- Attention! Important announcement at the end of the video!
I've been living in Poland for about 15 years now and I've always wondered - where my ancestors are from? Am I American, or do I have polish heritage? So on this episode of Kult America I will take a DNA test to find out if I am indeed ethnically Polish?

Please remember that maps change... a lot. Especially when talking about Poland. So when you talk about Slovakia/Czechia/Ukraine it depends on when your ancestors lived. For example my family comes from "Ukraine", but it was Poland at that time.
true, but Ukrainians and Cossacs lived there too. Old Poland was very multi-ethnic
Slashplite Yes, but not everywhere. There were places that were 100% Polish or fully polonized and are now outside of Poland. I'm not saying anything should change, what's done is done, changing borders always causes a lot of suffering for the population, there has been enough of that already.
Poland as the Kingdom Was multietnic but not polish people
Sigita Švedė I think this discussion is about the 2nd Republic of Poland (1918-1939). It was multi-ethnic but there were fully Polish regions in the east as well.
People from that region can apply for Polish citizenship by the way.
Cześć Ryan, czy mógłbyś zdradzić z jakiego testu DNA korzystałeś (nazwa firmy). Chciałbym zamówić dla mojego ojca taki sam na prezent urodzinowy.
One part of my family came from a city called Danzig, which was in Prussia at the time, but is now known as Gdansk, Poland. I get a lot of people comment about my last name being Polish, but that is my most recent ex-husband's name. The family name from Prussia is Coerber.
Prussia was in North Eastern Poland, a group of settlers from Latvia, and Polish and Balto-Slavic. P-Russian, is still Russian ;-) they were mixed with Germans (invaded ), but the origin is Balt and Slavic.
The only slavic about Prussia is that polish king invited german order to help fight Prussian tribes, what eventually got prussians annihilated.
Hi Kult America. Since you've been living in Poland for 15 years, it seems to me that you've come back to your roots.
BTW: I'm about 2-3% Neanderthal and Densovian. I'm proud of that. :)
Pretty accurate results
Hey dude,
I am born in the early 80ies in Warsaw, but my parents left for Germany where I mostly grew up.
I am according to MyHeritage 60% East European, the slots are kind of bigger.
I have a lot of Baltic DNA according to them and about 9% North West European DNA. And 1% Balcan.
I cannot really explain the stuff by what I know from my parents, some stories were diproven by this result.
My last name is not truly Polish and it ties to some minority ethnicities in the Baltic region
I am 48% west slavic....and I am from Romania. The majority of my matches are from Poland and East Germany.
What DNA testing did you take ? Myheritage or ancestry ? Thank you ! as I too have polish heritage
thank you -
Ancestry
@@KultAmerica thank you for the response!! I already bought my heritage and waiting for it in the mail - so hoping it’s as great as ancestry
Did you get it?
This was very funny
which dna test you took?
What DNA test did you take?
Góra Ropczycka... najpiękniejsze miejsce na Ziemi :D
FAJNIE OPOWIADASZ ....JESTESPOLSKI SŁOWIANIN
The Polish and the Irish both went to the same church. that's how they met.
right , the same Catolic pervert , pedofilliac ,,church " !!
Makes sense
And they were forced to live in Brooklyn in the New York area, with Italians, because Protestants did not want non Protestants in Manhattan. But out of it, Lottie Italy, Polish and Irish… And in the DC area, they didn’t want Catholics in DC and both Virginias, so they were together in Maryland. Why Polish immigrants were sent to Chicago and Detroit ? Not because of cold but because Italians and Irish already lived there. America reunited Catholics together. No mixity !
Church or not, they were parked in the same area.
My DNA results were also not surprising vis-a-vis what I know about my family history. I came back as 95% Europe East with my only ethnic community being primarily in southern Poland, southwestern Ukraine and western Slovakia. As a 3rd generation American, it was pretty stunning to me that I could still be 95% ethnically among the greater Carpathian Mountains region. My mother's maternal family had a Turk somewhere in its history and that 3% showed up as a low confidence region of West Asian. 1% Greece and Italy and 1% British were my other low confidence regions.
Nice results! My family line is actually traced back to Zakopane and Nowy Targ myself! We think the old cemetery in Zakopane was started by our family.
if you are slavic you can feel it, it's in your blood. i feel it and am proud
Why all the people in the world (99%) have dark hair and dark eyes,
only people from the Baltic Sea have bright hair and bright eyes? Does anyone know why?
Have you seen the Asian , African, Arab, South European, Eskimos, North American Indian, South American Indian, Australian Aboriginal with blue eyes and blond hair? Why is it like that? Does anyone know why?
/I don't mean the skin colour./
@@Jan-hj2im yes, people from Siberia, proto Slavic, ancestors of modern Russians, Bielorussians and Poles (same DNA group 100 % confirmed by all scientists), have a male ancestor with a chipped, broken gene. A type 2 Albinos unable to produce enough melanin. Eyes are blue at birth but immediately the production of m starts. In Siberia, the lack of sun and light probably provoked a mutation to adapt and get enough vit D, the little sun exposition no more filtered by all this melanin/shield. You need both parents to carry this gene to get a chance to have blue eyes and blond hair.
