When I did the test a few years back... I had an identity crisis because I didn’t expect the results I got. I expected to be mainly African but turns out I am more European. But nonetheless it’s nice to know where I am from. And now I check with confidence white and black race in forms lol
Wow! I bet that was quite a shock. I’m glad you got to know though☺️ thank you for sharing!
Did you have some native too? Based on your last name
You may have been a little more white because your black side carries some white dna because of slavery. Africans were brought to the americas
@@thyrien1088 yup everyone is mix one way or another.
I’m going through that now... I expected to be fully white based on family history. I do look biracial but I wasn’t expecting to actually come out biracial. I came out 40% African ancestry.
You have a very versatile look. I feel like you could easily pass as everything from Southern Italian/Sicilian to North African and Arab to Latina. Cool results!
not arab or north african , or south european , she pass very well in south america.
@@funnysungames546 nah I’ve seen Moroccans that look like her when I went there I’m from Nigeria and she def won’t pass as black lol she is too mixed looking
@@GoldenBoyDims you are nigerian not morrocan thats why you dont have any idea about how morrocans look like, even mixed morrocansn dont look like her ,they have a diferent phenotypes .you crealy liying nigerian girl
@@funnysungames546 I live in France. A lot of Maghrebis look like her.
@@manjeandotjan368 You are liying .
Bre I’m so excited that you did yours. I too find all of it so fascinating... I did mine a few years ago and I am just as mixed up as you and I was super surprised to find out that I DO have Asian. Chinese and Vietnamese about 14%. We found out some serious family secrets with my results!! 👀
Wow!!! Haha that is so cool. A beautiful mix for sure😍
I'm 83,1% Greek
8,6% South Italian
6,4% Spain
and 2,9% from Latvia.
I mean your last name makes it obvious
Nice bro
@@P03ticJustice Names Can be dropped, picked up, changed, adopted, corrupted etc so yeah not a very accurate pointer of ancestry especially no where near as DNA test
Absolutely have your great-grandmother take this test, if you can. Her results will show a wealth of knowledge that most people could only dream of. Even though you've taken your test, it is no replacement for the results that you can get from her or whichever oldest family members you can get to take the test. All my grandparents passed away either before I was born or shortly after. I so wish I could get more information from them. Please don't pass up this opportunity.
I took two DNA tests and the results were no surprise, 100% Eastern European Jewish. Welcome to the family! ☺️
Literally pure Ashkenazi Jew
I just received my DNA test results & posting my video tomorrow!! I can't wait to share mine!
You’re both so cute ! I love the pbs finding my roots episodes 🙌🏽💗 we’re all connected of course it it’s neat to see specifically what the beautiful mixture is ☺️ thanks for sharing 🌹
thank you for watching❤️ we really all are connected!
Whoo! You’re 45% British. Welcome to the club ✌️
Thank you for your upload!! I’m 60% England, 23% Scotland 12% Ireland, 3% Norway and 2% Sweden. Great video! Always lovin the AncestryDNA videos!!! Thank so much for the up load.
You two are such a gorgeous couple!!! Thanks for sharing your results. I’ve been curious about doing this and I might just take the plunge! 😊
I loved it!! Thank you for sharing with us, I can't wait to do it myself!
I'm mixed too and was just told that I'm part black and white. Took the test and was shocked by the results. Like your results it showed a lot of places in both Africa and Europe. I also found out that I have a great grandfather that came from Poland and he had Jewish ancestry.
How can you just find out you're BLACK and White
I don't agree she dosen't look Italian and she dosen't look north African
Love the video. Thanks for sharing guys!
Thank You!! Cant wait to do this
Beautiful mix you have.
My results estimate are (August 2020):
Nigeria 35%
Benin & Togo 19%
Mali 13%
Cameroon, Congo & Western Bantu Peoples 10%
Ivory Coast & Ghana 5%
Southern India 8%
Northern India 4%
England & Northwestern Europe 4%
Wales 2%
But how can you get such results when some of those African countries did not exist not too long ago. This test is such a scam.
this is so intriguing!i want to try it too!!thanks for this cool video!
