David Hopes His Ancestry Reveals Italian Roots | My Family Secrets Revealed | Ancestry

[@ryb3198]

What was his other percentage??

[@oregontrisha365]

I was adopted as an infant and didn't find out until I was 25 that my bio father was Italian. Fast forward to DNA and turns out he was part Native American and part Spanish. I tell people, "I used to be Italian."

[@kjw79]

but...was she descended from Italians? Also, Ancestry teaches us that not all DNA is passed down from all our ancestors. So while David isn’t Italian, it’s not really proof that she wasn’t. This is because only half of each parent’s DNA continues on. I’m sure they researched her more On the full episode though.

[@001islandprincess]

Kendra Werner The man in the video should study his genetic cousin matches and see if he has any cousin matches who are Italian and use chromosome painting to see if there is any mediterranean” DNA markers. Ancestry DNA especially with their recent algorithms has not been good in detecting “Italian” and other ancestry including “Iberian”. People of Italian ancestry have recently stated that the update by Ancestry DNA provided no estimates of Italian DNA.

Fk that you are ALL THE THINGS THAT MAKE UP YOUR BLOODLINES AND FAMILY TREE EVEN IF U DIDNT QUITE GET THAT PIECE ITS STILL IN U

Exactly, my sister and I both took the test and mine showed 13.7% sub Saharan African her showed zero. Hers also showed nearly 10% Irish mine showed zero. We have the same parents and we look alike except she is fair complexion with blonde hair and I am darker with brown hair. 🤷‍♂️ dna is a weird thing as well

[@thefallguygamer4063]

@@michelealbanese3261 Just because you inherit 50% of each parent's DNA, which 50% siblings get can be different.

[@shaynanichelle8621]

It was one guy who did a test and he thought he was Italian as well and turns out him and his mom only had a small bit of it. They were mostly something else. That’s crazy how you’ve been told all your life that you’re one thing and then find out you’re something else.

[@ljcl1859]

What was the other 25%? I'm really curious now.

[@vitocorleone1462]

There was a guy in YT who was a quarter north Italian and ancestry Dna didn't sow any Italian for him. But showed his mom that she was Italian when she took a test. Ancestry DNA is flawed

[@emoja30]

Its definately individualized. You might have gotten a complete different amount of DNA or percentage of DNA as your full sibling. That's the magic in the blueprint of life

[@Tysto]

A. Take another test, maybe a different company. B. If the mother was half Italian, she could have given him the other other half, her non-Italian genes, at least the ones that are tested for. C. He could have been secretly adopted.

[@CrawfordGrimaldi]

Is anyone else here related to the Grimaldi family who ruled Monaco and Genao Italy 200 years ago?

What is David’s total DNA ethnicities composition?!?!? PS I’m 1% Norwegian since the Vikings raided around Europe. 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

I thought the same!

[@ted.angell7609]

Hey, if you learn the language and get into the culture Italians are pretty inclusive. No need to be Italian to be an honorary Italian.

[@whychromosomesmusic5766]

I do have Italian ancestry and even my mother (whose paternal grandparents were born in Italy) does not show any "Italian" ancestry in her Ancestry DNA test results and I don't either. I am not that concerned with the DNA ethnic origins. But, I DO have a kind of frustrating brick wall in our Italian ancestry and it has to do with her actual paternal surname. And I really do think it all started in the City of Torino in 1825 and the birth of Valeriano Guglielmino in April 18 of that year born in the Maternity Hospital. But then there is a large gap of records for him (that I have found so far) until two marriages in 1844 (only church parish) and 1868 and with that marriage under the civil system there is an "Allegati" (Attachment). But his name as an adult in Prascorsano was Guglielmo Valeriano. And in that "Allegati" is the information that he was born on April 18 and in the Maternity Hospital in the City of Torino and was shortly after an Abandoned Infant and given a specific number and it also lists some of the families he was placed with as a child. However it states that he was born in 1821. Years and ages stated in records for Italian research are often not correct. But it is somewhat frustrating that I feel they are the same person and he just switched his first and last names. And that Valeriano Guglielmino, born 18 April 1825 in the Maternity Hospital in the City of Torino, Italy, son of Gaspare Guglielmino and Maria Teresa Silvano is the same as my great great grandfather known in Prascorsano as Guglielmo Valeriano and later known in Illinois as William Valerio. But I don't have the exact documented proof that they are definitely the same person just some items that indicate the probability that they are. Hence my frustration. Last time I checked the State Archives in the City of Torino were closed. I'm learning Italian and trying to get better. So, maybe one day (if I can't find the needed documentation myself online at Family Search) I may write a letter to them in Italian and see if they have anything more concrete to prove my theory or disprove it if they have that.
