That's genuinely interesting, had always assumed you were of Indian heritage like most people probably did. Thanks for sharing with us, not that it was any of our business! Fascinating look at our history as a country too
The DNA test just proves most Scots are Indian.
I’m of Indian heritage (North Indian Punjabi) and have exactly the same colouring as her.
My wife took a DNA test. She always thought her family was German, but the DNA said she's Scandanavian. Which isn't really surprising - the Scandanavians are Germanic people, and the countries are all close together geographically. Her family did indeed immigrate from Germany, but they come from a part of northern Germany where a lot of the people are of Danish ethnicity. Denmark shares a border with Germany.
That's why he said Indian bcuz she mixed when her grand father migrated and mixed but north indian have european DNA way back already without even migration. @@ninagill1407
I've thought about this many times and this video confirms it, you'd make an amazing teacher. I don't know what your non youtube job is, but god you are so well spoken and explain things so clearly you're a born teacher if you don't happen to be one already.
How? She doesn't TEACH anything,she reports...She'd make a good journalist and reporter because of the research she does and presenting it.
*slight curtain pullback*
She and her husband are both teachers 🐢
@@sadetwizelvewhut. So you don't understand what reporting is Reporting involved current events. Talking about the past, reporting if you'd even like to use the word, is teaching.
Writing a script for (or having your script written for you for) your entire class word for word everyday seems like a lot more work than doing occasional videos.
Lol, I love the phrase "non-RUclips job" 😂
When I look at you I see the Greek.
Mirina Sirtis is EXACTLY what I thought. And you sound like her too.
Lady decade is lady decade. Her beauty, feet and games are all that matters.
I agree lol
and her colour. everything is better in colour ;-)
Her feet, lol! 😆
You're such a f simp.
Lmfao good one 😂
Dhalsim’s theme. Too good!
So can she breathe fire then? 😉
"You're all German, really."
Me:
I didn’t think I’d watch this and love every second of it but here we are on my third watch and I’m literally entranced and entertained by your genetic history. PLEASE keep just switching it up with these videos, this one was a cool one to watch
I always love hearing about geneaology and the differences/simularities between all peoples. Being able to fill in blanks to our personal histories is fadcinating.
People may not know this but in Sri Lanka, there is a ancient method to determine your heritage. There are specific parts of the sole of you feet that reveals where you are from. If you'll be so kind to show us you feet we can determine for sure what makes you so special. 🧐

😂😂😂😂
hahahahahahah AMAZING, hats off to you :)
Was in tears trying to read this comment out to my partner, well done 😅
Very rarely does a comment make me laugh, or even get a smirk out of me. You, kind fellow, made me snort. Thank you
Ancestry DNA often has trouble seeing differences in ethinicities in the British Isles because they are all so closely related. You may see this change in future updates. For example, my nephew kept coming back with very high rates of Scottish but no English. Even though his father has a ton of English. Later it was updated and came back with a high degree of English as well.
Unless it's done professionally its just nonsense. All these websites are a waste of time.
@@54356776It's not. It's quite accurate.
That's the key, as more people try their service, the library grows and the results become more fine tuned.
Misattributed paternity is an extremely common thing and has been for centuries.
@@rymic72 No he has like 25% DNA in common with me.
I'm loving these non-gaming videos, too! Your essay prowess and editing is a great fit for just about any topic. Thanks for sharing a bit of your story!
She's going red pill
There's the odd inaccuracy though, the Anglo-Saxons (I'm as close to an Angle as you'll ever find) were 4 tribes just the 2 largest were the Angles and Saxons. The 3rd largest were the Jutes who mostly settled in the region named after them (Jutland). I've forgotten who the 4th were. Next and this is a common error made to simplify the subject, no one came from Germany as it didn't exist until the 19th century, that whole region was part of the Danelaw, in fact it was considered to be Denmark itself. The Danelaw spread across continental north western Europe except Scandinavia and controlled all the islands of the north Atlantic up to and including Greenland, the only place back then that escaped the Danelaw was British Isles where the Anglo-Saxons eventually defeated the Danish invasion. Didn't last though, they were finished off by a bunch of French speaking Norwegians from Normandy.