99 % is today, and it’s less than 99 %. Blue eyed blond or dark blond people are disapiring today but once they were the dominant race on Earth in Eurasia. Or very close to other Asian races. The rest of the world was almost empty.
@@Jan-hj2im everybody who had blonde hair in childhood have slavic heritage. I had it like my father and his father, now i have middle to dark brown hair with brown eyes my uncle for example (father sibling) have green eyes. Greetings from Serbia 👋🏻
You have been living in Poland for 15 years but still can't learn/remember one important thing (like most foreigners) - Poland isn't in Eastern Europe, is in Central Europe. Same as Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria or Hungary...
And Lithuania!!! Remember about Lithuania the most important country on the face of the earth
Lol, lithuania can never be part of that, lithuanians chose insignificance, instead of brotherhood with poland, history has already started punishing them
Lithuania and Latvia are Eastern European Baltic countries which are closest relatives of Russia. Estonia is closely related to Finland and Russia. What is your problem with that? Why do you want to be Northern European? I am a Northern European by the way
les69op lol, I see someone is butthurted.
DEn Bond
That's exactly what I said last time to your mom...
BTW - check the map of Europe first, then write stupid posts.
Note Lithuania, Latvia Are Baltic tribes, not Slavic. Neither Estonia
Genetically tho
@@geminix365 Genetically they are more similar to Finns than Slavs.
@@JohnHenryEden2277 only Estonians Lithuanians and latvians are more like slavs even the language.
forgot hungary
Hey, I like the way you said romances. I don't usually tell people how to speak but I can give a compliment or two when I like something.
my mother and her family are from gliwice and i've been countless times. it fills me with such pride to hear you say it's the most beautiful city in silesia, i spent many summers as a child there and i agree with you
Gliwice was a german city.
@@mikezabo3134 Gliwice was a Polish city occupied by germans
@@piotrekes Gliwice looks much better than the rest of Silesia.
@@mikezabo3134 that's how we managed to recover from the WWII atrocities, genocide commited by germans and entire cities razed to the ground some of them partially however with all industrial goods hauled to germany ......
I watched on TikTok many videos of this funny blond guy showing all the funny maps and weird statistics. Artificial intelligence showed the 3 most ugly cities in Poland, and decided Gliwice is number 3 ! Shock ! I googled it and it looks very nice.
He's got a polish accent when speaking English and an American one when speaking Polish... so odd xd
Nope, can't hear a Polish accent when he speaks English; no idea what you're talking about.
Yeah, agree
no Polish accent in his English
That happens when your born in North American country but your first language was polish LoL not sure if that is the case here
@@PhilippedeHerte he does have a foreign accent in his english.
Dla wszystkich zainteresowanych- taki test kosztuje ok. 1300 zł czas analizy to 2-3 miesiące, analizowana jest zmienność chromosomu Y u mężczyzn. Całości można dokonać zdalnie, dostajemy pocztą zestaw do wymazu (najczęściej z policzka) i wycieramy coś co wygląda jak patyczek do czyszczenia uszu o policzek w jamie ustnej przez ok. 2 minuty tak żeby zebrać jak najwięcej naskórka. Całość pakujemy i odsyłamy, po 2-3 miesiącach otrzymujemy dokładną informację o naszym pochodzeniu. Cena trochę odstrasza :P
Yeah, it was expensive as hell.
It cost $79 US dollars on Ancestry,com so where is 1300 zl????
Polaq za kilka lat byłbym ciekawy to zrobić, ale skoro kosztuje to aż tyle... Jest szansa, że to jakoś stanieje? w Ameryce ponoć dużo taniej
@a jones www.genetico.pl/zamowienie_cennik.html#badania-genealogiczne 1250 zł + 75 zł . @Junak_23 jak będzie duże zainteresowanie to może i stanieje, ale to trochę wróżenie z fusów, równie dobrze cena może pozostawać absurdalnie wysoka.
Powaliło? Kosztuje to 100-150$ w USA. Ja robilem 23andme
Next do a pregnancy test
LOL, every time my wife did one it was positive so maybe I'll slow down in that department:)
Are you catholic?
He's atheist.
+Kult America
Next time make sure it's bought at a drugstore and not at a joke shop :P
P.S. We all always knew you are African American. Nothing new here.
+Kult America With all due respect, if Your ethnicity is 60% Polish then You are a result of a marital love affair, not a "fuck". That's how we do it.
What DNA test did you do, that shows the regions that you come from? I'd like to try it out myself.
**spoiler** he's African American
i knew it...ever since that Ebonics video :P
MyCarGoZoomZoom no he is not you dumb ass
Hey, why are you so angry? Do you think you may be related or something? LOL
HA HA HA
African American isnt a nation.
Ryan I just saw you walking down Tamka street !:) I wanted to say 'hi' but you had youre headphones on and i was driving a car. But still - Hi! :D
+StrejsantBarbra wow, next time say hello!
Trzeba byc bardzo zakompleksiona osoba ,zeby nazwac siebie nazwiskiem i imieniem innej osoby ( znanej ) i przy tym nie potrafic nawet napisac tego nazwiska POPRAWNIE !!!
Great video!! Would love to take a test one day would be fun!
