@@JoWithTheFro1 Your grandma is adorable and you sound cute when speaking haitian creole.One correction from the video;Basque isn't a country but a region in both spain and France.However the people on both sides are of the same ethnicity and speak the same language.There is a basque independence movement in spain though.Also it's DOPE that your grandma has native blood in her coming from the taino people.

[@lelandunruh7896]

A friend of mine who's parents are originally from Haiti took one of these tests. He was surprised by a really high Polish result. Turns out his parents had never mentioned that they both had ancestors who were Polish soldiers who were recognized as officially black by the Haitian government! History is wild.

[@aaronsilas3681]

We're they dark... 😮I'm curious how that is

[@IowaKim]

Genealogist here. A good way to think of the percentages is to think back to eight times great grandparents. You have 1024 of those grandparents. For each percentage you have on your DNA test roughly one of those 8 times great grandparent is 100% of that group. So 45% Cameroon means that 45 of your eight times great grandparents are from that area. Your grandmother is precious. I am so glad you got her DNA test because the higher up in your tree you can get DNA the better results and also matches. Good luck on your DNA journey

There's native Tainos on the Hispaniola island and that's where she most likely got her native side. Venezuela has its own indigenous tribes and it also has a history with slavery, so the Venezuelan side could very well be African or European.

Taino are actually a First Nations Tribe like other Native Americans and Canadians. Native People lived from Alaska and the Territories to the bottom of Chile in South America. Funny Columbus didn't set foot in America before he used the term "Indian" (though its wrong now) to refer to the original inhabitants. Columbus met the Taino first. (Taíno Indians, a subgroup of the Arawakan Indians (a group of American Indians in northeastern South America), inhabited the Greater Antilles (comprising Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola [Haiti and the Dominican Republic], and Puerto Rico) in the Caribbean Sea at the time when Christopher Columbus' arrived to the New World.

Your grandma is adorable and her DNA make up is interesting, especially with that 1% Filipino. My guess is that Filipino ancestor of hers might have been a Filipino who worked in one of the Spanish galleons, as the route involved the Philippines, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Spain. Greetings from Manila, Philippines, by the way!

[@HueyPPLong]

It could also be Spanish dna in Philippines that the dna company has mistakenly put in their system as Filipino. Because they’re still getting more and more accurate by the week as they get more and more samples. If you keep going back and checking your results on their websites you’ll see it get updated. My percentages have changed wildly since I first took the test in 2015.

@@HueyPPLong nah it would have popped up as Spanish. Spanish DNA is rare in most Filipinos and when they have a mix of it it’s typically very low. Filipinos believe they have Spanish in them because their unique features to most other Asians but it’s not the case at all. My girlfriend believed she had Spanish ancestry like I deadass though she was just an indigenous looking Latina when I first saw her and the last name being Spanish threw me off as well but she’s all Asian 97% Filipino and 2% Thai and 1% Chinese. Iv looked up other Filipino dna test and it’s not as common as you might think. I haven’t seen a Filipino test with over 15% spain. Most Iv seen was like 10 and it was the only one Iv seen. Filipino were in the Caribbean because the Spanish made them be part of the voyage.

The reason for the connections with Dominican families is the African blood that connects Haiti to the DR. The same tribes were brought to both the Haitian and Spanish sides of the island. The connective tissue is Africa. Also light skin and fine hair is found in many West African people. The Fulani of Nigeria and different people all over West Africa have these traits. My friend is from Ghana and she looks Ethiopian with curly straight hair and lighter skin. She did her DNA and she was 100% African.

la mulata linda Martinez Im so glad you said this because so many people think you have to be mixed to be light skinned or have a looser curl pattern.

As a Jamaican 10:27 may be a reason why I found some Hatian cousins myself. The Native American that showed up in both your grandma and you could be the Tainos who inhabited the Caribbean before the Europeans came. It showed up in some of my cousins matches and it was a great source of amazement for them. The Basque people are actually related to the Armenians linguistically and genetically in that about 1000 of their words are similar as this link shows kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHy7n61vjrKUb6M.

