Hi, as a record the dutch are part of Germanic Europe(The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic (primarily in Western Czech Republic, Denmark)
Yeah as a coloured girl I need to take this test!Would be so cool to know everything I'm mixed with because heritage/ancestry is important and I need to know my roots.. 😊
YES !! do it! oh my gosh, I would recommend everyone should do it. its been so interesting knowing exactly where my ancestors are from. Above all, I am so proud of how mixed us as coloured people are. I feel like we don't even realise it xx also check out the link in my pinned comments. there's a SA based test available on TakeAlot xx
I am Cape coloured and my ancestry results are like a map of the world too 😂😂... From papau new Guinea, through indonesia/Malaysia, Philippines, South China, South India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Scandinavia, England, to southern bantu and khoisan 🙃... We are a mixed bunch, but on the plus side I beat covid in 5 days so maybe we have super genes 😂😂
People think only Asian Indonesians came to South Africa BUT the Papua people came from Africa and English History says there were black Indonesians living amongst the black tribes in South Africa and they mixed with the Zulus and whites and are all colors.
Thanks for sharing, the Coloured people are extremely interesting to me and often so misunderstood. Germanic refers to the North Western European race, meaning the Dutch, Danish, German, Austrian and even English are mainly Germanic. England was settled by the Angles, Saxons and Jutes who were from modern day Germany and Denmark making English a Germanic language. Afrikaans is also a Germanic language. The Germanic people worship Odin/Thor/Freya and even the days of the week are named after these Gods. Wednesday = Odin's day (Originally closer to Woden's day), Thursday = Thor's day, Friday = Freya's day. The Afrikaans name for Thor is Donner, That's why we call it Donderdag. Also notice "Thor" and "Thunder" and "Donner" and "Donderweer" and Afrikaans people saying "Ek gaan jou donner" when they will use a lot of force, because Thor represents incredible strength.We call Odin Wotan so Wotan's dag becomes Woensday.
Carin, the Cape colony was settled by the Dutch East India Company, but the people they allowed to settle there were not only Dutch. More than a quarter of the Europeans that settled there were not Dutch. German and French also settled there, but they quickly assimilated and spoke Dutch. That is why Afrikaans surnames are not only Dutch but also German and French.
This is correct. I also want to point out to the presenter that "Germanic" is not exclusively German, as she seems to assume. It would definitely include the Dutch in this context. The Germanic people today will include, by and large, the German, Dutch, English, Frisian, Afrikaans, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian people, among others.
@@corneljansevanrensburg5552 yes it seems like strange word to use for DNA. Scots are also Germanic because English and Scots are Germanic languages. I associate Germanic more as language group.
@@lilonkemgidlana3360 Yes you are right Southern Bantu people because Xhosa (even if some are predominantly Khoisan) and Zulu are Nguni which is Southern Bantu people
Thanks for sharing. It amazes me how mixed the mix really gets with us Coloureds, one should never assume an "one mix to fit them all" approach. I was excited to be able to do my ancestry test with a local company in South Africa called BeHappytobeYou.
This is interesting because in America at one point black Americans were considered colored we were also considered Negro now we are Afro-American Very interesting
I'm about the same skin color as you. I just received my DNA results from NIH's research program. I'm 30% sub-Saharan African. 22 of that is West African and 8% of that is Central& East African. The rest is Western Europe, Northern Europe, Jewish, and Native American. I was surprised and disappointed to discover I don't have any Chinese but also feeling good about my results overall. I would like to take the test you took. It sounds more thorough as far as regions go.
If you're coloured from south Africa then your subsahara DNA must come from central Africa not West Africa... because black south Africans (Bantu) came from central Africa
Carin (and any other 'Coloured' person who wants to know more about the real history of the Cape, go get Patric Tariq Mellet's book "The lie of 1652". It will give you perspective on why you've got such a diverse mix of ancestry. People don't for example realise that there was a 200 year slave history at the Cape and that during that time, slaves from India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cameroon, Guinea, Mozambique etc were brought here. These people assimilated into a community of their own. They greatly contribute to the DNA pool of so-called 'coloured' people.
I'm so glad you've researched the heritage of SA - I know that one of the progenitors on my family married the daughter of a earlier settler who petitioned to marry a slave. She came from one of the Asian countries under Dutch rule, or where they traded not sure. But that's only one portion, another married a Griqua who were known as Bastaards (not to be confused with bastard) who asked the Dutch Cape Govt to leave as a group from the Cape to the interior where they established a colony of their own. Eventually some of these people married people from the local tribes and when you get to me, I'm a hybrid of the world, with my early heritage down to my grandparents and parents of Irish, Coloured, Boer, Prussian which might be Polish or Hungarian and etc etc. We are people of the world when we discover our heritage. We realise how petty racism is. More than 55 yrs or so I learned of part of my heritage. I'm grateful my parents weren't ashamed of our heritage which taught me that early lesson of the sins of apartheid which separated brothers, sisters, parents, and cousins. My late husband was surprised to discover one of his British Settler ancestors members married an Eastern Cape African family. A photo of him with his family survived over time. A showcase and reminder of a time when apartheid did not ways exist in SA.