Just keep in mind that basically the test pulls random bits of your DNA per test that match with others (so if you took another test with the same company it would match a little differently) and your results are only based on that one company's database and their algorithms at the time. Your results change and update a bit here and there as their database grows and their algorithms are tweaked.
Great mix! You are beautiful!
I just ordered a kit from Ancestry. I've been really wishy washy about getting one but finally said why not. My mom was always told she is a Heinz57. My dad was told he comes from an English and Scotch Irish line of family. I'm supposed to receive my kit today or tomorrow. Guess we will see.
Found my formerly childless 70 yr old uncle a 37 yr old daughter he never knew existed!! But to make it even more wild, we all grew up in the same small NY neighborhood!! She was adopted by a wonderful couple who also lived in the same neighborhood. I’ve know her forever, not well because she’s younger than I am, so we ran in different crowds. But I’ve seen her in the neighborhood and mingled with her at all the neighborhood parties and events. She was good friends with a friend of mines younger sister!! She and her dad must have passed each other in the street thousands of times before he moved to Florida! This development occurred and I connected them about 3 years ago and they’ve developed a bond and love one another like no time passed at all. ♥️
That's awesome
Welcome to the fam!!
I have done ancestrydna test aswell as ftdna, myheritage and 23andme. I love tracing my family history.
Thanks Bre, what a great video ;-) Now that you have your DNA results, I'd love to see you do a review of DNA Romance ;-)
It’s always good to know where you came from! I also did ancestry some years ago and the results were a blessing many things I didn’t expect ❤❤
My sister and I, as well as our mom, have taken the test and it’s interesting to see the differences in %s of what we inherited. These %s have changed, and some groups have disappeared entirely from our results , in the two-three years since we took our tests as Ancestry’s reference samples grow/expand. I am roughly a 50/50 mix of mom and dad (per my Ancestry DNA results) , my dad’s side is Ukrainian (49%) my mom’s side is Scottish (34%) and English(2%). It also picked up 🇮🇪 (5%), Wales (2%), and German (8%)but as England was invaded by what we would now call Germans, and what we now call Ukraine was at the time that my great grandparents (on both sides of my dad’s family) moved to Canada was part of the Australian-Hungarian Empire it is difficult to know how the Germanic portions split. My sister and my mom’s maternal cousin both picked up 2-3 % European Jewish which sort of makes sense since from the research I have done for my mom’s father’s side his mom’s family lived in the East End of London at a time when it had a larger Jewish population. My 2x great-grandmother’s passport shows that she had dark hair, and dark brown eyes.
I took the test more to see if I could solve the mystery of who my dad’s paternal grandfather was, because that is something we have never known. I am pretty sure that I have figured out who it was because I show as matched to several people that don’t show as possible matches to either his mother’s side (my dad’s uncle took the test, as have several of his cousins on that side) or his paternal grandmother’s side where other cousins have taken the test. When I added the relative links of the matches to my tree it brought up a photo of that person’s grandmother which is the spitting image of my grandfather’s younger sister.
It showed my ancestors settled in Ontario which I sort of knew as they and their friends helped found a small town(Fergus) .
You are right Ancestry tree research is addictive, especially when you are able to solve family mysteries.
Sounds like my mom's side, they mostly ended up in Windsor-Essex, where from is a guess, no records of them even coming over.
You're actually exactly 50% mom and 50% dad. You just don't get the same 50% from each that a sibling does. It's your grandparents DNA that got recombined by each of your parents when they made you.
I got my results today. I expected to get close to 100% European Jewish. I got 51% European Jewish. I got about 40% African (Cameroon and Nigeria make up most of that). Needless to say, it was a huge surprise.
Woah!!! That is so cool. Thank you for sharing🙏🏽❤️
did you ever wonder based on your appearance if you were part black also where is your European jewish from
TheLauren1113, your story reminds me of my Dad in reverse--from an African American family, but through DNA testing my sister and I found his biological, Jewish father. I know of another woman who has had an experience similar to yours--Lacey Schwartz. She made a documentary about it, Little White Lie.
