What is Our GENEALOGY? - Our Heritage DNA Test Results! | Ep.76

[@ItsmeeSaoirse]

I feel that I need to destroy this stereotype of Irish people being red/ginger. Only about 9% of Irish people are red-haired. Irish people are mostly dark-haired with blue eyes.

[@Duquedecastro]

Awesome. I usually feel the need to destroy the stereotype that Mexicans with red hair are Irish! Our Spanish ancestors were also Celtiberians/Celtic in the ancient past. People should know the truth!

[@fosheefamily4477]

As a flaming redhead who is still asked when my family came over I second this… I’m half Norwegian and not at all Irish 🤷🏻‍♀️ BUT… Ireland does have one of the top 5 percentages of natural born redheads in the world along with Scotland, the USA etc. etc.

[@whyaskwhybuddry]

There are Africans with red hair and others with blonde hair. I saw a black man in Kansas city with blue eyes.

[@mariajane542]

@@whyaskwhybuddryno there not African Americans are mixed with a lot of European ancestry

[@mariajane542]

There more redheads in Scotland then in Ireland almost 15 %

[@josephinem.]

Hi, Dutchie here, I can track back my ancestry back to 1440. My ancestors all lived in the north east of the Netherlands. My DNA result is 93,2% English, 5,8% Scandinavian and 1% Middle East. The English is solely due to fact that the English are Anglo- Saxon, angles from Denmark en Saxon from North east Germany / north East Netherlands. So Zach is very Dutch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@connorparker6461]

Alot of Flemish have migrated to England aswell throughout history, there is even a place in Pembrokeshire known as Little England Beyond Wales and they are mostly of Flemish descent. Even where I live in the English Midlands there are alot of families with anglicanised Flemish names, there is even a family in my village with the surname Holland and have been here a very long time. Genetically English and Dutch people are basically the same, a mixture of Germanic and Celtic and descended from very similar Germanic peoples like Frisians, Franks, Saxons and Norse.

[@lindadianesmith6013]

My DNA results didn’t surprise me too much. I’m more Scottish than I expected. However, I was shocked to discover that my Mom’s first husband was not my biological father and that I had a half sister and 3 half brothers I didn’t know about - not to mention a father I never heard about.

[@annais_trash2349]

Most people don't know this but more Scottish people have red hair than Irish people.

[@72CrossingRS]

Genetics are amazing. Migration was amazing. The mixing pool made us who we are.❤

[@shadowkissed2370]

As a genealogist, I can say often times the paper trail and the DNA does not match. People moved around, and borders changed constantly. Also, the DNA only goes back a certain amount so it is possible at one time your family was where the paper trail came from. We also need to remember that some countries do not test as much as others and in some countries such as France it is against the law to take a DNA test. For example, Louis Monet (made up name) is french and his whole family lived in France. Louis goes to England and meets an English woman who he falls in love with and marries. He brings her back to France and they have a son Hugo Monet. in Hugo's lifetime the borders switch and a german city becomes a French city he meets a woman who lives in the city that was formerly German and he falls in love and marries her, they stay in France and they have a son Andre Monet. Andre meets a woman from Ireland and marries her, they settle in France and have a son Paul Monet. And so on and so forth. By the time it gets to you, the paper trail says your family is from France, and your last name says you are obviously French, however, your DNA shows no French because of how far back your actual French ancestor was. It doesn't mean your family isn't French, it just means you personally have not inherited the French DNA. Also, the tests from different websites are different because they go off their own base of DNA findings. If you took an Ancestry or 23andme test you will come up with a different percentage and or different area of ancestry. For example, my DNA findings on Ancestry say I am 28% England & Northwestern Europe, which includes England, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, 20% Germanic, which includes Germany, Austria, Switzerland, 19% Scotland, which includes Northern Ireland, 15% Northern Italy, 6% Southern Italy, 12% Iberian. While MyHeritage says I am 41% English, 25% Eastern European, 12% Iberian, 8% Italian, 1% Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and 13% West Asian. Ancestry DNA results follow my paper trail more so than the MyHeritage does. My paternal grandfather is 100% Italian and my father is 50% Italian so Ancestry showing I am about 25% Italian is correct. Also, with your DNA matches, don't go off what the website tells you the relation is. Go off the cM's you share with the match. The website will only give you an estimation.