Hello, I’m a black American. I researched my DNA as well. 😊 I’m so happy for you, that you were able to deepen the knowledge of what your full ethnicity is. I enjoyed finding out mine. The colourderds in South Africa are next very much in the same way that Black Americans or African Americans are mixed. It’s just that a lot of African Americans (black peoples) didn’t and don’t realize their full ethnicity until they submit one of these kits.
Yep. Pretty much any South African Coloured, especially those from the Cape region can expect to be extremely mixed. We're the most mixed community in the world 🌍. I'm playing with the idea of taking the test and putting it on RUclips but having a genetic breakdown isn't that important to me.
Thanks for sharing Carin. Props for the selection of your video by the Camissa Museum being developed at the Cape of Good Hope Castle and on their digital platforms. 👌
@@mattontop2262 this is really interesting. I heard that there were Indians that came to the Cape with the Dutch long before the recent Indian migration to KZN.
@@fadielbenjamin159 yes it is true. In the 16th century as slaves. The Dutch also brought through Malaysian people hence the word “cape Malay”. However prior to Malay people coming to SA they also already had South Indian Tamil ancestry in them. Also a lot of Afrikaners have Indian ancestry through the slaves that were brought to the cape.
Hi! The Germanic Europe section does include the Netherlands it says primarily located in Germany because most people who have it have german ancestors. The primarily located isn't to do with your dna:)
I read that the main component of the colored ones is khoisan and the first test I see already escapes that, I am pardo (mixed) from Brazil, and the colored ones are much more mixed than us, our main component is European 65% on average
You’re right😀 majority of our dna is said to come from the Khoisan people 😀 but we are extremely diverse so then % thereof varies greatly from one individual to the next 😀
Khoi and San people were considered a sub group along with Indians and other Asians but they aren't mixed. Some Khoi and San communities are reestablishing their native identities and are distancing themselves from Coloureds. Mixed race Coloureds are usually Cape Coloured, Cape Malay etc
Not everyone has khoisan genes as coloured is a term given to a non homogeneous group of mixed race people which could include any brown complected people from anywhere else in the world who decided to settle in SA during Apartheid.
I believe that Bantu people and Khoisan people are most mixed Race in Southern Africa, it makes sense because even if the Khoisan people were the first people in South Africa, still, they lived in Africa and Bantu people come from Africa.
There’s a great book that explain in more details called the Lie of 1652 written by patrick t mallet . He explain our historian roots & as like what you mentioned about the people of the cape being one of the most diverse groups . One more fact is if you should have the opportunity to live / travel to Asia / Middle East / Polynesia islands etc you will understand & see our people’s origin . We are camisa people 🇿🇦❤️
Very interesting. I’m from the US, but I would be considered coloured in SA as well I suppose. I’m mainly English, Irish, German (~75%), Nigerian, and Congolese (25%). Those are the big ones of the dozen or so ethnicities I have. So, you are not alone by any means.
It's not too surprising that colored people have a significant amount of Indian DNA, a lot of Indians came to South Africa when both countries were part of the mighty British empire
I don't get where some of her ancestry comes from. I can understand that she has Bantu and European DNA but where the hell is the Melanesian and Iranian ancestry from.
Many coloured people in South Africa have not only white and black, but South Asian ancestry as well. So it would be South Asian ancestors with admixture from those regions.
@@bangmyguntilliseethepinbro4899 they have Neolithic Iran farmers(Indus Valley civilisation) and indo-iranian ancestry just like Iranians so depending on the DNA test, Indian DNA can show up as partially Iranian. Remember than the names companies give to their different DNA components are arbitraty
So cool Carin well done. I am coloured and Ive been wanting to know what tribes and clans I'm connected to both sides black and white. I know for sure that my maternal great grandmother was griqua, I'd like to understand a bit more about it, my aunt in Cape Town said she was of the khoi people, then my great grandfather was black, but I don't know if he was Xhosa, Tswana? The black people from Cape Town what majority are they? White side on my father's side were Scots, we even had the surname Lakey because my father grew up in his grandmother's house. My paternal aunt mentioned some French descent too but we'll never know. Then there's some Malay too. I just love it! It's lit 😂
Yeah mmm.... latelly, I entered in the profile of a SA company. They mentioned that the have x% y% z% "while" "black" and "colour" employees, of course: wow: they are still racist? and also, I have no idea who the "ppl of colour" are. This is still insane, classifying people by the colour, as crayons. My kid has friends from a various colours from pale to dark brown and they are totally "color blind", they do not care about the "color" of the friends, is an unexsistent parameter. How crazy world it would be if our son would identify as "white" and his friend as a "person of colour"
I’m not South African, but how I’d love to do a DNA test. I’m mixed of South Asian, Central Asian, French, Celtic and English ancestry. My half brother did a DNA test and we figured out that my Mum who was raised English isn’t as English as we thought, looking at the results she turned out to be more French and Welsh than English.
