      English is a bastard offspring of old English, Roman, French, German, Danish and Scandinavian to name but a few.
      To be Hispanic, means yes you do kinda have to speak spanish as it's in the name.

    The thing about the changes in the website is that the results actually become more and more accurate over time. Obviously your actual dna never changes but the database in their pool of info continues to grow as people submit their dna, so they will update yours to become more and more accurate and honed in over time! Super cool

      @nunyabiznez6381 Před 3 lety +6

      That is so true though recently Ancestry changed the way they report and they don't report any trace dna under 2%. I predicted 1.5% Native American but they don't show any for me. My cousin who has twice as much as me on paper shows 3% which makes sense. 23andme shows a higher resolution (down to 0.1%) which means they are more detailed but they have only tested 10 million people whereas Ancestry has tested 16 million meaning Ancestry has a higher database so their information, while a lower resolution, is more accurate. Originally Ancestry would only report a region so you might get "European" or "Sub-Saharan African" or "Western Asia" etc. Now they are down to "England" "Ireland" "Kenyan" "Iranian" etc. Mine told me the counties in Ireland and what part of Massachusetts my ancestors were from for the last 200 years which is pretty good but they could not tell me about my Spanish or Native American ancestors from 400 years ago. The best thing for anyone to do is to actually go to each dna testing web site and do them all. This would come to maybe half a dozen tests and that will give you a better and more accurate picture. If you have five different dna tests and one says 7%- 10% Nigerian and another says 12% Nigerian and a third says between 3% and 11% Nigerian and yet another says between 9% and 14% Nigerian and the last one says 12%-17% Nigerian then you can reasonably say you are most likely around 10%-12% Nigerian. five years from now they will all update the accuracy and you might see 11.2% Nigerian.

It seems to be the most detailed, even showing which cities your ancestors came from which is cool. It would be boring to just see something like "Yeah you're from Africa.. somewhere... also Scandinavia". I am also interested in my ancestors from many years ago too.

      @@ZairaL03 23 and me gives you a higher resolution results so in other words you will find out about an amount as small as 1/2 of 1%. But they won't tell you the region of the country your ancestors are from. Ancestry is the best one for that. Ancestry told me I am 43% Irish, 27% Scottish, 25% English and 5% Norwegian. Then they broke it down and told me when my ancestors came to New England and which states and counties they came from. They told me what part of Ireland my ancestors are from as well as what part of England. But they could not tell me what haplogroups my mother and father belonged to. 23 and me told me I am 98.5% British/Irish and 1.5% Spanish and they told me what haplogroups my father and my mother belonged to. So basically each gave me different pieces to the puzzle. If you are limited I suggest you choose based on what you are most curious about. If you want a detailed all around picture of your ancestry and don't mind that they won't report anything under 2% then Ancestry is the way to go. If you want to know what your mother's, mother's. mother's, mother's.... female line was then 23 and me could be the way to go. Personally I liked Ancestry more because I also get documented genealogy information from them. You can't look up census records on 23 and me.

      The major reason people tell you that you don’t look Guatemalan is the fact that Guatemala is the most indigenous country in Central America. Most associate Guatemalans with a Mayan look. Despite such every single country that has a typical or semi majority look also has others that are outside that box.

    Y’all I can totally relate. I’m Native Hawaiian, Filipino, Japanese, Okinawan, German, Irish, Austrian, and Portuguese. My parents and grandparents are all mixed. I was born and raised in Hawaii, so it’s really common here for people to have multiple ethnicities. Most of our ancestors came here to work the plantations. Here we are taught to respect and love everyone, and to be proud of who we are. We are all so unique. Fearfully and wonderfully created by God. Unfortunately, I can relate with struggling with “ethnic identity “. I never felt like I was enough of any of my heritages. And unfortunately some people shamed me for it. I wasn’t Japanese enough. I wasn’t Filipino enough. I wasn’t Native Hawaiian enough. Growing up I didn’t learn to speak any of these languages, just a few words here and there. And we don’t practice a lot of customs from each of my cultures either. My mom wanted us to know that we should be proud of who we are, but that we needed to remember WHOSE we were before anything. To remember the importance of representing God’s Kingdom , not just our cultures. I’m proud of my heritage, I’m proud to be American, and I’m proud to be a Child of God. ❤️ Mahalo Nui for this video Jeanine. Continue to let Jesus lead you and use you for His Glory. God bless you and your ohana 🙏

    I’ve always wanted to take this test! Both my parents are immigrants too. My dad is middle-eastern and my mom is Brazilian and German. I’m quite a mix so it would be so cool to see a breakdown. Thanks for sharing yours!

    I think it’s important that we understand that race and culture are vastly different concepts to delineate. I’m 100% Korean but living in America also afforded me that same cultural disconnect as you suffered from. I’d be remiss to assert that most first world Asian countries like Korea and Japan have become so Westernized that culturally there is a merging in terms of culture even if food, language, and customs might be different... there is a slew of various western cultural expressions in those countries where you could fit in pretty well there because the culture is expressing itself in a more Western vibe than not... In terms of racism, I got it from whites and blacks so I think we need recognize that racism is a sin issue in the human heart, just like lust and lying. Before anything else Jeanine, if you say you want to learn, I highly recommend books by Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Walter Williams, Jason Riley, Booker T Washington, Malcolm X, and listen to pastor Voddie Baucham... you might find their positions pretty compelling...

