So fun! I am adopted and did my ancestry dna test. Results were as expected around 50% African and 50% European and Scandinavian. But the coolest part is that I linked up with a biological relative and found my biological parents! Now I have an amazing relationship with my biological mother thanks to Ancestry DNA ❤️❤️❤️

No my sister, the indigenous population did not go extinct. DNA studies show over 62 % of the population has Taino dna between 12 to 23 % . Extinction was taught in school but it is mis education the correct word is the Taino survivors were eventually assimilated and absorbed the tri-racial Puerto Rican most of us are today.

[@JoyBeforeHer]

Domingo Hernandez De Jesus Yes thank you for that! I mentioned that most Puerto Ricans have Taino blood, I have some too. What I meant was there are no longer full blooded Taino left.

[@kristalsantini4991]

my cousin is full Dominican and 36%, not just Puerto rico. DR has more extremes. Especially the isolated areas.

[@lebebeve4881]

Kristal Santini dame thing with Barbados where some areas have people who are Arawak (the indigenous tribes). And same in Dominica Grenada and St Vincent some of the Arawak and the Taino people sailed to the eastern Caribbean islands for refuge and still remain today in seclusion and generally don’t mix.

[@banmanashah]

Domingo Hernandez De Jesus The Tainos were Israelites. One of God’s chosen people. From the tribe of Ephraim.

[@banmanashah]

Joy Before Her Yes because Christopher Columbus reduced the population by 3,000,000. There used to be 8,000,000.

I am very happy in here. I don't want to go back to USA. I am from Yauco, south side of PR. Kelly, if by any chance you have any family or friends who live in Guayanilla, Yauco, Peñuelas or Guanica and still have electricity issues, let me know. My husband works for the electric company an those are the towns that he gives electric service to. Thank you for sharing your story and I am glad that you visited PR.

I got so excited when I saw this video posted because I've recently been going on the journey to learn about my family and I've done both Ancestry DNA and 23andMe! Seeing other people's stories is so interesting to me. Ancestry actually connected me with a possible very close relative that I never would have expected. I too had many surprises (shout out to the French 27%, Portuguese 17% and Spanish 4% DNA, coming from someone who only knows her mother's side which is all Germanic and Swiss roots🤔) but both Ancestry and 23andMe lined up for the most part, so I feel better about believing the results! It's amazing what our DNA can tell us! Your story is so exciting, thanks for sharing, I learned a lot about Puerto Rican culture by watching😊

[@JoyBeforeHer]

Morgan Miller So cool that you did 23 in Me too and they both lined up! That is reassuring because I’ve heard different people have totally different results from different tests. Thanks for watching! 😊💖

Melissa Torres Lots of other Europeans besides Spaniards settled Puerto Rico. Portuguese, Irish, Scottish, Corsican, French, Maltese, Italian and German ethnicities settled. However, Spaniards were the largest and it’s usually Spanish ancestry (Portuguese too sometimes as they are neighboring countries) that is the bulk ancestry of most Puerto Ricans.

Also, being Assyrian, my DNA test was definitely not as interesting as yours although we definitely both have an interesting history and struggle.

[@21MASSA]

There were Germanic tribes in Spain for some time so DNA from those northern areas in Europe do come out in these test. Arab Dna can show up too. Following the fall of the Western Empire, Hispania ( Spain ) was conquered by Germanic tribes (Visigoths, Suevi and Vandals) and then by the Moors. The Moorish presence on the peninsula lasted until 1492 and the fall of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada.

I actually took both Ancestry and 23 and Me, and found that 23 and Me is slightly more accurate (at least it was for me). They were both fine and got the general idea of my ethnicity, but the 23 and Me report was more exact and accurate to the information I have of my family tree. For example, one of my grandmother's was half Danish, which should amount to around 12% of my DNA. My Ancestry report stated that I was 6% Norwegian and 6% Swedish, 23 and Me reported that I am 9% Danish. That happened a couple of times, the Ancestry report got around the general area but 23 and Me got the exact ethnicity.

[@Jonmad17]

@@Dominican1923 The average Puerto Rican is 64% European, 21% African, and 15% Native.

[@jordanr2244]

Us Puerto Ricans are like the united states. We had natives but most of us are mixed. Most of us are Spanish and african, and tiano(to the ppl in the comments im telling this to, she explained it pretty well)

[@tsalon5864]

Jordan R I would say European, African, Native American. The European may not only be Spanish and the Native American may not only be Taino.

[@disappointed1638]

Wrong

[@yolandacruz8427]

Lo sabia!!!! You look like a puertorican girl. We are proud of our Island and the beaches are the best one in the Caribbean

[@ClassyGyal]

Girl, we are all lit!!! Every Caribbean island is lit. Why do you think films will always show you a beach in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Barbados or anywhere in the Caribbean when they want to show you paradise? Lol

[@kristalsantini4991]

DR is the most visited country, i'm just saying, i'm just sayingggg.

I was confused why I was Portuguese but now that I’m seeing all of us are it makes sense I guess Spain and Portugal are pretty much the same

[@jeffpagan7735]

No Cherokees in PR it's Taino

[@disappointed1638]

Exactly

[@yamiortiz84]

Yay!!! Omg Kelly!! I’m soooooo glad you made this video!!! 😭😭🙌🏼🇵🇷 Bayamon over here! Born in the island and raised in Kansas! I’ve been dying to do this DNA thing because my grandfather was born in Cuba but his parents were Puerto Rican. I love this, how cool! Totally jealous! 😆😁

Beyoncé?

[@carmenrivera4011]

Kelly doesn’t surprise me the you have so much different percentage of countries and continents. Spain it’s a lot of German / French /Italian people and if a person it’s from Spain born there and they were already mix so additional they got with a Taíno and Africans and of course Africans were mix already too . Those are the main reason for that 1 % of so many places ❤️ Hawaian people have Puertorican blood too. So you can see how far our roots went.

[@JoyBeforeHer]

Carmen Rivera Soo cool!
