Puerto Rican DNA Test & My Predictions (Ancestry DNA)

[@Conqistador6789]

The Southern Spaniards are Erupeans mix Arab that's why they didn't have a problem mixing with the tainos or the African because alot of them were already mix when they got there

[@jonisala]

I love your enthusiasm for your ancestry! I am Italian/Sicilian/and 1/4 Lithuania as far as I know and my fiancé is a very euro looking Puerto Rican. His family though comes in all shades and flavors! We have a 1 year old son now and I’m so excited to learn our ancestry for him. We are doing our tests this weekend.

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Hey joni sala ! Hi there!!! thanks for your kind words. I am certain your kid must be beautiful with that mix! I would love for you to keep me updated as to what your results are and which company you are using. I have some updated videos of my discoveries as well. Check them out to see how wrong I was!!! Thanks again for watching and commenting and I look forward to hearing from you guys soon. Have a great weekend!!!

[@mildreddiaz6435]

Hi I started following you. Im Dominican and I agree with you people from the Caribbean such as Puerto Rico, Cuba and Dominican Republic come in different tones . We are combination of things.

[@JessikaTPQ]

I gotta throw in my guesses. I'm gonna say....68-76 percent European, 7-12 percent African and 17-20 percent Native American.

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Well.... we will see. Thanks for guess. Honestly, I have absolutely NO CLUE what will come back. I do hope there is some diversity! I loved your video and how proud you were to discover your African DNA. I hope I have results similar to yours!!! But again, we will see....

[@no1brittbarbiefan]

Closest guess

[@sacundim]

I think this one and the sequel are some of the best personal DNA test videos in KZbin. You've very much done your homework when it comes to researching your family history, but also general Puerto Rican history. It's infuriating to see all those videos where Puerto Ricans get surprised to see their ancestry results come back with Italian, Irish or French in the list, when it's not difficult at all to note all those folks from the island with names like Santori, O'Neill, Curet or Rosselló.

[@christianraularroyo2497]

+sacundim, WOW! Thank you so much for your kind words. Like I mentioned in my video, I have been 'working' on my family history without really knowing that's what I was doing since I was little boy in the states and I did these videos to help educate people on the subject of Puerto Rico and it's people with a great deal of love and admiration for every single one of the 'branches' that make up our family tree. I just got my results from 23&me, My Heritage and gedmatch and I am putting it all together for the next video. So I hope you catch it, view it and let me know what you think. Thanks again for watching and commenting!!!! Have a great week!

[@danielr.8899]

Awesome video. I predict you will be about 85% European, 10% Taino and 5% African.

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Thanks so much Daniel. I really have absolutely no idea so we will see!

[@joseasantiago30]

Dam bro, you know your history. Mucho respecto

[@christianraularroyo2497]

WOW George Vargas!!!! What a nice thing to say!!! Thanks so much. Waking up to this message has made my day. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I got my results and shot another video. Check it out and let me know what you think.kzbin.info/www/bejne/noXCYZp-eq16p9U I am waiting on my results from 23&Me to see how different they are and to compare the results! Again thanks so much! Oh, and if we are discussing PR history, we will be drinking rum!!!!!! LOL! Un abrazo!!

[@extrambotiko2012]

My grand father was from Lares , and he was white like you. He also spoke funny. "Lechi di poti" ect ..... Ladino Yeah my aunt tells me that the family came from Corsica.

[@christianraularroyo2497]

+Extrambotiko, I have a lot of people buried in Lares!!!! My grandfather's mother was from there. And I just found out that some of my people on my dad's side where indirectly involved with El Grito de Lares which was wild to find out about. Turns out that when the Spanish authorities found out about this, they didn't have enough evidence to imprison this ancestor but they did take all of his land away. Also, what you mention about Corsica is correct! That whole area in the Southwest and then reaching into the interior was (and still is!) chock-full of Corsicans. Here's one for you: I spent the Summer 2 years ago in Corsica and those people know more about Puerto Rico than any of my teachers ever did when I was going to school in Texas and then Los Angeles. It blew me away. The moment I mentioned to a Corsican that I was from Puerto Rico IMMEDIATELY they shot back 'Porto Rico, oh yes there are a lot of Corsicans there. Oh yes, they went there to work in Coffee, etc...' Like I said, blew me away. Thanks so much for watching and commenting and check out the other videos I did updating my info!

