- About a year and a half ago, I did the best prank on Alessio, my Italian husband. I faked a DNA test to tell him that he wasn't actually Italian, but in fact, 54% French!! It's probably my favorite prank of all time. Of course we had to find out our official results, so here you go! Here are the official DNA results of The Pasinis! Will Alessio still have some French DNA in there? Watch to find out!

As for Napoleon...wait until Alessio finds out Napoleon was a descendant of ITALIAN nobles! He may have been born in Corsica, but his paternal ancestors were TUSCAN nobles, while his maternal ancestors were GENOESE! As others have mentioned, I'm pretty sure the French part of Alessio's DNA has to do with the Celts who once lived in Friuli. French ancestry doesn't have to mean the French ethnicity but rather that he has ancestry from peoples who lived in what's now France.
As for Jessi's, I'm pretty sure she's Melungeon since she's from Tennessee and the Melungeon people are mostly found in the Appalachia part of Tennessee where she said her family is from. Melungeons are people with mixed European/Sub-Saharan African/Native American and this all checks out with Jessi. The term Melungeon likely comes from the French word mélange ultimately derived from the Latin verb miscēre (to mix)
I would think most Europeans are aware of Napoleon’s ancestry. I remember it was covered in school and I live in Northern Europe and not France/Italy
She looked British the moment I saw her for the first time. 😅
She has the most typical British-Irish face ever. Not surprised at all.
“Are you sure that’s not the cat’s dna?” 😂😂😂
The way he said “Frrench” killed me! 💀🤣🤣🤣
I lost it when Alessio said your French blood is going to mess with my blood😂😂.
Gli italiani del Nord sono Galli come i francesi. Questi test basati sui confini politici attuali sono una stupidaggine e lui è ridicolo con queste stupide reazioni.
He is 100% from the Roman Empire
Napoleone Buonaparte was an Italian from Corsica ethnically speaking.
His parents were from Toscany
BONAPARTE
Corsican is ethnically italian, historically/formerly and currently.
That's what I said.
@@francescad8812 Thumb up for you.
I'd like to say:
1) his ancestors were from Tuscany,
2) Napoleon was no way a nice man. 🙂
I think Alessio's French-German side is more likely Austrian. Friuli-Venezia Giulia is all the way in Northeast Italy, bordering Austria and Slovenia. Based on geography, it is most likely that his ancestors were Italian and Austrian, as Northern Italy has constantly redrawn its borders, hence the different ethnic groups had to adopt a new ethnic identity. For example, South-Tyrol (Alto-Adige) is really an Austrian territory that Italy ceded. Ticino, the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, is very likely composed of Italians with a lot of German-speaking Swiss ancestry. Lombardy, the region where Italy's economic hub Milan is found, was named after the Lombards, who were a Germanic tribe. That whole northern area of Italy was inhabited by Germanic people after the fall of the Roman Empire, in fact, the Ostrogoths and Vandals reached pretty south too. So I believe Italians would have some Germanic DNA in there.
A ton of people in the Alto adige region of Italy speak German, and the cuisine reflects it as well.
This!
I see French babies in your future😂😄🙃
Love the Italian / France rivaly! It's hilarious!
It is real!
I m french I didnt even know there was one, and i don t think there is one, we dont really care lol, so if there is one it s a one side rivallery lol
Italians are just jealous French food is better. They could use butter too
@@NoThankUBeQuiet French and Italian food is both very good! A lot of French food was heavily influenced by the former Italian republics especially like Venice, Florence, and Genoa.
Maybe this is why Italian restaurants and Italian gastronomy are sold all over the world, while French cuisine is not.😂@@NoThankUBeQuiet
Alessio to try british food, oh boy will that be interesting 😂
Ancestry does update periodically as more and more people submit, they get more accurate. Also, they do explain that a lot of the things people are surprised by (like being French over Italian) is directly related to historical migration of the population to where there was food or work). I loved both of your reactions 😂
Yes, they do ...