I've taken the 23andme test recently. However they are still in the process of analyzing the DNA (for maybe four more weeks at least). I don't expect much except that it will show that I'm almost 100% Polish. Surprises could happen though. The results also give a genetic health overview, which is also useful.
This is so cool! 👍☺️
I had the test done, and had the same unsurprising results . So you are not alone
nie róbcie tego testu, okazało się, że mam coś wspólnego z sąsiadem.. dziwne..
asia5051 HAHA
Haha
listonosz?
Where you did DNA test?
MyHeritage.com/DNA
This is by far the most asthetic dna test done on youtube with skilled chat and video.. really good
Your explanation was amazing ahhaah
Hi Ryan, the connections between Poland and Slovakia could be shown, because few places you've mentioned are close to the Spisz region, the place where Slovakian and Polish people lived together for the long time. That could be the reason, why some of your ancestors were baptised in slovakian churches. For example Sromowce Niżne are actually on the border with Slovakia.
I am from Gdynia, Poland though for many years I have been living in Canada. My father was from area of Krosno, Podkarpacie. My mom from area of Swiecie, Kujawsko-pomorskie.
I just got my DNA results..
East European
84.8%
Balkan
1.3%
Irish, Scottish, and Welsh
12.4%
Scandinavian
1.5 %
Few surprises!!!
would you mind sharing your gedmatch kit number with me?
Hej, nie dziwie sie ze jest troche procent ze szkocji. Szkoci tez stancjonowali w Gdansku wiele lat lemu (tata uczyl mnie troche historii ale zapomnialam czesc). Stad jest nazwa dzielnicy Nowe Szkoty i Orunia.
Nie wiem co sie stalo z DNA mojej prababci , ktora byla Niemka ..
move back poland is way nicer than any other crappy country in the world
"Obce chwalicie, swego nie znacie" duzo w tym prawdy.. Im dluzej mieszkam na zachodzie tym bardziej doceniam Polske..
Nowy Targ. I live here. It's very impressive when you hear a name of such a small town from such a big youtuber like you
I found this video soo interesting that I was sitting on the edge of my chair whole time. Absolutely fascinating..... I mean, the history which comes with your DNA test - this is what is so fascinating. I live in London and I have got a lot of Jewish friends, and after watching your video, I wonder why I gravitate to them and feel so well with them (and vice versa). I am not Jewish, never have any Jewish ancestors (which I am aware of). Absolutely fascinating...... but I believe what you are saying, that you would feel some spiritual connections to places, people, regions. Thanks Russell for this video. Greetings from London 💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏼♀️💕💕
Gdzie mogę zrobić sobie taki test DNA ? zawsze mnie ciekawiły losy mojej rodziny i kim tak naprawdę jestem ... mogło by to mocno pomóc w odnalezieniu prawdy
Damian K Podbijam pytanie- to bardzo interesujące. Na ile ten test jest prawdziwy?
Sloneczko Lhoce tez jestem tego ciekawa , z checia bym sama taki test zrobiła
Test na pochodzenie moga robic tylko mezczyzni, dlatego, ze pochodzenie w DNA jest przekazywane z ojca na syna. kobiety moga robic test na pochodzenie matki, ktore jest mniej dokladne.
GabZ Masa firm robi takie testy, ale to sporo kosztuje, chyba taniej od 300$ (900zl) nic nie znajdziecie na poziomie.
co to za ciekawa teoria?
Hi! You broke me up :D I subscribed your channel yesterday and today you say that you have roots in Ropczyce. Before studies I lived in Ropczyce. It's funny coincidence. I like your videos. Greetings from Subcarpathia! :D
What a beautiful collectrion of analog cameras Rayan ! I'm so jelous for that Nikon !
Where you can buy this kind of DNA test kit and how much does it cost?
Ancestry.com and it's $99 in the USA. All one has to do is spit in a tube and mail it back to the company. You receive your results in about 6 weeks.
Zbigniew Aleksander Piotrowicz : There are downsides to doing this. Remember, you're not the customer, you're the product. Check this out, elsewhere on YT.
W PL też zrobisz takiet. Koszt ot 1200 pln. wpisz w google test DNA przodkowie i Ci wyskoczy
Zagraniczne firmy są tańsze, nawet z przesyłką.
Impervious No. 23 and me still does the diseases. They have ancestry + health for 200 or just ancestry for 100.
First of all - I would like to caution anyone who takes this test because of endogeneity / exogeneity of the examined dna within European populations which, at their very core, are heterogeneous. To give a simple example: if you are French or Polish and it says 5% German, it could well mean that a) certain Germanic % is at the very core of France's or Poland's DNA (i.e. tracing back to the migration of peoples) and you can still be 100% French or Polish b) the people related with you in the other population can be descendants of your own population - for example if you are Polish and it says 5% Scandinavian/Swedish or Lithuanian/Latvian, it could as well be because they themselves are heavily mixed with Polish population, and vice versa. With Ashkenazi population, you can see similar displays in the analysis for various historical reasons.
Once you are aware of that, you can proceed to test your dna, with a pinch of healthy scepticism and being aware of exogeneity / endogeneity of heterogeneous populations.
Many populations have mixed in the last 1000 years as well
Just consider the Polish szlachta; an average Polish king could be 1/8 German, 1/8 Swedish, 1/8 Greek, 1/8 Italian, 1/2 Polish, 1/2 Hungarian etc and they had many descendants. Central Asian/Uralic-Finnic/Turkic should also be identifiable because of the migration of peoples/war/conquest/assimilation etc.
