Just got my results from 23&Me last night, and found them to be very thorough and complete, and quite close to what I was expecting given the information that I have about my ancestors. The service was affordable and I only had to wait about 25 days for the results to be ready. The whole thing is very interesting, and I am glad I did it!

Just a note on the haplogroups. Female customers WILL have a paternal haplogroup if their father or full-brother have tested with 23andMe. I am female and only had a maternal haplogroup listed... until my father tested, and once we confirmed our relationship as father and daughter, 23andMe listed his Y-haplogroup as mine. Similar thing for my mother... she had just a maternal haplogroup, until her full-brother tested, they confirmed their sibling relationship, and then she was given his Y-haplogroup. :-) Also, beware... you might uncover some family secrets! Our family got a HUGE surprise *close* relative that we never knew about.

My sister did her dna. We knew that on my mother's side, our first ancestor came to Canada from France in 1634. French Canadian genealogy is amazingly preserved. Descendants of Norman french. This also shows Scandinavian and Welsh dna. Father's side shows German and Russian which is weird cuz my father was Hungarian from Slovenia. I find it fascinating as a history enthusiast.

[@Aeaed]

I've been wanting to do a 23andMe test forever but was a bit hesitant when I saw that German & French were one category (and I'm expecting that a majority of my ancestors are either French, Swiss or German), so it was very useful to see that there are actually a few subcategories! Thanks! Leaning towards doing it now!

I had forgotten 6th grade science class. It amazes me how Y chromosome traces fathers fathers direct line. I'm glad you addressed this. XX is a bit more vague for me, still learning. Just so fascinating and profound to me to ponder it all. Two children or siblings receiving more dna of a parent than other etc. And that our ancestors truly keep giving . Sounds sappy, but miraculous to me. Correct me if I am wrong. Ancestry has pure privacy control, while 23 & me can share your dna with any research org?

23andme only shares if you opt in.

[@hanshorstjoachim9498]

Just in case you are still wondering how they get the Mothers Mothers direct line: Thex don't do it with the X Chromosomes, but with the Mitochondria. The Mitochondria have their own set of DNA. From your Mother comes the egg cell, that contains Mitochondria. From your Father comes only his part of the DNA, No Mitochondria. So they are Always from Your Mother. Her Mitochondria are from her Mother and so on.

My mom and I did Ancestry with our DNA and our search, and before we even got the DNA Results we had what I like to call the "Leafagdon" for a few months.

I always wanted to do the 23 and Me one more just because of the Health and Neanderthal results but now Ancestry also has the Health thing. No Neanderthal though cause they don't check that. But I am pretty sure it's there.

But for the people who do know what to expect, it's always been about that with a few surprises. What I am aware of, to my knowledge I'm: 25% British 25% German 18.75% Italian 18.75% African 12.5% Irish. Likely allot more I'd bet. Also my wife will be doing one as well.

[@meteoman7958]

The problem with DNA tests is not all of your ancestors' DNA survives to the present. You only get 50% from each parent; the other 50%, which is lost, may contain unique information of a distant relative from an unknown region. However, your brother or sister may still have that information. I have been heavily involved in genealogy since 1994 and have over 25K people in my file. It has been a fascinating journey with many discoveries of historical personages. We are all cousins. I'm glad I discovered your channel, albeit a bit late. Subbed.

[@GeneaVlogger]

While the Spanish & Portuguese percentage may be coming from your distant Sephardi ancestor, it isn't for sure that is the case as it could be coming from any of your lines. At only 1% it could be as simple as an error in the reading, an artifact, or it could be that one of your ancestors was actually Spanish and had moved to Germany where they had children with one of the locals. One of the problems with the admixture estimate percentages is that they are just estimates, so it's best to take all the information with a grain of salt. As you mentioned a little later in the video, things will change as more people test and they learn more about the origin of SNPs but it is usually those small percentages that will disappear.

[@UsefulCharts]

Great info. I'll be curious to see what my Ancestry results say.

[@GeneaVlogger]

@@UsefulCharts I'd suggest looking into also doing a MyHeritage kit (you can upload and pay a fee to get their admixture too), they are one of the few companies gutsy enough to attempt a Sephardi group, Mizrahi group, and Ashkenazi group in their admixture (although it has very high margins of error at the time being). All the other companies keep away from that and just define everyone under Ashkenazi Jewish (although Ancestry changed their wording to European Jewish). Even so, most Sephardi Jews who have proven paper-trails through triangulated cousins are mostly showing as Ashkenazi on MyHeritage and all the other websites.

And to be fair, the negatice side of how dna can and is used. There is no federal regulation on how your dna can be used. Period. That said, there is also no federal regulation on how knowing your own genetic information can be used against you. For example, if you get a full genetic screening and you become aware of your potential medical ailments, vulnerabilities to certain diseases, genetic aptitude for certain conditions, there is no federal law preventing insurance companies from using that information to raise your premium.