[@MenTry]

This was awesome!

[@HeatherMichelle1989]

So after Cam and Austin did theirs my husband and I ordered our dna kits from my heritage and we were shocked especially by my husbands results. We both thought we were mainly English, Irish, German, and Native American. My results were 82.4% English 11.3% Irish Scottish and welsh 3.9% Greek and south Italian 1.2% ashkenazi Jewish 1.2% Balkan My husbands results were 45.7% Scandinavian 17.7% English 13.9% east European 12.7% Italian 4% North African 1% Nigerian Needless to say both he and I and our parents were shocked by the results!

[@azhungryhowies]

If you didn't already know, you can also scan for friends near you and see if you are all related.

[@Laochri]

Keep in mind, those results will change. I was 58% Scandinavian and 10% Irish/Scottish. Now 53% English/Northwestern European and 33% Scottish. The more time goes by the more in depth the research goes.

[@autumnphillips151]

Fascinating results. I could have guessed all those tbh, maybe in a different order at worst. My results were these: 54% Native American 2% Inuit/Alaskan 42% Iberian Not that surprised to be honest but it's always fun to find out what you are.

[@AdamNisbett]

For what it’s worth, from my experience (have been working with dna testing for genetic genealogy for my extended family for close to 10 years) MyHeritage’s (a newer company) ethnicity estimates are a bit less refined and prone to error than some of the DNA testing giants like Ancestry and 23andMe that have had more time to refine the estimates. So with MyHeritage it’s not unusual for the estimate to be off somewhat in either amount or exact location. So the ‘missing Dutch’ for the guy on the left may just be lumped in with the English estimate as those are very similar DNA wise.

[@CathleenMJennings80]

A) My mom's family names (and locations) were Netherlands: VanWesten, Staat, Groot & Reidenga. Her dna came back with Germany & Scotland! She was totally blindsided, like Zack. B) I'm a ginger with 2 brunette parents. The mutated Ginger gene is recessive- so both my parents had the gene and that's how i got the red hair/pale skin. My bro is a tan, dark haired god lol He's Colin Farrell and I'm Conan O'Brien. :(

[@jamiehubbard2825]

Hi you guys. After I watched Austin and Cam do their MyHeritage DNA kits, I ordered one and mine said that I am 64.1% English, 32.5% Scandinavian, 1.9% Italian and 1.5% Iberian. It also said that I have over 15,000 distant relatives. I didn't write down the exact number. I have to say that this is kind of neat. Thanks for doing this. Hugs to you all. Take care!

[@tanaliehein4790]

[@Deisi666]

Ok so before I start watching the video I just have to say that just 2-3 days ago I was watching a men Men Try video ( I’m a new subscriber to both channels😊) the one where you and Austin did the My Heritage DNA test, and I was thinking to myself like “Man, I hope they do this on Five’s A Crowd” and you did! I’m so excited for this, I’m super into like genealogy and so this is gonna be so much fun to watch😃 I’m especially excited to find out if my guesses have been right😆

[@estherhall3307]

When you talked about being related, the truth is that we're all related if you go back enough generations. I'm about 40% English/Irish/Welsh, about 40% Middle Eastern and 16% Italian, according to my Ancestry DNA. I don't know where the Italian came from because my mom's side of the family doesn't have any. My biological dad is Iranian, so we think the Italian comes from his side somewhere.🤗😘

[@conniemurdoch8528]

If you test with different companies, you get vastly different results. My ancestry and my my heritage are completely different. In fact they couldn’t be less alike. If you are really serious about this I recommend taking that approach. In fact I would go with Ancestry first. They allow you to download your dna data and you can upload your dna data to all the companies that allow that for free. It’s the same sample just analyzed by different algorithms. You will have larger numbers of people to compare to. You DNA estimates will forever changing because they are estimates.

