Hey! I acttualy im basque. I was born in the basque country, my parents are basque, i’ve spoken basque since i was 3 and i live the basque culture. I think its so wonderful the work you put into your videos. I really admire you :)
Hey Jon, so glad to hear you're enjoying the channel! Thank you for your very kind comment.
I want to learn it
No need to flex on us normies 😂

Kintana con K? parece un apellido castellano euskaldunizado.
I grew up in Mexico and I grew up always listening to my grandma tell stories about them moving from place to place. I never played attention until I started digging into my ancestry. Now here I am discovering I'm part Basque , French & most importantly Mexican. Growing up I was always asked if you're Mexican why are you white? It was the most annoying thing ever.
That does sound like a super annoying question! Glad you're looking into your ancestry :) It's super interesting
My dads aunt told me when I was a little boy. before we came to morelia mx that we were Basque.and it my not be a coincidence that we settled near chino ca. in 1912.then I did my dna and it all made sense most of my genetic make is Basque.
@Lewendoski 19 thank you sir.
Mexican here with Basque ancestry as well.
You look Mexican
I’m Mexican-American and I just did an ancestry test, and apart from the obvious Spanish & indigenous, I was surprised to see Portuguese & Basque! The basque culture is so interesting!
same!
Same, I’m Chicano from Southern California and I’m 12% Basque. Aldecoa, in traditional Basque, spelt “Aldekoa”, is a Basque name. My 2nd great-father was Basque, born 1844, who integrated to Sonora, Mexico.❤🕺😎
Me too!
Me too, Spanish, portugués, Puerto Rican and Basque.
@@jonathanaldecoa1099 so cool you traced that. I’m trying to see where my connection is. We are Uriarte’s from Sinaloa.
First Generation here in Boise. Both parents born and raised in Biskaia with the majority of our family still there. We are fortunate enough to have a home there that we travel back and forth from regularly. I absolutely love what you are doing. Keep it up. Happy to help in any way possible. Speak Basque since birth and am an absolute Basque history nerd.
Just discovered today by my DNA test that I,m almost 20% basque! And I’m O- blood too.....blessings from Brazil......🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
My Grandma’s family was from the basque country My dad always told me to be proud of my basque blood
This is so cool just received my Ancestry and I'm 7% Basque. Definitely going to binge your videos I'm Hella Basque! 🤙
I know that I’m 20% basque because of my grandmother she was born in Mexico but she is fluent in basque... I don’t speak it but I do understand what there saying....
In analyzing my DNA results, I discovered that I am 3% Basque. Obviously, it is not a considerable percentage, but it’s humbling to unearth this connection with a unique community.
That's really cool! Isn't it fascinating how they can pinpoint such details in DNA? I love that you're taking an interest in your Basque DNA
It definitely motivates me to learn more about the variables that define the basque culture. I can’t wait to see further developments in DNA research.
Which test did you use?
@@rrn7689 You have to import your raw DNA from any company like Ancestry etc to GedMatch. Once in Gedmatch you use the Eurogenes and it will break down how much Basque you have.
@@11jackdaws which Eurogenes test exactly?cause I did k13 and only offers French Basque, and no Spanish Basque, what i supose is that Spanish Absque is included Cantabrian_Spanish, and gedmatch only gives you an estimation about how close are you to other populatiosn,is no exactly a analytic aproach but statistic. MyTrueAncestry is worse...
You all forget those DNA test....being a basque is a indentify feeling.....if you love our culture and do it your culture...you learn our lenguaje...and enjoy our traditions....your basque adn can be 0% but you will be a 100% Basque heart.
Greetings from Bilbao.
Beautifully said
Wow, very welcoming! Thnx. I have yet to find out my exact heritage, but am very intrieged of the Basque ppl.
This is great!!!i grew up thinking I was Mexican and after doing ancestry I found out I’m just a small part Mexican, but I have much more Spaniard, Portuguese and Basque with a little bit of French
you seen to be ignorant, mexican its not an ethnicity
I’m puerto rican, but my ancestry dna came up 5% Basque. This was very interesting to hear about how this ties in with latin america because I had no idea what Basque even was.
@@navarrenavarre Who said I wasn’t proud?
People from Basque migrated to Puerto Rico and South America. And remember, Puerto Rico was the very last possession of Spain.
I’m 27% Indigenous Colombia, 20% Indigenous Mexico, 3% Basque, 30% Ireland, 14% Sardinian and 6% Swedish. I don’t have much connection to Basque culture but it’s amazing)
I’m black but from the Caribbean and the here is Basque in my DNA. I never heard of it and have been doing some research. Thanks for sharing.