A friend of mine had a DNA test. Said she was 0.2% native American. She went out and bought every dream catcher and "faux fur" animal pelt she could find.
Thing was, she came from a mining town in the north of England. Like one of those towns where it's so rare for someone to leave, that the whole town comes out to see them off.
I've seen stuff like this. I have a hypothesis I'm not educated enough in genealogy to make, but make anyway. I think stuff like that happens for ethnic groups that testing company doesn't have enough info on. I remember seeing a video of Middle Eastern people taking a DNA test, but the test they took was primarily researched for European Jews, so nearly all got a small percent Jewish, when it seems more likely that's just Middle Eastern DNA common in European Jews because of their Middle East ancestry.
So in your friend's case, I think it's more likely a bunch of English people from her area went to America early on and their DNA became common enough in Native Americans to be assumed Native than an Indigenous American great-great-grandmother.
@@TheBusyJane My dad is black-Amerindian with a Jewish Portuguese maraner last name, and my mom is Volga German-Dutch with some Nenet somewhere.
Whatever surprise the test has for me, I will believe it. I do wonder how much of each (white, black, Asian, Indian, latino, jew, slav) it will show.
One American or Canadian a few generations back could account for it.
@@TheBusyJane
Seeing as Islam grew out of Judaism is it that surprising? Ethiopians are also derived from Jewish tribes that migrated there in Biblical times which recently following extensive DNA studies led to them being fully accepted as a Semitic tribe by Israel and Jewish faith leaders. Fun fact: The Qur'an was compiled by the Jews of Medina after Mohammed's death, their aim was to record his teachings for posterity as he himself was illiterate so wrote nothing down.
@@TheBusyJane
As the Vikings colonised parts of North America I think it's more likely the interchange of genetics between modern northern Europeans most likely derives from them. You can't really separate the Nors, or any of the Germanic tribes due to constant migration, the first culture that became a unified culture of all Britain were the Orcadians that arrived on Orkney from Scandinavia before colonising the mainland, they were the people that built the stone circles and other monolithic structures the oldest of which are on Orkney, they also invented ball bearings which is how they moved 60 tonne stones across Britain, they didn't have those on Orkney so it is surmised they used beds of slippery seaweed to slide the stones on. There was also a large migration of Neolithic tribes that migrated to the East coast of what is now the US during the last ice age, we know this because for years one of the US's most prized archeological artifacts was a Clovis point arrowhead, these were common in Neolithic France and Spain with thousands discovered in one cave alone. Many of the tribes persecuted during the colonisation of America were from European descent. The point is that Human migration was common in the ancient World, Humans were mostly nomadic before the rise of larger communities in central Europe (the oldest known site is in the Czech Republic and it's possible that it's the place where modern Human society began, the alpha site) again during the last ice age. Discoveries at this site found the oldest hunting nets ever found and the earliest examples of specialisation, the quality of tools found there were manufactured to a standard never found at hunter gatherer sites and none as old made to this standard have ever been found anywhere else on Earth.
She's Welsh 😬😬🐢

@@OrunitaViviThat's just what welsh ladies look like.
I'm 80% English, and I've never left America. Growing up, my family always said my maternal grandmother was Cuban, but I have 0% of any Latin countries.
Do you have Spanish? The Cuban ancestor might have been fully Spanish by blood, then no latin countries would show up
There were a lot of Americans and Europeans in Cuba before the revolution. Also, if it was a grandmother and she only had a smaller portion of indigenous or Latin DNA you might just not have inherited it because each generation only passes a random 50% to the next generation. If your mother, siblings, or cousins got tested they might have inherited it.
Awesome, now that we have your DNA floating around out there, that means we can finally cop us a few ILLEEEEEGAL clones of Lady Decade from the Chinese market 😎😎😎
Sounds creepy.
May I place an order?
Found the white knight 😅
Found another 🤣
I've watched a lot of Lady Decade building my retro library, but landed on this video on accident. Glad I did! I now know a lot more of where I come from than I did when I woke up today. Thank you!