[@MariaRodriguez-hb4ix]

Yes , “ lechi di poti “ , “ spaghetti di pi “ . Some older people from Maricao , Lares and Yauco say that. Some even say Laris .

[@Ilovenewyorkcitybabes]

I'm gonna guess 80% white. You look straight up irish

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Kai Almost! I noticed you saw the reveal. Thanks for watching!

[@itoroots7291]

Great research my brother.. I’m 🇵🇷 and I posted my results.. I did have 3% North Africa.. I posted my results.. according to ur verbal history I will take a guess and say you are 73% European/ 15% Native American/12% African.. I will subscribe and follow..

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Hey Ito! Thanks so much for your comment. It made my day. I am getting all sorts of guesses on this ethnic breakdown thing and the real reason I did this was to find more relatives (links) to help me decipher my family history. This ethnic breakdown is just a bonus. Yes, now we will just have to wait and see what my spit has to say. Thanks again for watching and the comments!

[@bejeezus3818]

Wow man, you really know your stuff. I'm looking forward to your results. Puerto Ricans are some of the most diverse people in the world, like you said. I'm already guessing Irish for you.

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Hey Bejeezus!! Thanks so much for the comment. I grew up in Dallas but I was really blessed that my family was Uber-Puerto Rican and really proud of our heritage and from the time I was little I just read up all I could about Puerto Rico. We will see what the results say. I was guessing 60-20-20 but according to what other folks have written here and privately to me, I may be WAYYYY off. What do you guess?

[@bejeezus3818]

Christian Raul Arroyo You will be pleasantly surprised. You will definitely touch most of the markers Ancestry has in their database. I'm going with 72% European (Iberian, Irish, British, Scandinavian, Western European, Jewish, Southern European, and Eastern European) 15% African, 5% West Asian, 7% Native American,

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Wow. That would be amazing. We will just have to see now what shows up!

[@bennomedina-quinsella4763]

Christian.... it is a good thing your family was proud of their Puerto Rico history and transmitted that REAL authentic pride to you and that you YOURSELF actually looked into your history and researched it in from REAL books and didn't wind-up like so many "Puerto Rican"-identified people who couldn't find Puerto Rico on a map with a GPS to rely on or who think that Puerto Rico and its people just dropped out of coconut trees when the Love Boat pulled into San Juan Harbor. Believe me, I have met these morons and it is NEVER a good experience. So be REAL grateful that your family conveyed that to you...or you could've wound-up a generic "La Tino" whose history about himself comes from sold-out idiot 3rd-rate "Chicano" or "La Raza" generic "Hispanics" who don't speak or read or write a word of Spanish, get their information about the Latin American world from the Taco Bell drive-up window menu and think that Puerto Rico is somewhere between Pago Pago and Papua, New Guinea...and who themselves don' t know their OWN history but would dare to tell us ours!!! Not while I'm breathing on this earth! FYI...I lived in Austin, TX for a couple of years when I worked at the university and it was the most frustrating and shocking experience of my life...all I met were "Hispanics" and "La Tinos" (aka Mexican-Americans undercover) in pointed cowboy boots, crotch-bursting Levis, with Skol tobacco chew cans tucked into their backpockets, next to their crumpled Selena match-books and wearing big cowboy hats that made them look like walking mushrooms... Y eso que no me di cuenta...(eye-roll). Que chorro de barbaridades de estupideces y pendejaces HUMILLANTES!!! I still shudder when I think of those horrible days...I never looked back when my plane left Austin...and I have NEVER returned...though I know a few Puerto Ricans there who apparently have no problem living in the midst of such stupidity...I guess 'cause tacos are cheap and you can buy them 24/7...I guess they think that tacos and menudo are Puerto Rican food...SMH

[@christianraularroyo2497]

+Greg Medina, Thanks so much. Let me tell you something, I was LUCKY and Blessed that my folks raised us with not only pride of being from Puerto Rico but also with 'old world' values without refranes, cafrerias, etc. None of that. It was cocotazo-time if we came home with saying something out of line. Like I said, I would read the history books (Puerto Rican history, Latin American history and then the history of Spain, etc) in the garage sudando la gota gorda to learn more about myself and where I was from. I grew up in the 80's and back then in Dallas there were only a few Puerto Ricans in that city and my parents raised us with the knowledge that there was a great deal of ignorance and screwed up myths about us and it was our RESPONSIBILITY to correct them and show the positive of who were.

