The ethnicity estimates were originally intended to tell where your ancestors lived 500 to 1000 years ago before inter-continental travel, so the contents would be Africa, Europe, America, etc. Since there are no living people that old, each of the DNA companies create reference panels from living users who claim that their grandparents were all from a specific location. The DNA companies compare your DNA to the reference panels to see if your DNA is similar to theirs. The ethnicity estimates are given as a range of percentages, so if you click on an ethnicity, say 3%, the range might be 0% to 12%. Each of the DNA companies update their reference panels from time to time, so your percentages will change. Your DNA doesn't change, but their algorithms change. Country borders are political, not ethnic, and many country names did not exist 500 to 1000 years ago. Country names indicate nationality, not ethnicity. Each of the DNA companies create geographic areas for the ethnicities that they identify. Each company uses different break-outs. For example, 23andMe includes British and Irish together, but Ancestry tries to break out Ireland. On one of the recent updates, AncestryDNA changed most of my Ireland component to Scotland, but they now define the Scotland geographic area as including Northern Ireland, the northern third of England, and down into Brittany in France. A friend originally showed 16% France but on the next update, it went to 0% but all eight of the French and French Canadian communities stayed but they were attached to England and Northwest Europe. The ethnicity estimates are the least helpful for genealogical purposes. Looking at your matches and building a family tree is more helpful. On AncestryDNA, you can use their colored-dot system to sort your matches into groups. Plus, last week AncestryDNA rolled out a new feature that sorts your matches and your ethnicities into Parent 1 and Parent 2, but they can't tell which is which. You have to edit them. On AncestryDNA, you can build as many research trees as you want for free. if you attach your DNA to your tree, it will give you ThruLines which tells how some of your other matches are related to you, if they have the same people in their trees. I enjoyed your video. Good presentation. Best wishes in creating a family tree.

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to explain that. I was expecting updates down the line at some point possibly. I did see the 2 parent sides, I edited it. I have almost 50, 000 matches so I've been fooling around with that amd responding to fam so it's cool

Hey Ria, awesome video. I’ve taken 3 different DNA tests years ago and I too have Sweden & Denmark on my results. Not only that I have Ireland, Kenya, Somalia, mali, Italy, England/ northwestern Europe and Native American lol it’s crazy. ❤ Keep the awesome vids coming 😊

[@ADayintheLifeofRia]

Thanks Hun. I appreciate that. 💞 &Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely try to keep them coming! 🙂

Pretty normal for much of black communities to spread oral history thst so and so was Native American . But in reality, most are very much European and black. Not to say for all but I’m waiting for my results from ancestry now! I took one with 23 and me and I was 78% African(Nigeria, Benin, South African) 15% European(British and Irish, and French) and 7% native north( indigenous tribes from Louisiana) which is considerably normal for people who I descend from (Louisiana creoles) which I am. I currently writing my college senior thesis on how whiteness in the black community was flushed out by oral history with great grand parents being Native American when in reality they were products of enslave daughters and fathers who mixed wither their mothers and fathers.

[@ADayintheLifeofRia]

Thanks for stopping by. Great info. Thanks for sharing...I did find Native American in my family but it just dwindled away as far as showing up in DNA once it got to my generation. Interesting history for us all.

Thanks for the informative video 😁 I've just shipped mine today. How long did it take to receive your results?

[@ADayintheLifeofRia]

I was going to include it in the video, but it seemed too long already lol. Almost 1 month exactly

I just did mine:- *54% Scotland *25% Welsh *13 England/ * Northwestern Europe *5% Irish *3% Norway I live in Australia, and seem to be very much a human vanilla milkshake 🤠

Thanks for coming by and commenting. I think most of us are lol

[@curtiswilliams8285]

You not only have Black American DNA Communities but also White American settler Communities so according to AncestryDNA, you have recent White American ancestors which explains why you have as much as European as you do. Cool results!

[@ADayintheLifeofRia]

Yeah my father is 70% white, just dk my mother had as much white as she did

[@curtiswilliams8285]

@@ADayintheLifeofRia Believe it or not, it's actually fairly common for Black Americans to have that much European due to our history as a multi generationally admixed (African and European) population/community. I have 22% European myself and I found out that my most recent Full White American ancestor was a great/great/great grandfather born decades before The US Civil War and the last major influx of White American gene flow before the end of segregation was during the 1860s. So this ancestry fits the history of the Black American Community. So since you have a lot of matches, check to see what White American matches share related matches to what you know from your maternal side.

[@ADayintheLifeofRia]

@@curtiswilliams8285Good info... Most matches seem to be on my dad's side so we'll c

[@KentPetersonmoney]

@@ADayintheLifeofRia so I take it your father identify as white. Don't believe i ever met anyone who was 70% white and 30% black. There was this girl on youtube that was 20% black and 80% white. Sure in the 50% if you you were light enough to passed as white you likely passed as white to get a better job and treatment.

I've been contemplating taking a dna test for years, I just fell weird about sending my dna off to a random lab. I guess I'll never know lol

[@ADayintheLifeofRia]

I understand, I felt the same way, but got it out the way so I know. Who knows what they can do with some of our saliva.

[@LifewithLashawnandDwayne]

I did one I found my dad and his family but me and him don’t talk. Because my mom never told him about me. He haven’t reached out yet. I’m happy I found out who he was.

Yes but at the same time. Our blood has been drawn from the hospital since we where babies. We have to do blood work at hospitals, if you think you’re pregnant you have to take a pee or blood test at hospitals, random hospitals. How do you think the police track us down from our spit/blood/fingerprints haha the government already has our dna it’s no secret if you think about it !!! I say try it I got connected with so much family members 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Justafox305]

12:27 Click on Cameroon, congo, west bantu , if it says. Primarily angola, that’s where your ancestors was taken from. The Angolan/Congo ppl are deleted from USA history books. They lived in kingdom of Ndongo, but it was super rich with oil and gold. Portugal invaded but instead of fighting fair, just kidnapped ppl and dropped them off in Brazil & USA. Portugal took over Ndongo and renamed it ANgola. (Some peope from Congo had jumped in the fight to help & also got kidnapped) The Angolans and Congos enslaved in USA started plotting together & as a unit broke into 🔫 & weapons stores &. Started unaliving 🖐-ppl. So 🖐people got scared, stopped enslaving them immediately & started getting people from west Africa instead. Google stono rebellion for proof

@@ADayintheLifeofRia that you got all those different nationalities You do look pretty exotic But come on now

[@ADayintheLifeofRia]

@klevabeatz3938 Most people don't just have one African country like Nigeria and one European country say Britain. You can have different countries that several ancestors came from without needing to say you're exotic.

[@ADayintheLifeofRia]

@klevabeatz3938 For thousands and thousands of years people of all races emigrated to other parts of the world and so many people mingled, so it should be easy to understand how so many people have ancestors that came from all over the world.

[@ADayintheLifeofRia]

My Father was born in the US. I just thought there was a lot of Native American in us. My Grandmother look Native American and some of my fam on my Father's side is part of tribes in North Carolina. Maybe it just doesn't show up in a lot of people's DNA for some reason.

[@reisanderson9069]

@@ADayintheLifeofRia They probably weren’t really native back in the day a lot of white people and black people lived close too or amongst natives and were adopted as there own

[@ADayintheLifeofRia]

@@reisanderson9069 Yeah, it's possible, but I see that we do have Native in our ancestry. I see that all of my second and third cousins have Native American, it just dwindled away as far as showing up in my DNA by the time it got down to my generation.