DNA tests are so weird. I remember when I took one, it said I had 0.01% Japanese DNA from a relative in the 1700s. I was confused but excited. Months later, they updated and said it was a mistake 😂 Now 100% European in origin.
Its because we still have ancient DNA that is common to vast swaths of people across different continents. When the tests run into this they just write something that will make people interested and tell their friends about it to make them want to test themselves.
Black Irish have Moorish ancestry.
@selrahc2061
No. The name comes from their hair colour being darker than the typical brown, red, and later blond heads.
@@nealjroberts4050 Tradition says they came from Spain.
@@loosilu
Not only is tradition wrong but it's also not where Moors come from.
Your DNA results are so interesting, thanks for sharing. I kinda want to get my DNA results, it makes you feel more connected with your ancestors in a way.
I always thought you were Indian but regardless you are an amazing person. Your videos are very informative and fun.
I once was digging a trench at work during the summer and was very tan. A man walked up to me and started speaking Spanish. When I looked up he jumped backwards and said oh my god I thought you were Mexican. I just said sorry to disappoint and we both laughed.
Oh snap? Lady Decade now does world history! Just an idea. I'd definitely be down for it.
This was a very informative video. As a black guy here in the UK it is always interesting to see what peoples exact ethical backgrounds are
It would be interesting, if it worked, which it doesn't
@@patsk8872Why doesn't it work?
Why do I keep getting recommended this page
@@patsk8872
Except it absolutely does.
Mildly interested to find out why you think otherwise though.
Me too. Although being ethnically English I get called silly names for being interested in other humans.
It's built in to us I think and most don't listen to it. But I can usually tell even if someone has irish, german or other very close ancestry.
Lady D, like many British things such as Tea or Whiskey is blended to absolute perfection 😁
You can pass for my Puerto Rican cousins in NYC
I have never watched Lady Decade and do not know why she popped up in y recommends but she's charming. So I subbed.
Only in a super pale place like England would anyone consider Lady Decade "brown" here in California she'd be called olive skinned.
She wouldn't be confused with mexican? I'm Hispanic from the east coast, I have very pale skin (like, anemic looking lol) and I can only imagine what californians would think about me. This woman looks north Indian to me. Or maybe mixed with Punjab and White.
I always stumble on to your videos, and I always end up learning something
I thought you were Indian because… to me, you look Indian, and with that the British accent also made a lot of sense.
You bear a resemblance to Charlie Murphy, so 100% British.
I'm Rick James bitch lol
English DNA is tricky because it's in itself a mix of Celtic/German/Scandinavian DNA which are also groups on their own.
So if a segment on your DNA is slightly more Celtic than other groups it gets assigned as Celtic (Scotland/Wales/Ireland). If your family is from York you'd probably have a higher percentage of Scandinavian than other groups on segments and thus it will be assigned as Scandinavian.
Only people with a very balanced out profile between these groups in their segments (+-30% sca, +-30% celtic, +-30% german, +-10% other) will get assigned as "English", because if they loosen the strict definition for assignment a lot more of Dutch/Germans/Scandinavians would be wrongly assigned as "English" while it is the other way around.
Then there is the "between" group. If your mom is from Russia and you dad is from the UK you will have a chance you'll test Polish despite having no ancestors in Poland. It's just the group what your DNA is most like as a +-50% mix of germanic/slavic.
English and northwest European includes Normandy, Franco German borders down to Switzerland. Genetics blends unlike borders
My family has roots in America going back to the 1500s. Most recently we came out of Ireland and Austria. But i'm 400 years of grab bag American. When i lived in Germany i learned i had a lot of family in Austria. But they all felt as if i was coming to take something away from them. Gods only know what that's about. But i did get to meet one of the blacksheep. He was nice enough.
I'm 69yrs old one of my Grandparents actually descended from one of Seven families named in Magna Carter of people living in London, But Nobody lived in the British Isles, when they were buried under a half-mile thick sheet of Ice, Appart from Woolly Mammoths
Definitely an interested video. I never really wondered what your heritages were since it never crossed my mind, but cool that you got to find out more about yourself. ^v^ I personally already knew what my heritages were since all my family were pretty vocal about being things like Irish, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Native American, Swedish, and such. So I never had an interest in doing the tests, but i definitely understand why people would want to, especially if their family never talked much about it.