I'm African American and have Basque. It's called the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade!!!!
I'm curious to know about these people, like will they accept black people in their race? The Spaniard have significant Black/African blood and so do the Portuguese.
I recently found out I have Basque ancestry. Very interesting to know how unique the language and people are.
Very cool, welcome to the club! :)
Great video! I'm also learning Basque because my dad had told me that one of his great grandparents was from the Basque Country before immigrating to Mexico, and I took an Ancestry DNA test, and it came out that I am 7% Basque, so therefore, I have some ancestry that can be traced there. So I have begun learning the language to reintroduce it back into my family tree, and hopefully pass it down to any children I have in the future to make sure the Basque language doesn't die out in my family line.
7 % bask means no shit
Only 7% huh? But you’re Mexican right?
So do you speak Nahuatl? Mixtec? Otomi? Zapotec maybe??
Learn about your culture first before you go around stretching 7% of nothing.
@roberto lang 😆 cold blooded Rob... I'm also 7% Baque. What now?
@@robertolang9684lol
@@robertolang9684not true. 7 percent is a lot. Some where in your family tree there was a Basquian.
I am of second-generation Cuban parents who’s grandparents came directly from Spain. I have 4% Basque. Nice to have found further information. Great vid.
Oh whew, thanks for this. I just got my DNA results today and you have answered my questions. thank you. I will be back. I'm in New Zealand.
Omg I got my ancestry results and Im 36 percent basque. !!
Wow that's awesome!
thomas anderson My family is small alot of history has been lost over an old family drama. And I thought i was mostly mexican since my family all lives in mexico. Maravillas is the last name and im 40-45 percent northern iberian peninsula the rest is mexico native american and 3-5 percent Scandinavian region. And of course 3-5 percent Northern African. God I want to find out more lol
I have 33% percent of DNA 🧬
Same 1/3
Welcome to our beautiful culture.
Funny thing is I had heard of the Basque culture as a kid and was really drawn to them but never really delved more into it. Fast forward to today and I found out I have a whopping 6% Basque ancestry and I couldnt be more excited. It's almost like my genetics were trying to pull me in that direction as a kid and I didnt listen lol
I am first generation American. My dad still lives in the US. I have a huge, family in the Basque Country and we have a huge family and I have lived there. Basque culture is amazing.
My grandfather was from Spain and came to the US to Boston and made his way to Texas. He died around 1943. I was told he was Basque and confirmed via DNA test. So I'm hella Basque. Thanks for starting this channel.
Thanks for stopping by the channel and sharing your grandfather's story!
Basque girl here too! So excited to stumble on your channel!💛
Last name?
I'm so glad you found the channel! Thanks for checking it out!
MyQuijada so your basque tonta to
I’m 58% Basque which is super interesting. Thanks for this video!
Omg ahaha I love this.. I'm Basque and I've known this for a few years now and I still know next to nothing.. thank you so much for this
0:48 just found out that I am Basque! This is so cool! Thank you for making videos and the website
Welcome to the Basque club! Glad you found the channel
sooo im very basque, my first and last name are both or basque orgin. i just found your channel and its been really enlightening for me because im not very close to my family heritage. thank you!
I was tracing the origins of my Family name 'Mendoza' Basque Mendiotza and found a WHOLE lot of mind blowing information which bought me here. Glad i found your channel 👍🏽 my Ancestor survived 2 years imprisonment and torture during the Spanish Inquisition escaped to Amsterdam and from there my family moved to England. Unfortunately hard times found 1 of my ancestors committing a crime which saw him sent to Australia as a prisoner and from there my great grandfather moved to New Zealand which is where i was born.
Wow that is pretty awesome
This is incredible information! I’m trying research more on my own families lineage in basque country, could you suggest some online resources?
Many in Northern Spain were Moors or Sephardic (Jews). They were heavily persecuted and many escapes Spain and came to the America's during the inquisition, as my ancestors did. My family name is Basque from Spain and also Sephardic.
@@Lisa-md7tq yes i learnt my family were Shephardic Jewish as well.
I just did an Ancestry DNA test and it came back with 2% Basque. Obviously that isn't very much but it's interesting to look it up online and learn about a culture I'd never heard of before!