I'm colored as well. I think I should be labeled as South African even though I'm not. My maternal grandmother was from South Africa, and boy, she was hella mixed as well. She was Dutch, Malaysian, Indian, British, and possibly some African. My paternal grandmother was 100% Iberian based on my Dad. Both of my grandfathers are mostly Asians. I'm excited to see my results soon!
I loved this! So nice to hear a Cape Coloured accent :). Which test did you do? I am Cape Coloured, living in the Netherlands and my son, 13 with Dutch father, wants to do a DNA test so I reckon: fun for the whole family 😂😂😂.
Hey 😀 thank you so much xx I did the AncestryDNA test which is available for purchase from AncestryDNA.com. If they don’t ship to your country , there is another one you can do called 23andMe😀 I think it would be so much fun!! - I’m the only one in my family who has done it so far but it’s been so cool discussing my results with my parents so I can only imagine how nice it would be for your whole family to do 💜😀😀
7:10 omg It's strange they mix maps of Indonesia with melanesia. In fact, only the easternmost island of Indonesia is referred to as melanesia. Their features are very different from those of western Indonesia.
Hey, Thanks for this. I'll be doing mine soon. I'm a tad surprised that you only 23 % Khoi-San. Your parents must probably have recent European parents. Cool.
I believe we are all mixed - starting from Adam and Eve, so all human family mixed from the beginning. Only thru time, politics and geography have "races" become consolidated and somewhat homogeneous. We are oh so very much more alike than we are different. Congrats, young lady, you are a beautiful part of the world.
Newsflash: I've researched my family tree mainly online since 2011 : all Afrikaners and those with Afrikaner ancestry(including me) have slave and/or non European colonial ancestors even if we look totally European. A lot of us have nice summer tans, now l know why! My mother's oldest known direct female ancestor is slave Catharina van Malabar through her Naude mother. 3 female cousins' mtDNA triangulates at U2c1, most common in India, Pakistan & Afghanistan. Malabar= modern day Kerala, SW India. My granny would be horrified if she'd hung around long enough for me to spill the beans! My father's paternal Bosman grandmother was sort of biracial- her mother had a long line of van de Kaap ancestors. I was already past 50 when l got hold of the family photos. One of 2 shows my Bosman GGmother & Scotsman Knox GGfather at their Harrington St, Cape Town abode presumably, with an elegant, confident lndian - looking man standing between their chairs. Close examination shows ears like my grandfather's & mine and a slightly raised left eyebrow just like Ggranny next to him & my father's old ID pic. GGpop, his wife and her brother Petrus Jacobus aka Peter John Bosman were all bookbinders. His skin, even in a monochrome photo, was considerably darker than my GGmother's. I knew the companion picture with just my GGparents in the same chairs & 2 oldest sons but l suspect the other picture was kept hidden from us children to avoid difficult questions, like my sister in law: " who's that dude in the middle?" after l posted it on FaceBook(she proudly proclaims herself 1/8 coloured BTW). Coincidentally my son & his 3 Knox cousins live up the road in the same street at the moment! Now l know where my deep tan comes from(other than a half Italian girl, l was the darkest in my all 'European' high school class) and the black hair now growing out of my ears(the rest is mostly grey). My 2 beautiful sisters have little dark moustaches, getting quite indignant when l crassly pointed it out, haha.
You are so pretty! 😍 Actually i expected mostly Europe (Dutch, Germany) + a little Khoisan. You know whats fun? i am 100% germanic and i'm kinda darker than you 😅😅 except blue eyes + i have straight hair.
I wish every coloured person had the opportunity to take this test. I wouldn't take it because it would be totally uninteresting. I'm British and my ancestors were British.