Families can misremember/fudge the truth, of course, you know that right? ;-) It's not even a bad thing, it's just... while oral histories are indeed very important, they aren't the gold standard of evidence. You may have a large chunk of ethnicity you never knew, because that part of the family history isn't talked about/forgotten/etc.
@@mercster perhaps. I can see maybe some families may not want to be as open or supportive of some part or another of their lineage, and many may not be as open as mine has been. I'm not discouraging the idea of anyone looking into it for themselves, just mostly saying I never had the need for it myself, since my family always kept things like birth records, photos, family trees, so I know pretty much what all is there outside of maybe some stray .5% or something of that nature.
@@CrimsonDamian So they have birth records, photos, and family trees going back 1000 years? I think you may be underestimating the amount of genetic variance... someone could have birth records going back for 300 years and absolutely believe they are 100% "something"... but way back before, had admixture with something else. It's not a question of whether your family is "open" or not, it's just the huge amount of data one would need to be "sure." I mean if you don't care, I don't care... I'm just lettin' ya know "I don't need a test because my family is open and honest about our genealogy" is a rather myopic statement. It's making a lot of assumptions and diminishing the very real possibility of gaps in the knowledge, no matter how "open" they are. But hey, like I said... if ya don't care, save yourself the $80 or whatever! Doesn't matter in the end, some people are more curious than others.
This explains why she's gorgeous! Love her skin tone.
I'm Eastern European Jewish, Greek, Italian, Turkish and from all over the Middle East. I'm proud of everything that I am.
I got a DNA test and then some people in black suits and sunglasses showed up at my house and I had to slip out the back. Now I'm on the run and going by the name sonofdormammu. I thought it was weird that my mom always told me NOT to get a DNA test before she hopped on this weird round plane for a "business trip". I haven't seen her since.
It feels so good to get that off my chest. Thanks!
1. These tests use quite a small part of your DNA, and two siblings might get quite different results because even though they're 50/50 of their parents they're a different combination of that 50/50
2. Greek/South Italian might actually be Etruscan (which were Greek city-states in Italy) or from Magna Graecia rather than Roman.
I did 23&me. I had a bit of surprise because I have family who are First Nation. I did not have that in my results.
On my father's side, he and one of my brother's met a cousin who is First Nation. The family oral history, although not much is known, is that everytime there was a sentence when my father was growing up, that they gave them a different European country each time to protect the family. This was during the residental school days when Native kids were removed from their home and forced to go to a boarding school to try and remove their culture.
So the DNA results gave different information. I knew that we are Irish and English, just not the percentages.
I used to daydream that I was switched at birth when I was a kid. I was not. The test showed that I was indeed my parents biological daughter.
The test also showed that I was almost 50% Irish and 50% English. I have a pinch of generic Scandinavian, as well.
It was still interesting, but I didn't expect those percentages.
No matter what you are, you’re 100% Lady Decade!
I did a DNA test back in 2017 and my results keep changing.
Someone has invented a time machine and is having fun with your ancestors.
I came here to say the same thing. I used to be 14% Italian and then I went to Italy where the locals all thought I was full Italian. Then later I checked my DNA results and now I’m 0% Italian. And one of the two highest results keep changing all over the continent. I have to log in periodically when people ask what am I just to confirm my latest results!~ 😂
I'm half Swedish and half Sri Lankan. My grandparents were from Tamil Nadu.
This was genuinely interesting, thank you, enjoyed it
I always figured Lady Decade was Indian was because she reminds me of that character from Thin Blue Line.
That was quite a fun and interesting diversion from the normal gaming content. The Tamil people I know (I've met a fair few living in South London) are quite dark so it makes sense that even one quarter Tamil is going to give you an overall skin tone and eye colour that is quite "Mediterranean" even when the rest of your genetic makeup is very Northern European.
I did my DNA and live in USA but I’m not Native American I found out I’m 98% European.
