Our connection to the Iberian peninsula largely dates back to when our particular paternal lineage entered western Europe. Probably over 6 thousand years ago or so.
I’m so curious of mine because my grandma doesn’t know her biological father they found out when her mother was passing and my dad’s grandfather is a total mystery as he died when my grandfather was 7 I’ve traced some branches to 1700s immigrated from Wales, Ireland, England, Netherlands, and France
Jack. What a handsome specimen!❤️
11:35 I think he just has ancestry in Galicia due to Celtic ancestry
About a decade ago when National Geographic was sequencing genomes my brother looked into our paternal migration line. I am excited to do my test to find out what else is going on and paint a bigger picture of our own ancestry.
Being from Ulster may explain the British connection, English and Scottish people settled in Ulster during the Plantation. Even before that peoples from Ireland settles in Western Scotland (which is why Gaelic is spoken there). After the Roman Empire Irish people even settled in Wales, around the same time of St Patrick, who was born in Britain, so it clear there has been mixing both ways for millennia, but do these things go back that far?
Just stumbled onto your videos, its interesting. In Ireland it is quite hard to trace your family tree further than 1800 - 1850s this is due to records being destroyed due to battles and fires, the anglicisation of peoples names and people not knowing how to read or write and also due to poverty. It would be really interesting to see you would approach tracing Irish ancestry.
I recently done a DNA test with my heritage, I've always thought I had some form of Iberian due to my families dark complexation but not one drop, I had 89.4% Irish, Scottish, Welsh, 7.8% Scandinavian and 2.8% west Asian. The west Asian was a surprise, I can account for the Scandinavians due to the Vikings but west Asian I'm lost
You should contact these people and do an interview with them and ask about the newest versions and their family connections etc. It would be a super interesting update. I am sure that many of these people would be interested in doing this.
Not gonna lie i wanna see you and Séan build a family tree
On my paternal grandfather's mother's dad's side of my family, there's an ancestor who came from Ulster.
quick how can we get jack to see this would be so cool 😎
I would assume a lot of people sending him requests with links attached on his social media accounts. The more people that request it the more likely he is to see it tho it has his name on it so he is bound to see it sooner or later
Go to his subreddit and post it on there
Historically celts invaded British isles from Iberian peninsula passing Biscay bay
I did both AncestryDNA and 23&me several years ago and have watched the percentages change over the years. I’d love to have you look at how both tests’ results compare and differ.
Wow.. Ancestry map from back in the days. Cool
I would love to see you do a collab with Jack!!!
Lots of Americans claim Irish decent when they find out their great Grandfather had an Irish setter dog.
I think that the ethnicity estimates have changed a couple of times since 2017.
You should react to a Maltese Dna test as those are really interesting and they have a very cool history
Most likely iitalian Greek and Balkan .thensome west Asian levntine mesopotamian and north African 😊 a splash of Arab and iberian too
I just realized I am more Irish then JackSepticeye, though we know my grandpappy came over from Irland on a freaking boat as a kidlet. Though my ancestry didn't throw any shockers, though my brothers did. He's is my full brother, and somehow he struck up 3%Mongolian ( I show none).
Than* but that's nice and that happens... or maybe some past life factoring in :p
If you weren't born in Ireland/grew up in Ireland you're not irish. You can be born to African parents in Ireland and grow up there and you'll always be more irish than anyone who's grandparent were irish.
@@kegsmelv117 utter bs
@@RUARI-mi1ytYeah, but that really is the way people in Ireland think. If an American with 100% Irish DNA/ancestry and the paper trail to prove it, goes to Ireland and claims to be „Irish-American“, he’ll be laughed at and told he’s NO Irishman. He’s just an ordinary American, a Yank, no different than any other American. If the Black guy, whose parents immigrated to Ireland, working behind the car rental desk at the airport was born and raised in Ireland and speaks with an Irish accent, the Irish will all say, „He (the Black guy) IS Irish. You’re just a Yank.“
I always wondered if these sites include Roman, Norman and Saxon dna in British dna? Or can it differentiate?
I think the Iberian part is from Galicia area because we have celtic culture too and our sailors traded with Ireland too
Most of the Iberian peninsula was Celtic, Galicia isn't a bastion of Celtic genetics by any means, if anything the Basque are the closest to the Irish in iberia, the Galician nationalists have simply hijacked Celtic culture to boost their regional identity.