I also want to take it ,my grandma is coloured & my dad is Zulu & Swati & my family is very mixed,there's blacks,whites and indians so clearly I'm not a pure race myself
Great vid. I did a Myheritage Dna test and ja nee as a Coloured I also have quite a diverse mix. Travel goals 😎😁 How did you receive the kit? I thought AncestryDNA doesn't send to SA? I'm keen to do their test to compare
Justin dV I know right 😂 I want to visit all the country’s that came up. I ordered the test while I was in America but received my results when I was back home 😀 unfortunately they don’t ship to SA which really sucks
What I've noticed about most colored DNA results is that they always skip over the Bantu part and over emphasize the Hunger gatherer portion of their DNA. Interesting
@Asingamaanda Makhuvha just like people feel sorry for people who make fools of themselves because they don't understand the differences between the bantu(nguni people) and the hunter gatherers original peoples of SA, the Khoisan. Learn which group form the basis of the coloured people. Which group met the colonisers in the cape area when they first arrived.
@Asingamaanda Makhuvha that is a generalisation you and the other poster decided to make based on a single video here. You again make an assumption about what my race is. Ignorance and spite are what will bring SA down.
My great great great great grandfather came to south African as missionary he was from Prussia.Berlin,your DNA is very interesting,thank you for sharing .Your a beautiful mix of people from all over the world.my grandfather from Prussia married Scottish .thank you hay👋💕🕊️buy
@@MIA-ti7pg be a use a lot of the mix coloureds (khoi and San) intermarried with the Bantu.Some were raped by their white and Indian masters.. Meaning all of us need to take DNA tests. White. Black Coloured. Indian
But looking at this, African genes must be incredibly strong. To think you have a lot of _"straight hair genes"_ in your gene pool, but throw in a little African genes, and the hair curls immediately.
That's interesting they still use the word coloured to describe people of mixed heritage in your country. Here in the US, the word "colored" is a derogatory word. Thanks for sharing your experience.!
Who cares??? The USA isnt the entire world nobody cares about your irrelevant feelings im tired of americans stikinng their stupid views in every country
Quick question... Before colonisers came to SA,what did "Coloured" people identify as and what language did they speak? We can all agree English and Afrikaans are language's of colonisers🤔
I may be incorrect, and I'm sorry for that but I don't think Coloured people existed before they came. Aren't Coloured people a mixture of Native South African and European? If Europeans weren't in SA yet, how would Coloured people exist?
@@Daphne-xj9kqit is more of a generalised term that disgarded the roots and histories of many different groups. You can find more on it on the camissa website but it doesn’t necessarily mean mixed between native and white and many other native groups were sort of thrown in there aswell when the term first became used
Because it’s based on data from other people it could be because there was a huge migration from Scotland to Germany before the 1700s so the people in Germany have Scottish blood and called themselves self German and that’s what data would come from. Alternatively if it’s because of DNA from really far back and it could be because Germany in Scotland used to be part of the same land
I have a good friend from Johannesburg that told me as a mixed man that Africans would not consider me black but colored or half-caste. Is this true? I am 60% African, 32% European and 8% Native American. My mother is African-American and my father is a native of Orocovis Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.
You have to understand something,south africa view on race is heavily influenced by apartheid,africa is a continent of 54 countries,there is not a single african way of labeling people,in most african countries outside of south africa a skintone is a secondary issue,the most important issue is tribe,region,language ,religion etc... In country where im come from(DR congo)like in most african countries we dont have tribe or ethnicity labeled after a skin colour or a physical apparence, We dont see urself as one people because of a particular skin stone,if you are a person with mixed heritage you will belong to the tribe of your DR congolese parent,and by your congolese name ,people will directly know which tribe you belong. And you have to know something african people before colonisation or slavery didnot see themselve as a part of a black race,dividing humanity by colour it is a western concept, That why in congo where im come from in everyday language we dont use the term white exclusively for europeans or the term black exclusively for africans Example me both of my parent are congolese,i have a brown skin sometimes people call me white, My brother have a very darkskin and people call him black, We use mostly the term black or white in the context of dark or lighskin,it is rarely use in a racial context. If you come in my city kinshasa(capital city of Dr congo) You learn lingala,you will be seen as a congolese no one will see as a foreigner.
England is mixed Germanic and Celtic. Scotland is moreso celtic but varies by region. Most of the europeans in the early days of the Cape colony were Dutch, German and French.

I read that the main component of the colored ones is khoisan and the first test I see already escapes that, I am pardo (mixed) from Brazil, and the colored ones are much more mixed than us, our main component is European 65% on average
You’re right😀 majority of our dna is said to come from the Khoisan people 😀 but we are extremely diverse so then % thereof varies greatly from one individual to the next 😀
Khoi and San people were considered a sub group along with Indians and other Asians but they aren't mixed. Some Khoi and San communities are reestablishing their native identities and are distancing themselves from Coloureds. Mixed race Coloureds are usually Cape Coloured, Cape Malay etc
Not everyone has khoisan genes as coloured is a term given to a non homogeneous group of mixed race people which could include any brown complected people from anywhere else in the world who decided to settle in SA during Apartheid.