Another redhead with basque DNA? 😆
Same here. Mine was just 1% and I’m African American. I was like okay where in my family timeline did this happen lol
@@indiaswaby9542 Basque people are close to Africa so probably Muslim migration or Carthagian migration
I’m half Scandinavian and have less than one percent Basque. I have no idea where it would’ve come from. Lol
Basque a culture? What?
my 5th great grandfather came from Basque to Mexico then 8 generations Texas.
Yessssssssssssssssssssss!!!!
My great grandfather was born in Bilbao, grandfather in Mazatlan, and both my father and me were born in Tucson, Arizona. I am looking into my heritage :) and have made a commitment to learn Euskara.
Thank you soooo much for this channel!
I found your channel like a year ago and my results didn't say anything about Basque, only Spain. Today I got an update and it shows the main update was the addition of Basque
Thanks for your video, I was curious about Basque, I only have 1% ancestry but I wanted to know a little more since I had never heard of Basque
Hey I'm Basque! I know little about my history except that my great grandfather came over with his brother. Great video, awesome content. thanks!
Habla español?
Hi Jonathan, im basque and I think that you wont know the meaning of your surname. Well It means "fountain zone"
danel errazu please tell me ...what does Aispuro/Aizpuru/ Aizpurua means?
Thank you so much for your channel. Turns out I’m 6% Basque (I’m Puerto Rican) and I was so intrigued in finding out what that means. Your videos do assist in learning just a little more.
My father was born & raised in France (Basque) and came here to US at 20. Really love all the info you provide!!
Glad you're enjoying the information, Lucie! Do you know where exactly your dad was from? My dad also came from France, so I'm always curious
@@HellaBasque He came here in 1947 from Aldudes, France.
@@lucieweaver3324 Very cool. I visited Aldude for the first time last fall. A beautiful place!
@@HellaBasque Last time I was there visiting family was in 1984 and want to go back... maybe next year. Keep doing the great Basco work!!
@@lucieweaver3324 what was his lastname ??? I'm from a village next to Aldudes and i was there in primary school and perhaps i know some of his descendents !
I am Basque and proud of it. Thank you for making your videos.
Gora gu eta gutarrak!
I’m Venezuelan but my heritage is Basque. This channel Is so cool.
Hey, thanks for the comment! So happy to have a Basque Venezuelan as part of our Hella Basque community :D
KAIXO
Hello Family, I have found your channel after spending a few days tracing my heritage from my Dad's side right back through the Di Guevara's first arrival and tremendous establishment of modern Malta as we know it. And incredible proud of my Ancestoral connection to Don Diego di Guevara and Sancho Nunez "Ladron" de Guevara and learning about Alva and Navarre. I am your Australian cousin 🐨
I feel very blessed to have found this video and all the resources attache to it. This is my first contact with your work. My ties to the Basque have been established through my efforts in genealogy. My great grandparents had the name "Aguirre". I have a significant number of ancestors that originate from the Basque country.
I am looking forward to examining all your work. Moments ago I subscribed to your newsletter!
Again, thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind comment, and I'm very glad you found the channel! Aguirre is definitely a typical Basque last name. Hope my videos help give more context to your genealogical research.
@@HellaBasque you look like any other Spanish. Where is the difference then?
Thanks for the vid Anne-Marie! (That's my mom's name too!). My son just asked me about our Basque ancestry, and I was ashamed that I couldn't really tell him much except for what I read in an old family history book I have. The only thing I know is that our family is from the Kingdom of Navarre in the Basque country, but aside from that, I know nothing about our ancestry. Thanks for educating us!
Glad you found the video interesting. Very cool that your family comes from the Kingdom of Navarre, sounds like your Basque ancestry goes way back!
Thank you for the video. I'm here after my father and I took a DNA test (FamilyTree DNA) and we both got Basque (as opposed to the French we assumed we would see since my father's surname is French). I have no idea where the Basque could have come from (my father's surname is typically found in Paris) because we've hit a roadblock with "paper trail genealogy" and are stuck after anything beyond my dad's great-grandfather after they immigrated to Canada. Regardless, even if we never find out which relative was Basque, I'm glad to have found your channel and be a part, in some way, of the diaspora.
Found out my last is Gerard and was changed to Gerardo when Great Grandparents moved to Mexico. Very interested in learning my heritage.
My Grandfather, Valentin Felix, was born in Bilboa around 1890 (my educated guess). As a child he would help heard sheep. He emigrated to the US when he was a young teenager. Apparently he took a ship (sailing ship?) from the Basque country and arrived in New Orleans. From there he headed west by carriage across the southern states and decided to settle in Tucson, AZ.
