Shocking DNA Results | 23&Me | Tahiti Rey

[@shauniebnaturalista6672]

I love how excited you both are over your results. You've gotta be ready. Mine were shocking.

[@TahitiRey]

ShaunieBNaturalista Right!? What were you the most shocked by in your results?

[@michellebarlondsmith6243]

that explains the shopping ... made me laugh so hard i spit coffee at my screen ... loved it

When I was young, we lived on Maunalani Heights, and I attended the old Queen Liliʻuokalani school in Kaimuki. I always thought of the eastern coast (where you lived) as being such a very long trip from home, and I recall taking a nap along the way. Then, when Sea Life Park was opened, I was always excited to go there. For some reason I felt the park meant we were suddenly big-time modern. How I long to return. I want to thank you for this wonderfully entertaining sharing of your DNA findings. It is so refreshing to hear people who do not bemoan their Caucasian/European ancestry. Also, I see where a commenter questioned the uniqueness of the Puerto Rican ancestry. If I am correct, Puerto Ricans have a greater percentage of Taíno and Guanche combined DNA than any other peoples. Absolutely fascinating findings!

[@TahitiRey]

Thank you Olivia! Come back to visit Hawaii soon!

[@texascat71]

Sea Life Park was one of my favorite places.

I never took any DNA Tests but I know I am of Lebanese, Turkish, and Argentine descent. It’s interesting what DNA Tests can do.

[@carlswoolf4544]

Loved that. I was born in Britain but so mixed. I have Asian, African, European Jewish, Scandinavian, British, Italian, Spanish I did Ancestry but I want to do this one. I identify as Jamaican because that’s where all my grandparents were born descending from Black, Asian and White backgrounds but were born in Jamaica. So funny. I wonder what Trump’s would say? I managed to trace one family line to 1550 on the Jewish side. So cool because with slavery in the Caribbean a lot of records were lost but with so many people connecting this way we collectively grew our family trees. I have slave owners, slaves and Indian indentured workers (people who migrated for work on plantations after slavery ended) in my bloodline. It’s a tough one to reconcile...to have the oppressors and oppressed in your tree...but I think it’s common.

[@milowadlin]

Congrats! to both of you.

[@Kueytwo]

I think that when most people take this test, they do it with a bit of fear that their parents are not their parents, or that someone cheated on a partner; or they want to know how African and Jewish they really are. But most want to know if the native American really is in there dna.

[@LoreleiSiren277]

you do realize,,,,,,,,,tribes dont use this test for anything,,,,,,,,do your research sweetie :)

[@lorimav]

Not me, I didn't expect and didn't get any Native American. I was surprised to see though that I am about 6% Greek Balkan so maybe I am a little bit Greek like my Greek husband. I am also showing a smidgeon of Ashkenazi which I did not expect.

[@flexingingodspeace7774]

You guys can uploaded your results to DNA Land & GED match for free..That way you can do a comparison with Ancestry DNA.

The surname Rey is very common in Switzerland in the Wallis region and in Spain in Galicia.

[@TahitiRey]

Crls Ry Wow I didn’t know that! 😊

[@fordtoy2000]

After people get their DNA results back they seem more calm and that is so awesome. I think everyone should be able to get their DNA done and it's like I don't need to go to Tibet when I can just look at my results and be like whoa... Nice.

[@TahitiRey]

I agree, everyone should have this knowledge!

[@KrlKngMrtssn]

You avoiding being spanish at: 11:36. I would like to ask you something. Why are you so surprised of having european ancestry if your last name is Fernandez. Fernandez is a very common family name in Spain and Portugal. Like smith or baker in the UK. Were you ignorant about your last name's origin coming from the Spaniards? (You would feel more proud of your name if you once traveled to Spain)

[@TahitiRey]

Crls Ry yeah I feel like such a dumb dumb for not knowing it’s origin! I just thought it was Puerto Rican/Cuban! 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m so excited to know I am truly Spanish and Portuguese now though!!! 😍 Very Proud!

[@PsychicMedium4747]

Many people forget that puerto ricans are mixed race people who speak spanish. Spanish, italian, french, portuguese, and romanians are the true Latins.

[@TahitiRey]

Richard Myles ya I had no idea!

[@PsychicMedium4747]

Tahiti Rey it’s ok I consider it a learning experience. Many Southern Europeans have middle eastern ancestry so the whole thing gets convoluted

I know it's a late comment. Hopefully, you saw it, the results show a break down what you got from your mom and dad. These test are not finding out heritage but it is basically a DNA test, my twin and myself found some shocking results.

[@wendyandcheyennefuentes3649]

If your Puerto Rican your Native would be Taino.

[@405boy4]

Yeah Tainos were unfortunately killed off by those Racist Spaniards who brought their diseases over there and infected Alot of the Taino people..

[@princerose233]

@@405boy4 wrong. Try again.

[@hoodhippie3404]

​@Nanjimoy Al Kursi You're forgetting that the Spanish raped and enslaved the Tainos. The Taino were considered extinct 30 years after European contact meaning there are no FULL blooded Tainos 30 years after European contact. In those 30 years the Taino that were enslaved mixed with the African slaves and Europeans leaving behind a mixed offspring that survived. This explains why modern day Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans have small amounts of Taino DNA obviously percentages vary from person to person. According to some people in the islands some Taino managed to escape deep into the mountains or inland where the Spaniards couldn't get them and existed long after the supposed extinction. But by now have probably mixed in with everyone else. Remember these historical facts were recorded by the Spaniards so they wouldn't know if some lived in the mountains or not since it was out of their reach (not saying this is true). At the time of European contact there were an estimated 4-6 million Taino across the greater antilles. The Spaniards declared them extinct after 90% of their population was either wiped out by disease or killed leaving the last 10% unaccounted for.

[@SECERETSONG]

@@405boy4 if they were "killed off", there would be very little to no trace of Taino dna in today's Puerto Ricans. Out of the Caribbean islands, including Spanish-speaking Caribbean, Puerto Ricand have the highest percentage of Taino dna with and average of 10-20 percent. While many pure natives were killed, there was also lots of intermixing which explains the "mix".

[@tropicMTV]

@@TahitiRey Haha, don't let me put you off it, most visitors seem to like it. For most English people it's a little too crowded, expensive, security/traffic cameras everywhere, and you'll hear a LOT of languages other than English (not necessarily a bad thing). The architecture is pretty cool though, the transport network is good (but expensive), and the museums are free. You'll have to do a vlog of your trip if you ever go!

[@jacoboarca8516]

Well, I don't know why is shocking for hispanic-american people have spanish ancestry, the Spanish mixed with the native population around where they were, differently with the british or french or portuguese, in that places you just find europeans or africans.

[@nillyk5671]

There are Jewish in every race group and they seem to have a certain marker so it's important to point it out but you are right, it's not a race. There are Jewish people who have done the test and it comes back as Ashkenazi Jewish (end of the story) which frustrates them because they want to know more about their heritage. "Living dna" gives Jewish people more info on that.
