i see a very handsome negroe.

They just told you what you want to know. You come from all these different heritages.

Ah, you might like to try CRI Genetics Advanced Ancestry Analysis in addition to their standard test as then you'll not only get their guesstimations of your recent ancestry of about 5 generations back, but you'll also get their guesstimations regarding your extended ancestry for as far back as they can trace, plus on those distant ones that they're reasonably sure are fairly decent, statistically accurate guesstimates, they'll tell you how many generations back each ethnic member entered your family tree (& give you an approximate year, using 25yr intervals). They also offer limited mt-DNA & Y-DNA testing & analysis (FYI: FamilyTreeDNA offers a more complete analysis of these two types of tests). mt-DNA results will show your maternal line for thousands of years (but due to its rate of change it doesn't go as far back as Y-DNA can). Y-DNA results will track your paternal line for about 200,000-to-300,000 years back. Note: Celebrity matches made via mt-DNA & Y-DNA testing generally show very-distant cousins (both living & dead), unless you hit the jackpot & get a celeb-match or more in direct line with your paternal line (which would be a rare occurance, but not impossible). Basically they trace you & a celebrity to an unknown individual found in a dig who was DNA tested & found to have a relevant haplogroup to both you & the celeb (& the ancient unknown guy apparently had at least two sons: one which is on the celeb's direct paternal line, & the other being on your paternal line - unless you hit that jackpot & you're all on one line with no second son being involved). DNA tests can't give you family trees: those you or a geneaologist must make on your own.* * = Not all relationship hints given by testing companies for your DNA matches are relevant & accurate; &, not everyone's family trees are made accurately (& many records are inaccurate &/or use variant spellings of names). Geneaological research can be difficult, disappointing, & frustrating at times. DNA test results can give clues as to where to look for records.** ** = Not all company results show the same countries, esp on distant results; but, there's often a historical connection between the different countries/areas guesstimated (like the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, Greece & countries nearby, plus North Africa share a lot of migration & settlement histories; so, one testing company's guesstimation might be 1% North Africa while another company guesstimates 4% Greek & Southern Italian instead, & yet another company might guesstimate 11% Spain instead, but the percentages don't really matter much, & some historical context will help tie it all together).

Don't sweat the precise terminolgy. Sometimes folk must use incorrect terminology in order for their audience to understand. By saying Taino Indian, the word Indian helps to clue in those unfamiliar with the tribe that this is an indigenous people (an Indian tribe: a Native American tribe) & not a more recent immigrant people or a people of a dufferent contenent (although one might have to explain that they're not a South Asian people). Most - but not all - Indian tribe names, regardless of their varying languages, translate into English as "the people," or "the people of ~," or something along this line (this inspired the writers of the Constitution to begin with "We the People of the United States of America..."). Taino can be translated into English roughly as "The Good Guys" or "The Good People." The Taino of Puerto Rico stemmed from a mainland South American tribe called the Arawak meaning "Cassava Eaters" (suggesting to me that this name was placed upon the tribe by outsiders who observed them, but I could be wrong on this point as it's merely a guess of my own: I have merely glanced over some very limited info relative to the Arawaks: I'm confident that others will know much more about them). P.S.: Don't sweat the percentages. It's good enough that you know the general areas where your ancestry is from (sometimes the guesstimates can become very accurate & easy for the testers to figure, & sometimes it's difficult to pick a particular country let alone a small portion or even a city within a country (just being able to identify the continent was the extent of accuracy early on - now things are improving as respective company databases grow & knowledge is gained). Percentages may change with updates. Sometimes countries will change with updates - or different testing companies will give you different results, especially on distant/trace ancestry results (as each company uses its own ways to guesstimate & they don't all examine the same snips (SNP's) of your DNA (each of your chromosomes is segmented & each segment carries various snips: essentially coded genetic information - some relevant to ancestral ethnicities; & these companies aren't looking at every relevant thing, but rather just select portions; & due to recombination of segments one might not inherit some ancestral DNA, or one might inherit less of it than expected & more of another, or others in lieu of that).* * = Having yourself, your syblings &/or your direct-line relatives test (&/or their syblings test) is helpful because, if no one was the result of some hidden affair or was adopted or is otherwise a half-relative, then you can pool the results & every one of the ethnicities will be your actual ethnic background (even if you didn't inherit some of these ethnicities in your own DNA).