People moved around a lot. Wars, famines, some people mixed with the locals as they traveled and explains the fluctuations as more people join and they refine the results. I put more credence in the top three results, the rest may disappear and new ones pop up in time. On Ancestry, you get to see a range for a location sometimes it will show 0 to - a low number. Which may mean bye -bye in time Or what they call noise. Your video was entertaining.
@@arielsea9087 Yes, those low numbers do change and sometimes go away...
Also, the technological advances in DNA testing improve daily :)
This sounds like 23andme as they lump british and irish together. She is not any irish in her. Its insulting
You're right about the variance of ethnicity percentages within families. My sister and I have the same biological parents but the % shown of each ethnicity in our DNA tests are very different. We both have the same ethnicities but to different degrees. We both look different from eachother too.
compare who is on your DNA relative lists.
@@FreezyAbitKT7A we have the same relatives. We're mixed with African, European and East Asian. There's a pretty high chance of mixed siblings pulling more from one race than another and looking quite different from siblings.
Yes they were right. My sibling and I both took our dna tests and it varied greatly. My sister picked the southern european blood (Spanish/portuguese) from my dad's side (knowing it from his side cuz our cousins on that side have it as well and my mom has no southern european in her test)
Nope my brother and myself are both 100% irish 😂
Ha so funny! Maybe you two should start a French Cooking channel.. lol
It's the databases that are refined, it's not that a person's DNA changes
We are in France. Home of Alessio!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So interesting! When my parents did theirs, my mom was 98% Irish. My father was a smorgasbord Polish Irish Russian Eastern European English and Alsatian. If you still have your grandparents talk to them and ask questions you'll learn so much!
This is hilarious to watch! 🤣😂 But I love these dns tests and love that people can find what their backgrounds are and most of us are mixed with different ethnicities. I’m Puerto Rican but when I did this test it was a mix of a WHOLE lot! More than the Spanish, African, Indian I thought I was. 😂
Alessio... 25% French. Accept it brother. You are French by blood. You should cheer for your French brothers on the next World Cup when Italy fails to qualify for the 3rd time.
If going to Scotland with Jessi wearing a flowing Scottish dress then Alessio needs be prepared to be seen wearing a Scottish KILT!! Laugh out loud!
he has a lot of style - a kilt could suit him
if you're from napoleon, you're 100% italian. because his "french" line is actually corsican, which is also italian. his name is napoleon because his ancestors were from napoli!
yeah, his real name is "Napoleone"
Everyone in the end is from Naples 😅
@@LaburnumAnagyroides Not even remotely. LOL
Napolean was part Tuscan and part Ligurian, but mostly Tuscan and his ancestors went to Corsica not long before he was born.
@@alessandrom7181 yeah, I know someone is just Salveenee
LMAO Alessio is going to keep taking the test every year until he gets the number he wants😂😂😂
Jessi, the trick is if you feed your husband croissants every morning! He will become 50% French in time. It is proven in scientific journals
Apparently Conan O'Brian is 100% Irish ... but he was told that means he was inbred :D
Indeed that’s a very irish last name
How can you do this? I think is because you love each other more than anything. Kudos to your understanding towards each other.
It is your love and understanding that shines true
You are so sweet guys ❤kisses from Greece
I did 23andMe for mine and my results listed the specific parts of a country I can trace the largest chunks of my ancestry to. I am over 40 percent Spanish/Portuguese, specifically from the Canary Islands as my great grandma lived in the Canary Islands before she moved to Cuba. And my Portuguese ancestry lists the Azores. I am over 20 percent British and Irish which is from my dad's side with County Cork and Kerry in Ireland as my likeliest match as well as Lancashire and West Yorkshire in the UK. I am 19.8 percent Eastern European also because of my dad with my ancestry pointing to the Polish-Slovak border (it also included Czech Republic as a likely match).