@@lizzie7999 I wondered but I thought my grandmother may have cheated and thought if there was any surprise, I would get 25% Spanish. However I was not expecting African. That said, most people assume I am mixed black or Afro Latina. I just didn’t see it.
Surely when you looked at your features in the mirror and your family features/grandparent(s) you must have seen some african features if you are 40%... surely at least the hair texture might have been a clue.
I did the dna test too and was so happy that I did it.
Such a beautiful mix! 😻🌸
That’s awesome your parents allowed you to embrace your full multi-ethnic background. Many times biracial people (in the US) are forced to pick a side or pigeon-holed into one group.
Depends where you live.
Yeah, what I've seen throughout my life in America, is that almost every mixed black person feels they MUST identify with only the black side and it's really sad to disrespect your white family like that. They raised you, nurtured and loved you and you're gonna do them like that? (Lookin at you Alicia Keyes and Beyonce!)
@@flamerollerx01 lmao what? What's wrong with Alicia keys and Beyoncé, and how did they "pick a side"?
Lol wait what? 😂
@@flamerollerx01 both of beyonces parents are black.
Great video!! You are so pretty!
I feel the same way about the research on there...glad to know I'm not the only one 🙂. Plus If there is some crazy person in my family that needs to be locked up,, I want them to be found.
This was super cool!
My y-haplogroup is not so old : 2,600 years. Its from Spain north of the Ebro river. 2200 years ago, my ancestors from there used a Phoenician script for writing their Iberian language. That being said, I only have 5% Iberian DNA mostly through a Portuguese ancestor from the 17th century. Over 2000 years my lineage migrated slowly from Spain to Provence to Italy and then back to France to finally end up in French Canada. Now I'm mostly a mix from France and the British Isles.
This is a most interesting topic. I did AncestryDNA and I’m am an American 🇺🇸 first of all. This is my country.
Now AncestryDNA is 26 % Scotland,25% Nigerian,18% Benin Togo, 11% Cameroon,Congo,and western Bantu
5% Mali,5% Ghana and Ivory Coast, 3% Wales,England, ..... in the end we are all human beings living on this earth.
Wow!💕
Amazing!
the scottish is probably tied with the norwegian! like vikings and all that lot, im doing a dna test soon, my family on my dad's side is Clan Gunn and Clan Mackay, who have norse roots.
That’s why you two are beautiful. And I’m sure it’s better for genes too.
Beautiful results for a great couple.
I have always had those questions asked of me. I took the Ancestry DNA to answer once and for all the stories that I had heard whispered growing up. I got my confirmation. FTR 7/8 Irish/UK/euro & 1/8 Mauritian Creole. The DNA results back that up, obv broken further down.
Oh my goodness you are so gorgeous to be honest I Couldn’t even focus on what ethnicity you are from how beautiful you look
I'm Portuguese but my test results were:
80% Portugal
5% Spain
5% France
4% Irish
2% North African
2% Senegal
2% Italian
Wow cool results
Some reviews I saw recently said that the test results for AncestryDNA are taking a very long time. Like some people were saying they sent their kit in around November 2020 and still haven’t gotten it and it’s March 2021. Is this what’s happening for anyone else? How long did yours take to receive?
I received my kit in December 2020 and received results in March 2021!
We have verrryy similar mixtures! Almost down to a T, even the 1-2% Jewish as well! Our early settlers are also from the exact same two areas!
I, too, have family that warned about giving DNA to these companies. But seriously, people, have you had a medical, surgical or dental procedure done lately? Did they ask you to sign any kind of waiver regarding what happens to your tissue? What makes you think they don't already have your DNA? I am addicted to Ancestry and My Heritage. Family is fascinating.
My friend is biracial and her results were pretty much exactly the same as yours except the ratio was different. A few months later the results of changed and the Jewish was no longer there and she now has Swedish instead.
As they add more people to their data bases the results change so is not 100%. The heritage info isn't accurate science but more of a strong hunch based on where the people are from that you share dna with.