Dang!! You speak eloquently, but you ain’t that bright!!

Puerto Rico fue una provincia española hasta 1898, hasta que EEUU obligó a cederles la isla en el Tratado de París. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epTFdJxsfJ2biM0

Beautiful

I don't think your friends have a clear idea on what ancestry means. For one thing while it is theoretically possible for fraternal siblings to share zero to almost 100% of their DNA, the extremes are in practice never found. On average fraternal siblings with both parents in common will share about 50% of their DNA (slightly lower or higher depending on whether they are the same gender). It is possible that some major sections of your family tree are not represented - DNA is inherited in sections (chromosomes), and with only 23 chromosomes from each parent and a 50% chance of inheriting a particular chromosome, you rapidly get to a point where you may inherit no DNA from some branches - you have only about 46 ancestors represented in your DNA (occasionally Grandpa and Grandma's DNA can get on the same chromosome passed on by your parent but it isn't supposed to), but in only 6 generations you'll have 64 ancestors - 18 of them may pass on no DNA at all. How to interpret you mixture will depend on your family history. 2% Taino could mean that six generations ago you had at least one pure Taino ancestor, but given Puerto Rican history it's more likely all 64 six generations ago had varying levels of Taino ancestry, so that even if some branches didn't pass some on others would. (And the analysis is complicated by varying levels of "distinct" DNA in different chromosomes - most DNA on most chromosomes is not unique to a specific lineage). True ancestry though is purely a conceit, a pretension. They are all your ancestors, no branch is more real than any other except in your mind.

BRO, don’t be so demending or sarcastic Puerto Ricans are a mixture from Tinos, pronounced it in Spanish Tinos, and all these people that came along the French, the German, the Spaniards the African-Americans were mixed. That’s the true way they said that maybe that Tinos pronounces it right came from some part I don’t know if not Santo Domingo nope Venezuela maybe or something like that I’m not surethat it doesn’t go that deep because people don’t these investigations go that you gotta pay like $2000 or more to find out so be grateful

The same results practically all Puerto Ricans get. Predominately European with a chunk each of Native and African.

You found out you are puertorican we all have those same races but at different percentages

You may obtain more answers to what you are hoping to find, if you do a 23andMe DNA genetic test. Since 23andMe will provide you with your paternal and your maternal haplogroup groups ancestor lineage. Paternal Haplogroups - Haplogroup Inheritance Paternal haplogroups are families of Y chromosomes defined by specific sets of shared genetic variants. If you are male, the Paternal Haplogroup Report provides information about your Y-chromosome haplogroup, which we also call a "paternal haplogroup" because it is passed down from fathers to their sons through the generations. Maternal Haplogroups - MtDNA A maternal haplogroup is a family of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that traces back to a single common ancestor. Your maternal haplogroup assignment is based on your mitochondrial DNA, which you inherited from your mother. The Maternal Haplogroup Report tells you about your maternal-line ancestors, from your mother through her mother and beyond. Both males and females inherit their mitochondrial DNA and, therefore, their haplogroup assignment from their mothers. Haplogroups are defined by specific sets of shared genetic variation. Be sure to check out our “Getting Started with the Haplogroup Reports” for a brief overview of this report and where to find the report within your account.

I am giving my opinion "before" I watch the entire video. You are probably Indigenous American, Spanish (Euro) and Sub-Saharan African (West African). #JustSaying Sure, you're "Nationality" is Puerto Rican.

Dude your true ancestors are West Coast African because you have a Substantial African blood-lines ~ your facial-features and hair is Negroid prominent 😂🎉! You are Afro-Latino😮

You don't have to answer if you don't want to. I took the test and could see that they told me who shared my ancestry. I hadn't written to anyone because it isn't obligatory.

You look like every ethnicity from your summary. You got the best of all three.