He passed away just prior to my being born, so I was never able to meet him.
My mom tells stories of when she was growing up and when my Grandfather would host Basque get togethers at the house every Friday night.
My mom tells me that I am just like her dad.
I have always been intrigued by the Basque heritage and am proud to be of Spanish Basque descent.
I born in Cuba, but I always knew my family was Basque( vascos) my grandmother spoke the Euskera, but I never learned. I recently did my DNA and shows 92.1% basque!!! Very proud!! a Cuban-Basque- American here!!!
Wow. I got 33% native american, 44% spanish, %10 portuguese 3% basque, 2% french 1%irish 1%italian 1% sardinian 1% middle eastern 3% african and 1% andean, and im mexican!!!!
Wow, a very diverse mix!
Bona Fide MULATTOS are awesome ..😇HEINZ57
Bro my Mexican peps say I'm not mexican bcuz I'm white AF lol my moms from michoacan and my dad's from Tijuana Mexico but my last names leads me that I'm probably Spain decent idk lol
Yo you do know Mexican is not a race or ethnicity dont you. I have this discussion with so many of the younger members of our family. They think they are Mexican, but that is not correct. Just cause you speak Spanish didn't mean your Mexican. Their are Asians who are born in Mexico more mexican then these Americans who think they are Mexican.
@@artloz6345 I bet. If u listen to the polka music from Spain it sounds like mexican gave it a twist with corridos but who knows
7% Basque! So cool.
I just found out through my results that I, also have Ancestry in the Basque country! It was a pleasant surprise to come upon this video when I went to search 'Basque'.. Never heard of this country, or ever heard the name. But your video was very enlightening, thanks so much! 😊
My Great Grandparents are from Oloron St Marie and Ledeuix, love your videos
Great work neska
I recently discovered I am 1% Basque & I find the fact that I am a descendant from someone who was Basque very fascinating I’ve been reading up on my heritage & I saw their culture & what they like to do are things I just naturally love to do myself I don’t know who in my family tree was Basque just yet & I hope to discover that in time.
We were always taught about our Basque heritage. Im 40 and live in Los Angales. My grand parents used to take is to. Elko nevada . I need to take my own kids .
Very cool, Elko is legit Basque on 4th of July weekend :) Hope you can take your kids to the National Basque Festival there one day.
I'm 11% Basque so excited to get to know more about it .
Thank you for this! Ancestry just unexpectedly told me I was 20% Basque! I had no idea, I was expecting all English, Irish and German. This is very helpful because now I want to learn more. Subscribing!
My great grandfather's family immigrated to Argentina in the 1910s. They together with some other Basque families were the ones who actually founded the Basque Cultural Center of Argentina. My surname is Ituarte and my family is from Mutriku. Nice videos!
Very cool! Impressive that you know your family history that well.
Wow I think we might be related… my last name is also Ituarte what a small world. I currently live in Phoenix but was born in Mexico. Nice to virtually meet you 👋
Good information thank you.
You're welcome! Hope you got something out of the video
Basque people very special people in the world with their mystery surrounding them
I hope this channel is not over but I just found this video. I’m American of Cuban parents, ancestry DNA states I’m 20% Basque. I always knew I was Part Basque because of my last name.
Great vid I actually just found out about my Basque Heritage.
Thanks! Welcome to the Basque heritage club!
I’m from the Caribbean and found myself to have Basque ancestry. I was so very confused as I had never heard of it before. But I’m also Spanish and Portuguese (among 16 other regions also). My entire name is French so I expected French ancestry, but my DNA result showed me NO French ancestry. So weird. Very cool learning about the Basque heritage and history.
It’s so interesting to learn about our DNA! I took an ancestry test and got indigenous America’s central 32%, Spain 21%, indigenous americas Mexico 17%, Italy 12%, Cameroon, Congo & Southern Bantu people’s 3%, European Jewish 2%, Basque 2%, indigenous America’s Andes 2%, Senegal 2%, Northern Africa 1%, Turkey & the Caucasus 1%, Eastern Bantu people’s 1%, indigenous America’s Colombia & Venezuela 1%, Portugal 1%, Malta 1%, England Wales & Northwestern Europe 1%.
mine is really similar to yours!
Wow that alot !!!
@@SunnyDizzle81 same
I have Bassano ancestry. Which DNA test did you take?
And I thought I had a lot of different cultures.
I recently discovered that I have 1% Basque DNA. What a cool thing to find out!