THE POINT IS THIS: It can be very difficult (if not impossible) to determine these differences in DNA test, i.e. whether a Dutch person is really 5% German or whether thats just exogeneity/endogeneity, or whether a 5% Ashkenazi Lithuanian or Hungarian is from Christians coverting to Judaism or Ashkenazi women/men becoming Christian, as was >famously< the case with the Frankist movement in Poland when tens of thousands became Christian in 18th century.
It is crucial to understand before reading your own dna tests so you won't become too excited and subsequently 'disappointed', but instead remain sceptical and sharp in mind as you analyse the results and probabilities.
Now, I have also tested my own DNA on the same test. The results are approximately 60% plus Polish, 14% German, 21% Middle Eastern, 2% Iberian, 0.% African and like 1.5 Central Asian, the rest unspecified.
Do I believe it? Yes and no. For example, I didn't know a single German in my family history, but for the reasons outlined above it is possible being from Poland. The rest could be Ashkenazi/Sephardic Jewish, especially because Sephardi refugees from Spain quickly assimilated into Poland's core Ashkenazi population
Indeed, do not rely on the percentages reported by AncestryDNA, On the other hand, they can give accurate indications in many cases even with some (not all) of the small percentages.
Sephardic-origin DNA can be identified easily - by looking for specific DNA segments shared between Ashkenazic Jews, Sephardic Jews, and Latin American Catholics descended from Spanish-era colonists especially Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. These segments are often coded purely as East Mediterranean or Middle Eastern in GEDmatch's EUtest. Sometimes there may be a West Mediterranean or West Asian element. Segments like this with matches like those are occasionally found in Poles who descend from Jews who converted to Catholicism. Not all Poles descend from Jews, but many do, as you know.
Ashkenazic-origin DNA is fairly similar to Sephardic DNA, since they descend from the same root population of Jews that lived in Italy, but Ashkenazic DNA is not carried by Mexicans or Puerto Ricans except if they descend from a 19th-20th century immigrant.
Identifying Slavic DNA is also easy many times because it often has a predominance of South Baltic and East European deep ancestral signals in EUtest. So, when a segment is shared between Poles and Jews, and there are no other clues from genealogy, look at the segment itself to see the signals it presents, to give an idea of what ethnicity the common ancestor was.
Hi buddy! Your commitment to heighten Poland's status is remarkable. If you really love Poland, as I do even though I am not Polish, you should use the influence you have on the media and, thereby, institutions, to recommend reforms on employment and health insurance laws across Poland. Work has to be regulated (apprenticeships, paid internships, etc) and the ill deserve to receive treatment without waiting months before they are checked. Those are two main issues in Poland. Miłego dnia do wszystkimi.
From what company did you purchased the DNA test?
If you do the tests from different companies, over and over again, under different names, you'll get different results.
You might be interested, even thou you probably know this. When it comes to Slovakia an Malopiolske region, Both of these parts were for a centuries part of Austrian/A.-H. Empire. So the population in northern and eastern Slovakia (I was born here :D ) Is very mixed. Even after collapse of A.-H. Empire, there was still huge Polish minority, for example most Jews in Slovakai were Polish. This sadly change in WW2 period, when most Jewish population was deported from Slovakia. :(. So in the end, if you have some ancestry in Slovakia, it is probably Jewish by belief, I tough you might find that interesting. :)
Some Catholic Rusyn people from northeastern Slovakia have small amounts of actual Ashkenazic Jewish ancestry.
I will be more specific. (1) The Y-DNA haplogroup G-P303 (G2a3b1) has been found with close matching between Ashkenazic Jews, Karaite Jews, and Rusyns from Slovakia, and (2) many of the autosomal DNA matches between Ashkenazic Jews and Rusyns from Slovakia are from common Jewish ancestors.
Which testing service did you use? I'm waiting on a 23andMe kit, but as far as I know they only break down Eastern European ancestry into a single broad category. I would love to have a detailed regional breakdown like what you outlined here. Dzięki!
Hey! regards from girl who was living in Gliwice 23 years before she moved to Spain- from the same reason you decided to stay in Poland.
¿En que parte de España vives? Yo vivo en Cantabria
Kiedyś Polska była od morza do morza ;)
Devman Nie do końca
Kiedyś Polski nie było :)
Polska powstała w 966 roku. Od morza do morza to była Lechia - federacja plemion słowiańskich.
Marcin Manikowski jestem niemal pewien że miał na myśli okres panowania Kazimierza Jagiellończyka, za którego Polska odzyskała Pomorze Gdańskie a Mołdawia była lennikiem polskim
No tak... tylko jest jedno ale. Lenno to nie jednolity organizm państwowy.
Slovak, not Slovakian.
You have to understand he is 40% Irish it is one of those western words
You’re an idiot for commenting that
I’m is shivers !!!
I’m happy that most of you is Polish!
You find your roots and I’m proud of you as you are a great person !!!