[@JessikaTPQ]

This was so interesting! I cannot wait to find out what your results actually say. You're so right about how diverse we are. My mom was blonde for much of her young life into her early twenties before her hair darkened, and is also tall and has hazel green eyes. Her mom was dark haired and brown-eyed and something like five feet tall; her dad was tall (over six feet), dark haired and blue-eyed. My great grandparents were another interesting mix: great grandma was tall, Amazonian looking with long wavy hair and darker skin - when I found her records on ancestry.com, they described her as negro and him as blanco. My great grandpa was blonde with blue eyes and a shorty, and had sons with varying shades of skin LOL! You may not "look" Puerto Rican but your energy is straight up Puerto Rico LOL! My mom has for a long time suspected we had Venezuelan ancestry by the way. Didn't show up in my results but I wish she'd do hers! I'm subscribing so that I can be IMMEDIATELY notified of the results video!!! Thank you for sharing :)

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Hi Jessika! Thanks for your comments. This has been my experience as well. The diversity in Puerto Rico is something that a lot of people on the mainland have no idea about. The truth is, I didn't realize I didn't 'look Puerto Rican' until I moved to the states. In Puerto Rico no one ever said stuff like that to my family or to me!! And I put that phrase in quotes on purpose because IMHO I do look as Boricua as anyone else because we are so diverse. I just happen to have blond hair and blue eyes. We can look like anything on the island and it doesn't mean one person is more Puerto Rican looking than another. Any Puerto Rican that actually thinks that has drunk the Kool-Aid and began to believe the myth!

[@delgi9551]

I also think that it's important to talk about that because of the Royal Decree of 1815 that even though Puerto Ricans as an individual may be in mixture of three overall races, genetically and culturally the European component is STILL the most palpable and indelible when looking at genetics and genealogy. The island is 67% European 21% African and then the rest is Taino. And that's looking at PR as a whole and understanding they take into account all the different regions. In places like Lozia the African genetic component is much much higher. However looking at Puerto Rico has a whole, the genetics of predominant European blood with sprinkles of African and indigenous is actually literally a reflection of the island culturally to because the overall cultural impact and biggest contribution was from Spain and particularly the Canary Islands. Elements of African and Taino are of course part of the culture too in different aspects but overall Latin European is the most obvious in many different aspects beyond language.

[@christianraularroyo2497]

In your other comment you called yourself an Italian- American, are you sure you are not from Puerto Rico? :-) I just ask because of the detail you mentioned about Loiza. Not many people know about the cultural and racial differences from different parts of the island unless they are from Puerto Rico or lived there. I hope that I explained the Real Cedula de Gracias well enough. It's a very interesting subject and point that really changed the economy, infrastructure, commerce and demography of this little island. Since I did this video I have been able to go back on my family tree way the fuck back, on some branches all the way to the 1300's . It shows that I have only a few ancestors that got to PR because of the Cedula de Gracias, most were on the island since the 1600s. About the %'s you mentioned, I am not sure they are full on correct, but who cares. Everything else you have mentioned in the above comment is pretty much right on.

[@delgi9551]

@@christianraularroyo2497 yes the percentages I mentioned were thingd I studied for a while and also a reflection from many DNA results Puerto Ricans have posted on here. For example, an average PR on here has always had their highest percentage being European and the only exception were the ones who visibly look Afro-Puerto Rican and identify as such. Interesting enough though even the ones who said "Afro Puerto Rican" were at least 30% Euro. So I noticed that it does reflect what the research claims. Hahaha well thank you! I like studying about culture. Part of the reason ik about Lozia is bc I was Latin European/American studies minor in college. We looked in depth at certain countries. Also, regionalism is a thing in Italy too. In some cases, people actually pride themselves on their region as much as being Italian! Like Sicilian or Sardinian, Calabrese, etc. So I understand what you mean about regions

[@williamperez6251]

I'm enjoying your videos, cousin! I hope to share some information with you about our family real soon.

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Thanks so much cuz!!!