@@Jordi_Llopis_i_Torregrosa96In my family we do have Celtic last name. Lol
@@Jordi_Llopis_i_Torregrosa96 you may wanna visit Anton museum in the Coruña, you will find Celtic-Iberian artifacts.
@@Jordi_Llopis_i_Torregrosa96 there is article Irish times mentioned Galicia and Basque are closest relatives to the Irish. In fact I already sent a link to the podcaster in this 🧵. I tried to copy and paste in here but RUclips del_ted it.
I believe it was proved that the original settlers in Ireland travelled from the northern Iberian peninsula at the end of the ice age.
Have you ever thought about reacting to some episodes of Finding Your Roots. Some of those results were shockingly surprising.
Genealogy is so interesting and fascinating, I have never done a DNA test, and my family from both sides had lived here in Sonora, Mexico al least for 300 years, but I always believed that my ancestors came from Spain and that's it, about a decade ago I found out that from my mother's side, one of my grandfather's surnames (we use 2 surnames here in Mexico the first of the father and the second of the mother) from his mother side was Galaz, and that was not an actual Spanish surname although it is an old surname well known in Spain since the Middle Ages and also have a coat of arms for their service as Knights of the crown before Spain was unified, but It is actually a "loose translation" of the Irish surname Gallaher or Gallahad and refers directy to the Celtic rune Ha-Galaz (the hidden one), in Spain it was common to translate Sir Gallahad as Sir Galaz in the Legend of King Arthur. Also, one of my younger brother's daughters had a DNA test recently and it turned out to be mostly Spanish, Irish and French ancestors. My paternal surname is Hurtado that means "stolen" and according to Spanish genealogists, the first historical character to use that surname in Spain and later in Portugal was Alfonso Hurtado (Furtado in ancient Spanish) the bastard son of Queen Urraca I León (1081- 1126) the Fearless, the eldest daughter of King Alfonso VI and Queen Constance of Burgundy ( France), Urraca I was the first European queen to rule by herself without a king , but despite being the son of the queen Fernando did not inherit the titles of nobility or surnames that corresponded to him from any of his parents, that is, "they were stolen" from him although he was given others as compensation and also have a coat of arms, he used to sign as "Ferdinandus Furtado, frater Imperatoris" ( Fernando Hurtado brother of the "Emperor") The Emperor was how his older brother the king Alfonso VII succesor of their mother was known. My maternal surname is Dávila and it also has a coat of arms, Dávila is the old contraction of 2 words that are "De Ávila" (D´Avila) which means "from Avila" a main city in Spain, and were also Knights at the service of the crown.
When I first did mine years ago,the results were way more just the Great Britan with a tiny percentage Scottish and no Irish after the last update in 2020 I have 51% English/Northwestern Europe,then 21% Scottish ,and 7% Irish.
The people of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales have been mixing for hundreds if not thousands of years, I can't imagine there being much of a difference between the 4 nations to be honest. I'm personally 96% British and Irish, with living relatives in all 4 of the these countries. Interesting though!
I read that geneticists have found there's very little difference between all the peoples of the British Isles. The English have more Germanic ancestry but the majority of their DNA is the same as the Irish, Scottish or Welsh.
Jeff Morse That’s true, you have large parts of southern English who have similar DNA as parts of Northern Germany and parts of France, Northern English have more Celtic DNA
It’s pretty much a big mixing bowl.
Hi GeneaVlogger! wich you reckon it is the best way to find out my Basque ancestry? My family has been living in the same area since the 8th c.Thanks heaps.
I was sure Jack would be super Irish! I got 95% Ulster (I was born in Derry)! The other 5% was Mayo/Sligo!!! 100% Irish So mental!!! Was sure I'd have some British No lie my pasty ginger a*se was shocked!!! 🇮🇪
I'd say your family tree is a stick
😅 a
Before Video: The part Ireland he's from closer to East part Ireland more under English control there is alot of Anglo-Irish people.(scandanvians possibly because of vikings and or Norman's)
Edit Yeah that makes sense.
