My Ancestry DNA Results- What! I'm Not All Black

This is a review of my AncestryDNA results. This has been an incredible journey for me. Before my mother passed, she lsent me this link that has forever inspired me to discover who I am and how I came to be. It's called the Human Family Tree. Here is the link: • Video

I'm sitting here eating a hot dog and I cant stop looking at the Ketchup and Mustard in the background.

[@nyculla]

That's so neat that you were a Spanish major and learn you are from that area. And i love the story about you buying a carpet in North Africa. Too funny!

[@thereal6486]

There is more to the carpet story, but thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@ang8574]

Awesome video! Mines shown 77% African -28% Cameroon/Congo ,23% Ivory Coast/Ghana ..we could be cousins!15% Nigerian and 11% trace region ( 4% Senegal , 3% Benin/Togo and 1% Mali, N Africa , S Africa and Southeast Africa Bantu) But it was so interesting to see where I came from.

[@thereal6486]

You never know. We might be cousins. I still haven't finished sending messages to all my cousins. ;)

[@ProudChapina]

I love how excited you are in this video!! It's so cool seeing people's results. I did my also and a few things shocked me but some I all ready knew. Most my African is from Mali. Anyways awesome video :) thanks for sharing

[@thereal6486]

Thanks.

[@cassandrasellersm.a.8719]

Nice Results! Thanks for sharing! :-) The Journey Continues........

[@earphbound720]

aww your Spanish is good! Congrats on your results.

[@thereal6486]

Thanks!

[@earphbound720]

check out my results video when you get a chance.

[@BrianPatrickOMalley]

Ghana and nearby Ivory Coast are likely to be some folks who speak Akan languages, people like the Asante (Ashanti) in the middle of Ghana, and the Fante along the coast. The Fante tended to be organized by town. The Asante really began to expand as an empire around 1700, but I'm rust on that.

[@Ejiptiangyrl1]

Awesome results! I have 9% Iberian Peninsula as well, pretty cool !

[@thereal6486]

Thank you!

[@henrylockett2020]

I really enjoyed your video! Congratulations!! We share the same top two African regions. My was Cameroon/Congo though. I have the Iberian Peninsula region as well, but not as much as you. I'm jealous, lol. I always connected with the Spanish language and I speak Spanish fluently. I got Great Britain as well and Scandinavia. That was a shock!! I had no clue. I'm so glad I took this test.

[@thereal6486]

Thank you and awesome! Reflecting back as a child, I would have never guessed that I would be finding this out. It makes you feel a little bit more whole.

[@henrylockett2020]

The Real I totally agree.

[@itoroots7291]

Great results my brother!! Ur Spanish is on point!!

[@thereal6486]

Thanks!

[@CurlySimone]

Great video. Gracias! It's awesome that you followed your childhood passion and majored in Spanish. I was raised in foster care so don't know much about my history so I'm wait for my DNA results too- can't wait to receive my results and I'll be sharing mine as well.

[@shemeciahaskell322]

Why couldn't you just get straight to the results? ugh!

[@thereal6486]

It's my video. Its my experience. I respect everyone's choice on how they choose to do it and I've enjoyed every last video that I've watched. Just remember that you can always skip forward. Cheers.

[@arizonafortrump955]

Why aren't you smart enough to see that at the 8:00 mark he clearly is looking at the results when looking at the timeline

[@codywebster9538]

Schemecia dont live here no more - Alien Ant Farm...

[@ricardocosta5628]

It's most likely that this man's african and iberian DNA got mixed due to the portuguese presence in the Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Congo, Benin, Togo, etc. but he's already talking in Spanish x'D . All those regions are very close or next to each others, and they're all associated to the portuguese one way or another. Many of these land names are english derivations/translations from portuguese names given by portuguese explorers, as they were the first europeans to set foot on many of these lands. If you want to dig up on the past of those regions, it's pretty ugly, some of them are part of what was at some point known as the slave coast due to the slave trade between the portuguese (& other european empires) and african kings ruling those regions, selling their war captives to europeans during the transatlantic slave trade. This practice flourished for centuries.