[@delgi9551]

I wish someone would do a video about the historical facts surrounding how Latin America got it's name. It was the Latin Europeans who made Latin America what it is culturally as well as ethnically. That is the many indelible things that Latin Americans all have in common is that link to Latin Europe. Latin America was coined that to differentiate it from North America. So the original Latinos or Latin people are actually from Italy the ancient Romans. They then latinized Spain which then latinized the Americas. The more I studied this the more offended I have gotten as an Italian-American that only people from Latin America are Latins culturally yet my people are the actual Latin people like it makes no logical or historical sense. And it's just another example of how much the US brainwashed people for centuries because even in Latin America They Don't Really refer to themselves as Latin Americans or Latinos but instead identify with their country of origin

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Hello Gianna Deluca, I can not speak for others but I can certainly answer for myself. Personally, I do not use the words 'Latino' or 'Latina' and now they have come up with 'Latinx'. Those are words for people who are way too lazy to simply say Latin American. I personally identify myself as Puerto Rican, Hispanic, Latin American. I have never called myself Latino but I have no issue whatsoever calling myself a Latin American. About what you mentioned about Italians being the real Latins, here are my thoughts (I hope to express them correctly): I have a dear from who is from Genoa who used to joke with me and say 'you are not a real latin. I am a real Latin because I am Italian!' and the truth is she has a point. Now I know there are going to be an ass-load of people (esp. the ones that call themselves 'Latino' who will go off on my) but the truth is, those of us from Latin America and the folks on the Iberian Peninsula, France, etc. owe our 'Latin-ness' to the Romans that conquered those lands and left their mark culturally and linguistically. Here is Europe (I live in Zürich) the people are completely aware of that fact. Get this: I have a friend from Geneva (located in the French-speaking part of the country) who tells me she does not like to come to Zürich. her reason? She is way too Latin!!! So I think it just goes from country to country, region to region.

[@delgi9551]

@@christianraularroyo2497 thank you for actually understanding and not being ignorant lol 😂 it goes to show that unfortunately bc of the U.S., many Latin Americans do not know their history fully. You obviously do though! My point as an Italian American is to help people see the similaritied between these two geographic locations (Latin Europe and Latin America) culturally and to understand it is not a coincidence. Believe it or not many Latin Euro countries have a different genetic admixture from Northern Europe or Germanic. So it's not to hear from someone who understands and is not hateful of their Latin European heritage.

[@Tsukonin]

23andme does not group North African with the Middle East just for cultural reasons but because it is genetically closest to the Middle East (followed by Europe), and very distant from most of Subsaharan Africa. This is because North Africans descend mostly from genetically highly bottlenecked Eurasians, back-migrating to Africa during prehistory. So your predictions shouldn't put North Africa and West Africa together since these ancestries ended up in the New World for different reasons, mostly through Spaniard settlers (and Canarians to a lesser extent) for the former and slavery for the latter. And also because they don't have the same effect on the phenotypes of Latin Americans obviously, West African ancestry producing "black" features in Hispanics while North African ancestry comes with Spaniard features (European/Mediterranean). Anyway, unless you have very recent Canarian ancestry, your actual North African should be less than that of Spaniards and Portuguese people (max 15%). I also think you are way more more Spaniard/Canarian/Euro than 60%.

[@christianraularroyo2497]

hey Adrian! Thanks so much for your reply and helping clarifying this whole 'North African-Sub-Saharan African' business for me. The test I took is from Ancestry, and they put North Africa under the Africa category while 23andme puts N.Africa with the Mid East. I agree with everything you say which is the reason why I said (I think I said it, if I didn't I apologize) that 23andme puts N.Africa with the Middle East because they are culturally and ethnically (genetically, like you say) closer to them and have more in common with the Mid. East than with the rest of the African Continent. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jeffpagan7735]

Intermixed is the wrong word for Taino. They did DNA and everyone had native matrilineal DNA none had patrilineal. Meaning they enslaved the men and took the women as concubines they were raped and had children.

[@christianraularroyo2497]

+Jeff Pagan, I see your point an it is MORE THAN VALID and I thank you for it. I just did not want to get into the heavy-duty historical context about the relations between the white men & Taino women as this video was more about the ethnic composition of modern day Puerto Ricans and not so much about HOW those relations came to be. That will be for another video. :-) But again, I thank you for adding this valid, historical point and I also thank you for watching!!!!