    My parents are both from Mexico. But I was born in America. My mom actually moved to the US at an early age. I feel like I definitely resonate with not knowing so much of my parents culture. Would love to learn more and visit Mexico. ❤️

    My Dad is from the US ( North Carolina ) and my Mom is from Guatemala like yours 💕
    he was traveling through Guatemala and met my Mom and fell in love. I've been to Guatemala a lot, and it's really not as dangerous as people say it is. It is a beautiful country and I know when you finally get a chance to go you will fall in love with the culture and country ❤️

      That’s so cool! My parents were also born in Guatemala! And since being Guatemalan is a nationality, versus part of one’s ethnic background (just like being American, being from the US, is a nationality, not an ethnicity), my mom is half Spanish and half African. And my dad is Indigenous, African and Spanish. 💗 And I couldn’t be more proud of my ethnic background! 💗

    PSA about DNA databases - positive feedback no bad vibes
    I’m so happy you got to see what you’re made of lol I too did a test (I’m French Canadian and Canadian indigenous and also a biotechnologist (Métis, Maliseet and Abenaki)). When I took it they told me I was from northern-eastern Marocain and Algerian, specifically of mozabite decent.... no French... not even Irish... juste from Northern Africa and basque and Spanish. like girl what? All to say if you get really odd results and you’re of indigenous decent a lot of us are from very genetic structured areas and many of our traits especially those from smaller communities may be lacking from the databases. So the databases will try its best to categorize you to a cultural group which will have some of the similar traits to yours. So, yes maybe my indigenous ancestry have genetic similarities with the mozabites people of Northern Africa. Which genetically is interesting. Maybe mozabites from 1000s of years somehow came to Canada, or their genetics similarly mutated as my indigenous ancestry. Thus, gave me those results. But, all in all if you’re mixed race and you have random ancestry which makes absolutely no sense to you. Keep checking as they constantly update their databases, and do not despair. Especially, if you’re from micro communities. Such as indigenous people of North America.

    Hola Jeanine!! Love your videos and your content, from a fellow Texan here!
    I just wanted to share that I can really relate to this video and how confusing it can be growing in a mix culture and the society itself.
    But in my case it's a little different as well, I'm a mexican girl, that was born in Texas but in border town, that itself it's a whooole different story. I've always feel like I'm not mexican enough for my family and friends in Mexico and not american enough for my family and friends in USA 🙄....yeah quite complicated, plus the accent issue, etc.
    It was a bit difficult at first, but now I'm very proud of being able to experience the best of both worlds with family and friends and keep living my life at it's best.
    Saludos Jeanine from SATX! Wishing you the best always 😊🙏❤

    About to order this test.... I was adopted at birth, never met any of my biological family members. Grew up with bright red hair freckles and a very deep voice from a young age.... My adoptive parents “who I adore” are very tan and both have dark hair. I have always wanted to help others so I joined the Marine Corps and then became a Police Officer and have been serving our citizens for the past 19 years.
    I would just like a hint of where my heart came from.....
    Thank you for posting your very informative video! Have a blessed week! Oh and I’m from Texas, but have lived all over the United States and across the pond.

    You have the sweetest personality! Also you summed up everything about racism so so well! I've never taken a DNA test but would assume I'm almost 100% German, maybe a small percentage of Polish as well. Both my parents are German and so are their parents etc. But my last name is polish. You talking in German was great, I LOVE the american accent.

    What little German that I know, I learned from listening to Rammstein songs back in the day. 🤣 I took 2 courses of Spanish in school and only remember a few sentences. This was so much fun to watch! I’ve had that test kit in my amazon cart for forever but haven’t purchased it yet but this definitely made me want to. Based on our family tree, we have Scottish, Dutch, and German origins but I’d love to know more about myself. :) Thanks for this fun video and the message of everyone being beautiful and not to discriminate!! 💙

    Well, I am German, and I also would say, just like you did: Why would you have to fit into any box? It's beautiful that you combine all these different things and bring something unique to the table - actually, everybody is unique, so it's great to be reminded of that - I wouldn't mind, at all, if you didn't speak German, but it's actually cute to hear you speak it. Very interesting video, thank you!! And thank you for speaking out for variety and tolerance ❤❤!!

    Can I just say, I’m half British and half Brazilian so completely relate to not knowing where you fit into everything. I speak Portuguese but look like THE biggest gringo so I never felt ‘Brazilian’. I realised though, that I don’t have to fit into one box, I’m both equally and that’s that + better for it. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇧🇷🇬🇹 ❤️

    Just learn those languages by yourself and use them. Parents really do their children a disservice by not teaching them their mother tongues. As a parent don't ever give up, children's brains have plasticity and they DO LEARN even if you think they aren't improving.

    Thank you for this video Jeanine! I live in central europe and because of the holocaust our grandparents were taught to not to talk about being jewish. My dad grew up not knowing that he was jewish, and we figured it out through the rest of the family, I have relatives in Israel, and it is so great to know that I belong somewhere. But my family has German, Serbian, and Hungarian too so I always felt that I'm neither of those. It truly is a difficult question, but I came to understand that we are one nation, joining under the flag of Jesus Christ, and we don't need to be just one specific nationality ❤

      No consigo entender por qué los hispanoparlantes se definen como hispanos.
      HISPANA era el antiguo nombre de España.
      Por tanto, hispanos son los nacidos en España.
      Incluso nativos, sin una gota de sangre española dicen que son hispanos,
      ¿Por qué?