@@lahawk2931 it’s basically make believe the changes that happen are too drastic the sample size they have is too small to make accurate predictions
I am glad you pointed out that in today's age, someone knows what we are doing. Also, for someone that will not send in their DNA for they are afraid. If someone wanted you DNA they could get it very easily, they just need to follow you for a few days.
Really cool! I knew you were part German when you said Oma XD
I thought she was Dutch lol
My dad was from North Carolina and I have a similar mix of European and African, but mostly Scotland and England with some Camaroon, Congo, and Nigeria. Early North and South Carolina settlers.
Carolinas have lots of redheads?
@@kikidla11 probably not. I only spent a few summers there but was raised in Oregon. The Scottish may be from my mom's side but she looked more Irish. Most of my North Carolina cousins look Indian but all my uncles had British names. Early melting pot of the Americas.
@@dzinn901 Red-haired people are rare. Both Carolinas aren't very white states but I have always found that within their respective white populations both states had a relatively high percentage of redheaded people.
@@dzinn901 The two blondest states within their respective white populations are Minnesota and North Dakota. Just counting naturally blond people. If we include fakes ones then I think the southern states would have high percentages too.
A dozen years ago or so I did a DNA test thru MyftDNA and they continually refine it so keep going back to it online. A LOT has changed on mine since I originally sent it in. My DNA went from being a big blob over eastern Europe and the British Isles to being far more specific. So basically I am a big European mutt from the Baltic down to Romania then west to France and north to the British Isles with EVERYTHING in between.
I thought you were biracial until I saw this video! I’m getting my results back soon!🤎
DNA testing has led someone into my life and I'm currently waiting on my results to see if our connection is right. If DNA testing is right then he is my son that I did not know I had born in another country. Now I'm wondering whether or not he has any siblings born there...
Agree with you. They have the technology to do ALL what u said.
I just sent my DNA in to them a few days ago. I did my family tree on it yesterday and it pulled up that John Howland, one of the pilgrims that came on the Mayflower is my 10th Great Grandfather (my Dad's side) through my Grandmother. Then said Edward Doty who also came on the Mayflower is my 11th Great Grandfather on my Mom's side through my Grandfather. And lastly said President Franklin Pierce is my 4th Cousin 7x removed.
My ancestor fought in the Amerixan Revolution and I'm a great several times grandson of a President also.
Wow! 20% from my country Nigeria 🇳🇬 you have a new subscriber! Welcome Sister! 🇳🇬🇳🇬
You have beautiful facial features. I am glad you found out all about your ethnicities.
EUROPEAN GENES MAKE EVERYONE LOOK BEAUTIFUL...
@@dawnanderson9628 just stop with that lie. Too many humans on earth that are gorgeous with 0 percentage white genes, and are absolutely beautiful.
Super interesting!
Get your Oma and grandmother to do the test. It might help Oma.
I agree. If they can, get your oma and grandmother tested.
@@godisloveireland Isn't that a bit tautology? Oma = a grandmother right? At least in Dutch. Or is it a name?
@@axolotl-guy9801 oh yes you are probably right. I was just replying to the original poster of the message
@@godisloveireland yea i now i accidently tagged your name I to ment the orriginal poster sorry👍
Yes, I agree. Try and get what Grandparents and GreatGrand parents DNA you can get.. It makes searching and matching the DNA matches easier. It wasn't till I got my Grandmother's DNA, and my GrandAunt's I was able to make some of the connections to some of my DNA matches, some which was adopted that didn't even know..