Omg Im watching watching and suddenly you speak about Nowy Targ my home town ❤️❤️❤️😊
Witam, żeby określić narodowość w 100% za pomocą DNA, trzeba by przez setki lat trzymać poszczególne narody w zamknięciu. Ludzie od zawsze przemieszczali się za pracą, handlując, uciekając przed wojną i nawet "za komuny" gdy przemieszczanie było ograniczone zawierali międzynarodowe małżeństwa. Test DNA mówi ogólnie o pochodzeniu z określonej grupy ludności, a to czy jesteś Polakiem, Słowakiem, czy Rusinem, to zależy od wychowania, od tego co masz w sercu i umyśle i za kogo uważali się Twoi przodkowie.

We may be cousins. I am 62% Eastern European according to AncestryDNA. My father came from Knurow, a town north of Rybnik and south of Gliwice. I found many birth, marriage and baptism records from Gliwice. I also took a DNA test with FamilyTreeDNA, where I found that my Y-chromosome haplogroup is R-BY593. This suggests that my direct male lineage originates in Silesia for the past 1500 years. It is very interesting to me, and quite an enjoyable hobby. I can trace my father's lineage via records, back 6 generations. On my mother;s side, using records and also using MyHeritage and Ancestry, I can trace my maternal side as far back as I can imagine. I can even trace back to direct ancestors Bolesław I the Brave and his father Mieszko I , and beyond.
nanabijou62 are both ur parents full polish?
No. As far as I can tell from my family tree, my father's side is majority Polish. A great-great grandmother on my father's side had a surname of Schott but came from Czech Republic, but it sounds rather Germanic. The direct male lineage is Silesian. On my mother's side is a full mix from Scandinavia, Austria, Hungary, Germany, Spain, Bohemia, France and Britain.
@@nanabijou62 what a mix ! Where do you live today ? If I may ask. Bijou 62, Northern France maybe ? Département 62 ?
Kult America : Thanks for your report. Please let your audience know which texting service you used.
Where did your mom get the kit?
ancestry . com or 23andme . com. I did it too. Dont be surprised if you are 10-20% Jewish. Lot's of Polish people are
Slashplite What kind of shite are you talking about? Poles don't aquire even 2% of the Jewish DNA on average, and their DNA is J1. It is more common in Slovakia, around 6% on average. 10-20% Jewish ancestry is absurd and an insult to the Polish people, we are proud of our Slavic heritage. We are one of the purest Slavic nations along with Belarus with around 50-60% R1a (Dna for Slavic peoples, with many subclades I'm not going to get into) :)
+Slashplite what makes one jewish?
Back in the days of WWII it was simple to tell who's a jew. All you had to do is check an ausweis and a kennkarte with prominently displayed JUDE, secondly, lack of a foreskin unambiguously defined you as an Arab or a jew. Same thing to the Germans, "ganz egal". Today we need a photo ID positively identifying a jew-jew. Ever since Germans gave up on an auswies and kennkarte with the "Jude" inscription we have all kinds of schmucks posing as wannabe jews, crypto jews, confirmed jews, suspected jews, quantum jews, half-jews, muslims, professional jews, secular jews, lapsed jews, reformed jews, converted jews, jews in waiting, jews in the field, jews in Oświęcim and über juden. They all think jewishness is a social construct. The jew ID should be issued by "fish and game" state agency valid for no more than 4 years after which an applicant will have to pass a physical exam of mutilated genitals and an oral test of forked tongue jewishness. Jewesses need not apply, a loud mouth is enough proof.
Mieczysława Włotrzewiszczykowycka
J1 is not jewish, jewish dna is E and J2, because they are fake semites
Ryan, you've got a Polish heart. All the rest is de facto irrelevant. :-)
Being etnically polish mean he has an identity, and history in that land, so yes etncity matters, why do you think most inmigrant still follow their parents traditions because they dont have an history in the land they migrated
i have to take that test :D That would be quite interesting
Great video.
Indeed it does say that 13% of your ancestry does account for Ireland and 20% accounts for Great Britain. However, that 13% represents the Republic of Ireland. Moreover, Great Britain includes Northern Ireland. The red concentration on the map shows that the concentration of your ancestry is mainly in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland(which is a part of Great Britain). So in actuality, by looking at the map, it would suggest that the majority of your 20% ancestry from Great Britain, was mainly from Northern Ireland. Which would probably make you almost 33% Irish(Yes the Northern Irish are as Irish as the people from the Republic of Ireland). You don't necessarily have much English ancestry in you at all, although there might be a little bit of English in you. But the majority of that 20% is clearly from Northern Ireland. I hope that helped.
Alex Dixon most northerns are scots. you can even hear that in their accents that is worst crap I ever heard.
actually the Protestants in Northern Ireland were mostly Scottish and to a lesser extent English settlers who were given land in Ulster in the 16 and 1700s because the region tended to be very rebellious.
Actually Great Britain does not physically include Northern Ireland. In the test context it refers to the large island that contains England Scotland and Wales.
I'm english and live in Slovakia. You look totally slavic to me! Your eyes/nose/eyebrows
I hope that you feel well in our country :)
Your name is not English though
Like you, I was hoping for a mixture of ethnicities. Some of my dad's family has light brown skin, so I was hoping for Central Asia. However, the results came out that I'm 97% Eastern European, most all of it in Poland (area of Lodz) with a very little in Lithuania, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. The only surprise was that my third greatest ethnicity is Polynesian (less than 1%).
damn , how did you do this DNA test ? I'm interested in it
DNA is real whether you like it or not. Americans come from Saxons Polish come from Slavs and by the way, a word "slav" does not come from slave, as you Americans/English want to think. It is actually an eastern european word and originate from a word "slava" which in English means something like "glory" or "virtuous" or "regards".