The Spanish never trafficked in African slaves. They acquired slaves from the English and other European nations. The Spanish slavery system was more benign that that of other nations. The slaves in the Spanish territories were given the right to buy their freedom of which 75% did. They also had the right to own property and file complaints against their owners if they were mistreated.

Do the ancestry DNA that does the matrilineal DNA and you will find out the question you are asking for

❤

You are truly mixed race and if all of us go back far enough we would all be African. The Tainos originally came from Asia and before that Africa. The Spanish came from Europe and before that Africa. The Africans who are in Africa now are the ones who never left. There is a good documentary. Will look for the title.

What your friends told you is inaccurate, you are 60% of European decent and 10% of Taino decent, so you are most likely descendant of the colonizers, but also some of your(ours) ascendants were also Taino, just much less, remember we have 4 grandpas, 8 great grandpas, 16 great great grandpas and so on. Therefore your dad is also incorrect, you like 95% of Puerto Ricans are descendant mostly from colonizers and not colonized. The same analysis goes with slaves. However your siblings DNA can vary, that is correct, but it wont be too significant and it wont necessarily show in their appearance. I have seen results from brother and sibling where the brother is much more darker and also more European than her sis.

Do your male haplogroup (aka) Y chromosome is your ancient male lineage & your maternal line haplogroup will give you your ancient female lineage.. I hope that helps.

How it went was, spanish came then killed and infected the tainos, they subjugated and raped the rest. The population of taino dwindled so much they imported Africans next. Mostly Spanish men came before La cedula de Gracias. So they "took taino wives, then african women. Dna studies have shown this to be true.

63% European 26% African 11% Native American 🇵🇷 You’re results are so fascinating and represent within the average ranges of many Puerto Ricans. ♥️

You would need to build a family tree in order to get a full history.

Bantu people came from the north .

The moors were black and so where the judeans.

Puerto Rican isn’t a race.

28% Spain? add up the total African DNA. You are mostly African and not European.

If you want the more detailed y-dna test you should do the Y-700 test with Family tree dna. The 23 and me will not give you your more recent haplogroups.

Your at-dna test shows that your ancestors were from all those groups on different branches of your tree. If you want to know your direct male line then you need to do a y-dna test to see if your direct male ancestor is Spanish. African or Taino. if you want to find out your direct maternal line then you need to do a mt-dna test.

I read the Tiano Indians also lived in the Bahamas but got extinct.

Excellent I love your voice.

Puerto Rico was never a Colony of Spain. Puerto Rico was a province with representation in the Spanish Parliament (Cortes). Today it is a Colony of United States.

The region named as Portugal includes Galicia (Spain) . I would consider that percentage as ADN of Spain.

Black African?!! Just plain African will do sir. Africans are not NEGROIDS we are CONGOLOIDS. Some of us of African extraction (I am African-American) understand the negative and inaccurate origins of calling us black, when we are in fact BROWN.

Spaniards mixed since the beginning. In the year 1512, just a couple of decades after the Discovery of the New World about 50% of the Spanish settlers were married by the Catholic Church to natives. The Royal Decree of October 19, 1514, is probably the clearest example of the reality of Spanish interracial policies under the Catholic Church and the legal recognition of rights by the Crown of Spain that gave rise to modern Hispano-America. The Royal Decree of October 19, 1514, ordered by King Fernando the Catholic, King of Aragon and Regent of Castille dictates the following: "It is our entire will that the Indians have, as they should, complete freedom to marry whoever they want, both with Indians and with natives of these Kingdoms (Aragon and Castile), or Spaniards born in the Indies and that in this they are not hindered. And we order that no order of ours that had been given to them or by us, can prevent or be a barrier to the marriage between the Indians men or Indians women with Spanish men or women and that all have complete freedom to marry whoever they want, and our Audiences (Tribunals) ensure that this is how it is kept and complied with" (Law 2, title I, Lib.VI). This explains why you are a result of a mix of Spanish and Native American plus, later, Black Africans brought to Puerto Rico. Note that interracial marriages were forbidden in other countries until recently, more than 400 years after Spain made it legal with full rights for their descendants as any other Spaniard from Spain.