@@carolhew73 I know, but the I know but there is research that claims to be the main component, after researched youself
You are so beautiful!! The most interesting dna test result I’ve seen so far
Thanks for sharing your results. It's really interesting to dig into these things.
I believe that Bantu people and Khoisan people are most mixed Race in Southern Africa, it makes sense because even if the Khoisan people were the first people in South Africa, still, they lived in Africa and Bantu people come from Africa.
I can’t with you 🥺🥺🥺 you’re so cuuuutteeee🥰🥰🥰
thank you Cleo !! xx
Really interesting video!! I'd like to do my ancestry test as well.
There’s a great book that explain in more details called the Lie of 1652 written by patrick t mallet . He explain our historian roots & as like what you mentioned about the people of the cape being one of the most diverse groups . One more fact is if you should have the opportunity to live / travel to Asia / Middle East / Polynesia islands etc you will understand & see our people’s origin . We are camisa people 🇿🇦❤️
Polynesia has nothing to do with africa
Im in the same boat.. Light skinned,curly light brown hair and green eyes.. People think Im white but I come from a long line of coloureds..
Very interesting. Your bubbly personality is so cute 😬
Very interesting. I’m from the US, but I would be considered coloured in SA as well I suppose. I’m mainly English, Irish, German (~75%), Nigerian, and Congolese (25%). Those are the big ones of the dozen or so ethnicities I have. So, you are not alone by any means.
Germanic result also includes the Netherlands.
It's not too surprising that colored people have a significant amount of Indian DNA, a lot of Indians came to South Africa when both countries were part of the mighty British empire
This is really cool. So you are basically half European, one quarter Khoi and San, and one quarter the rest of the world. What a beautiful mix.
I don't get where some of her ancestry comes from. I can understand that she has Bantu and European DNA but where the hell is the Melanesian and Iranian ancestry from.
@@bhka6423 melanesian from her South East Asian side and Iranian from her indian side
Many coloured people in South Africa have not only white and black, but South Asian ancestry as well. So it would be South Asian ancestors with admixture from those regions.
@@mikailm6934 indians aren't Iranians
@@bangmyguntilliseethepinbro4899 they have Neolithic Iran farmers(Indus Valley civilisation) and indo-iranian ancestry just like Iranians so depending on the DNA test, Indian DNA can show up as partially Iranian. Remember than the names companies give to their different DNA components are arbitraty
So cool Carin well done. I am coloured and Ive been wanting to know what tribes and clans I'm connected to both sides black and white. I know for sure that my maternal great grandmother was griqua, I'd like to understand a bit more about it, my aunt in Cape Town said she was of the khoi people, then my great grandfather was black, but I don't know if he was Xhosa, Tswana? The black people from Cape Town what majority are they? White side on my father's side were Scots, we even had the surname Lakey because my father grew up in his grandmother's house. My paternal aunt mentioned some French descent too but we'll never know. Then there's some Malay too. I just love it! It's lit 😂
Black people from Cape Town are mostly Xhosa ;)
I am also coloured and in my country 🇳🇦 there are also a group called basters they look more white and life in their own town named Rehoboth
Wow you seem like such a lovely person, its really nice watching your video. Please make more :)
Cool results.
Wow you‘re more german than me 😂 i only have 11% 😅
thank you so much :) xx I was really surprised by my results :)
I have 16😂😂
coloured people in south africa are from all around the world, so interesting ahha
Yeah mmm.... latelly, I entered in the profile of a SA company. They mentioned that the have x% y% z% "while" "black" and "colour" employees, of course: wow: they are still racist? and also, I have no idea who the "ppl of colour" are. This is still insane, classifying people by the colour, as crayons. My kid has friends from a various colours from pale to dark brown and they are totally "color blind", they do not care about the "color" of the friends, is an unexsistent parameter.
How crazy world it would be if our son would identify as "white" and his friend as a "person of colour"
I’m not South African, but how I’d love to do a DNA test. I’m mixed of South Asian, Central Asian, French, Celtic and English ancestry. My half brother did a DNA test and we figured out that my Mum who was raised English isn’t as English as we thought, looking at the results she turned out to be more French and Welsh than English.
I'm colored as well. I think I should be labeled as South African even though I'm not. My maternal grandmother was from South Africa, and boy, she was hella mixed as well. She was Dutch, Malaysian, Indian, British, and possibly some African. My paternal grandmother was 100% Iberian based on my Dad. Both of my grandfathers are mostly Asians.