To think of Poles as JUST Slavonic is a huge mistake. Poles are also Baltic (mixed with Prussians, Lithuanians), Finno-Uralic (mixed with Hungarians a lot), Germanic (mixed with native Ostrogothic people of Poland, then with Germans, then with Sweden and Denmark), and finally Turkic (invaded by various tribes) and Iranian.
Even the last kings of Poland were Saxon.
yes, in a very very tiny fracture of percentage we are mixed due to historical circumstances of constant conquests (or attempts of thereof) , wars and upheavals but vast majority are monolith nation. Yes, indeed we have instances of having foreign kings, but it was foreign element which is a whole lot of other issue because it ended up badly always.
+Kult America listening to you I could never tell you are from the States. You sounds more like a European who speaks decent English. Funny how living in a country with different language can change your accent, even mother tong:)
I totally agree with you. I thought he was Polish who's trying to imitate an American accent
I have to agree with you. I should know, I'm Polish.
To me, he’s American, any doubt. I do not hear any Polish accent. He’s just speaking like many young American oriole today.
Nowy Sącz na YT, czuje się wywyższony YEAH
Gdzie można zrobić taki test? Całkiem fajnie to wyszło :)
I'm not surprised, you look indeed slavic (perhaps with an Irish touch :) ).
My ancestor is Ezio auditore
same
Also my😏
Finally :)
I'm glad there we have poles like U
Good for You! ;)
Halo! That subject may be even coolest when you stop cursing
I was born in Poland... but I'm ethnic KEKistani!!!!
We have the same heritage except I have German heritage as well. :) So cool to see it all laid out. So I have Welsh, German, Polish, and a big portion is just Eastern European unknown from around Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia, etc.
That is awesome. I know I am Ukrainian and Polish but, I would like to know how much per cent of each. Which DNA test did yo use?
You are right. It's very typical for Polish DNA haplogroup is R1A1. At the same time the greatest concentration of this also Slavic?Sarmats?aryans haplogroup is in Poland and.....in Iran (ancient Persia) ! So Poles were right calling themselves Sarmats. This discovery has also many territorial consequences, cause e.g. eastern Germany reaching Berlin (historically being Poland - defended untily XII (?) century by Polish warrior Jaksa, ultimately lost Berlin), so Hitler wanted to be Aryan (looking the trace of them even in Tibet) not knowing that murdered during WW2 Poles are Aryans! :( Until now in Germany R1A1 can be foung (about 25%?). DNA showed for the first time scientifically that Poles are for thousands of years in Europe, so I started to believe in Lechia history erase during parttioning of Poland by Russian and Prussia historical policy and writeing historical books for Poles. It shows why in Kraków we still have the mounds of Krak King and Wanda Queen (untile these DNA researches all we were told that they were only legendary rulers) have over 2000 years. Poland it's name accepted after Baptism in 966, so earlier must have been already strong and well organized state/country, although being pagan one. It was Lechia/Leckhia, and we still have the name in ancient countries like Turks (Poland = Lehistan), Persia/Iran (Poland = Lahestan) etc. etc., but language' memory of younger countries but old tribes e.g. current Russia or Ukraine - memory of language saved the name "Lachy" to name Poles. Recently I've read very interesting book by *Janusz Bieszk: Słowiańscy królowie Lechii. Polska starożytna* . Unfortunately 120 years of partitioning and foreign historical policy completely erased these facts from awareness of Poles, even today the textbooks for history start history of Poland in 966 - so we should ask, if in 966 Poles suddenly landed in Poland in UFO? Out of space? :) Regards
Be proud being a Polish man
lmao Polish Falangist vs. Liberal German
How can you be proud of being Polish? What the fuck.
Solen how can u be proud to be a traitor??
Traitor? Lmao. It's not a fucking war If I Don't like my country Its not a fucking crime. Poland sucks It's a fact, fucked up goverment and organizations like ONR.
Solen odrazu wiedziałem że jesteś Polakiem bo takie coś tylko ein Polnisches swinia może pisac
I would like to do test like that! Though I'm Pole and my family is mostly from there I think... (grandpa who was reared in first year of his life by a German's officer wife matter?) But it would be so cool if I had some Scandinavian origins :D
And... sorry if I make any mistakes in grammar or something like that, but I'm still learning. I know u talk in Polish, so I didn't have to fatigue my mind to think in English for these few seconds, but I think riting in English can be good for study
Which DNA test did you use? I didn't see one yet that would show the clusters like that.
I'm from South-West Poland and 90% Eastern European. Jewish only .3% Haplogroup I1-d. Ancestry from Scandinavia.
Christopher Macias did you do 23andme or AncestryDNA? Just curious, sorry for asking.
You 100 % Polish...
nice man!