You are all those things, and blood from all of those regions, especially those that are the larger percentages that you shared with us. The low confidence regions may grow or fall off your report as it's updated over time. I had 2 brothers also take the same DNA test that I did, and it's very clear that our DNA is more similar than dissimilar.

I need this lml 🔥💪🏼

If you are interested in the history of yourself you can put you raw dna on my true ancestry, it's for free. I also did this and in totally love the website, with this website you also have ancient matches and you can see if you are royal or not. And you also can see to which ancient population you are related to and much much more.

You would have to check out your DNA matches to trace those footprints. The regions give you an idea and they give you a timeline but matches are your best bet

I believe that 23&Me DNA tests will tell you what Ethnicity your father's father's, father's going back in time, you inherit that Y haplogroup and it never changes, it is passed down from father to son, to grandson ect... It might tell you your Maternal haplogroup also. If a mom, or mom's daughter, or female cousin or niece from your maternal side, you will find out her Haplogroup. Now, AFRICAN ANCESTRY DNA TEST is really expensive. You can test for paternal or and maternal ethnicity and haplogroup. If your Haplogroup is European, you'll find that out. But that's all the info you will get. But if it's African, you'll get your Haplogroup, and Tribe. Most times the maternal side is African because of what happened to them during slavery. I'm pretty sure that your maternal side is African, because the percentages are low, and goes back hundreds of years or more. But your questions will be answered with 23&Me. You'll have your Haplogroup. Look into 23&Me.

You are a mix, like everyone else. Partly descended from the colonisers, partly from the colonised and partly from the enslaved. And that applies to all of your ancestors regardless of their country of origin. That is common to all of us humans.

Wow! 👏 I wish I could do lunges like that!!

Take this from a 68 year old Boricua who's majored in history. Your specific dna are footprints of historical human migrations. Your indigenous a ancestors migrated to the island where they mixed with other Amerindians from Central and South America. Over hundreds of years they developed what today is known as Taino culture. 500 years ago Europeans working for the King and queen of Spain invaded the island a d made it a territory, these men came without families mostly and began to procreate with the surviving Taino women, This created a mestizo population that later began to mix with Sub Saharan Africans who were victims of slavery. We are mostly the great grand children of European men who married, or suduced and even raped Black and Indigenous women. Later in a effort to increase Whiteness on the island, a degree was made by the Spanish crown which gave free land in the 1800s to any European who came from a Catholic country. Thousands of families then came from Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Corsica, Germany, France seeking economic opportunities. As a result the average person in Puerto Rico has a dominance of European dna because Taino and Africans were slowly being absorbed by ever increasing numbers of European immigration to the island well into 1898 when the US invades the island and the island population began to migrate to the US mainland. Whatever you find in your dna is from your direct a ancestors. We are the offspring of the colonized a d the colonizers, we are Taino, mixed with all those groups who came to our home and took over. We have a violent history of erasure and assimilation. Good luck on your journey of self discovery and healing.

I'm sorry for you - and your dad - that your DNA shows, you are "only" 8% Taino. It means you ARE Taino. it tells you, your father was right! - But it also states, you have ancestors from both the colonisators and the enslaved people. Without a family tree (genealogy), you can't know, when/how your ancestors met/married/had children. Where the african ancestors still slaves - or were they freed long ago and had land of their own? Were the spanish ancestors plantation owners, sailors, servants or teachers? Digging into the past - DNA and/or genealogy - can give surprising results. Sometimes things are revealed, you don't like. It changes the narrative of the family in the past, - but it can never change who you are ❤️ I hope, records are intact in Puerto Rico - and you will find the answers, you're searching for 🤗 If you're lucky, someone else in your family tree has done genealogical research, and you can get a head start 👍🏻

your videos help.alot of people

African ancestry test will tell you your tribe They do a paternal test it tells you your father's father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father father 500 years to 2000 I think I was listening to Zion dynasty KZbin video and he brought out information how to upload your DNA test to Jed match for free He will help you just reach out to him

Look up Zion dynasty KZbin video he will give you more information

Probably you are a taino ...them came the africans....and the the spaniards arrive to puerto rico probably (and only) if you came From Galicia and Portugal) along with a new fresh Group of middle african gens