I am 3.3 percent Native American (Taíno; which I knew already because I'm Cuban), I am 2.3 percent Western Asian/North African (which I was once asked by an Arab brain doctor I went to if I was an Arab and was confused but now it makes sense knowing Spain's history) which includes the most shocking...1.1 percent CYPRIOT (which was updated two years ago and has stayed since). Caught me off-guard because I don't know where that came from, but Cyprus is one of the most go
25% french german because the frankish ruled italy for some time. so don't worry about it. it happened over 1000 years ago. they can't pinpoint it any further than the holy roman empire days of the franks (austria, germany, france, switzerland).
25% french-german is actually Celtic dna...which means....since it is very historically proven that, even back in the roman empire time, Celtic were present in the region of Friuli......that he is basically 100% italian....or 100% from Friuli to be more precise.
@@micheleduritto Exactly. These tests should be sent with instructions on how to read them as well as people goes nut and think to be part this or part that. LOL
The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation ended in 1806. That's about 200 years.
It's mostly a Celtic subtratum in North Italy that was passed down to cisalpine people though.
@@micheleduritto All those groups got swallowed by the Romans, so it is basically 100% Italian for sure.
Time for Rapunzel to update the shirt to French fries and French guys 😂
Yes, but he FEELS 100% Italian. 😂
He Is. He Is 100% North italian.
Love Jessi !!!
Yes you two should have lots of kids!! Children are a blessing from heaven (aka God)
sky daddy (aka God) isn’t real 😂
@@reaux3921 please explain why you think that
My Dad is 2nd Generation American Norwegian & is STILL 100% Norwegian. Viking power! 😊
Hail Odin!
@@torbjrnlund903, 😆
haha no way, my dads from fruili too, pordenone! Great video that was fun to watch
It’s possible to have Roman DNA in Britain, when the Romans ruled Britain for almost 500 years. And that can come into it being “Italian” DNA although Italy has only been a country for over 140 years or so
An united nation at most, It was already a country named Italy 162 years ago.
The idea of Italy has been around for well over 1000 years if you know the history of the city republics and truces between cities as far flung from Venice to Milan to Florence to Rome to Naples.
We are all mixed up.
French-German ancestry mean that you have ancestors from that area. Not necessarily France or Germany that countries as you know it today.
Over the centuries, different peoples lived there, from Celts to Romans to the Franks and Swiss.
Yep, it is historically proven that Celts were in Friuli (the region he is from) even back in the roman empire era.
Finally someone with some knowledge in a pile on nonsensical comments. Thanks.
he does look french though

Me and Jessi could be related. I did mine in 2015. Mine has changed. I used to be French and Spanish from Spain. I’m not anymore.
Lol. So, your ethnicities changed based on the computer's data.
Interesting, would have guessed more African from ur pic.
@@la381 yes
@@reaux3921 i thought I was also.
Something doesn't match.
I love how everyone just ignored the last little comment at the end 😅
I agree and I am not surprised. Long ago Corsica,Malta, and Elba were under Italy. Napoleone Buonaparte was from Italien descent. You can argue if you want, but it doesn't change the fats. Infact, if you go to Malta, Corsica, all the streets names all over are Italian names. End of story. Lol it or not it is what it is. Ciao.
You guys are so cute!
It’s true, wait a year, your ansestry updates. I was 74% Italian ( friulano) and now I’m 86%. Yippee!
I mean...i might be wrong..but those tests have to be put in historical context, his 25% french-german is just the Celtic DNA that it is still very present in Friuli (apparently the Celts where there before the Romans), so you are basically 100% from Friuli...congrats.
Exactly…
Infatti è così, sono piemontese ed è così anche qui e più o meno in tutto il nord Italia!
Exactly correct, particularly true in the Trentino.
Yeah I was expecting him to have germanic ancestry, because of migration. Us Germans were so poor, a lot of us southerners migrated to Italy to survive.