I'm excited to see my results soon!
how you colored
U can't be just colored just bcz u mixed its more than tht IL let colored ppl explain
You look really cool and awesome video! :D
thank you so much ! :)x
Im apache chiricahua from Hollywood not mixed just came back 100% native american from 🇲🇽🌎🇺🇸 you a very cute girl nizhoni beautiful
Looks like I need to an ancestry check too 😁..Cool video, Carin.
you definitely should! thank you so much xx
You are beautiful.
Really interesting thank you for sharing 😘
Hey She Wolf ♥️ thank you so so much xx
I loved this! So nice to hear a Cape Coloured accent :). Which test did you do? I am Cape Coloured, living in the Netherlands and my son, 13 with Dutch father, wants to do a DNA test so I reckon: fun for the whole family 😂😂😂.
Hey 😀 thank you so much xx I did the AncestryDNA test which is available for purchase from AncestryDNA.com. If they don’t ship to your country , there is another one you can do called 23andMe😀 I think it would be so much fun!! - I’m the only one in my family who has done it so far but it’s been so cool discussing my results with my parents so I can only imagine how nice it would be for your whole family to do 💜😀😀
It’s so interesting!! I love it, Carin ♥️
thank you!!
7:10 omg It's strange they mix maps of Indonesia with melanesia. In fact, only the easternmost island of Indonesia is referred to as melanesia. Their features are very different from those of western Indonesia.
Wow, I had no idea 😀 thank you so much x
Hey, Thanks for this. I'll be doing mine soon. I'm a tad surprised that you only 23 % Khoi-San. Your parents must probably have recent European parents. Cool.
Hey Rodger Brown :) we know that my mother has European grandparents - thank you so much for watching :)
I believe we are all mixed - starting from Adam and Eve, so all human family mixed from the beginning. Only thru time, politics and geography have "races" become consolidated and somewhat homogeneous. We are oh so very much more alike than we are different. Congrats, young lady, you are a beautiful part of the world.
This is so true!! thank you so so much for watching xx
We will all become Khoi san again 😉
@Derek Chauvin 🤦
@@dcollop3543 no u won't
@Derek Chauvin my problem is that u are talking nonsense if u are west African then be proud and stop claiming foreign ancestry
Enjoyed this video. I'm mixed also, from United States and plan to take this test.
Can't wait to unwrap what secrets are hiding in my DNA 😀👍✈
Yeah you must go I'm also mix damn 16%German
Its really worth taking! I enjoyed exploring my results :)
Newsflash: I've researched my family tree mainly online since 2011 : all Afrikaners and those with Afrikaner ancestry(including me) have slave and/or non European colonial ancestors even if we look totally European. A lot of us have nice summer tans, now l know why! My mother's oldest known direct female ancestor is slave Catharina van Malabar through her Naude mother. 3 female cousins' mtDNA triangulates at U2c1, most common in India, Pakistan & Afghanistan. Malabar= modern day Kerala, SW India. My granny would be horrified if she'd hung around long enough for me to spill the beans! My father's paternal Bosman grandmother was sort of biracial- her mother had a long line of van de Kaap ancestors. I was already past 50 when l got hold of the family photos. One of 2 shows my Bosman GGmother & Scotsman Knox GGfather at their Harrington St, Cape Town abode presumably, with an elegant, confident lndian - looking man standing between their chairs. Close examination shows ears like my grandfather's & mine and a slightly raised left eyebrow just like Ggranny next to him & my father's old ID pic. GGpop, his wife and her brother Petrus Jacobus aka Peter John Bosman were all bookbinders. His skin, even in a monochrome photo, was considerably darker than my GGmother's. I knew the companion picture with just my GGparents in the same chairs & 2 oldest sons but l suspect the other picture was kept hidden from us children to avoid difficult questions, like my sister in law: " who's that dude in the middle?" after l posted it on FaceBook(she proudly proclaims herself 1/8 coloured BTW). Coincidentally my son & his 3 Knox cousins live up the road in the same street at the moment! Now l know where my deep tan comes from(other than a half Italian girl, l was the darkest in my all 'European' high school class) and the black hair now growing out of my ears(the rest is mostly grey). My 2 beautiful sisters have little dark moustaches, getting quite indignant when l crassly pointed it out, haha.
We enjoyed doing ours! Isn't it wonderful to find out... ❤
You are so pretty! 😍 Actually i expected mostly Europe (Dutch, Germany) + a little Khoisan. You know whats fun? i am 100% germanic and i'm kinda darker than you 😅😅 except blue eyes + i have straight hair.
That because of your turkish roots or siberian most germans have native american as well aka SAMMIS LOOK THEM UP
@@officialVozie100are you dumb?😂😂.
I wish every coloured person had the opportunity to take this test. I wouldn't take it because it would be totally uninteresting. I'm British and my ancestors were British.