Not all Irish are redhead ... They also have dark hair, blonde hair and they have blue eyes, dark eyes and green eyes. Same everywhere in Europe but there are just different percentages of blonde hair, dark hair, blue/brown/green/honey eyes in fonction of the country (if it's located northern or southern Europe) 😉 My friends in Sweden have almost all dark hair (but the girls tend to have a much higher percentage of blonde (and lighter blonde) because of hair dye) and one third have brown eyes, one with amazing honey/copperish eyes, one with green eyes and the rest of them blue eyes 😉 And I have a Spanish friend who has blonde hair with blue eyes 🙂

[@gundisaluusmenendiz]

Your Dutch is in your English component, as many Brits score Dutch on gedmatch!

[@jackieblue1267]

MyHeritage is not 100% accurate and also he should compare with other Dutch to see what they get. They most probably get a similar breakdown. He should test with 23&Me as they have refined their results over the years. No on these tests will get Dutch but only Dutch Genetic Groups as there is not category just for Dutch. All of the people above get Irish, Scottish and Welsh yet get no Genetic Groups from those areas so unless they have ancestry from that area it's most probably just part of the ancestry composition but not genuine.

[@brianmurphy9250]

If you've irish, the Scandinavian DNA could well come from either the vikings coming to Ireland before Brian Boru defeated them or more likely through tbe Anglo Norman invasions. The Norman, were tbe Vikings ancestors who had settled in northern France and then invaded England first, and then Ireland 100 years later after becoming the 'Anglo Nornans '

[@brkhrt3595]

The English actually came from Scandinavia. The Anglo and saxon "axe men" come from the same area the vikings came from. England means "Anglo land". The anglos were viking before the Viking era. Theyre the ones that gave the romans a hard time when they conquered Britain at the time. The anglos were rading roman Britain. When the romans left the anglos moved in to britian. They were still pagan. Then with Christianity the Anglo atarted to relax and got raided by their cousins the Vikings. Lol❤ You can say that after the Romans left Britain became viking history. Iriland also has a Viking history😊

[@Zodia195]

@3:43- LOL, yeah not all redheads come from Ireland lol. Like my grandma is a redhead, and her maiden name is Gillespie. I was always told that was Irish, but for all we know it could be Scottish too lol. I did get my DNA results and 40% comes from the British Isles (including Ireland), so there's still a possibility that my paternal grandma's family (on her father's side) is Scottish lol. FYI, I got my DNA test from 23andMe. It was an early bday present from my brother and sister-in-law. Now it was even MORE fun to compare my brother's and my results because while they were obviously similar enough to establish, "Hey y'all are siblings", there were some major differences in the distribution of those results. I mentioned how I was 40% British/Irish, for my brother that was 16% lol. He was over 60% in German/French, I was 45% of that. Everything else was spread out against mostly Northern Europe (no Southern Europe in there). And a trace amount of African (my dad's family lived in the Southern US states pre-Revolutionary war, so that doesn't surprise me, the African nations were western). Growing up, I always KNEW I was French, British, and German (was told I was Irish), due to the family historians in my own family. I just always wanted a DNA test done to see the percentages and to see if anything else popped up since my dad's family has been in the US before it was founded (my mom's family came in between the 1840s and 1900s).

It is easy to explain because Dutch DNA does not exist. DNA goes back thousands of years when the Netherlands was still a sea. Our Dutch DNA comes from the same pool you descend from. I am a Dutchman hundreds of years ago, but my DNA tells me as a Dutchman 63.4% Scandinavian and 34.6% North European German tribes Engenland French. So there is no real Dutch DNA.