Just found out I also have 1% Basque DNA. Not a large percentage but proud to find out that I have a small part of this proud heritage.
I just found out I am 60% basque. Your channel is amazing
All I know is my grandfather was basque, moved to Venezuela when young and traveled.. he passed away when my dad was a little boy, and my father passed when I was a little girl... as a single mother my mother moved to the US, All I know about my BloodLine is from stories my mother tells me.. my last name is Irureta and was always told it was a wierd last name screw them I love it.. I’m also Rh- and found out its from my basque background.. along with other interesting facts.. I’m intrigued to learn a lot more about my background since I can’t ask my father’s family as I didn’t grow up with them or at least haven’t seen them in over 20 years.
Interesting family history, I'm glad the knowledge of your Basque roots wasn't lost in all of that moving around!
I want to go so bad.. I dig deeper into it and the curiosity about my family history and background grows more and more. Your channel is awesome thanks for all the info 🥰 hope I can one day go and trace down my Irureta family just meeting them would fill me up with so much joy ☺️
My Grandparents left the Basque Country during the civil war my dad was born in London and then the family moved to Australia so I’m 50% Basque and very proud of my ancestry.
Love your channel and your T-shirts especially the “Hella Basque” one you are wearing can I buy one?
Great video.
Thank you!
My great grandparents were from Spain and I just discovered I’m of Basque ancestry. I wanna learn about my heritage.
Very cool, you've come to the right place!
Legaria es un pueblecito de Navarra.
I am 100% basque and i can tell, just by looking at you that you have basque features!!
I'm basque I found out from DNA! Wow I'm excited learning about my diffrent heritage"s i am also Sardinian too. I like your channel and upbeat spirit!
You look Italian
@@asturiasceltic3183 Wow thank you. Its exciting to find out what our heritage is.
Hello Anne Marie, I watched your video on Basque phrases and saw the Basque symbol for the first time which looks like a curly and more stylistic and friendly symbol known in German terms as the swastika which isn't necessarily German as it was used by many ancient groups of people throughout ancient history and when I saw the Basque version it made me wonder WHY this symbol is so prevalent in ancient, ancient history, forget about the German misuse. This anomaly would make a great historical study. Additionally your Father looks like a few of my uncles and you have strong Basque facial features. My last name is said to be Spanish but mystically derived from French. My Father spoke Euskara but that doesn't mean too much because he spoke 6 other languages although he had a lot of Basque friends in California. I never even thought about asking my Father about why he spoke Euskara or about our very mixed lineage. My Father and his Basque friends frequently sat at a long table on a grassy hill drinking lots of wine, eating various sausages, nuts, cheeses and sourdough bread which may Father made himself.
I just found out I have a small % of Basque in my DNA. I’m mainly Irish, Scottish, Welch, German, small % from Finland, and Norway. This is all so interesting to me to find out about my heritage. Thank you
Welcome to the club! Very cool that you have a little Basque DNA mixed in with all of that Northern European heritage :)
That’s almost the same DNA as me 👍🏻
How amazing is your work!!! I was searching for my Basque origins and I found you ♡
My last name is Biscaya from my dad's family and I'm from Brazil. I never made this DNA test, my only proof of basque ancestry is the name, without counting on the Portuguese/Spanish blood.
Aww thank you! You're literally named after a part of the Basque Country, so I suspect you must have someone Basque down your family tree :)
My last name is similar to yours: Vizcarra.
Im salvadorean so i was surprise to have this come up!
Glad it did! Glad you're here!
I am so happy to have come across these videos! I had no idea where I come from and assumed myself to be a mutt. I just got my DNA done 3 times and I am 73% Basque and 27% Celtic/Welsh which I am learning are also Basque? I'm not sure because I literally just found this all out and I am learning. It is fascinating to have answers and to see all the similarities I share with these people! From Jaw structures, characteristics to even ways of life and preferences. I'm blown away honestly. I'm also quite excited to learn about where I come from. Thank you for making these videos!
Glad you found the channel! That's a really big percentage of Basque, you have :) Good luck in learning more about the culture, hope Hella Basque can help
Bella Kimama 💕💕💕Are you a negative blood 🩸 type please
Which test did you use?
Yep my dad is type O negative Celt and now I caem to find out that his mom was Basque. I lean a lot more towards my mom's side of the family so according to FTDNA I am only 10% Basque but I am sure my brother who leans towards my dad's side is much higher. Plus since my dad has type O negative blood I am sure he is a whole lot more than 10% and I bet his mom was even more. Another thing is that my dad's side of the family struggles with alcoholism. I mean all male members of this family have this problem.
