Professional Genealogist Reacts- My Mom's vs My Sister's & My 23andMe Results, GedMatch, AncestryDNA

[@KaySeminomadic]

A cool video! When I did my test I found a great uncle and his descendants who immigrated to the U.S. in 1950 and a 95 year old cousin who last saw my mother when she was a little girl. You never know what you find when you go digging.

[@patp3634]

Hmm the 1950 census is out

[@daniliveslifec577]

My husband is African American. He has 23% central african. It's really cool to see him discover where he is from.

[@ikke2757]

Ok......I am addicted to your posts!

[@LuluCaswell]

I really enjoy your responses and comments. Super helpful to demystify the geneology/ancestry process. Thank you.

[@kiarrasutton9702]

I actually done so many of these DNA and realized how different my results vary on each site. 23andMe: 59.7% West African 14.2% Congolese & Southern East African 15.1% Southern European....(Italian 13.0% -Sicily, Piedmont, Campania) (Spanish&Portuguese 1.8%, then 0.3 Broadly Southern European) 7.0% Northwestern European (British/Irish 6.8% then broadly Northwestern European 0.2%) 1.2% East Asian & Native American (Filipino&Austronesian 0.6%, Native American 0.6%) 1.2% Western Asian&North African (Iranian, Caucasian&Mesopotamian 0.8) (Arab, Egyptian&Levantine 0.4) My mother’s mother side is originally from the Jamaica by the way of North Carolina to Mississippi during slavery. My mother’s father is biracial with Italian and Black from New Orleans, Louisiana. His father came from Italy. My father’s mother side is from Honduras and Belize she is first generation American. And my father’s father side is from New Orleans, Louisiana.

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Hi, Louisiana here too!

[@ALYoungFuture13]

Honduras & Belize are en the Americas making them Americans

The darkest skin I have ever seen, was an exchange student from Southern India. He was darker than any of the African immigrants in my very diverse neighborhood.

[@olajong2315]

I've seen Indians so black their skin had blue tints

[@R.Th.Allan1988]

My ex was from Bangladesh and her sister was almost blue

[@kaleenajean]

Well they spawn from Africans. Typical Asian people too. No surprise there.

[@Cosmicfraud3209]

Dravidians and Australian abo also south Sudanese have that blue black skin

[@lbfaith]

I wish he would make the videos he’s reacting to bigger. I’d like to see what’s on the screen too lol

[@donnaroberts281]

Jared can you do a vlog about how/why Ashkenazi/Sephardic Jewish ethnicity is distinct from the ethnicity of the area that they are from? I have trace Ashkenazi results, but I wonder if that means I have a Jewish ancestor or if my ancestors came from the same place as people with Ashkenazi ancestors? Or it could just be noise.

[@VashtiPerry]

Good video idea

[@Persephoneia01]

They are a distinct ethnic group separate from the ethnic groups of Eastern Europe. For around a thousand years, they were an isolated group within Europe creating their own genetic markers separate from the areas they lived in. For example, you could have markers for both Russian and Ashkenazi even though Russia is part of where the Ashkenazi jews were from.

[@alia7368]

4 years later I would like to see if they all use the LivingDNA kit from the UK to match their results.

[@MsCybervamp]

I have one to recommend for you. I just watched this couple and they are so adorable. It’s called Half White Half Japanese by Pani and Tae. I don’t know that you could do a react on your channel because there are a bunch of subtitles that I’m not positive would show, but the things they brought up about what people in Asian countries have to do to test is fascinating. Unfortunately, they don’t go into the match part, but it was still really interesting to see what she was expecting as a person of mixed heritage.

[@GeneaVlogger]

Awesome! Can you link it for me?

She looks so much like Tyra Banks lol

[@cherylgieseke4415]

She is now Alison Clarke. Have you seen this interview about her genealogy? kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXrKhZyJhNRjm7s

[@digne6502]

That interface is before 2018. I wonder what their results are now? At that time Ancestry said anything less than 5% is trace.

[@chrisg2739]

In your opinion which DNA service is the best to use and what are your feelings on investigators using the DNA banks in criminal cases?

[@lyleeggmolesse5330]

15:51 Lol I said that to Mum when I got my result.