So does anyone know which DNA test this was? It seems more accurate than most of the other tests I've seen advertised
Race and ancestry ARE a part of our identity and are, as such important. I'm tired of people saying "being Polish is just a matter of values !" -- no it's not, just stop with your decadent anti-identitarian propaganda. European countries were, for most of their history, homogenous when it comes to population and ethnicity. Whenever they weren't it ended badly anyway, especially in Poland. But no, stupid lefties must explain to us that anybody who migrated here can be a 100% from just abandoning their culture and liking the local country.
Sorry to break your bubble, but adopting the local culture and liking the country is A REQUIREMENT to stay here permanently, not a "plus value" that makes you Polish. If you don't do these two things, then you shouldn't be living here in the first place.
The general De Gaulle said : it's very good that there are brown French, yellow French, black French. It shows that France is opened to all races and that the Republic has an universal meaning. But they must remain a small minority. Otherwise France won't be France anymore. France is a country of white race, Christian religion, Greek and Latin culture" -- I agree with that statement entirely. And from our Polish perspective, we who did never have any colonies, we should wan that minority to be even tinier.
Stop being afraid of saying loud that migrants from the third world will never be true Europeans. They may be nice, well educated people, better than the locals, but there's one thing they won't change ; their origins. We, Poles, don't want to change our long fought identity from stupid immigration.
Placki Plicki you could be brown and be British . If your mixed raced and have one British parent than your British .
Chelsea Jane
Because Homo Office said that?
+Hiponakte Oh, how much ignorant history benders like you irritate me. Europeans countries WERE homogenous. Your arguments are false and manipulative.
As far as France is concerned, between Clovis and Napoleon III times (500-1850) immigration to France was almost non-existant. Talking to me about gypsies that were there since 1400 is amongst the stupidest things I have read this week. Yeah, there were some gypsies in France, like ... 0.05%. The same way there were also Muslims in Poland since the XVth centruy ; tatars. What is your point ? That if you have one foreigner in your country, the local population isn't homogenous anymore ? What kind of stupidity is that ? If over 99% of the population are ethnic locals, then the population is homogenous.
Plus one thing is to take immigrants from culturally and ethnically close nations, and an other, to take people from the other side of the globus like it is done today. The impact on the national identity is not the same.
Plus the examples you mentionned (Tsiganes, Bretons ...) didn't mix much with the locals. Bretons almost all lived in the french "Bretagne" region, and gypsies had their own communities.
Britain also almost never had any immigration prior to the XX century. Only Normand invasion in the XIth and some protestant migration in the XVIth and XVIIth. And so on, and so on. The sole exception was ironically Poland, which before WWII had indeed gigantic amounts of jews, along with many germans.
Sorry to break your bubble, but yes, Europe was pretty homogenous before globalization.
The human race need to mix to survive.
Placki Plicki Facts!
Poland is not eastern country ...
jest geneticke
what?
Poland is genetically similar to Eastern European and not western europeans. Poles closest genetic relatives are first ukrainians and Belarusians
No matter, geography of Poland is Central. Same goes for Czech and Slovakia that's why he is wrong. Following Ya logic Spain and portugal are middle east Arabic countries.
Yes there is such a thing as "central europe" but we split europe in western europe where the anglos spaniards germanic etc live and eastern europe those are basicly all slavic countries + those baltic ones all the way to Russia.
Don't be surprised about Slovakia. The area you talk about is Śląsk Cieszyński. That is a part of Śląsk of course. Just like Gliwice :) It looks like your great-great-grandfather left his village/town dozens years ago to take advantages of living in Gliwice - the city that used to be a centre of the region for many years. And he had found your great-great-grandma there :D
Even it wasn't particularly Gliwice. Still the area of thriving industrial metropolis it is today :)
Where did you took that test ? You had to send your sample somewhere?
no taki test kosztuje ponad 1000zł
It costs 79 dollars or 79 pounds not 1000 zl!
i really doubt it, genealogical test is really expensive
Taki test kosztuje ok. 100 euro :)

Dude, be HAPPY you're 60% Polish! Exotic being Japanese or Cherokee? Come on, that's a bit a put-down to your Slavic ancestry. I'm 11% Slavic with other being 49% Scandinavian with my fathers line being Anglo-Saxon/Frisian, so be thrilled about this! My wife is 100% Ukrainian and I love Ukraine and her ancestry. Slavic babes are the most beautiful on the planet, so be proud you're Polish!
I was very happy about my results coming back 100% EUROPEAN.
Oooh, you sound like you think there is such as a thing "most" beautiful there is, and being 100% EUROPEAN & Slavic is somehow racially superior, too.
Jacqueline Esmaili there is no "shame" in being any nationality and there IS much pleasure and celebration in heritage. And, as "Caucasian" means what type of skull type one has, there is nothing anyone can do about that. People of the Caucasus region are also Caucasian, so good for them.
One's skull shape is just the way one is made -- probably most Indians (India) and some Africans (East Africa) have that physiognomy, too, and are also thus, technically Caucasians. That's great.
But, as you know some people, unfortunately, do feel they are "better" than others for those kind of traits. Some even talk about being "pure", "the smartest", "the most beautiful" or "the best" on the planet. This is a little different from pride and pleasure in one's family and heritage. If you think "we should all" be proud of what we are, which is I see nothing wrong with, then how is someone who claims one group is "most", defensible? That's a contradiction.