@rhonda I am O- blood type
read the Mark Kurlansky book years ago, super fascinated by their uniqueness --- took a dna test not too long ago and found out Im 22 percent Basque. Would love to learn Euskera and go there one day
Im Mexican American and on the 23andme test results I get Basque County as my top region under Spanish & Portuguese. The closest Basque surname I've been able to dig up is Ibarra. I have type O blood and im severely gluten intolerant.
Thank you for doing this! I appreciate you. I found out my grandmas father was basque or had basque ancestry. He died after one of the big wars from a war injury. I think it was WWII All I knew was I had French ancestry from my grandmas side of the family. Probably also on my dads side I had French. I know I had more Irish from his side but I am sure he also had French. Also I’m from south Louisiana. It was mostly a French colony that settled down in my region I grew up in. I have been around French speakers all my life but turns out I only have 7% of French /France in my dna. I do have 2% basque. So it most have come from a distant relative since my great grandfather could have had basque in him and he passed it down from his side.
Before I even found out I had Basque. I watched videos of basque people and the culture from one of my favorite guys on CZcams., who studies cultures and languages as well as ancient civilizations. Before the update on ancestry I had Spain dna until it updated to basque. I have both Spain and French. But since the update now it’s just French and basque. I also have Venezuela & Columbia indigenous americas. Before that it was Peru & Bolivia. Until it pinpointed to a group of people in the mountains in Colombia & Venezuela. I have Ireland, wales and Scotland as well as England and north western Europe. This was from ancestry dna test I haven’t done anything else yet. My mother did 23& Me.
She has Mesopotamian and African in her dna and other stuff I didn’t get so I plan to also try 23&me to find more in-depth results. If anyone knows about anything else I could possibly use that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙏🏻
receive my ancestral DNA : and now i'm researching about my heritage... interesting to discovered more about the BASque population + i have SPain higher as well.
Crazy. I just constructed a family tree with the help of DNA. I found out that I have Sardinian, Basque, Aquitaine, Galician-Asturian and Celtic (Irish, Scottish) and Belgian roots. It seems to make more sense now watching this video. Thank you!
Irish are basque
Fun fact: Celts and the Basque share close genetics!
@@Juno-gi6fj celts are a made up imaginary people by Irish nationalists.
@@MiloManning05 That's... factually incorrect but ok
@@Juno-gi6fj there is no celts , just Anglo Saxon propaganda
I’m 3 % basque my dad is from Mexico mom from Central America belize 🇧🇿
I haven't done a DNA test yet. I'm not certain I have Basque ancestry but even if I don't, I will still continue studying this fascinating language.
I'm a quarter Basque, my great grandfather Hippilite Lapachet immigrated to San Francisco from the Pyrenees in the late 1800s.
I’m from California too black American got my dna results 8.8% basque
Mine says 1% but still intrigued. Surprised they tested so far.
12% Basque here,,, I live in New Mexico.
I am 1 percent Basque ! I didn't know where it came from but I knew a bit about it i was pretty interested !
Got dna test results and was surprised to find out I was 9% Basque. Very interesting to learn about this
Hey There, I’m 9% Basque too!
For some reason i googled the origin of my last name which is Arriaga and it said it’s a basque surname. Can’t wait to discover more!!
Awesome! Arriaga is definitely a Basque name! :D
What now? Celebrate you're Basque and that makes you awesome!
Found out I'm 6% Basque. Very cool! Thank you for your information!
You're welcome! And welcome to the club!
How did you find out

Rachel Gauger what’s it called
My sister found thru dna testing that we have basque blood. We both have music gifts, vocally, we both play guitar, & I play accordion. So funny that genetics come thru, no matter where or how or by whom you sre raised! 😍
I’ve got 2 percent Basque with a recent Ancestry update and I am not surprised since my mom, dad, brother and I have Rh negative blood. We have a unique heritage that all mixed in the Caribbean.
I did a DNA test and have a bit of Basque, which probably explains why my friend growing up in Madrid was from Bilbao 😁😁 His name was Luigi (not a very Basque name! lol) and he was very proud of his roots. Thanks for the video!
Nice intro. I can’t imagine growing up not knowing.
I have no basque in me whatsoever but Ive always found the Basque culture and language interesting. :-)
I got 4% basque in my DNA test, I remember my grandma saying that her moms family moved to Venezuela from Bilbao, her surname was Amesti which is apparently a Basque surname.
