    When it comes to larger geographical regions, which have been split by modern man into smaller countries, sometimes based on tribal lines, you are always going to get a mashup. The tiny countries are modern and man made, your DNA is older and more regional! :-) And can I just add, VERY COOL!

    So the results (percentages) aren’t what your whole family actually are, they will have different percentages than you.
    You get a random 50% of DNA from each of your parents which means even your full blooded siblings won’t have the same percentages and it possible that they could even get different regions than you as well unless of course both of your parents have the exact same genealogy which is pretty unlikely.
    Interesting results though, can’t wait for mine to arrive !

    I also took Ancestry and am 91% Slavic between Eastern Europe and Russia (Polish & Ukrainian) and Balkan (Croatian), + 5% Baltic and 4% Swedish.
    FWIW, your profile will change over time as more and more people are tested and they have more samples. If you look at the breakdown and follow it down to its most specific, you can get a better idea of where you DNA comes from. When I drilled down into mine, the test hit exactly where both my Polish family migrated from and my Ukrainian (Lemko) family migrated from. My Croatian side was a bit more general, but the town they came from was within that identified region. The Baltic (Lithuanian & Latvian) has shown up more recently and that's not terribly surprising given the history between Lithuania and Poland. The Swedish doesn't really surprise me either since the history of the Kievan Rus includes invasions by vikings. That said, I also won't be surprised if those percentages disappear in a future update since they currently range from 0-4 and 0-5 percent each.

    Keep in mind that you are talking DNA. DNA knows no borders. Groups who later became residents of one country might have had their ancestry from another. If I go back even three generations, I can find someone from Prussia (or the Netherlands … we can’t be sure). Even if you are “English” for a bunch of generations, you are still going to find Danish and French mixed in. Even worse if you are “Baltic” … people migrated between Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia not that long ago. They never had enough genetic isolation to produce a set of genes really specific to them. You want that, maybe have all your ancestors be from Iceland.

  • @zimnizzle

    Your siblings and family members won’t have the same results as you. They’ll be very similar, but they could pull DNA form ancestors that you genetically didn’t pull from. You all have many many ancestors and your genetic makeup can’t have it all, so get your family tested, too. It’s fun to compare. :)

    I couldn't believe you had so many communities listed under "Eastern Europe and Russia". My father's parents were from Poland. My ethnicity estimate says Eastern Europe & Russia 34%. It shows "Northeastern Poland" and then "Central Poland" under it and then it moves on to my other ethnicities (England & Northwestern Europe 25%, Wales 15%, Baltics 13%, etc.) You could say you're Slavic and Baltic, that your parents were from Ukraine but your ancestors were from various parts of Eastern Europe. That's an accurate description of your ancestry but it's also succinct.

    I did my DNA through CRI Genetics. I did extensive research on all the DNA companies in the nation and found that CRI Genetics was exactly what I was looking for. You can order the recent ancestry report representing your last 5 generations. The report match 100% of what my mother has told me about my mother's heritage. I cannot do my father's because I am not a male. I was rather shocked, that everything that my mother told me about her grandparents, great-grandparents, great, great-grandparents and so on was in the report. The only thing that I did not know was the percentages. 54% Scandinavian, 9% Southern, and Central Slavic,
    8% Western Slavic, 7% Germany, 7% Russian and Ukrainian, 6% British Isles, and 6% France.
    I also did my Advance Ancestry Report which I was curious to find out about my oldest ancestries. The population of men and women that lived thousands of years before most current nations, such as Germany or Britain, even existed. The report still included these countries and region names, in order to best help me identify which geographic location my genetic makeup arose from. This was interesting. European 88.9 % , Northern European 39.8 % , British Isle 16.5% , N.W European 14.3% Toscany Italian (Etruscan) 9.3 %, Iberian 9%, South Asian 5.4 %, East Asian1.2 %
    My mtDNA Haplogroup ( Mother Lineage) ancestry lines back to a single common ancestor. Otsi the Iceman ( around 3400-3100BCE) is Europe's oldest natural human mummy and shares my mtDNA. Also King Richard lll ( 1452-1485) and many other famous people.
    My Haplogroup originated in West Asia between 20,000 and 38,000 years ago. Present-day farmers from the Early Neolithic, Near East, and European farmers. They spread during the Bronze Age leading to migration patterns venturing into Germanic countries and Central Asia. Today is particularly common in Northwest Europe.

    • @meatwad1
      @meatwad1 Před 2 lety

      If you're saying you couldn't get your paternal haplogroup because you aren't male, I believe Family Tree DNA might be able to get what they call the predicted haplogroup. You may want to look into it or send them an email and ask if they can give you your paternal haplogroup. Another very interesting site is called MyTrueAncestry. You send them the raw data from a DNA test you've taken and they compare your DNA to DNA from ancient remains. Among other things, my DNA was linked to Scythians and Ostrogoths in present-day Ukraine, Celtic and British gladiators in Roman era Britain, Danish Vikings put to death in England and Swedish and Norwegian Vikings in Iceland and Greenland. A particularly interesting ancestor was listed merely as "High Status Male" in Haunstetten, Germany--apparently a warlord or king.

    I haven’t taken a DNA test but I did see a census from the early 1900s with my ancestors and the country/ area where they came from was listed as Slovakian/ Hungarian. I was always told my grandfather’s family was from Czech/ Slovakia. I know it’s roughly the same area but they didn’t recognize country borders back then which is the same idea as how it’s so many different countries today.