[@deadpoetoftheyear]

All these videos really prove that color is just skin deep. What we call black and white is just our visual perception. I watched tons of these, and there were "white" people that came from Asia to like 30 % and amazingly a quite light skinned straight hair person that was mostly African, and a quite dark one with curly hair that was 70 % European. So what we think is someone's "race" might just be a small part. I like that we can know what we come from, it is interesting, but I hope people learn that you can just look at someone and assume. I understand that there can be a lot of identity in a "color", but in reality I wonder why. I barely identify as human... but also some of those tests tell you how much of you that isn't, lol my friend was mad he was just 2,5 % neanderthal. ;)

[@001islandprincess]

deadpoetoftheyear Actually so called “white” and “black” are just socio-political terms which came into existence at the moment of imperial conquest, as stated by Fanon, an Afro-Caribbean psychiatrist. Neither exists without the other. If we want to get to the root, these terms are statuses. The term Black was imposed on enslaved Africans of diverse ethnic backgrounds and reduced to property...There were no black or white people over 500 years ago. No one was walking the earth referring to themselves as a colour.

some of my ancestors may have mixed in with yours when the Pilgrims rounded up a couple of tribes of peaceful Native folks that they had converted to Christianity and sold them to slavers who brought them down to the Carib Islands. Interestingly my family from my Indian side never had any use for Christianity. Between the Pilgrims (the grandkids of the elders at the first Thanksgiving) and then the Catholics who took their kids to bordering schools when the Native folks went north, they had good reasons for their disdain. We knew this stuff though before testing since my gram kept the oral family history. She also shared some juicy gossip about the Scottish ancestors (her dad was Blackhawk Dunphy, Stubborn Scot Indian is what she said, we just called him grampy Blackie) and when I did an Internet search on what she told me back in the 1960's she was completely right! Your grandmother is lovely. Our elders are treasures.

I always love seeing how Ancestry shows the immigration of the DNA. I started building my tree from potential ancestors while waiting for my results and when it completed, it showed that my DNA is from Pennsylvania and Midwest settlers from Europe which matched the potentials I had found prior. Showing it to my only surviving grandparent(maternal grandma) she thought it was really cool. Her my mom's branches haven't really left PA since they settled there in the early Colonial days, even having ties to the Mayflower and Plymouth plantations. My fathers side is where the Midwest settlers come in. I just bought my grandma a test to see what hers comes up with. Especially because I've hit a brick wall at my 5th maternal great grandparents. Every other branch I've been able to go back as far as the 1300s and farther but that branch I can't get farther than early 1800s Transylvania. Happy Ancestry hunting^-^

[@001islandprincess]

jeand4186 African Ancestry only offers mtDNA results, the unbroken maternal line, which accounts for less than 5% of a person’s total genome. AncestryDNA only offers autosomal testing, which provides estimates of a person’s ancestral make-up from both parents. These tests are NOT comparable.

@DJ Good morning! I know this thread is old but I’m trying to determine if there are any Haitian roots in my ancestry. I did African Ancestry by the way but it just breaks down the African origins and location. So right now I am trying to find a possible connection with that but my grandparents are now all deceased so it’s hard to get info about lineage.

Your grandmother looks like one of my great aunts! I'm gonna do this test soon cause I wanna learn more about my heritage, my dad's side is from Jamaica and England and my mom's side is mostly India & Trinidad.

The Philippines DNA can come from two places. 1. Manilamen who travelled with the Spanish flag to Louisiana and elsewhere and would jump ship 2. Malagasy enslaved roots.

Thanks for that bit of info! My people come from Jamaica and when I recently did my ancestryDNA test, I saw the Phillipines listed and I was scratching my head, lol.

@@rachybaby72 most often in Malagasy slave ancestry, Jamaicans have recorded Malagasy folks among the Maroons and around plantations.

Thanks for elaborating on the great migration. Georgraphically, we studied this in West Africa, in our high school curriculums. Especially with emphysis on the West African Empires, the trans Sahara and Atlantic slave trades and the presence/ or coming of the first Portuguese/Spanish explorers via the Iberian peninsula on the Gold/ Pepper ( Cabos Verde ); Grain/ Green coast. Present day west Africa and all of the Niger-Congo regions.(@ The Atlantic Ocean).
