11:48 She must be from a German-speaking country, considering her e-mail settings. 15:09 When browsing through her matches, she said, "Austria, obviously", so I guess most if not all of her known ancestry is from Austria. 20:17 "After [the] War" - probably her family was from Yugoslavia (Bosnia?) and emigrated to Austria in the 1990's, when she was just a child.
Interesting how the guy is mainly British but has a very atypical accent. Would imagine he must've grew up in the Philippines Edit: also as a South African I can assure you he doesn't sound like he's from here and the accent you're probably thinking of is only spoken by Afrikaaner south africans, generally not the ones with english/Irish ancestry
I could certainly be wrong about the accent, he just reminds me of my sister's first husband's family, who were from Cape Town. Granted, it has been at least a decade since I last spoke to them.
Europeans matching to people with Filipino/Malay DNA - its much more likely that the relationship comes from a _European_ ancestor, going to what were then the colonies, and then having children with the locals & the locals then having a little bit of European DNA floating around.... rather than the other way around, i.e. Filipino/Malay DNA being introduced to European areas. So no it does *not* (necessarily) mean you have Filipino DNA for crying out loud. The same goes for anywhere that the Europeans colonised, if you have matches there, it's much more likely that your ancestors went there & not the other way around.
You are right, they are not South African, they probably grew up learning British-English accent which results to a South African vibe for people who don't know this accent that good lol
Yeah, my first thought when i heard him was german-speaking and her match-site was set to german. They also kept dropping in some german words in their speech. So Germany, Austria or Switzerland most likely.
I can see that they do test a lot of Irish people I’m half Irish half Puerto Rican and I got 56.6% British and Irish and only 12.6% Spanish which I thought was low and surprisingly 8.1% Italian that’s my euro dna and the rest is SSA and Indigenous.
I enjoy the critique from your point of view, but truthfully I get a hoot out of seeing you go nuts when they DON'T share the centimorgans or go to look at matches or say up front what they are expecting. Haha.
Never seen this channel before but when I saw this guy I thought he was German, even though as you've said many times don't go on physical attributes. I'm shocked that so many of these RUclipsrs don't know who their grandparents were or where they were originally from to give an impression of they expect. I know they don't record these videos for people coming to their channel the first time (maybe they should) or someone like you reacting to it, but it's just frustrating. Maybe before doing that reactions you should ask your community if they know the channel and where the people from (without giving away spoilers obviously). She talked a lot about where family are now without telling anything she knew of the history of where her parents and grandparents were from (I find it odd that of them know anything to have any expectations, unless they are adoptees).
Most Filipinos have Spanish surnames because the Spaniards forced people to adopt Spanish surnames for tax purposes. And even if a Filipino has a Spanish ancestor, it's most likely not gonna show up on DNA tests because they are a few centuries back ago.
Right off the bat, I would say she must have a significant % of Iberian DNA (or DNA from areas that often occur in the Iberian Peninsula, like North Africa) because she would totally "disappear" among the crowd in, say, Sevilla. It doesn't look like her phenotype has significant Malay features. But of course, only a small % of DNA affect one's phenotype... EDIT: I see she is not actually from the Philippines, so forget what I just said.
And now at the end-- bummer! Glad to hear they're at least interested in developing a family tree and getting a sense of how they connect with all those thousands of cousins.
Not sure if you’re aware of the Romani people? They came from northern India and entered Europe around the 14th century. My grandma’s father was a Romani and he married a Danube-Swabian. She of course got a large portion of German & Eastern Europe, a considerable of Balkan, and small amount of Baltics, Greece/Albania and Cyprus. Most of these ethnicities would come from her mother’s side being ethnic German/Swiss from North-West Serbia. Most Romani people get south Asian DNA. She didn’t. I guess that’s because she’s only half Romani? Also I was assuming her dad was full Romani rather than say half or a third.
I knew a person who was so closed minded about doing any type of DNA testing Ashkenazi background from both parents. In this person's mind no extended family members exist, after loosing parents and sibling from natural causes) what was more important to this person was to stay stuck in grief and loss, and push away any previous encounters with extended family. I guess DNA matches would have been push extended family members into a shared loss if they were contacted? Also refuses therapy or grief counseling. Mental wellness is so important when your doing your DNA testing. Just wanted to share.
I'm adopted and I have 64,000 matches through Ancestry. Who knows what percentage of my DNA relatives have done testing through Ancestry, but it's crazy to think we could form a medium sized city! I've been fortunate to get many of my family tree branches back to the early 1800s in Georgia and some back to the Revolutionary War in Virginia and the Carolinas, but finding out where they originated from has not been possible for most of them. The only branches I can be confident of are the French families that came to "New France" in the 1700's and settled on the Red River in Louisiana. Ironically, my DNA results don't show any percentage for French heritage, although I match with descendants of all of those families. It seems like I'm related to a significant portion of the population of Northern and Central Louisiana. I was very surprised to find 3% Sweden and 3% Norway. I have no idea where in my family that is from, I suspect a branch named Tolbert/Talbert, but I've only been able to get them back to an ancestor (3rdggf) born in Louisiana in 1830 and that seems like a high percentage for that far back. I feel like the DNA Origins part of my results are pretty low accuracy.
Ciao io ho fatto test myheritage e in 3 anni hi 974 corrispondenze.molti da stati uniti con origini italuane meridionale come me che sono del sud puglia e ho molte corrispondenze con persone di origine drll este europa e finlandesi.ma ho un gruppo di corrispondenze 13 che hanno loro origini dei rom e tutti loro hanno tutti asia meridionale e gruppi genetici dei rom.che vuol dire?i miei risultati sono greco e italia meridionale sardo e mediorentale4,5%.
Probably similar to what Jarrett said in this video about the matches that are part Filipino, Indonesian, and Malay: You may have some cousin who married into a Rom community, so their descendants will match with you have have Rom/South Asian ancestry.
Grazie ti sequo sempre.sei bravissimo.loro per myherirage sono figli di cugini di 4grado ma ci sono alcuni di loro che tra loro sono mezzi cugini di primo grato tra di loro mentre con me sono figli di 4grado .hanche due bambine di appena 6 anni.che vuol dire qualche cugino che si e sposato con communita rom e corrispondono ha me .grazie
Wow My Heritage is good for European and South American? I was wondering if my results frm My Heritage were accurate for the Balkan and Scandinavia. Thank you very much.
What's really interesting here - is how many people think there will be something so "exotic" because they think that will make them "cool"...he ignores, more or less that more than half is British - to his mind that must a bit dull(?)..to say look how, 27% Balkan I am - as that seems more exciting to him lol.
Everyone always seems to want to find that 1% indigenous American result which is always so low as to be insignificant ...and means nothing re DNA results..
this is clickbait pure and simple. ytbers get more views when the put PI or filipinos in the title. this couple is from central europe that live in the PI that's it
The guy is so annoying, and he displays the typical Northwestern European ignorance about Central and Eastern Europe. No, Czechia is not in the Balkans, it’s in Central Europe.
E poi ho anche una triangolazione stesso segmento con queste persone che hanno origini dai loro risultati dei rom.che significa per me?io ho una bisnonna la madre di mia nonna materna che era figlia di padre incerto e mia nonna non ha il padre che significa?