Something to keep in mind with scandinavian ancestry is that in addition to the vikings Norway at one point had the worlds 3rd largest merchant fleet, and during WWII the norwegian army in exile were stationed in Scotland.
There are mistakes sometimes. My DNA profile showed a small amount of Polynesian DNA, but later it was re examined and I am really mostly Scottish with Irish, English, French, Dutch and Scandinavian. In other words, genetically similar to my ancestors who settled in the New England, New York and Canadian colonies.
Wonderfully ambiguous 😅 honestly actually pretty unique! Fun fact about the 0.8% mesoamerican, the aztec empire spread all the way to brazil and even cuba at certain times, and the vikings came to the americas for trade and plunder pretty regularly. Apparently there was a lady somewhere in those piles of riches 😂
I always enjoy your gaming videos, but it's fun to see you do something completely different and I'd be happy to see more of it. 🙂
A friend of mine had a DNA test done... They said he was genetically linked to various cultures of the UK as well, Welsh, Irish, etc. etc. The funny thing is his great grand parents spoke fluent German. 🍺😂🌭
My uncle married a woman with Welsh heritage. My cousin is very dark with deep Hazel eyes. He looks middle Eastern. His tan is mental and people talk to him in their language on foreign holidays too lol
As I like to say:
*_"You DO choose your FRIENDS."_*
*_"You DO NOT choose your DNA."_*
A really interesting video. I never really gave it too much thought, but I assumed her ethnicity was Indian.
I know a guy whose dad was full British and his mum was British Indian of 3 generations in India. He is British looking except you can see in his eyes he has Indian heritage. His younger brother is fully brown. Products of the East India trading company!
Bravelle! These types of videos are always so interesting, kind of like living history books.
A great video, really interesting and your usual funny self. I guess it just shows that you're a great youtuber and I think that if you're passionate about what you're talking about, it's unskippable for me.
Actually not all ancient Britons were celts. The celts mainly settled in Cornwall, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and migrated originally from Brittany and Iberia but the oldest tribes of ancient Britain (known as the beaker people because of their pottery) were here a long time before that and there is much debate about where they came from.
"“And now imagine your line of ancestors - since the birth of Christ. There was a Roman captain, a black guy, brown as a ripe olive, who taught Latin to a blonde girl. And then a Jewish spice dealer came into the family. He was a serious person who became a Christian before he got married and founded the Catholic household tradition. - And then a Greek doctor came along, or a Celtic legionnaire, a Graubünden Landsknecht, a Swedish rider, a soldier of Napoleon, a deserted Cossack, a Black Forest seafarer, a wandering miller's boy from Alsace, a fat sailor from Holland, a Magyar Pandur, an officer from Vienna, a French actor, a Bohemian musician - they all lived on the Rhine, fought, drank and sang and fathered children - and - and Goethe, who came from the same pot, and Beethoven and Gutenberg, and Matthias Grünewald, and - oh well, look it up in the dictionary. They were the best, my dear! The worlds best! And why? Because the peoples mixed there. Mixed together - like the waters from springs and streams and rivers, so that they run together into one great, living stream." Harras in Des Teufels General from Carl Zuckmayer.
There are some problematic last three sentences I let out here, but the point still stands and goes for all corners of our earth..
I had the same result in my “English” ancestry (which should have been roughly 25%)-none of it was actually “English”. It was a combination of Welsh (native Briton?), Scottish, and Norwegian (Viking?). Like you, I get the “where are you from?” thing a lot, in spite of the fact that I was born in Washington DC, I didn’t set foot outside the United States until I was 26, my parents were both born in the states, and some of my ancestors arrived in the colonies in the early 17th century. My most abundant ethnicity is actually Nordic (some via my putative British line and most via my grandmother, whose parents immigrated from Norway); however, my Sicilian and Jewish genes determined my phenotype. When I get angry and someone makes a comment about my fiery Italian temper, I say, “no-it actually comes from my pillaging Viking ancestors!”
The Celts were a mid European continent tribe and a few of them made it to Britain long after it was fully settled from quite a few places over many thousands of years. In the mid 18th century the name was co-opted for commercial reasons.
That view is being challenged recently. Celts may have come from the west.
