Mexicans are a Melting Pot: My AncestryDNA Story

European Jewish is sephardic jewish ancestry from spain in this case. You have to interpret the results according to Mexicos history. Sephardis and Ashkenazis still share tons of dna with eachother and if you are from mexico and have spanish ancestry, which all mexicans do, then these Jewish percentages are almost always sephardi. Many sephardis left and went to Mexico and the new world and assimilated with the people. Also the british and other european percentages are also spanish. Spaniards who take the test will not be 100% spanish on ancestry. They also will have lots of percentages of Irish or English or Italiant etc. Spain is very related to the rest of western europe.

I'm a black Texan and I've found many Mexican relatives that share a migration pattern from Mexican Texas to Modern day Mexico that I didn't expect. Come to find out, one of my 3rd great grandparents had children with a native American upon arrival to Texas. During the Mexican Texas war some of their children fled into modern Mexico while some stayed and inherited a slave status. We share native American, African and European ancestry from that time. I was able to isolate that lineage by grouping my DNA relatives and uncovered history I would have never known. Some of them stayed in southern Texas and were listed as "octoroon" on the Census and eventually passed as white while the ones that stayed in my area were listed as mulatto and eventually negro/black. I have African, European, and Native ancestry. Ironically, a Hispanic girl I once dated ended up being my 4th cousin on my Ancestry DNA.matches. When she asked her grandmother about it, she cried and brought out a picture of her grandmother that obviously had African ancestry. She said they kept it a secret so that they wouldn't be listed as colored and be segregated.

[@SAMOTUBER]

We are an interesting mix of people. I'm older (over 60) and knew we obviously were Native American and Spanish on my Mexican side. My other side is Scotch-Irish. I did the DNA tests about 15 years ago starting with family tree and had indications that we had some African heritage that was notable. When I first told people back then, they looked at me kind of confused and they thought I was making things up even though we don't have much other than ancedotes from my Mexican side. When I research and do my Scots-Irish side, the records are there and it seem I can go back to the 1500's if I want to. Church records, census records, ship records, all have the names and relationships. With both the records and DNA, there is no variation at all. They are all white and its very uniform...not so much with my Mexican side. On the Mexican side records are harder to come by and read and they don't go back beyond the 1800's. After that, things are a mystery so I had to rely on the DNA results to get any idea and I got that I'm about 28% Native American 15% Southern European and about 4% African (which we were never really told about). So I have a baseline to compare it with because when I told my relatives we had African heritage, the most common response was, "Well everyone goes back to Africa eventually"...without realizing that DNA tests don't go back to the millenia. These tests only go back 400-500 years and aren't charting ancient history to dinosaur ages. Doing my own research, I learned that the Spaniards had to import so many slaves, at one point they were outnumbered. As time went on, people intermingled moreso than was the case in the US. The Spaniards had a different relationship with native americans and with their slaves that the British did and it created a different framework in their society. It still facinates me because so many of us today have this history to review and reasses...especially if we were raised and taught here over a few generations. Mexican history isn't taught in the US even though Mexicans are the dominant Hispanic/Latino group in the US. Given the current political issues, its unlikely that will change, but what doesn't change is our actual history, which is in our OWN hands to discover and uncover. I'm glad to see young people doing this and learning more about themselves and our history. No one can take this away or devalue the truth and scientific facts. We are a wide range of people and have a lot to be proud of.

That is actually incorrect. Most slaves in New Spain (what is now Mexico) were from Africa. Some indigenous people were enslaved soon after the conquest, but in 1639 the Pope made it illegal for the Spanish crown to enslave indigenous people in the Americas, while it remained legal to have african slaves. After the indigenous population was decimated by disease in the 16th century the spaniards imported africans as slaves, and it is estimated that tens of thousands had already arrived in the late 16th century. In fact the african slave trade was invented by the spanish and the portuguese to provide a work force for their colonies in the caribbean and in the Americas.

9:47 you've been grouping northern african in with other african countries but in terms of ancestry.... northern africa is a primary genetic mixture of arabic, berber, italian, spanish and I believe there is still some german influence via the visigoths. Keep in mind as well that spain/portugal at the time of the conquistadors had admixture of berbers/arabic peoples due to the muslim conquests etc. I think you should be including north african with spain/portugal if you want to group things together but its your dna so view it as you wish. very fascinating btw..... now I want to do mine which I suspect is pretty broad and varied.

Native North African countries are separate ethnic groups and they have brown skin. Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Europe are separate ethnic groups. Although Northern African people today are a mix of Native North Africans, Arab, Sub-saharan Africa and Southern European it just depends on which North African country you come from because percentages vary. If your from Morocco you'll have more Berber and if your from Egypt you'll have more Arab. It also depends on you individually, not everyone's lineage is the same for example some North Africans have high Sub-Saharan African or some have high Middle Eastern it just depends on the countries history or your personal family history

[@funnysungames546]

north african component its a separate ethnic component .When they show north african means specific indegenous north african component.

[@funnysungames546]

“The indigenous North African ancestry may have been more common in Berber populations and appears most closely related to populations outside of Africa, but divergence between Maghrebi peoples and Near Eastern/Europeans likely precedes the Holocene (>12,000 ya). We also find significant signatures of sub-Saharan African ancestry that vary substantially among populations. These sub-Saharan ancestries appear to be a recent introduction into North African populations, dating to about 1,200 years ago in southern Morocco and about 750 years ago into Egypt, possibly reflecting the patterns of the trans-Saharan slave trade that occurred during this period”

I wanted to follow up about what you said in regards to African ethnicity. I was happy to hear that your father told you about having African blood before you did the test. The hardest part for me is that I do know that some Mexicans do not want to talk about having some African blood in the family. I have tons of relatives from the Mexican side and only one person has responded to me that has mad me happy. Any tips that you can help me with moving forward with the Mexican side of the family would be great. I got my mothers done so we could hook up with her contacts. Funny, my mother looks exactly like a Mexican in hair and skin color. Thanks you

Unfortunately there are some Mexican that do try to avoid their Native American and African side, but it is part of what many of us have in our DNA. I am glad you did one for your mom, as it may have more interesting information. A tip would be to start a family tree. I did my on Ancestry.com, and start plugging in names and locations.

FYI the whole Spain thing was a political power move. The term Spain comes from the Romans and that was the Castilian King/Queen used to unite the area. Iberia is what the Greeks called the area, hence Iberia and Spain are literally the same region. So the language they speak in Mexico, along with some native languages, is Castilian.

Most of our Portuguese ancestry in us Mexicans came because we had ancestors from Galicia, Spain, and Galicians (Gallegos) and Portuguese people used to be a Kingdom till they split, but Galician language and Portuguese are linguistic and genetically very similar, the diferences are that Galicians are Spaniards citizens and Portuguese are independent, plus Jalisco used to be called NUEVA GALICIA for all over 300 years until Mexican Independencia, alot of Galicians settle Jalisco and Southern Zacatecas as well as Western Michoacan, thats why we have Portuguese in our DNA, in my Family Tree from Jalisco i had Galician Surnames..

Y fue realmente impresionante, porque como mencionas en tu video hubo judíos conversos -sefarditas. Que huyeron y se asentaron en lo que hoy es México y el sur de EEUU. Asi que era probable ser descendiente de ellos, pero no de askenazis, que son los judíos del centro, este de Europa, mientras que los sefarditas son del sur del viejo continente y también con gente del medio oriente.