I don’t know either of my real grandfathers on either side of my family and my dads side of the family has been very weird about even being around us lately so I have always wondered what they were and who they were
I am mixed
57% north european and 43% west african (caribbean) :)
38% Norwegian
29% Nigerian
9% Swedish
6% Cameroon
5% Benin/Togo
5% German
5% Finnish
2% Ivory Coast
1% Mali
Oh wow that is so surprising. Which country do you come from? (Were born in/ live in)
@@Anna-pj8te I think so too! I am from Norway. Mum is Norwegian and dad is Dominican from UK :)
@@Marisab96 hei, jeg er også norsk :)
@@Anna-pj8te haha kult! :)
First of all wow what a beautiful couple. Omg I thought he was Asian or Native American. Definitely native 🥰 beautiful mix
I’m 60.3% North and West Europe
30.1% Scottish and Irish
4.6% Finnish
3.0% Baltic
2% Ashkenazi Jewish
My parents did the dna test and combined they were
100%English 46%Danish and 39%Irish so where did my danish and English go??
I’ve been searching for these kind of videos for a while and yours was only one of two that I’ve come across with percentages similar to mine; nearly identical regionally. 😳 -been starting to think that I was alone in that regard lol
hi, I haven't taken a DNA test but what I believe I am is 31.25% Scottish, 18.75% Irish, 25% Ashkenazi Jewish from Russia, and 25% I don't know because my grandma is adopted. I would love to take a DNA test eventually and I wonder how my percentages would vary from what I believe.
also, I just wanted to say the story about your great-grandmother's father was cool but I did want to say since you are only 2 percent Jewish your great-great-grandfather may have been completely Jewish but it would make more sense if he was half based on your percentage (because you would share approximately 6.25% with him so 3.125% with his parents) but they only way to know would be if your great-grandmother took a DNA test
Wow!! Lots of cool mixtures it would be nice to see how you test! I believe you are right when it comes to my great great grandfather. It’s possible that he was half Jewish! Hopefully one day we will find out. Thanks for watching and sharing ❤️
@@brerook you're welcome 😊
All my ancestors were from north of the Alps. 😄
My results are:
40% Germanic Europe (Central & Northern Germany)
17% Eastern Europe & Russia
13% Sweden & Denmark
12% Ireland
10% England & Northwestern Europe
4% Baltics
2% Scotland
2% Wales
Hey fellow Norwegian and German here as well. My Dads dad came here straight from Norway.
Congrats !!! 35 percent subsaharian african and 65 percent european! great results , thats shows your beautiful mix! your beauty is unique
Test your Grandma/ Great Grandma!!! What a treasure for so many reasons
This past year for Christmas, I bought myself an ansestry dna test.
My results are as follows...
Scotland 43% (Very surprising)
England/Northwestern Europe 27%
Germanic Europe 10%
Norway 8%
Sweden 7%
Wales 3%
Ireland 2%
I was always told I was German and English.
Great video!
We both have French surnames. My DNA test didn’t show French like yours. I’m wondering if My Heritage lumps English with French due to conquest and migration. I’ve got other French surnames in my family tree. Cool mix, btw.
France is only 20.7 miles from England so possibly your French DNA could be showing under your England result? Also many French Protestants moved to England so they wouldn’t be murdered by Catholics in their native France. Most French people assimilated into English society very early on. Their descendants would now mainly have English DNA but many of them have retained their French surnames. Either way you’ve got cool DNA. 75% of your DNA is of the British Isles so you’re 75% British.✌️
Would you consider having your great grandma dna tested? The story of her father possibly being Jewish is fascinating!
Yes!!!
I too am addicted to a sentry!!! Hours slip by...I feel like a detective.
Right?! It’s so exhilarating!!! Glad you can agree🥰
Every test will show somewhat different results. I have tested with, or transfered results from, FTDNA, Ancestry, My Heritage, LivingDNA, Insitome (defunked), Helix, 23 & Me, probably others. My paper Geneaology trail confirms most of it.
Helix tests the whole Exome (most DNA) they picked up 9% Basque (my wife 11%). FTDNA's updated results now list 2% Basque. LivingDNA (UK) does a good breakdown of UK regions! (the basque seems to connect, way back, with Scotts & Irish).
Your a beautiful mix genes♥️😍
You and I have a lot of the same ethnicities just in different percentages. That Scotland percentage could also still be England or Northern Ireland. I'm seeing a lot of people online where this is the case. The estimates will change over time. My highest percentage went from Scandinavian to Irish, to English, and now Scotland. When I actually did my family tree most of my ancestors were from Southern England, Northern Ireland, Germany, Nigerian, and Congo.