Hey man, a few things about the percentages: we all get 50% of our genes from each of our parents. however, our sperms or eggs contain a random combination of the genes of those parents. they are not split 50:50 necessarily. so in most cases, you do not give the same amount of your fathers as of your mothers genes to your kids. one of them will usually be more than 50% of your "contribution" (so more than 25% of your childs DNA) while the other one will be a bit less. this means your 32% irish heritage might actually be just your grandma. it is a very common misconception that we all get equal shares from each of our ancestors. that is simply not correct. it is theoretically possible that someone has no genes in common with one of their grandparents (that can theoretically be the case if all of the genes in your sperm happen to be either from your fathers or mothers side).

I feel more confident with 23 and me haplogroup designations... they stay back and generalize it. ft dna flipped me right out of my own family, as if I could be a 100% new mutation that takes 1000+ years to get. Very scary if it deletes your immediate relatives... I had zero matches, dating back 1400 years minimum.(it proves I had an error- and they do NOT back down when they make mistakes). Thanks for video. I am at 5 sites.. and it helped me find the serious mistakes (just haplogroups - which should have been the easiest part of it)

[@oshaosha77]

Can I import or upload my DNA test from ancestry and upload it to "23 & ME" or would I have to buy a whole new kit for 23 & ME? If I make sense?

[@milianozuniga-deanda4955]

I love 23AndMe! It's the best one for minorties, considering others tend to be focused more on the specifics of European ancestry which is overwhelmingly white people...

[@gearoidp]

Does your British-Irish DNA break down to areas of those places? like the French-German did for yours around Zurich. What part of Ireland does your family come from? Irish records are very sparse and hard to research beyond the 1800s. Even then, the 1800s are tough.

[@UsefulCharts]

Yes, it does. Seems my ancestors came from Donegal.

[@gearoidp]

@@UsefulCharts Cool, Donegal is a great part of the country. Happy st Patricks. If I took this test I'd probably be quite boring. 100% British-irish. For the last 230 years (we can trace with certainty) all 16 lines of my family come from within 25km of each other in the same county of Clare. Not a very adventurous bunch.

[@gorankoilic6571]

My recent ancestors were Slavs from Dalmatia but I have ancestors from families Korlat, Mamut... I don't know if they have Slavic origin.

[@serggla924]

Goranko Ilić Dalmatians aren’t actually “Slavic” they just speak a Slavic language but genetically they are very different from Russians or Ukrainians.

[@HVLLOWS1999]

Is their a blood one that might be more potent. If not cool I just want the best results possible! Thank you so much for this video! I need to do this. Is there any other suggestions for DNA tests that might be more potent? If not cool.

[@UsefulCharts]

Blood is no better than saliva for DNA testing. I don't know of any company that uses blood.

[@HVLLOWS1999]

@@UsefulCharts Interesting wouldn't have guessed that. Is 23&Me the most accurate or is their others. Cuz I'm tryna get everything EX: If it says Your 42% Iberian ME: HOLD MY BEER, - how much Spanish - how much Portuguese if any Is there: Arabic Berber Syrian Jewish Latin Greek Phoenician Iberian Celtic Visigoth Suebi Spanish Basque? How much of if any. That's just on Iberia and I know I got more than that a lot of French and African & they say Native American from the Arawak Taino peoples in Puerto Rico but Idk bout that one. Also Mestiso Mexican which mostly are Mayan; Nahuatl descendants are fewer. It might not go that deep but I'm hungry for my history so ya. Love your channel and keep up the great work! I will buy something I promise!

[@jeanlanz2344]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@cdev2117]

Had a test like this lying arround for some weeks and was hesitating,. Like, what surprising result could I get anyway? You are probably like 80% german or something like that. So I sent the test in. And the result was surpriningly, I'm 65% english.what also explains a lot I guess...

[@laurenmartin1081]

Have your results changed since making this video due to updating?

[@saritaq8236]

Same as Ancestry DNA test

[@edgarsi]

statements like this are the reason most ppl do Ancestry lol.. throw some extra couple of bucks and you will get full health report from 23andMe (treats, wellness, predisposition etc).. Ancestry doesn't offer that..

[@britopia1341]

Sarita Q AncestryDNA is better.

[@ginkat1318]

This is excellent, thank you

@@jacksonb9268 based on their name, it's probably a foreign person. English is not their native language, so they shouldn't be expected to have perfect grammar.

[@Kueytwo]

It is so amazing that all human maternal lines and yours, start off as originally 95% African human genes. Those genes can make any type of 5% phenotype worldwide (over time).