[@taystorm]

great video. Love your personality and your reaction to your results

[@bclark318]

Very Happy for you! :)

[@Som-Hanoolaato]

Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[@TerraCottaW]

Nice video!

[@thereal6486]

Thanks, Willis!

[@awillis244]

Thanks for FINALLY being ready😳. Now for the good part

[@awillis244]

Cool results.

[@thereal6486]

Thanks, Terra!

[@allies7184]

Any ancestry that is less than 1 percent has to be taken with a grain of salt. It just means that DNA is more watered down, and could be filled with discrepancies. I have less than 1 percent Iberian peninsula, but if you were to ask me am I Spanish the answer would be no.

[@IrresistibleWitch]

9:42 start time of DNA Your welcome!

[@AjSjMusicNYNJ]

KUDOS FOR YOU! YOU MADE THE RIGHT MOVE!

[@humanbeing7556]

cool results

[@thereal6486]

Thanks!

[@diamondsandlipgloss]

now u have to speak 9% Spanish everyday, lol....Im learning Spanish and I understood most of what u said👍

[@lanellvital1814]

Are your people from Louisiana !!

[@thereal6486]

I lived in Louisiana for a short while as a kid, but my roots are not from there.

[@terrynqueen9494]

Great results and great Spanish.

[@thereal6486]

Thanks!

[@terrynqueen9494]

+The Real you are welcome.

[@susansmith1801]

Hurry up, damn! haha

[@CAMacKenzie]

I've always been suspicious of DNA ancestry testing, as there is so little to distinguish one race from another, and less to distinguish one nationality from another within a continent. Considerably more than 99% of the human genome is indistinguishable regardless of race, there is more to distinguish a brother from a sister (an entire chromosome's difference) than any 2 men or 2 women from different continents. All this localizing difference has to be packed into that tiny fraction of a fragment of a percent of the genome. At most, a given gene might be said to be most common in Senegal or Finland, but nothing is peculiar to a given region, and very little to a given continent. I have a pretty good idea of my ancestry. My father's parents came from Scotland in 1919 My grandfather's father was a shoemaker, the last of a long line of shoemakers, in a village called Avoch, and my grandmother's ran a livery stable in Aberdeen. My Mother's grandparents on her Mom's side came from Sweden (her grandfather was a photographer in Ostersund) and on her Dad's side from Germany, some Poles among the Germans (his grandfather was a musician in Bremen, I've seen his German exit visa) both coming to the US in the 1870s. I don't begrudge you your desire to find out about your ancestry (if I knew less about mine, I'd be looking for a way myself) but I wonder about the accuracy of the method.

[@TallicatGames]

At least through the mother's side, you can accurately trace your DNA using mitochondrial markers. Those do not change no matter how many generations separated you are from your great-great-great-whatever, as long as it is through your mother's line.

[@mshammond_uk1831]

how do u do that pls ?

[@davidwise3426]

The black Viking. That's funny, bro.

[@thereal6486]

Thanks. I thought it was funny when I first heard it.

[@thereal6486]

Thanks

[@dawnslight676]

You look Caribbean.

[@LoisLaneLovers]

You could have easily been cuban in another life. lol Welcome to the spanish family. ;-)

[@thereal6486]

Thanks! It's great to have a few new families.

[@thereal6486]

Caribbean is cool! lol

[@YI-fk4fh]

The Real

[@helen8152]

I had to stop watching when you started speaking Spanish.

[@Materva-hv6sz]

trump voter

[@helen8152]

No bitch, I'm a Hillary voter.

[@Leksuttaja149]

Helen thats worse

[@helen8152]

Leksuttaja149 Hillary is the most qualified person to ever run for president. She is the most caring and the smartest person.

[@08291958new]

Everhart?

[@hibiscusflower5911]

Can someone point me to the black viking's channel?? sounds interesting!

[@thereal6486]

I can't remember. I know the guy was from Louisiana though. His DNA was very mixed.