And why are u not in Britain?
@@MIA-ti7pg I am in Britain
@@chesterdonnelly1212 great
I also want to take it ,my grandma is coloured & my dad is Zulu & Swati & my family is very mixed,there's blacks,whites and indians so clearly I'm not a pure race myself
Great vid. I did a Myheritage Dna test and ja nee as a Coloured I also have quite a diverse mix. Travel goals 😎😁
How did you receive the kit? I thought AncestryDNA doesn't send to SA? I'm keen to do their test to compare
Justin dV I know right 😂 I want to visit all the country’s that came up. I ordered the test while I was in America but received my results when I was back home 😀 unfortunately they don’t ship to SA which really sucks
Oh Gosh! I was expecting you to be part East Asian. Thanks for sharing your beautiful results.
Her eyes yes? Her Khoi ancestry may play a part in it, they are also known to have eyes with an epicanthic fold.
Your gorgeous curly hair gave it away.
You are the most mixted person i ever know! 🌍
Netherlands/Holland ALSO " Germanic Europe
your hair soo beautiful and and love your accent
Very interesting, what most people don't realize is that most South Africans are somewhat mixed race whether that be black white or "colored"
Nope,
True
What I've noticed about most colored DNA results is that they always skip over the Bantu part and over emphasize the Hunger gatherer portion of their DNA. Interesting
😂
🤦♂️
@Pelo MK Why do I see you in every comment section of videos that's even remotely about coloured people? Always negative too??
@Asingamaanda Makhuvha just like people feel sorry for people who make fools of themselves because they don't understand the differences between the bantu(nguni people) and the hunter gatherers original peoples of SA, the Khoisan. Learn which group form the basis of the coloured people. Which group met the colonisers in the cape area when they first arrived.
@Asingamaanda Makhuvha that is a generalisation you and the other poster decided to make based on a single video here. You again make an assumption about what my race is. Ignorance and spite are what will bring SA down.
Germanian means netherlands germanany area in ancient Europe even anglo saxons that invaded England was also germanic
This is something that I have to do!! Like the hair! Looks like my daughters... Maybe we family?????????????????? lmk
Beautiful results!
NexVLOGS thank you so much 😀😀
@@carinlewis8858 I am from Spain and I have 0,50% South African DNA. No idea where it comes from but I love it !
I watched your video lmao it was so entertaining.

@@dawuddawah no u don't
love your accent
Thank you so much 😀😊 x
My great great great great grandfather came to south African as missionary he was from Prussia.Berlin,your DNA is very interesting,thank you for sharing .Your a beautiful mix of people from all over the world.my grandfather from Prussia married Scottish .thank you hay👋💕🕊️buy
Hello Carin. Can also read about the German settlers west of Namibia. Love South Africans
I think you're really sweet ane nice and your ancestry is amazing !
Sorry for all the spelling and grammatical mistakes - my fingers do their own thing and then I forget to check before posting LOL
So now you know why you look dutch, most dutch have family from indonesia :)
The Dutch, along with Germans and French were the first europeans in South Africa.
You look like a Zulu Girl name Zinhle Nxumalo she’s also light skinned and beautiful and you also smile like her ❤️🤗
Thank you I've been waiting for such a vid
thank you so much for watching :)
Wow that's the most diverse dna results ive seen. South africans are really mixed
South Africans?
@@MIA-ti7pg that's what I said right?
Those mixed ppl are a minority so how are u gonna say south Africans as a whole are mixed??
@@candyxox your right
@@MIA-ti7pg be a use a lot of the mix coloureds (khoi and San) intermarried with the Bantu.Some were raped by their white and Indian masters.. Meaning all of us need to take DNA tests. White. Black Coloured. Indian
i cant belive you have an channel
hahaha I know, me too !! xx
Amazing, I love South Africa’s heritage! We are one big rainbow nation!! 🌈❤️🧬🙌🏼
No we not.
No we are not , plz leave our continent in peace
You forgotten to say we r beautiful ask John Lomu she saw our sister he cried 1st time open his mouth marry me that's south African beauty power
Southeast Asia, the malays 😮 make sense, the british n the dutch brought the the rebel group from malaysia n indonesia. Pretty accurate 👍🏻
Nice results though :D Did this test too (german)
got 57% germanic europe, 36% english and rest norwegian
Thank you :)) x wow, that's really interesting!!
In what country you live?
Dutch people are Germanic peoples sweetheart. They are part of the Germanic European group of people, as are Germans and Austrians as well, of course.
I honestly love this video.
But looking at this, African genes must be incredibly strong.
To think you have a lot of _"straight hair genes"_ in your gene pool, but throw in a little African genes, and the hair curls immediately.