[@bennomedina-quinsella4763]

Jeff...a couple of thoughts on that "DNA" that was done... 1...It was a verrrrrrrrrrrry tiny sample of people in Puerto Rico who PHENOTYPICALLY "looked" indigenous and were from an historically isolated and remote area in the interior of Puerto Rico and many of these sample "subjects" were related to each other. The sample was approximately 70 people which is less than .000001% of Puerto Rico's whole population on the Island and those of us MILLIONS who live off the Island. 2...So...the "Sample" was TINY relative to the potentially 8 MILLION people who can and do identify as "Puerto Rican" who live not only on the Island but all over the world. This is NOT a scientific OR reliable OR unbiased OR objective OR comparative OR representative "sample" by any scientific metric. Additionally, it is well-documented that "Indians" were imported to Puerto Rico when the indigenous "Tainos" died-off or were exterminated culturally by the dominant WHITE European male population who raped or "consorted" with the defenseless Indian women who were enslaved at the time. 3...Additionally..the "researchers" DID NOT include their own DNA. Now what does that say about the "randomness" of the ALREADY tiny sample??? It says that the researchers had a racial-political agenda they wanted to "prove" and as a reasult it was NOT considered a scientifically-rooted "research" and its subsequent "findings" are at best suspect and at worst IRRELEVANT AND DISHONEST and the laughing-stock of REAL historians, anthropologists, sociologists and ethnographers. In simple language..it is BULL-SHIT research done my 3rd-rate "charlatanes" posing as "researchers" and an embarrassment and misrepresentation of the history of the people of Puerto Rico. 4...This "research" has been deemed a FARCE by the scientific, genetic and genealogical world communities. Reflect on that before you put any bets on that "research"...you would stand to win the Kentucky Derby FIRST by betting on a 3-legged horse.

[@vera747]

Awesome video, i look forward to the results. My mother is Boriqua, love my people and all that makes them beautiful. The history of Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula is quite mixed as well. The Moors conquered their Countries and ruled for almost 700 years, as a result Spanish and Portuguese will too have a heavy admixture. Only when testing for specimens from those regions, they can only receive them from people currently living there for the past 4 generations. This means they have not gotten to the root of the Moorish influences on that specific dna. In fact, Portugal natives today look even darker than Boriqua's do today.....in the late 1800's Portugal had imported so many African slaves to their country that Blacks outnumbered them greatly, so they started a campaign to recruit white from Europe to even the field. As a result, today Portugal's natives look very very dark....North Africa, too, having lived in North Africa and also having friends that are Moroccan, they looked like me....and you,,,,,much on the ranges of phenotypes that we witness in the Dominican Republic....Who sets the rules, creates the definitions.....Anyway, i look forward to your results. Genetics is very much tied into my work, so these vids have become a fascination with me.....

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Hi Vera! I am so happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the nice comments. So I got my results and they are a bit shocking. Shocking because I was pretty accurate about some stuff and shocking also because some stuff came up that was not expecting. I am bout to make my video in a bit. I tried to make a video as I revealed the results but I screwed up, which sucks but whatever. I must say, I had never heard of that bit of history of African slaves being taken in large numbers to Portugal. I of course knew about Brazil. I have also been to Morocco and Egypt and Turkey and I must say a lot of the folks in those countries could pass for Boricuas.

The red gene skipped a generation and I have a number of redheaded nephews and nieces. That red gene is strong!!! Where it comes from? I have no idea.

Christian Raul Arroyo my sister did it but I have yet to hear about the results ..my father has done a lot of research like you did..we are from the center of the island and from what he says we have a lot of Taino blood because the Indians fled to the center of the island in the mountains and caves to escape entrapment and death ..my dad says we also have east asian in us as well and Sephardic jew..from what he knows .I look very native and asian mix my dad looks very asian as well my mom also looks super native.regardless of the future results I am proud to be a mix of all the beautiful races I am..

[@christianraularroyo2497]

Beautifully put! My family as well is from the interior of the island. we will se what my results say.

Hi Diana, I understand what you mean. Are you from Puerto Rico?

I have seen people join the group that have had little to no information other than a a name or a last name and the members have been able to help these folks out by providing information, knowledge, guiding them with their family tree, etc. I highly recommend this group because like I said, the members are so helpful and I actually think they get off on helping people out on their search.

[@christianraularroyo2497]

My suggestion to you is get an account on Ancestry and begin your tree starting with your personal info, add your parents and begin looking for documents with whatever dates you can get out of them (birthdates, wedding dates, etc) that will show up in a public record. Continue with your grandparents and so on and so on. And always, always make sure that whatever information you add has got verification. Not just because it's on someone else's tree but that there is a document to say it is correct. You will find that it is not only fun but also incredibly educational and worthwhile. Also remember that on youtube there are a number of videos put out by Ancestry itself to help people navigate the site. I hope this helps. Best of luck and keep me updated!!!!

[@dianahernandez8688]

I havent been able to find the facebook page :/ idk if its me or if its no longer active. I have an account on both ancestry and family search but no paid account cause I am a college student haha.