How long did it take for your percentages to change? I’m so curious to know how a larger pool of genetic information helps narrow down personal results... 🧐
@@yrook7861 The testing companies update their results usually about once per year or so. The changes I saw were over multiple years of having the accounts.
I’m a bit like you: a nice mixture of all sorts including some Arawak Indian from Guyana! My husband did his and he’s 100% Irish/British/Scottish so he felt a bit boring compared to me 😂 You’re a beautiful American!
I am mixed but had 8 ethnicities: mostly North African, nigerian, south Italian. Scotland, west europe, Spanish , etc
My results have changed quite a bit from when I first got them 2 years ago. I'm curious to see how you're will change as more info becomes available. Mine said 3% south east asian and 20% german at first and now the asian is gone and the german is down to like 5%. So hold on! Now the majority is english and irish.
They do change a bit fairly regularly as their database grows and they tweak their algorithms.
I want to do one!
Nice score!
One of the words that is next to ethnicity and just as big is the word "estimates." One should not take the results they provide as fact. My initial results from 2017 gave me 0% British, yet my dad's DNA results showed he was 88% British. It is impossible to get 50% of dad's DNA and not get a droplet of British. Over time, as more tests are done, the DNA markers used to determine a region where ancestors may have settled helps refine the ethnicity "estimates" but they are still a dart being thrown at a dart board. Just better aim this time.
Always exiting watching these. I got 100% Asia. But divided In West, East, North and South.
Your hair is beautiful
That's funny, as soon as I saw you I though "British" and possibly some "French." But it's fair to say you've got a whole lot more going on too: I guess it's easier to notice the bits that are most familar to you, eh!
I can agree with the fact that it’s extremely addicting! Finally another person who understands! Can we be friends please lol.. nobody in my family seems to be interested.. they think I’m a bit weird to be getting sentimental about my great grandmothers baby’s that died really young… but thinking about those baby’s that nobody’s thought about in so long.. imagining the pain of losing their baby.. it’s sad.. I also found a great aunt with 2 marriage records with different husbands within two years but no death or divorce records for the first husband… she was also really young… so I wonder if it was a secret marriage.. I asked and nobody knew.. I smell scandal😂
Wow interesting family history can’t wait to see my story
Your DNA ethnicity results will always change but your DNA make you are who you are if your mum and dad 🙏🏿👌🏿
How amazing!
This is the first video of yours I've watched. I think it was suggested to me because I've watched a lot of DNA videos, haha. You and your husband are adorable. :) I did a DNA test myself about 2-3 years ago. I was expecting lots of British Isles and Scandinavia, which I got. I was actually super stoked to get some Benin/Togo results, too. I knew I was a "mutt" of European countries, but it felt really cool, as "white" as I look, to find a touch of another continent in there! Although... it's also a bit sad, because I'm guessing I don't have it for happy reasons. History is a complicated, and not always positive, thing.
1oo% Beautiful beings! 💫
You and your boyfriend are goals, so pretty.
Beautiful, poised, warm, young woman
That mix gave you a symmetric face.. very Pretty . :)
No.
I have seen a DNA reaction video with someone who is 100% Native American. There was another too I don't remember the ancestry. As for me, there are 11 and my tree looks Irish and French Canadian in the records. I have 0 French Canadian and three of my four grandparents are from there.
i will take the dna test soon
Really doesn't matter how she looks like ...she is gorgeous !!!
I'm from Norhern Italy and I can definitely see the "Italian" in you! I was sure you were part Italian before you even spoke 😉
You are a beautiful mix.
How about if you're trying to find out who your real father was and his family? How would you get in contact with them?
You are stunning 😍 congratulations, part Jewish ✡, part Hebrew, part Canaanite, part Natufian. You got a bit of the Southern Levant. Represent. I'm 50 percent.
? She got Palestinian
Your ethnicities are very similar to mine!!!!! Amazing!!!!
Happy to know you are from Nigeria