Pretty cool vid, I never thought about it to be honest. I can see the Irish though.
Mostly just always thought “she’s pretty.” Fairly sure this was quite the journey for you.❤👍
Would be hilarious if the Scottish part took over and she couldn’t say purple burglar alarm. 😂
Not only is England's genealogy messy. So is the language. How the hell did Old English evolve into what we speak today?
This was really cool to watch, Lady Decade! Thanks! As an American, I've learned more history about the world watching this video than listening to a fellow American talk about it!
That's interesting results and history of the Tamil peoples of Sri Lanka. I did Ancestry DNA and IIRC showed 74% from the UK, what they consider England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; 19% from the Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark (not surprising with a great grandfather from Hamburg, a few hours from Denmark), and most of the rest from various Western European countries.
The surprise was 1% from the former French colonies of northern Africa. Years before doing the test I had married a French speaking indigenous North African from Algeria, maybe this marriage was a subconscious going home.
Welsh singer Tom Jones was known to American audiences first by his voice, which led many to believe he was black. Then they say the Welsh crooner on TV ... and still weren't sure.
DNA now on file. A necessity for gracious cloning.
In all seriousness, as an American, I found your presentation here very interesting.
My smol brain grew 3 sizes that day.
Ngl, your Greek/Southern Italian dna, though a smaller percentage, definitely went hard in the paint, because the first time I saw one of your videos (about 2 hours ago, before I started my binge, lol) I immediately thought you reminded me of Mirina Sirtis 😂
Interesting! Yeah I always wondered, I thought maybe South Asian or Persian. 😏 I did one of those tests too, I'm 52% French/German, 15.7% British/Irish, and 26.8% Polish. Curiously it also says 0.2% North Indian/Pakistani, which... I'm white as a ghost. I think those trace things are either statistical anomalies or, some very slight hint of the Indo-European peoples coming through from tens of thousands of years ago or whatever. Thanks for the video.
I'll pass as Hispanic to amuse myself. Strangers tend to play up their love for tacos and burritos when they're going for 'friendly,' so it's not hard. One time, I was cleaning the trunk of my 4Runner in a parking lot, a couple of guys came and thrusted cash at me. Asked for some tamales with a side of salsa. Told him I'd like some too.
So all of us Hispanics are mexican? Ok 🤦♂️
Fun fact. Celts were not the first people in the British Isles.
The editing with all the context images and gifs, and the meme reactions is engaging. Your dresses are fun too. Keep it up ^_^
The Celts are the ancient ancestors of the millions of British indigenous people of the UK today.
Well keeping in mind we share about 60% of our DNA with a Banana. Nothing really surprises me. Plus if you think about it really hard and go back far enough, we are all related in 1 way or another.
I've considered trying one of these tests out. I hit a couple roadblocks trying to piece together my family tree and that was only going back a few generations; to the best of my knowledge, both sides of the family came from Europe late 19th into early 20th century, but I couldn't make much progress there. While this likely wouldn't help sort through some of those issues, it'd be something to add on to the side.
Im considering too because i dont know shit about my family history, im adopted and i dont know my real parents.
What these vidz overlook is the cousin matches...
This was really cool. Thanks for sharing!
I have been on 23andme for years, and I dont trust any of it anymore.
First off, my personal results changed over time.
I used to have all kinds of results from different countries in Europe, and some in Eastern Europe.
Over the years this has gradually morphed into 99% British.
Personally I think this is the result of two factors:
1. Its not historical DNA.
They dont have a time machine so your results are heavily skewed by the test results of other people. They are essentially polling the populations NOW, and comparing you to DNA people have in those locations NOW. Given that Im Anglo Saxon, and my mother descended from Eastern Europe, its pretty bizarre that those traits have gradually disappeared.
2. They are trying to promote their genealogy service
The more they push the whole "trace your family tree" services, the less information they gave on genetic makeup.
When I signed up I thought it was science.
After watching my DNA results do a complete about-turn over several years I think the whole thing is nonsense.
They comparing you to DNA found in some cave man frozen in ice two thousand years ago, they are calculating a mean average on the fly, based on the results of their customers.