[@hibiscusflower5911]

Sounds awesome, I'll never find him. >

[@thereal6486]

I found him. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inS1o2aYd92llac

[@hibiscusflower5911]

Thank you, he sure is mixed lol. that was awesome!

[@MsBthepolyglotteacher]

great Spanish accent!!!

[@henrylockett2020]

Mine was Cameroon I meant. lol. Typing fast.

[@nenehdiminga2384]

Wow most of the high percentages of African are the French part. Looks like you were supposed to speak french

[@thereal6486]

Maybe so. lol

[@TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, your results make me think you are from the islands instead of the US.

[@thereal6486]

What makes you think that?

[@TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, because you have so much Iberian peninsula and hardly any Western European or UK DNA. Yours is very unusual and I've seen a lot of DNA tests but none like yours. The people from the Islands are usually heavily African but the Caribbean folks are heavily European so I was guessing you are one of the rare people but from the islands.

[@thereal6486]

Oh. Ok. Got you!

[@TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, thanks When I was explaining it I didn't think I was doing so well. When I thought about it for awhile I guess I was thinking of people with African and Spanish heritage and you fit the bill even though you have more African than most but you also fall in with the Jamaicans which have more Africans. You just don't seem like an American result but in a way you are because you are mixed like an American just differently lol.

[@thereal6486]

+Midnight I understand. You explained it well.

[@rosemarymartinez2579]

Woohoo!

[@thereal6486]

Vale!

[@rosilatrailera]

Yay! 9% Latino!

[@porkchopfury]

Spanish is not Latino. Latino is the mix of Spanish and indigenous peoples of the Americas.

[@rosilatrailera]

FYI The Original Latin Countries of Europe. Italy, Romania, France, Spain, Portugal. Latin Europe is the part of Europe in which Romance languages are predominant united by the latin languague! The heart of the Latin Europe is situated in southwestern Europe and comprises of four countries around the northwestern Mediterranean Basin (also known as the Latin Arch): Italy, France, Spain (including the Canary Islands) and Portugal (including the archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores)

[@mi-moon_]

And African

[@porkchopfury]

Latin and latino mean two different things. One is a language the other a term used to refer to people in the Americas of Spanish and native American ancestry. The term latino is not used in Europe. I know I'm European!

[@laquandahall6108]

That less than 1% naive American doesn't mean you have it. The test doesn't detect it. you need a separate test for it. Mine said the same and I was told told those who are actually Native American that even theirs didn't show.

[@mongolchiuud8931]

AncestryDNA told me sometimes Native Americans and Siberian and East Asian gets grouped together sometimes by the the computor because 90% of Native Americans are Y-DNA Q and C which is the same as Siberian and Mongol Q and C Haplogroups....

[@LoisLaneLovers]

congrats on being multiracial.

[@001islandprincess]

Black Orchid You mean he has multi ancestry. Race is not a scientific term but a socio-political term.

[@siusaidhchaimbeul5499]

The nations that colonialism put together to make Nigeria were heavily preyed on by the enslaving trade, so yeah your small 'Nigeria component' is a bit surprising. Waiting for my results now, hoping to avoid being 100% European. :]

[@AmandaFromWisconsin]

Why? I'd be happy if I was 100 percent European; there's such a diversity of culture and history in Europe.

[@siusaidhchaimbeul5499]

I'll be happy if it leads to solving the mystery of my Irish great-grandfather. We're all related anyway.

[@pragmatic1ultramagnetic202]

What was your great-grandfather's surname? That'll tell you which area of Ireland your relatives are from.

[@siusaidhchaimbeul5499]

He was a Dowling - could be Co. Kildare but it's quite a common name. Apparently droves of Dowlings went to Australia.

[@pragmatic1ultramagnetic202]

Siusaidh Chaimbeul Yeah that's a fairly common name in the province of Leinster.

[@gailallen6780]

Brother there is no such thing as a mix person. You are of your father, as the bible say. You are one of the lost tribes of Israel. The so called blacks in America are of the tribe of Judah, the same tribe of Christ.

[@williamdraken6018]

Dumb as hell.