Straight hair genes are more in East Asian people, lots of whites have curly hair although not as curly as hers.
Straight hair genes are generally recessive
She is an African
Dutch people are a Germanic ethnic group. Germanic includes German and Dutch
That's interesting they still use the word coloured to describe people of mixed heritage in your country. Here in the US, the word "colored" is a derogatory word. Thanks for sharing your experience.!
Who cares??? The USA isnt the entire world nobody cares about your irrelevant feelings im tired of americans stikinng their stupid views in every country
Coloured it’s a culture, they are from South Africa
The US always manages to make everything eventually derogatory.
@@david-arthur8166 its an ethnicity
Germatic doesnt mean German
Netherlands is included in Germatic
Fantastic Video!
hey Annie :), thank you so much xx
Quick question... Before colonisers came to SA,what did "Coloured" people identify as and what language did they speak? We can all agree English and Afrikaans are language's of colonisers🤔
I may be incorrect, and I'm sorry for that but I don't think Coloured people existed before they came. Aren't Coloured people a mixture of Native South African and European? If Europeans weren't in SA yet, how would Coloured people exist?
@@Daphne-xj9kqit is more of a generalised term that disgarded the roots and histories of many different groups. You can find more on it on the camissa website but it doesn’t necessarily mean mixed between native and white and many other native groups were sort of thrown in there aswell when the term first became used
Thanks for sharing. Im also coloured and would love to do the test. I find it so interesting being mixed. I love it❤
you're beautiful!
Oh my gosh ! Thank you so much Ayola ♥️
@@carinlewis8858 its a pleasure!
baie interesant, ek kan nie wag om my dna te doen nie, jy lyk mooi nes my seun.
Hey Grace Jegels - Dankie! ♥️ 😀
Love this video...
Thank you so much 😊
I love the accent
Thank you 😀
Because it’s based on data from other people it could be because there was a huge migration from Scotland to Germany before the 1700s so the people in Germany have Scottish blood and called themselves self German and that’s what data would come from. Alternatively if it’s because of DNA from really far back and it could be because Germany in Scotland used to be part of the same land
Like how I say I’m from South Africa and I am South African and so are my ancestors for 100s of years but genetically I’m Dutch and French etc etc ect
I have a good friend from Johannesburg that told me as a mixed man that Africans would not consider me black but colored or half-caste. Is this true? I am 60% African, 32% European and 8% Native American. My mother is African-American and my father is a native of Orocovis Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.
Probably, depending on what you look like. However, your accent would mark you as American. So most would probably consider you black American
You have to understand something,south africa view on race is heavily influenced by apartheid,africa is a continent of 54 countries,there is not a single african way of labeling people,in most african countries outside of south africa a skintone is a secondary issue,the most important issue is tribe,region,language ,religion etc...
In country where im come from(DR congo)like in most african countries we dont have tribe or ethnicity labeled after a skin colour or a physical apparence,
We dont see urself as one people because of a particular skin stone,if you are a person with mixed heritage you will belong to the tribe of your DR congolese parent,and by your congolese name ,people will directly know which tribe you belong.
And you have to know something african people before colonisation or slavery didnot see themselve as a part of a black race,dividing humanity by colour it is a western concept,
That why in congo where im come from in everyday language we dont use the term white exclusively for europeans or the term black exclusively for africans
Example me both of my parent are congolese,i have a brown skin sometimes people call me white,
My brother have a very darkskin and people call him black,
We use mostly the term black or white in the context of dark or lighskin,it is rarely use in a racial context.
If you come in my city kinshasa(capital city of Dr congo)
You learn lingala,you will be seen as a congolese no one will see as a foreigner.
I wouldn’t consider you coloured
More likely colored in south africa,
The netherlands = Germanic...lol as is england, germany and scandinavia.. and even parts of scotland..lol
England is mixed Germanic and Celtic. Scotland is moreso celtic but varies by region.
Most of the europeans in the early days of the Cape colony were Dutch, German and French.
Please send a copy of this video to Trevor Noah. That boy is so ignorant about where Coloured people ancestry is from.
While Highland Scots are of Celtic (Gaelic) descent, Lowland Scots are descended from people of Germanic stock.
Hi Carin,
Link to order the kit?
hi Kerwin, you can order the kit on AncestryDna.com. I'm not sure if they ship to SA yet but as soon as I find out, I will let you know :) thank you so much for watching xx
Hey betting on belo :), I am currently based in SA but i ordered the test while I was in America. I know there are other companies based in SA though that offer a similar service😀 there have been a few comments on this video where people have recommended companies they have used😀 I’ll be sure to let you know when ancestrydna adds South Africa to the countries they ship too xx thank you for watching