Some friend easier form to know they common names ( like Kennedy, Murphy, but my friends surname is Scottish, my other friends Welsh their family has been all raised Ireland be considered Irish etc
The earliest known settlers in Ireland are believed to have come from what is now Spain
My grandmother is 2nd generation (Irish) born in Boston on her maternal side. Her paternal side from a Canadian Irish community that was in Canada for multiple generations. She is 96% Irish and 4% Scottish. The matches in Ireland have been very helpful in narrowing down specific locations. Over here many of our documents just say where born= Ireland. Very vague indeed. I have found Catholic church records but they are very bad digital copies written in very scrolly cursive, and to top it all off they are in Latin. So the first names are off slightly. Like Joannus or Petraus (or something like that) for John and Peter.
I wish papertrail was something easier to do in my country (Brazil). So hard to find even my parents documents (they don't have their birth certificate, it, was lost when they migrated to another state when they were kids), imagine my graparents and so on... A lot of people were not even registraded here, or were registraded years after they were born or in another city.
Is it easier in your country?
I love your vidoes, both of my parents are from scotland with irish roots and my results are 52% Scotland, 43% Ireland, 3% Sweden and 2% England and Northwestern Europe! My mums results were 59% Scotland and 41% Ireland!
The Spanish have a history with western Ireland. People think this is from the shipwreck of 1,000 Spaniards on Irish shores in the 1500s but they mostly all returned to spain. Perhaps a few stayed and got into the gene pool, but not enough for the widespread Spanish blood. It’s actually from very very far back when Celtic tribes in Basque Country and Andalusia emigrated and mixed with Celts in West Ireland. Many Irish people from the western islands have Spanish ancestry and dark features and are sometimes called “Black Irish”.
I've seen quite a few UK folks getting European ancestry appearing which would make complete sense considering the UK was once connected to the European mainland and it's believed the Celtic Pagan tribes of the ancient UK islands migrated from Europe (and then you have the Roman and Nordic invasions). I think since then the genetics of European nations have diversified more than that of the UK and so ours can now be seen as a more distinct grouping.
I've done my family tree and Ancestry DNA test. They agreed that I lack diversity.
Trace results most likely means the ancestor lived more than 8 generations ago. I am doing Portuguese Genealogy in Madeira with the ABM Database and have gone back to the discovery of Madeira in the 1400's. I also found out that many of them were Sephardic Jews. Back then there were Black slaves, freed slaves and Muslim slaves living there too.
I've done multiple commercial dna tests, and the mix of my results is really amusing. About the only thing I can swear to is that I very likely inherited more of my dad's DNA than she who bore me.
That's not how genetics works.
Ther e was alot of Contact between Ireland and the Iberian peninsula over the centuries, especially to the western ports
Celtic people that settled in Ireland and scotland migrated from Iberian peninsula, its known in history, as the celts were one of earliest inhabitants of uk
Also portugal and spain used have allot war and trade over fishing with the English and Irish.
My ancestry is "White Southern American". Traced it back to them stepping off the boat in Virginia in the late 1600s. Ancestry DNA says I'm 87% British and Irish plus 10% Scandinavian (probably Viking settlers there). Have bit of Native American (2%) and African (1%), but its pretty remarkable how little my family's ethnicity has change after over three centuries in North America.
Could it be that he just has a lot of Celtic ancestry and that it why Spain is a low confidence region? I know the celts used to be all over Europe but eventually were pushed to the west by other peoples. Most celtic populations went to the British Isles but some were also pushed to Spain.
Great Britain includes Scotland where there is a lot DNA interaction with Ireland. Britain would be more specific to England and Wales. I suspect Scotland would be a larger part of the great Britain part which pushes up the 62percent Irish DNA
McLaughlin (not Mac which is Scottish) is a surname dating back to when Irish people took surnames
Vikings took surnames beginning with MC
Later surnames also had MC attached but McLaughlin is definitely Norse dating back to when Irish people took surnames beginning with O' .
Also allot of pirates sailed sea, allot of them were from spain. Famously Jack Birdy the pirate where the movie Pirates Carribean was based on, who famously converted to Islam, helped Muslims and jews escape from persecution in Spain and Spainish Enquisitions. He was abit cooky but a hero.
I know that jack septic eye had a father that had him at a late age, so that might be why he doesn't know a lot of his ancestors.