When someone asks me where I’m from, I ask them if they’re taking the census ✍️ End of conversation 😂
As a fellow Welch, welcome to the family.
Although the Angles were situated where Denmark is now they were actually Germanic at the time.
The Scots were originally Picts and the Irish were originally Scots.
I did like to hear these things about your Ancestry Lady! :) To be honest our Ancestry doesn`t matter to us cuz you not being more or less... I wanted to say you`re beautiful. :)
When you have dark hair in Britain, there is no mystery that you have a different ethnic background. The history of Britain is a drive towards and love of blonde hair and blue eyes. All one has to do is scan English literature and see this but the easiest is the case of Captain Richard Burton, the traveler, soldier and general man about the world from the 1800's. He was called a gypsy for having dark hair.
Every mixed girl has heard “WHY ARE YOU BROWN,” to the point of exhaustion. ❤
I am in the United States. I do not hear "brown" being used. What country are you in?
@@stephenfisher3721 It’s an umbrella term for POC.
Ahah, you always seemed so familiar to me, and now that you mentioned other people think you have a resemblance to Marina Sirtis, I realize that's exactly why! Very cool to hear your results.
I found this to be really cool! Thank you for sharing with us!
I'm 4% white European, 1.5% Native American and 94% Black African. I can get an EU Citizenship right?
How about a ticket back to Africa
A lot of the comments didn't get to the end of the video, because you are part Sri Lankan. Interesting video, thank you!
I am 100% European, 66% British and I can trace my English ancestry back to the 1600s. I was thinking I might have Irish blood, but I can't find one ancestor who was Irish. I am also 23% Swedish/Denmark. It's interesting that by blood I am more British and European than a large percentage of British or Europeans who exist on the continent and hold citizenship. I am American.
One fact that is left out. The Celts are also not originally from the British Isles, but rather central Europe and they migrated outwards.
Thank you for sharing and doing so in a fun and informative way.
My mother is pure Quebecois, many of whom came from Normandy. No ancestry test can differentiate between Northwest France and British DNA. So she comes out as British, French, a small amount of Italian, and about 2% Native American. This is very typical of Quebecois. I have yet to run across a Quebecer who doesn't have that little slice of Native American.
As an American this is all mindblowing. You're all english to me
This was such and informative video in Britain history. Thanks for sharing some of your personal background!!!! Ur mad cool!!
Congrats .A bit of correction, Scandinavians,, Saxons, and Danes are all Germanic. The Celtic people in England proper weren't displaced but absorbed and became "English" over time. Also the Celts in Scotland and some places of Ireland had their own Germanic invasions and connections. Also all of these people are closely related west Indo-European peoples.
I don't care of skin color because I'm brazilian and most of brazilian people is, at least , product of 4 etnical groups: bants, angolans, portugueses and native brazilians like the Tupi-Guarani tribes, your semblances of indian women never lied to me, because there are so many indians and other people that migrated to my country, and there mixes of blacks, browns and white people in the entire country. It's really very common couples of white blonde women and a black man here. However if my wife didn't unfertile, we'd a son or daughter blond of pulled eyes, my wife is at great part descendant of japanese. My like and subscryption at your channel is guaranteed. I liked very much of your videos, so congratulations about this one!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing some of your history.
That's a good explanation. It's why the Irish get the highest amount of "British & Irish", and the Eastern English get the lowest amount.
When I started watching your videos, I knew that some of your ancestors were from India. You are just a lovely person all around, sense of humor, articulation, and intelligence. Just be you.
I don't know what company you used but for 23andMe they actually consider British and Irish the same thing so they just have a category called British and Irish and they said Im 95% that. I think they put a half a percent of some random stuff in just to keep people interested or something.
For the US, she is not all that dark. My first guess would have been Greek or Eastern Med, but North India is plausible, as she has some resemblance to Nikki Haley, whose family is Punjabi.
Its funny how genetics work... i have almost nothing from arabian/levantine/north African dna, yet i easily pass as an inhabitant from these parts of the world.
I would never thought you are so much north european/nordic, but at the same time its quite relatable to me to have people asking me what my ethnicity is.