Amela - Bosnian & Muslim

My former MIL was from Capetown 100% sounds South African.
Former MIL was from Capetown 100% agree on accent

They’re Austrian. No longer a couple.
I'm a South African - and he does not sound South African to me, but I could be surprised! 😊
You are right, they are not South African, they probably grew up learning British-English accent which results to a South African vibe for people who don't know this accent that good lol
Yeah, my first thought when i heard him was german-speaking and her match-site was set to german. They also kept dropping in some german words in their speech. So Germany, Austria or Switzerland most likely.
If he is from Austria, makes sense he has Balkan origins, it used to be one empire, people migrated and moved back and forth all the time.
Yea I have 24% poland/baltics and my grandfather is polish
I can see that they do test a lot of Irish people I’m half Irish half Puerto Rican and I got 56.6% British and Irish and only 12.6% Spanish which I thought was low and surprisingly 8.1% Italian that’s my euro dna and the rest is SSA and Indigenous.
Commenting this at the start-- excited to see some Filipino rep! Looking forward to hear the breakdown.

Yes, its so strange I also am from Filipino origin, but some tests gives me 2 to even 7% European or Mediterreanan. and others gives me 0% lol
I'd be curious to see his results with the updated myHeritage admixtures. I had 15% Balkans and it completely disappeared with the update
Right off the bat, I would say she must have a significant % of Iberian DNA (or DNA from areas that often occur in the Iberian Peninsula, like North Africa) because she would totally "disappear" among the crowd in, say, Sevilla. It doesn't look like her phenotype has significant Malay features.
But of course, only a small % of DNA affect one's phenotype...
EDIT: I see she is not actually from the Philippines, so forget what I just said.
I’m pretty sure a lot of Balkan people moved to Austria and Switzerland in the 80’s and 90’s?
Hello from MN
Yay! First one!
And now at the end-- bummer! Glad to hear they're at least interested in developing a family tree and getting a sense of how they connect with all those thousands of cousins.

I missed this, but I'm watching now.
Balkan war? WWI? WWIi? the Serbian war in the '90s?
I sent off a CRI GENETICS test. Still waiting.
I took a My Heritage DNA test and I got English 53% Azores Islands Portugal 26.4 % Irish Scottish Welsh 8.9 % Scandinavian 7.6 % East European 4.1 % .
They're really European, but the title of their video was a clickbait for Filipinos to click.
Wow...
Her family doesn't move around much.

Is that y 23andme only gives me 17% eastern European. It also makes sense y uploading to Myheritage gave me 27% when it was free

People in older generations actually married relatives as long as not siblings or parents so then you have less ancestors than you said.

That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get all my family tree.
It would be virtually impossible bc it never ends. If you get back 10 generations at that level (8x great-grandparents) there are over 1000 of them!
Wow My Heritage is good for European and South American? I was wondering if my results frm My Heritage were accurate for the Balkan and Scandinavia. Thank you very much.
i thought she is AOC for a second