[@kimAb983]

Both my parents are African American and they both have some South African roots. My mother even has some north African blood. I thought it was kind of odd since black people of the diaspora came from West Africa

[@NaughtyTroll]

migrations and inland slavery

[@nikkin.9206]

@@NaughtyTroll not every black person is a descendant of slavery

[@sheenaperez1882]

It's not as rare/odd as you think. The people there migrated a lot and a lot of the times sold prisoners of war too. I have North, South, east and west African and so does some other people i know (they might not have all 4 like me but it's usually west and central or west and south...etc..) ...

[@ALYoungFuture13]

Ef you saw the family crest of Europe , you would not say black people come from West Africa ....that's a stereotype

[@Melissa_M720]

I wish my mom could have done DNA test before she passed away my sister's and I regret not getting it done

[@kenziferon9962]

Just so you know. English speaking people of African descent in the caribbean refer to ourselves as west Indian. We never refer to ourselves as African Americans. That is really only Authentic to "black" people whose ancestry dates back the enslaved population in the United States. It is what they have chosen to call themselves and out of respect we try not to appropriate their ethnic Identity. It's theirs , we don't want to insult them by trying to snatch it away without consent. African descended people in the Spanish speaking Cribbean and south and central America barring a few isolated groups refer to themselves as Latino (in the U.S .A. Afro Latino)

[@lil_weasel219]

improvement on the audio. good good

[@NikhileshSurve]

8:42 Thailand is right but China & Korea aren't in South East Asia.

[@jasonjoseph8700]

I would look for 100 percent DNA matches from India's ancestry like me and my brother and uncle all had a trace from India and they took it off on the update but I got my first 100 percent DNA match with India ancestry 53 percent western India 47 percent East India!

[@linusfotograf]

India is South Asia, Afghanistan is Central Asia and China is East Asia. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@pickle1200]

I am friends with the creator of Gedmatch and that post was made shortly before the company was sold. I don't think they have worked on it since the company was purchased either.

[@irisselene2325]

I wonder how did they get east europe?

[@KaySeminomadic]

From their ancestors who were slave owners or immigrants to the Caribbean. My parents are from St. Vincent as well and slavery is where my white ancestry comes from. The current Prime Minister of St. Vincent is of Portuguese descent whose ancestors have been in the Caribbean for generations. In short, it is a common DNA result for black people of Caribbean.

[@ashmarshaff9708]

@@KaySeminomadic But Portugal is not Eastern Europe. Portugal is on the other side of Europe. I thought the main colonies involved in the transatlantic slave trade were Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and Netherlands. Those were the political and economic dominant countries of that time. All of them are on the West and North side of Europe. What eastern European countries were involved? Not being a smart ass I'm sincerely asking because I can't find it.

[@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath]

@@ashmarshaff9708 You are right, there were no Eastern European countries involved. Who even knows. Could have been someone of Eastern European descent who for whatever reason met one of their ancestors and had a kid with them. Lot's of random stuff happens in history.

[@001islandprincess]

Alexandra Kakuja Greetings. It is called “statistical noise” and people are taking their results too seriously as though it is factual. The estimates are just that “estimates”.

[@sheenaperez1882]

@@ashmarshaff9708 you are right about Portugal But on the topic of eastern Europe, even though they may not have participated as an whole doesn't mean an citizen from that area didn't move away and join in on the activity because I have eastern European ancestry too. People migrated.

[@lauraleecreations3217]

Yay

[@jjwaga23]

When u say it’s rare to have East African dna in the African amaricans one has to understand the historical context of it, like before the transatlantic slave trade there was the Arabs slave trade in east Africa that kind of made many communities to migrate in wards towards the west and people from Angola are Bantu with contributed a lot to the trans Atlantic slave trade.

[@nikkin.9206]

Umm, every black persons descendants were not slaves......

[@DoreenBellDotan]

I really don't this this DNA stuff is very accurate. I'm much more concerned about people's DNA being harvested by these tests and used to purposes unknown.

[@wren9463]

Have you ever seen someone 100% african, and from 1 tribe?

yea, me

Yes sure... So many people

[@empressliving5308]

I will help you out here,, the 2 percent is not that uncommon as not all blacks in the Americas were slave, some are indigenous to the Americas. The Asian traces are usually native America from the Arawaks Amerindian group who mixed with the black population to fight the colonizers. Please check out this black guy from Jamaica's DNA and you will see what I mean kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIekgYCchZmjpck
