I found my sister on ANCESTRY which led to me finding my mother and a brother. I’ve looked for over 45 years for anything on my real family. Also my sister was lied to about who her real father was. Also, a friend of mine, found out that her dad wasn’t really her dad, she discovered three brothers. DNA doesn’t lie. Now some cold cases are being reopened and criminals are being caught with DNA left behind. Innocent people are being let out of jail. Thank God for DNA!!

[@dylanradov8586]

@Laura Z. that’s kind of messed up. You’re against adopting someone who needs a family because they don’t think like “I don’t want to hurt my parents feelings so I’m not gonna try to learn about my bloodline”

[@KV-on3ht]

@Lee B. Then, the decision (for you) not to adopt is one of THE wisest decisions for incredibly selfish people like you, to make. And who's to say that someone in your lineage wasn't adopted.. certainly not you, if so, you wouldn't be trying to learn more about ancestral DNA on KZbin and then commenting about it.

Something to add is that if you keep your DNA on the 23andMe Database they will send you emails for whatever new feature they add. For example, when I took the test the neanderthal thing wasn't a feature yet and then when it became one they sent me my results for that. So you get a lot more bang for your buck on 23andme

Rarely does one see such an intelligent totally unbiased comparison.

[@terryboehlert3770]

How so Erika? I got my results today and they are very vague about exact areas. My grandmother and her family came here from Portugal, according to the results, no mention of Portugal in my report. Big deal I am 98% European. The results they sent me were not specific at all. This is from Ancestry. Certainly not the results they show on their TV ads. So I am 55% Great Britain, 20% Ireland, 12% Greek/Italian. What about the other 13%. Certainly would not recommend paying for this test. Guessing most "white" Americans are of European mix.

[@erikarocksthenation1]

Terry Boehlert I'm telling what she meant in the video.

Excellent videos/comparisons! Well done! I had already done mine through 23 and Me -before the recent legal issues, so I had literally hundreds of pages of information sent to me. It's worth noting that the FDA required them to cut back on the information they provided as it hadn't been fully "proven" -but since then they have added nearly everything back after having met the standards of proof required. It's also worth noting that they continue to update and refine their results. When I visit the site today I get more details than I originally got a few years ago. I will add one thing -My DNA test showed a very high propensity for colon cancer. At 49, my first colonoscopy was at least a year away -but my doctor used the DNA results to get my insurance company to agree to doing the test early. The result was the removal of 9 cancerous polyps, very likely saving my life. If I had waited until 54-55 that would have been advanced colon cancer. Clean bill of health now. It just goes to show how important this genetic information can be. No one in my family had ever been diagnosed with colon cancer, so I might easily have put off the screening... Knowing your DNA is powerful!

[@AlisonRyce]

Sheepdog Sherlock Hi! 23andMe kept rare diseases in their health database like Usher's Syndrome, but removed vital ones like cancer. No, that information isn't available through Ancestry DNA. Ancestry specializes in genealogy while 23andMe specializes in genetics.

[@sheepdogsherlock1311]

I ordered two kits for my wife and myself. It sucks they seem to have removed more common health issues, but at least have other things. But it would be nice to see perhaps what cancers we'd be more prone too, oh well, better than nothing I suppose.

[@Blueheart1900]

I really liked your video. It was informative and straight to the point, unlike so many that I've seen where people just rattle on to hear themselves talk. Now - I took the Ancestry DNA test to find out how much Native American I had in my DNA from my fathers side. To my surprise I found out that the man that raised me, who I called dad all my life, was not my biological father. Both my parents are deceased so I had my siblings tested and it was confirmed that I am half siblings with all of them and they are full siblings with each other. We share the same relatives that I know are from my mothers side but they don't share other relatives with me. The most major surprise is that I found out that I am biracial. I have European second cousins that my siblings don't have. I decided to also take the 23andme DNA test to see if perhaps I can find another half sibling on my biological fathers side and maybe find out who he was. I'm not sure if he is still alive as I am in my 50's. I am still coming to terms with the fact that my life has pretty much been a lie and I'm a bastard. Maybe I'll change my last name to Snow!

[@AlisonRyce]

WOW!!! What a discovery! I remember after taking the test, there was a disclaimer saying that there may be some things in my results that may upset me or my family members. I hope your 23andMe results give you clarity in your family search. Thanks for sharing your story!

[@epxclusive]

Thanks for replying. I just got my 23 and me results back and it only further confirmed that I am 54% European, 45% African, 1% Asian. Sadly I had no matches closer than a third cousin. I'm going to try reaching out to the second cousins on Ancestry and hope that they will be receptive. I don't want anything other than to know who my real biological father was or is (if he is somehow still alive). I didn't pay much attention to the disclaimer since I had no reason to believe anything other than what I thought was real. Now I'm a little frustrated but glad to know the truth. Peace and Light

My 23andMe results showed that I was 99.9% European. Talk about white bread! Here's the cool thing though - the 0.1% non-European part was made up of a 100% West African ancestor and a 100% Japanese ancestor who were alive around 1710-1800. Amazing that someone so "white" could have full African and Japanese ancestors such a relatively short time ago. I really appreciated seeing that connection and realizing I wouldn't be here without them. It made me think that anyone charged with racial crimes should be forced to take a DNA test - it would so quickly destroy their ideology!

[@AlisonRyce]

😂 Oh man, you're so right about that. That reminds me of a Klansman that found out on television that he had African ancestors through DNA testing. He had absolutely nothing to say after that. We are all definitely family so I don't understand how anyone can hate someone else based on another's ethnicity. If any of our ancestors were taken from our family tree, we wouldn't be here so they were all important. Thanks for sharing your results! 🙂

[@yudahel8521]

Lol, girl native American isn't a race of people

[@ashleygarton3186]

It is a race. American Indian is a race. When you have to fill out paperwork and see boxes to check for race...read a little. It says American Indian. That is what Native American means, not "born in America." I have a tribal card that shows I am Native American. Native as in tribe. American as in US.

[@ashleygarton3186]

Yudah El maybe you should check your facts. My race is not made up. When the Europeans came, they named us Indians because they thought they were in India. At the time, were few African Americans in the country since the majority were brought over by the Europeans. The indigenous people are the Native Americans. My race, which is not made up. I have a tribal car with treaties I'm protected under written in Queen's English...one being the treaty of 1677. "The ancestors of modern Native Americans arrived in what is now the United States at least 15,000 years ago, possibly much earlier." So tell me again how African Americans were here first and my race is made up?

[@yudahel8521]

Ashley Garton I'm sorry u misunderstood, I told you that Indian means Black right, you said the Europeans called my ancestors Indian in 1492 because they thought they were in India right??? U do know that India wasn't founded/called India until 1946 right? So how could they call us a country that wasn't even named or called by the term??? So let's break down the term Indian. Indian comes from the Sanskirt word sindhu, which was later translated to Hindu, then translated to Indus now there's India/Indian. I know it's not easy to accept but its the truth. Have you ever heard of eugenics, selective breeding and/or assimilations? Well ever person we call native American ancestors went thru it all. The Caucasoid dna in them all is paternal, which means it was white men who impregnated Mongoloid women who we now call na, not the Mongoloid man sleeping with white women. 15,000 years? Lol, u do know there's thousands of scientists and archeologists who says it's impossible that y'all came across the beeriimg strait but in fact had to be brought here. Native American is not a natural race , there's no such thing as a full blood person we call native American.

[@Oceanleighside]

I realize this is an older video, but since I have used both companies I thought I'd share my opinions. I did the AncestryDNA kit first and I their site for family tree building! Before there most recent update, it had me at 86% English, 9% Irish, 3% Iberian and 2% northwestern Europe. After the update, it's now 80% English and 20% Irish. I feel this is a little too.....unmixed? Too concentrated, maybe? I'm not sure there's a word for my thoughts on this. I get that genetics are random and you inherit different amounts from both of your parents. But I have Swedish ancestors not so far back and French farther back. Not reported even .1%. This is the reason I took 23AndMe's test. MUCH more of a breakdown into different countries and regions. There is some percentage of Southern Europe reported, which looking at photos of two of my more recent ancestors makes a little bit of since with their dark hair, eyes and more prominent noses. Also .7% Nigerian (I do have a lot of family from the south but no history of slave ownership thankfully) and .1% Korean with their latest update was reported. I truly have no knowledge of anyone in my family with these ethnicities but as they are such a small percentage, I didn't inherit much from them and they could be just so far back in the tree for accurate records and possibly ancestor had an affair. All in all, I preferred 23AndMe as it broke things down much better.

[@AlisonRyce]

Cool! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the two!!!! The change AncestryDNA gave was a little nerve-wracking because it seemed like the world shifted and all my results were mixed up. I enjoyed your detailed breakdown of your 23andMe results; that's super cool. Thanks for taking your time to do that!

[@radikaul]

DNA doesn’t lie. Ever put together you might not be French or Swedish if it didn’t show up in any of your DNA? Also how else would .7% Nigerian be in your white DNA?

Two big thumbs up! Thanks for sharing. I purchased my kit a few days ago & keep saying “do it tomorrow...” but I’m still delaying. A part in the back of my mind says take it back because I’m just naturally a skeptical person. I wanted to try Ancestry because it’s the first one I’ve ever heard of & that’s in addition to the tree builder, but I ultimately went with 23&Me simply because this was the kit sold at my place of employment so I received a 15% discount, but I still plan of doing the other just to see some of the other differences as you have.

As I mentioned in another post, I did the Ancestry DNA. I already found some cousins and some whom I went to school with, and even graduated with!! Also one of my 1st cousin (once removed) contacted me because of her DNA test and her Father and my Grandmother were siblings. I did not know this and we are both very excited and cannot wait to meet. She knows my grandmother, biological father and my aunts very well. I never met my father until I searched for him (for years since I was 12), found him and then for my birthday, one of my brothers decided to go to Texas and bring him back to live with him. I was 40 years old. I will now be doing the 123&me thanks to my other brother (his twin). He is curious to see the difference...or match...to my other DNA test...Plus the extras you get with 123&Me.
