Professional Genealogist Reacts - Who Am I? 'The Real' DNA Results - The Real Daytime

[@angelandi5140]

Tamera's dad is fully white. Her mum is African American. African Americans already have a percentage of European in them. So an African American mixing with a full blooded European...on average the kid will have a higher percentage of European because the kid has European on both sides. It may be different if the black parent was fully African. Then it will probably be 50-50 or something.

[@GeneaVlogger]

Interesting! Will have to add it to my list of reactions!

[@donnaroberts281]

I’m digging these videos. So one thing that makes me wonder about admixture and reference populations - the woman who got the Pacific Islander, does it mean that she has an ancestor from the Pacific Islands, or could it mean that whatever group she is from had a lot of migration to the Islands? Since there isn’t a Pacific Islander reference population from 400 years ago, and the current population is likely mixed (though maybe a bit less on islands, probably more endogamy or pedigree collapse) how likely is it that the reference population is “tainted”? And does matching a reference population necessarily mean that your ancestor was from that area, or could it mean that many of your ancestor’s family members went there, carrying those specific genes?

[@GeneaVlogger]

It could mean she has recent ancestry from the Pacific Islands or it could mean she descends from another population which itself descends from Pacific Islanders. Just a matter of doing the genealogy to figure it out. It is also possible for reference populations to be 'tainted', so to speak, but that is why the companies are continually doing more work to better their ethnicity admixtures.

Yes, the answer to the "Asian" girl will depend also on her family history, does she have the Chinese (or family) surname Character, pictures of gravestones (At least in Chinese culture, headstones will tell you the name of the town they were born, and one or more of the names they received through their live... My grandfather had four names he was known as. [legally]... Chinese (and I bet other Asian cultures) are very very complicated to follow, but sooooo fulfilling... Recently [before COVID19] my aunt went back to our ancestral town, and they performed a welcome back ceremony, she was able to visit one of the ancestral temples and "represent" our branch of the family there...

From what I've read in my research, Polynesian come from Philippines, PNG, Indonesia area. Also, Asian would go to the US during the Gold Rush by boat, Polynesian Islands are just on their path. Polynesians are known for being travelers. They went from one island to another. We found traces of Polynesian tools in Chile, Tools that were specific of Tahiti and that was way before America was "discovered". This discovery indicated that there were exchanges between those people. I suppose that there might also have been exchanges with Asia.

Nice video. As you said Latin Americans are a mixture of ethnicities. What has surprised me is that often I see a small percentage of Ashkenazi Jewish in Latin Americans, and that is the case of my family. I had strong suspicions that my siblings and I had some Jewish DNA but I was 100% sure it was Sephardic Jewish. Both of my parents have Spanish parents or grandparents and well… I assumed Sephardic Jewish. I studied Social Anthropology and PreColumbian Art, I have also done some research on Amazigh and Berber groups in Tunisia because we knew my mother’s family had some Tunisian/Lebanese background but I’m very surprised that non of that showed up in the several DNA tests done by a few family members and it seems that my family has Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry through both, my mother and father. Both of my parents were Mexican but not related in any way. Wouldn’t it make more sense for LatinAmericans to have Sephardic Jewish instead of Ashkenazi Jewish because of Spain, Portugal and the proximity with Morocco too.

[@marggiepv]

That’s a fair point! East Europe makes no sense unless it’s showing more recent ancestry that fled Europe during WWII. A lot of Jewish people from Europe fled to Latin America

I wouldn't say Ancestry, unless they shortened names. For example, Irish isn't just called Irish on Ancestry, it's Ireland & Scotland. Or English is England & Northwest Europe.

[@empressliving5308]

People from the iberian peninsula were indenture servants and intermarried with the black populations. Many Irish (and Scots) were also taken to the Caribbean as indenture servants and intermarried with locals. The presence of Irish dna does not mean it was a master-slave relationship. The Caribbean has a more complex history. Additionally, all blacks from the Caribbean were not slaves. There were many mountainous areas where many escape to as soon as the boats landed. Slave holders were even afraid to enter those areas and they were to enter into treaties with persons from those areas. It is so sad that many blacks do not know this history and they believe what they were told.

[@MariaRodriguez-hb4ix]

Exactly . For example , there was a well known area at Loiza , Puerto Rico . Where those escapee and liberto slaves lived . Now , this is one of the regions with the highest of people with African DNA percentage .

I've lived only believing i was "white" with some native American roots all my life but seems to be im made up of 54% Caucasian/European and 46% everything else. I knew I'd have native american but never dreamed that much and the Asian kinda makes sense as well because ive been fairly racially ambiguous all my life and had folks always asking if I was Asian, latina, Italian, native American, and even Samoan (basically any medium tan race with dark brown almond shaped eyes and dark hair) so it shouldn't have been that big of a surprise I guess lol but the papuan totally threw me for a loop.

...It's more like the rest of the world got around to Central and South America, lots and lots of European colonization, primarily Spanish and Portuguese (Iberian).

I have done extensive research at least 300 years back and haven't found any Italians. I did the ancestry dna test and my percentages keep changing.

[@michaeltaylor8501]

As more folk take Ancestry's test, Ancestry's data-base grows & they can then learn more & perhaps make more accurate ethnic 'guestimations.' As for Italian: you might have an Italian ancestor, or else (being such a small percentage) it could merely be a false positive. Romans (Italians) made it to England & parked there for many years; so, it's quite possible to have a relative get to-or-from Scotland &/or Ireland to-or-from Romans in England. There are other possible ways, but this one stands out as one very likely way. Another way might have been via Spain/Portugal - which, BTW is called Iberian: perhaps for good reason [note that Irish are called Iberian & were speculated to have migrated via the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal, Spain) - & Romans (Italians) had a presence in Spain, circa Julius Ceasars' time & beyond (perhaps dislocating some early settlers of Spain/Portugal)]. After the Roman occupation of Spain & the Iberian migration via Portugal/Spain came others into Spain from Africa & the Middle East (such as the Moors) as well as some other Mediterranean types. There are many ways to get mixed heritage; & you may have more actual heritage than what your DNA shows because one's DNA only reflects a portion of total heritage (a full sybling's DNA may show up differently than yours, but you would both share all the same total heritage, just not the same DNA). Hope this helps.

Eh yes and no, a lot of the “technology” we have now wasn’t invented until the 1800s by both white and black people, and other races. Also, Europeans (specifically the ancient Greeks) got plenty of their “advanced” technology and science from ancient Africa mainly Egypt. China was also an advanced civilization in ancient days. So to say “lesser countries” referring to non-white countries when Europe had many communities who weren’t as advanced as other European cities is not fully correct. What Europe colonizers did do though was erase cultural customs from the western world and create an economic hierarchy that they had advantage of so it was all more strategic than advancement. Remember, colonization started with the monarchy. Not regular everyday civilians, so the English and Spanish locals were also being ruled by the royals. All their money going to taxes. The same people your ancestors fought for independence. After that it was just pure racism that made other races and cultures “lesser.”