Jacqueline Esmaili and of course, some folks are highly ethnically mixed and "racially ambiguous", so holding onto 100% Caucasian-ness as a reason for immense pride (purity) wouldn't resonate with them.
Jacqueline Esmaili please look up what "Caucasian" or Caucasian race means.
Jacqueline Esmaili it's a commonly used word, but a bit outdated, let's say... It's up to you how much you want to investigate the loaded meanings behind it, but, personally, when I learned more about this subject, the science turned out to be arcane guesswork, and the scientists behind these definitions, politically motivated. They were neglectful of huge populations or results that didn't conform to their opinions on who was or should be, superior. I don’t need to point out which human population this group of scientists generally came from. I don't believe anything is "wrong" with that in itself -- but it leads to a focus on one group, their superiority and justifications for dominance, etc., over other human groups. Individual researchers who don't tow the line aren't as well-known, nor is their work.
Why hope to be Cherokee, Japanese, etc. You are White, you are exotic to non-Whites; be proud brother.
What is the name of the service you used for this test?
Very nice video, thanks
Jak i gdzie można zrobić taki test i jak dużo to kosztuje?
I am a bit surprised you chose to live in Poland. I spent half of my life in Poland (was born there in fact). But then I left, spent years in different places, from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, various European countries. But most of my stays were in the US, roughly split between the mainland and Hawaii. I must say life in the US and Canada is so much better than in Poland, that's beyond a disputable fact.
Yes, there are rough areas. I spent a bit of time in Chicago and hated it. Didn't feel safe at all. But that's more or less true in every country. But most of the US is amazing. And I've probably seen more US than most Americans who have limited annual leave.
It's probably Poland's novelty factor. How can someone choose Poland over, say, Maui? I visited Poland only twice in the last 20 years, last time was last December. What a contrast between my trip across America the previous year. Poland still feels and looks too depressing.
IMHO best places to live:
- Hawaii (esp. Maui, Kauai or the Big Island)
- US Mainland with exception of some big cities
- Canada
- Japan
+John S Ever heard of individual subjective preferences?
Looks too depressing? No fucking shit, if you chose December and expected people smiling and laughing everywhere then congratulations, you get the ultra-smart award. (Ironic, of course.) Life in Poland is good.
Some people look to others to provide them opportunities, others can take challenges and find opportunities within countries like Poland. My parents also left Poland seeking opportunities in America. Now years later I see clearly that they just weren't as industrious as others who achieve big dreams in Poland. They worked hard, made sacrifices, had grit, but didn't know how to go outside their comfort zone, how to negotiate, how to build social networks, how to invest in themselves to achieve more
its because you are brainwashed to think that those countries are better
As someone who's immigrated to the US just a few years ago, tbh I don't think America is a great place to live unless you're rich. But then again I haven't been to all of the US and it's huge. Either way, all countries have their pros and cons.
Nice but please remember Poland, Slovakia and Czechia are in Central Europe. Eastern Europe is Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria and Moldova. :)
Who cares, it's subjective
But people care, because North is South and East is not West.
Slashplite Ukraine isn't Europa, it's Orkland
The test means: Eastern European= slavic = ethnic group
Hi my friend;I wish you would take note of it and try to remember in the future whenever to topic will come up:Poland is a country in Central Europe;read Norman Davies` "Heart of Europe" should help you to place the whole bit in right neighborhood .Besides this,pretty cool presentation.Keep up the good work.
My grandparents actually live in leśnica, about 5 minutes away from nowy targ
Lituania isnt slavic.I dont know why they doing like this
Exogeneity/endogeneity of populations and results. In contemporary Lithuania, pretty much most of the population would be at least partly Polish and vice versa. If you tested your DNA you would most likely be partly Polish as well as Baltic and possibly Nordic and Uralic/Finnic.
Laura Lewant is not the same polish.polish are slavic.we are baltic are totaly different.also the language is different.maybe the part of lithuanians have a little bit of slavic or finish part but not all.we were very closed population as swedish.we arent russian we arent finish that is totaly different.
Laura Lewant baltic populations like lithuanian and latvian are different from other countries look at google.
Dawid Salomon if you say that we are highly mixed you dont know nothing about lithuania and other baltic states
We lithuanians are wery angry if you say that we are mixed because its not the truth.by the way we are very nationalistic
Ethnicity and ancestry doesn't matter. What matters is what you identify with!
Actually thats kind of my rule, when people move to Poland I don't take into account where they are from so much as what they contribute here, do they learn the language, do they pay tax, do they love the country.
UnnTHPS If a mouse is born in an aquarium, it doesn't make it a fish.
What's even more revealing is what other people identify you with.
LOL, arean't mice and fish technically different species?
Kult America Some people argue that different human races are different subspecies, just like tigers have many subspecies that can interbreed. Besides, OP's comment is a ludicrous notion, considering that just because a white European male "identifies" himself to be Liberian, doesn't actually qualify him as one.
Which test did you take? 23&me, Ancestry or Family Tree. I am curious because it seems you got your results pinned down to specific places in Europe and I would like to have something similar done.
Jo Greg based on the interface at the 5:50 mark, I’m pretty sure it’s AncestryDNA. Also, “European Jewish” is a term that’s only used by AncestryDNA.
