Good Morning Britain hosts receive their MyHeritage DNA results live on air

Four hosts on the TV morning show Good Morning Britain, took a MyHeritage DNA test. MyHeritage was invited on to the show to reveal the hosts' results, and to discuss their ethnic origins and family histories. The hosts were inspired and surprised by their results. See how they reacted live on air.

[@wodenravens]

@@futurez12 These results are not very accurate. My Heritage in particular is pretty notorious for throwing in false positives. Firstly, My Heritage is not the best for British (and Irish) ancestry; for that you should use LivingDNA as they use the largest sample size of modern British DNA and that makes their results more accurate (down to the county level). Also, these tests are not telling you where your ancestors are from; they are telling you the modern populations with which the DNA markers (alleles) are most commonly associated with. The DNA of English people in the west country is often much closer to Welsh, for example, than to DNA from Norfolk or Lincolnshire. Because My Heritage are not very good at picking up on these differences they seem to assign 'Irish, Scottish and Welsh' to people who are in fact English. Because they are merely looking for 'markers' of ethnicity, it is also very common for levels around 1-4% to be assigned to quite exotic ethnicities when in fact they are nothing of the sort. Many English people will carry genes that are associated with Ashkenazi Jews even though they have no Jewish ancestry. These kinds of tests see that ancestry and immediately assign you to that ethnicity as they regard it as a 'marker' of that ethnicity. In fact, you could just be an Englishman who carries an Askenazi Jew 'marker' within your DNA. It is very possible that the Iberian, Greek and Jewish results on this show are false positives. It is also very possible that they are accurate, but in my experience (I have done many of these tests) they often throw up false positives. They are pretty as a gimmicky bit of fun than serious science.

Bob el Silencioso Yes, there is cultural ethnicity, too. But, of course, DNA testing certainly could not pinpoint that.

My Dna sounds similar to Ben although havent tested but parents from Birmingham and Welsh on my mums side.

[@gorakoss]

Ben probably due to the minute percentage of Greek heritage, had some ancestors that went way back to the Roman empire of middle ages (Byzantine), where English Huscarls were employed as mercenaries (battle of Dyrrachium 1081) and some of them even established their own colony in Crimean peninsula, which was also populated by Greeks. Another possibility is that an ancestor escorted Lionheart's army to the invasion of Cyprus island and returned back home with woman and children. Fascinating, right?

Ancestry DNA is also a good test worth the money

[@user-ic7xe2zl8w]

I am 70 % central asian i.e iran uzbekistan, turkmenistan, and 30 % native indian

[@annak1712]

You must be very good looking

[@zarabiddappa4445]

I got 76%Southern Indian,14%Eastern Indian,6%western Indian rest is Indus Valley

[@LeonMott]

I had been interested in knowing what my ethnicity estimate was for a while. My results came back as: English 40.3% North and West European 35.3% Scandinavian 22.8% and Baltic 1.6% It’s really fascinating and interesting 🙂

[@annetteturner5954]

Here in God bless good ole America are so mixed it's crazy I love my Ancestry DNA test I didn't know any family was form Wales untill the test it's the Williams side.

[@livingreflection5]

Ha! I didn't really think about how boring these would be for people whose families have always been in the same country. Americans tend to get a lot of surprises.

[@anonimouse4678]

Lots of tv people and polititians are multinational

[@kallivino8346]

Giving a private company my DNA, no thanks!

[@charliecroker6445]

Who keeps the data , that's always my worry

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

95% Dutch...what a surprise :)

[@drrd4127]

Can I point out if you actually read the passages for each ethnicities! It is NOT a "English" category! It is actually a British category, it is a mix of Norman French, Viking, Anglo-saxons and ancient Briton's! This category includes Southern Scotland, Wales and England. The actual "English" DNA is under the North and West European which is "Anglo-saxon". It's a American company and they have a tendancy to mix up English with British.

[@Verityization]

He probably had a Greek ancestor who was brought to Great Britain by the Romans about 2000 years ago.

[@skepticalgenious]

I want to know more about these paracas mummies and their DNA

[@deannadohm9035]

I know nothing about my ancestry except that my mom's maternal side is from Canada. On my dad's side I know absolutely nothing about. I was raised by my biological mother but adopted by the man I grew up thinking was my dad. Found out 17 years ago he isn't my biological father. Would love to know where I came from but I can't afford to do a DNA test from My Heritage or Ancestry. I guess I'll never know. 😞

[@kd8199]

100% Northwestern European

[@jimbogey1448]

I was surprised to find out I'm not English at all! Welch and Austrian and Jewish

[@DendyJungle]

Jim Bogey austrians and English people are very similar ethnicities

[@michaeldukes4108]

Jim Bogey ... *Welsh, not Welch.

[@solatiumz]

@Alpha - no such thing as Europe and Romans, the land was empty and people came in from africa......

[@VCYT]

you were downgraded.

[@kikilu79]

solatiumz Jesus the hate for English people is really strong on this thread. Wtf?

[@morningstar4789]

I got 99% Irish and 1% Greek. I was surprised To have so much Irish.

[@Hiforest]

John Toal - mine was high to start but it’s updated since the technology has become a little more interesting.

[@morningstar4789]

missymouseuk1 Do u reckon mine could be false? I don’t think I have 99%

[@DirectorHMAN]

Holy moly that's very irish

[@Hiforest]

John Toal - it’s not false, it’s correct at the time it was done (like mine was). The technology is still pretty new so it’ll get better over time and more detailed in its result.

[@sueh.8757]

Actually did 3 tests and got different results. Always thought I was mainly German and Norwegian, but had less Scandinavian and German and more English and Irish and more Eastern Europe, and one test showed 6.5% Sardinian and 2.8% Italian! Who knew?

[@solatiumz]

@Scott - I thought that also, but I had someone else look at my brother's results when 3% French/German came up and they confirmed definitely French.

[@lindapearson3411]

My DNA says I only have 2% Irish, but my one set of great grandparents came from Ireland. Their name was Mc Cormack. I am thinking the lower percent does mean something!

[@iamwhoiam8486]

Is entirely possible that over time your family had moved into Germany and Norway and from there to wherever you live now.

[@martinabest5801]

So far have done 2 different DNA tests. both quite different results. One showed 55% German and only 2% Scandinavian along with a bunch of other European ethnicities ; My Heritage shows 47.3% Scandinavian and 39.4% North and West European (I'm assuming it means German) + a bunch of other European ethnicities. It must depend on the algorithms each company uses along with the number of people doing the tests and where they are from.

[@21_f_aus]

With different company's you test with the results will differ from one another... It's based on the algorithm and how they do the tests... like I could be 50% English with Ancestry and 45% English with 23andme and 65% English with my heritage... I done a test with Ancestry haven't got results back yet...

[@vacaspen5038]

Does it matter for two reasons. You are who your mother is. M a t h e r cause to be the agent mother the route the origin. The main cell cell dividing a canoe being pick your patter is really a donor of alternating DNA. Still more importantly. You're adopted you had someone care for and nurture your body into the best shape it can be. You had someone who raised you and helped hone in your skills. Someone who taught you and shared his wisdom with you. Your dad is more important than your donor

[@personalcheeses8073]

Vac Aspen If it didn’t matter no one would do DNA tests