There is a mitochondrial DNA contribution from the founder effect of Juan Zuria's (Zuria is the Basque word for their surname "White") mother from Irish/Gaelic/Scotts (and others?) who fled around the time the house of Alba (Scottish kings, who had the surname which means "White" and shares the base word in Latin for "alpine" or "Albus," etc.). The Scottish house of Alba was consolidated through a large genocide by their own family as they sought to conslidate power and killed many of their own relatives a little before Juan Zuria's refugee mother and her father appear in Basque country to serve as their first roaylty. Eventually, 'local' royalty throughout the Roman world which was backed by the Romans under their "farm out taxes and local government" system, was forced to fend for itself when the centralized government in Rome collapsed forcing all local royalty (previously supported by the Romans) to come into it's own, though with strong ties that remained from the previous centralized government. This is deep history. The records or Juan Zuria coming from "Irish" origin groups ethnicities from the area together but was written at a much later date, but referred to (likely) Gaelic peoples which included the Scotts and Irish in one group, not yet as commonly intermarried as much with the Picts (from what I can tell, though this did happen later).
Western continental Europe in Ireland is not so strange as they also partook in the plantation. The origin of the surname "Fleming" can be traced back to such migration from Flanders (Vlaming) for example.
Spain too wouldn't be too strange as there has been a lot of contact between Ireland and Spain as well through the centuries (think "Spanish Arch" in Galway)
Basque blood is close to the Irish.. history and genealogy should be a combination that works together..
My nephew got 2% Russian and Eastern Europe which we wondered if it was just noise...but his sister did her DNA and it came back 3% Russian and Eastern Europe so now we are wondering if perhaps it isn't noise. I have done mine as has my 90 year old mom, as she would be the most likely candidate as her ancestors came from what was then The Kingdom of Saxony.
im very puzzled about something maybe u could help. so one of my dna matches on 23andme is my great aunt (paternal grandmas sister) her 23andme results show 99% british irish with genetic communities being ireland, northern ireland and glasgow. yet i know for a fact my grandma was at least a quarter german, i found a few people to confirm that, so how is it she didnt any german in her results
I'd wager the Iberian peninsula is triggering based on the Bosques that populate a northern region of Iberia.
Up to 1/3 of English people have Irish ancestry to various degrees. That’s 18 million people in England.
Same with Scotland. Large number of Irish settled there in the 1800s.
When he got the Iberian part of his DnA
Could be from the Spanish Armada Spanish sailors were shipwreck on the North West of Ireland McGlaughlin name Is Donegal were the Spanish were shipwrecked , hence Spanish trace
Can you review my true ancestry, where you get results compared with archaeological finds in their database, I'm super curious but not insane enough to upload my DNA there
The other area of Europe a lot of Irish people get some DNA from is Spain. That is because, while assisting the Irish in their fight against British oppression in the 1600 and 1700s, a lot of Spanish settled in Ireland on the cost, a lot of the time in Galway, Mayo and Donegal and their genes were added to the pool as a result.
Also, FYI, "British Isles" Is not an official term and is not acknowledged by Ireland, its government and interestingly, this is entirely accepted and respected by the British government. I know a lot of uneducated British and unknowing Americans call these islands "The British Isles" But it's =a colonial and unwelcome term, not an official one :)
Actually the trace Iberian is no surprise considering the Celt-Iberian roots of the Irish and much of the British. The ancient "Iberian" or "Celt-Iberian" region spread from Mauritania to Norway. The Irish form of the Celtic language supposedly originated in northern Spain and was brought to Ireland by the last pre-Christian wave of settlers.
I'm surprised he didn't have any Scottish being so close
I find these fascinating, maybe it's a Portuguese thing but I got to meet almost everyone all the way back to my great-grandparents (all Portuguese) and I know stories about some of my great great grandparents (all the ones I know Portuguese too lmao) and being all my aunts and uncles Portuguese as well with some now living in America and some French/Portuguese cousins I always wondered if I'd just come up as Iberian in one of these xD although I know when it comes to History Iberians do have a lot of mixing but every single one of my direct known relatives just seems to be Portuguese xD
...How do you hire a genealogist? xD
ruclips.net/video/6kWioIsPNrs/видео.html
He's pretty Irish, the British Isles with Norman invasions and the occasional iberian salor getting shipwrecked on the west coast of Ireland by Atlantic storms.