@@helgaioannidis9365u said u were Greek in another comment, now ur German?
When these two get kids they gona be more french then italian haha.
That's hilarious 😂 "pardon my French"
Just came across your video, brilliant hi from Scotland 🏴 🌺🌺🦋💫🌺🌺🦋
Hello and much love here in San Angelo, Texas!! ❤️
I love this video 😂😂
You both are so brave
I'm thinking of doing this. I know my mom's dad was German, and my dad's dad was Armenian...but the rest I think British and NW European. So it would be interesting to see what the a test will show. In the end, I'm an American ❤
WHAT'S AMERICAN ???America is a melting part of so many ethnic groups
American is a nationality not your ethnicity.
"Let's go to England and Ireland for the food"...said no foodie EVER. What will you eat there? Bangers and mash, canned baked beans on boring white toast, $hitload of fried fish and chips and in Ireland they serve 3 types of potatoes with your fried fish. When you give in and eat at a Chinese restaurant in Dublin, the server will ask, "Do you want chips or rice with your meal". Save the money and go back to Italy. Just talking from my own experience when I went there. Jessi still has the British/Irish palette with her Kraft Mac-n-Cheese. And THIS didn't give you a clue of your heritage? LOL LOL LOL. You 2 are so adorable and I love your videos. The ending of this one was PERFECTION!
They have great restaurants there now and places in Ireland have great seafood. People will be pleasantly surprised.
Ireland is not the same country as england. Insulting to lump the 2 countries together
Stop insulting irish people by calling us british irish. We are not the same country. So ignorant americans to irish history.
The trace ancestry isn’t that accurate unless both of your parents also test. I had a bunch of random trace results until my parents tested and it disappeared
What’s wrong with being French? I am French and it is great!
Most are arrogant.
I am German and I can kind of see it in him actually XD welcome to the family
This is funny cause I literally have an Irish last name, always thought I was Irish, turns out… I’m Italian!!!
Texas 4 Ever!!❤❤❤
Awe Alessio its ok welcome to the French Family..
01:18 French Meditation begins
As a french, i'm still laughing. Sii forte amico mio ;)
French German... Okie being Alsatian that's probably what I am too... We don't have those tests here in France and I'm too lazy to get one of those from where it is allowed 😂
Alessio reminds me of a Swiss German friend of mine a lot. just a fun observation.
Hey what’s wrong with being French I don’t know why so many don’t like us French people lol
Parce que les français ont l'air arrogant
OMG! A genealogical researcher told my Italian uncle that we had a lieutenant from Napoleon's army in our ancestry. So, a French Lieutenant back in the early 1800s married an Italian woman, perhaps in the northern area of Italy. I'll have to ask my cousins if they have the original report. Thanks for sharing your results! DNA is a fascinating thing.
Mine has changed a lot and in the past year years. Although now it’s more closely related to what I’ve seen in the immigration records of my ancestors than it was originally.
I took mine I know I’m mostly Italian and tiny bit polish & Brit but on mine I got all those & I also got Greek, cypress, Albanian, and middle eastern…. I think if you are Italian because of the location & history you will probably get lots of Mediterranean countries.
Just curious what is Alessios mother ancestry? Love you both 🤗🤗
In the Highlands, maybe you’ll find a village that only appears every 100 years (Brigadoon). 😮
"Do you want kids?" Could be a hint to some other news in the near future. 😉
me and my sister both took our dna test thru 23 and me. It does change every so often. We have tracked down our family trees back to the 1700s on both sides. When we first got our results it showed us having british isle roots and since it has updated that has been merged with our german and scandinavian percentages. If you have Germanic heritage and especially from northern most part close to Denmark it will mark it as British and or Scandinavian just cuz of the closeness of the region and the history of the migration to Britain from that area.