  • @UTFR58

    You should try the 23 & me kit. They tend to be more accurate on eastern European where ancestry kits are better for western Europe.
    Also, even though they will give you initial numbers for your ancestry, they will make an adjustment in 2 or 3 weeks, and give you more defined results. Both Ancestry and 23 & me do this. The first results are a "best guess" and the update in 2 or 3 weeks is a more narrowed down.

    Before the Peace of Westphalia (1648), borders where not a definite thing. Traditionally people organize themselves in clans and tribes and families that gave willing or otherwise allegiance to warlords. The borders changed depending on Kings and wars. There is war over Ukraine now. The fall Ottoman Empire caused chaos and the borders of central Europe were less fixed until post WWII settled. After the fall of the USSR and the Berlin Wall, a lot of small countries reappeared and some disappeared. Having grown up during the Cold War the dissolution of Sarajevo and Yugoslavia stunned me. Yugoslavia only existed from 1918 to 1992. Seventy Four years. I've known several people older than that.

  • @TheNaturalLawInstitute
    @TheNaturalLawInstitute Před 2 lety +3

    Just want to correct a bit here: you SHARE DNA with people in all those countries (because you're all from a common origin) and began 'adapting' from there on - it's NOT that you have collected ancestors from all those countries. It's that your ancestors dispersed to all those countries. So your DNA report looks complicated, when, it's just the opposite. Those countries are 'artificial' borders that separate groups of people that are genetically very similar. (As a west european I am envious of slavic shoulders, arms, and legs, which are less admixed with 'earlier' groups and less subject to selection pressure against height in agrarian mediterranean (warm) europe.) Historically there are three 'races' that created Europeans: the spectrum of European hunter-gatherers from Spain to the Urals (first). The Anatolian farmers (second). And the Steppe Herders: indo Europeans (third). This set of admixtures (hybridizations) resulted in really obvious subraces in europe: the R1b (west), R1a (east), and north and South I1,I2. On a map, southern-greco-italian-anatolian, western european, central german (mixed), and slavic peoples are all obvious. What we see is that the langauge groups: balto-slavic(east), germanic(west), celt-iberian (latin), all expanded in a band across europe the way the english and scotts irish expanded in a band across america. Contrary to current mythology, europeans are more homogenous than any other group outside of japan and korea. The difference is our variation in coloring and neoteny signal greater differences than exist otherwise.

    Ancestry is the best dna kit out there. Also its impossible to pinpoint the exact country because dna has no borders. The country's might be different culturally but they are simular genetically. Ethnicity estimates are far from a perfect science and will constantly change through the years as their dna database grows so in a few years you may be just from a few countrys.

    • @nutyyyy
      @nutyyyy Před 2 lety

      Yes its comparing you to samples from modern populations in those countries. I.e the average Northern French person will have x amount of germanic, celtic or Latin ancestry (all very vague terms but its just to illustrate).
      So comparing your own markers with those samples will give you an estimation of your ancestry. It's not an exact science but it is very interesting. It does only apply to about 10 generations back though but thing is once you get back a few centuries you end up being descended from pretty much everyone who lived at that time and had children just due to the mathematics of reproduction. For example if you had only a single European ancestor a few generations back you would also be descended from the majority of Europeans that lived in 1000AD.
      Its why so many people can trace ancestry back to Kings and other famous people from the time - you could do the same for most common people as well but there aren't usually records for them so people only notice the Kings and Nobility.

    Nothing surprising in that. That area was the cradle of origin for the area. Wars were fought, won or lost, for centuries. Some people were displaced and didn't return to their birth place. Kings and fathers sent sons and daughters off to solidify trade agreements. Kings sent ambassadors off to solidify an ally. People moved around for education opportunities. There were also Gypsies that moved around a lot. It just simply means your DNA is linked to many in those areas. It isn't surprising since that area has over 700 years of recorded history. Ukraine dominated the area for awhile. Poland and the Mongolians did as well before Russia was able to take over.

    Maybe look at a map of Europe, lots of those countries had their borders redrawn after wars.So, what had been part of one larger country, was 100 yrs later a smaller country. Also Europeans have been migrating for hundreds of years, & marrying into different nationalities, that’s why you got the DNA results you did.

We have some similarity to Finns (whom are not Scandinavian and have Dna very diffrent from Swedes, Danes and Norwegians), but as much as we hate to admit it Lithuanians and Latvians are closer to slavs (west and east, south slavs are more greek-like). Don't call us slavs tho. Baltic people have suffered a lot because of slavs (more specifically Russians).

  • @codypendragons
    @codypendragons Před 2 lety

    The truth is that you should look at how long those countries have actually existed what they were before etc etc. probably a lot to do with why it's all bunched together . When it comes to ancestry regions are probably more definitive than actual countries depending on how many generations your looking at. Also an important tidbit is that your DNA and your brothers and your sisters will all show different things because you inherit different things so even if say you were Russian and Irish you might not actually inherit any Irish but your brother or your sister would but they might not inherit as much Russian . I'm oversimplifying a bit(alot) but my point is that there are recessive genes that are sometimes active and sometimes they're not , so you can have the same parents and the same ancestry but genetically you could inherit something very unexpected or unknown or just surprising.

    You need to do a tree with a paper trail to find out which of those countries your ancestors came from. Your tree will be the same for you and your siblings, but your percentages will not. Each person needs to take the test to see what their percentages are.