Myheritage said 11.6% Iberian so what grandparents would that come from? Thanks for the great videos 😊
thats so crazy i dont have any spanish dna on ancestry but in my tree i found 2 gg grandparents from portugal
I experience that feeling of fellowship, as half of my family is from Westmeath. Sadly, I don't have enough money to throw at 24-And-Me et-al. All Irish people have Iberian ancestry, as the Gaels come from the Basque region and there was an immigration wave of general Spanish people in ancient times. Many Irish have Iberian brow morphology, and most have dark - no, not red - hair.
Iberian would make sense as a lot of Iberian people would have settled in Ireland a long time ago too, like the Scandinavian. I’m not sure of the exact time era however.
I would love to do one of these because I really don't have any family history my grandmother came to Australia on her own from Yugoslavia during wartime and my grandparents were both on the other side with both Irish and that's all I know and I have no family left... I don't even know most of my real surnames to do a family tree
Irish from Middle east some Irish links to ironic people
@Searlait Loughlin if ur Irish than ur sametic race
Irish people originally came from the Middle East and North Africa
Every one did lol😂
There is a strong Spanish-Irish historic link dating back to the time of the Armada. When the Spanish Armada were swept of course due to bad weather, they sailed around Britain (up the East Coast and around Scotland) and many ships ended up along the West and South-West coast of Ireland, where many Spaniards disembarked and remained. There is plenty of evidence of this in surnames like Cooke (with an 'e'), etc., do check it out, it's fascinating.
I'd like to ask, my ancestry.com says I'm basically 100% Scottish without any trace results but when I upload the same file to myheritage, it shows almost 10% eastern Europe and another 10 Scandinavian. I know they have different algorithms but it seems like a big jump
I'd trust ancestry over myheritage, myheritage has given my family members ridiculous results while ancestry has been very accurate to my own research and matches closely with other sites like 23andme.
Ancestry I think is probably more reliable. They have a bigger pool of people who have tested, and because they also do the paper trail aspect they have access to more information.
Have you done anything or seen anything about the CR I genealogy test
The Spanish had history in Ireland, though that was in the 1600’s.
I lived in Kinsale, Co Cork and it’s part of their history ( a couple of pubs where even named after it, ”The Spaniard” and ”1601” being two of them ).
If they left any genes behind is another story. It was a military thing ( Spain being at War with England and an Irish uprising at the same time ).
Dont know if the 1600’s aplies here though?
I have not done dna test, just family trees. I know that my polish family left Poland and came to New Zealand in 1883, also I have a french family tree on my fathers mums side going back to 1300s. Also I know different family members and surnames, which came from Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany. Would be interesting to see how much french DNA I get as I’m a splitting image of my paternal grandma.
Edit: my french side is very interesting as they left France during the French Revolution and migrated to Germany, then sometime late 1880s some of them left Germany to come to New Zealand.
I’ve always wanted to get my own ancestry done but i always end up finding the kits that are like $30-50 and I can’t afford that. My moms side is referred to as “Heinz 57” it’s easier for us to say what we know is in our family rather than what we don’t have or might have but are unsure of. We have so many “branching family” I guess. Idk what to call it. Basically, we have several surnames throughout our family that come from different regions, different countries but I have no idea which came from where. I know my grandfather on my mind side and my great grandmother on my dads side but not much more than their names.
Can you do an update of the nebula genomics deep ancestry? do they even have it yet?
I plan to once the Family Tree DNA part is ready. They have enabled a transfer to YFull through the Nebula website and access to a few YFull features for free, but it looks like you would still have to go to the YFull website - nebula.org/blog/yfull-tutorial/

Are there tests for these?
Where did you test? For subclades you need to do one of the more advanced Y-DNA kits from FTDNA or a Whole Genome Sequence kit.

Interesting mine was similar but since the update I’m now 100% british which matches with my family tree. Always take the smaller amounts with a pinch of salt.
Cornwall, Wales, Scotland, France, Portugal & Spain all have Celtic populations.
Genetically the native English are considered mostly a Celtic people. So it's probably also difficult to tell them apart in the first place.