But DNA test can be subjective. If you have a dna that they can't quite place but alot of people from say India have taken DNA test and came back with that same DNA, you might get reported as from being from that region as well. There are certain DNA testing that is more specific to certain ethnicities that will narrow it down more (Native Americans and Asians for examples)
It doesn't loads of Americans all think they have German ancestry but loads was English they hide it because of American wars with britian.
They pretended to be German due to war with britian most of America is massively built up on British heritage.
Ancestry dna is more accurate for ireland. It has a higher user in ireland and therefore more accurate
Alessio, you can use your 25% French (even if it isn't exactly), when correctly criticizing French food, that even that you are French you believe this. Makes you even more 'credible.'
Good luck with British food😅
Super interesting! I really enjoy your content!
It's actually the contrary: southern italians are partly greeks because Greece colonized southern Italy, not the opposite
@@LaburnumAnagyroides In some Greek isles there have been Venetians for long time and much more recently. Also Greeks colonized not an empty Southern Italy and the similar DNA of South Italians and Greeks predates Greek colonists.
@@LaburnumAnagyroides Except the roman empire existed so the mediterranean is all a bit mixed
@wellaciccio
Nope, most of the people didn't move from their soil for the whole life.
@wellaciccio the Roman Empire is born over the ashes of the greek civilizations ( in the north there were etrurians, volscii and others. They all mixed up)
A lot of southern people have Sub Saharan African blood and they used to say "Grandma was a Cherokee princess" to cover up African blood.
Most African american gave 20% european ( even more in north) from dlave master and 40% have patednal r1b haplogroup which is eudopean which means their father line is European
I'm from Barcelona and I really don't get why there are so many Spaniards, Italians and Germans who mock or even hate France. The Napoleonic era is far gone and chauvinism is not only a french thing
I think if Alessio eats more Italian food - his numbers will go up in his DNA;) 😉
Napoleon was Italian and a lot of France's early history was informed and influenced by Tuscans especially from Florence. You are Italian.
I have been thinking of doing a DNA 🧬 test, but not sure which company to go with. Which one do you recommend?
12:33 if you try running through the Highlands you'll probably break an ankle in a dip ;-) and either freeze or get bitten by thousands of midges.
This was very entertaining and from such a wonderful couple. I, Italo american and my German wife are waiting for our results. By the way, are Neanderthal genes included? Some europeans have up to 2%.
So neat!
I did Ancestry DNA last year but I didn’t realize it could change…did you have to pay again or does it just update on its own?
Nope you won’t have to pay for updates
Every August it updates. You just log back into your account
Wow your more British then me! And I was born in 🇬🇧
Remember there were two world wars, so it makes sense that French German was in your blood, lots of romance during those high times of stress, not knowing if tomorrow would come. Maybe try a different lab like 23 and Me, just to see if your genetics stay the same. Thanks for sharing.
More like 1,000 years ago from the celts 😂 ppl didn’t mix only in the world wars which wasn’t long ago - 100 years
“You are a British” 😂
Maybe now it’s a perfect time to create a family tree👋👍🏻.
That was fun, thanks.
Which company did you go with? I did mine through 23&me and it doesn’t seem accurate
Loved this!! I had a good laugh ❤
Wow Jessi I thought you had Scandanavian in you. Never would have guessed British with the pale skin and hair. Nor the African area. And Alessio french-german ,doesn't that just means French who settled in Germany back in those days?
Yep. British are normally lobster red. At least here under the sun 😂. Erm where do you think the name France comes from?
Correct. From the germanic tribe named Franken. Who conquered most of today France after the western Roman empire fell.
Keyword: Karl der Große aka Charlemagne.
I live in Greece and we can watch people from different countries under the sun. So Brits and Irish usually are very pale and they don't tan much. They just get red, peel and are white again.
Scandinavians usually are pale, but they get a tan. Also there's lots of Scandinavians with dark hair.
Finnish are more like the Brits, but whiter. They usually reflect so much sun, it sometimes hurts my eyes.
@@helgaioannidis9365british and irish are not genetically the same. British are anglo saxon and romans. Irish are celtic and vikings/normans....totally unrelated genetics. Insulting to imply we are genetically the same when we are not. And also we did not mix as to keep land in families they would never have mixed
@@helgaioannidis9365also its very insulting you say im pale and "burn". This again is false. Although im 100% irish...my dna goes back to the 9th century danish and swedish. I tan extremely brown in the sun but i decide to stay white because i do not want to get leather skin and wrinkles. Also there is zero point to tan if you go back to a cloudy climate and will turn white in one day and wear clothes which cover the skin anyway
@@traceymarshall5886 darling don't put thought's into my brain that never were there.
I gave a description of an observation. All the rest happened in your head.
Alessio, eat more pure Italian food and boost the Italian DNA even more! 🤣 🤣 🤣
I remember seeing mine the first time. I am 92+ % Irish and 6%Scottish. No big surprise because we're soooo Irish from the time we immigrated in the 17 and 1800s. My Mom believed there was some native American but nope. Love your reactions!!!
you don't need to try british food. it's horrible for italians.
😂😂 I was worried they'd be disappointed as well.
No, you’re not French, you just share the same ancestors French and Northern Italians share, the Celts.
Mate here we are again. They don't get It right? They keep saying he's a quarter french, at this point It's obvious that Is just to make visualizations, i don't buy they still have not understood It yet.
@@alessandrom7181 I think because it is a fun joke. Useful for comedy purposes. Still I don’t get all this hype about dna testing. I don’t know anybody that took it not for youtube video making.
No he is genetically not a celt neither is she
@@traceymarshall5886 well a northern Italian is likely to have some Celtic dna because you know, Celts, called Galli by the ancient Romans, were the inhabitants of the northern Italy, together with other ancient tribes and populations like Etruschi, Veneti, Liguri and Reti.
@@Bradamante68 there is nothing about his face that is celtic. So therefore no celt ib him. He doesnt have celtic skin, or celtic eyes, or celtic nose, or celtic mouth or celtic skin or celtic hair. Therefore not celtic. If there was celtic in him he would have at least one of those genetic features and he has none. Equally she has zero irish genetic features and therefore her "british irish" is actually just british. Ancestry dna would have shown that
This is 100% normal, there is no-one from Europe 100% something like italian, french, german etc. Look at the maps over history how everything shifted.
Im 100% irish. My family have lived in ireland for 1000s of yeara
1000% Human.
Wasn't Napoleon of Italian descent? Those Romans, conquering the world man. ;)
My ancestry has a very long lines in the UK and a line from the Middle East. When my aunts, dad, sister and daughter did the DNA thing it typically comes up with 60% Italian.
yeah, infact it is not Italian, it is similar to Italians, South Italians above all. Those tests make a proportions of components and tell you what you are more similar to. In your case the nordic, celtic, germanic of Brits plus Middle Eastern stuff gave a result of compnents similar to South Italians even if you have not even a line of them.
0.5 percent African, one drop rule! Yiu are now 100 percent Black 😂😂😂.
😂😂😂
Northern Italians are Gauls and Germanic that settle in Italy from Tuscany to Lombardy Piedmont and Swiss Alps.
I just knew Jessi was mostly British!😅
Likely she is from Irish descent because the Irish are the biggest immigrant group in the USA.
About ten procent of the US bloodlines are from Irish descent including most of the presidents of the USA's
She does look very British
@@Ayan-bp4dq To be honest she has a very New world face and could possibly pass as having some Eastern European ancestry too. American faces are very peculiar and sometimes very different from Old Europe.
It said British/Irish. Big difference in the two countries.
@@alessandrom7181 If she had Eastern European ancestry that would show up on her dna test. Some of the British & Irish could be Northern French, Dutch or Northern German also. They will specify an area on the results. 23&Me now has also started doing Genetic Groups.
