My dna came back as 46 percent indigenous Americas. Mexico, Southern Arizona. 3 percent North Americas indigenous. The rest was Spain, basque, Romanian, Welch.
Whaaat Romanian? Never seen a Mexican with that
Also check out this related article entitled "What is the theme in your story?" It draws on another animated film as an example: Toy Story. evalogue.life/theme-of-your-story-toy-story-1/
I'm an F student in filing. Thank you for this !
Haha. We get it. We believe in you - we can all do a little better, right?
I'm 54 years old and just recently found out my father was not my bio father. I was shocked. Had no clue.
Wow. That must have shifted the ground beneath your feet. Sending love and blessings as you work through it.
SOUTHERN MEXICANS HAVE MAYAN DNA
I had a group of Mountain West Mormon pioneers on my DNA test and I don't know any Mormons in my family everyone is catholic.
Are you from Mexico? There were groups of Mormon Pioneers who ended up in Mexico when they fled legal action because they were polygamists. Some stayed there long-term.
And you know what... You've given me permission to not have it all perfect now. That actually makes me feel better. Thank you... now I know I have some work to do.
YES, don't worry about getting it all perfect by now or else you would never get anything done. Movement makes clarity.

Intellect in action. Well done
Thanks, Angel! What a generous thing to say.
Thanks so much! What a kind thing to say.
Clever idea and a great way to show the family story visually! ❤
Thanks so much! You know a thing or two about video, so this is a great compliment coming from you.
To clarify about not being able to, you should be able to use an app on your phone provided you have a mobile audio interface attached to your phone. Something like IK Multimedia's iRig--you might want to share a link for that device or something similar. Just wanted to mention since some people might already have one or be interested and it would remove the voice recorder step for getting the audio where you want it--you also have the added bonus of near immediate cloud storage provided you have the access, and the potential for faster file organization. Also, the Audio to Digital conversion is probably better on an external audio interface (although some cheap ones are bound to be of lower quality). I hope that wasn't coming of as criticism, I just meant "In addition, here's more cool stuff that helps". This was a great video by the way, thanks for the other tips! As both a musician and a techy, on the daily I'm contending with wrapping wires and cables. You tip just saved a lot of production time. Thanks again!
It didn't come off as criticism at all. It was actually an excellent suggestion. There are some good apps for recording phone calls, and they have probably improved since I last did reviews. A couple of years ago, I found them to be frustratingly buggy, which is why I searched for an analog solution, at least as a backup. I can say that TapeACall worked for me for years on a paid plan. Then, I had a grudge because without warning it stopped working for Android and I did not know why until AFTER it failed to record a client session. Thankfully, I had my analog backup. They did not support Android for a year or so, and then it came back. Anyway that is an example of how apps can be unpredictable. But you are right that they make saving files easy, and the audio quality is, indeed better. Thank you for this clarification for viewers.
@@EvalogueLife Ouch, that was a close call. Very smart to have the backup going, saved yourself a lot of grief and time I bet. I don't have Android but I wondered about using a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) like the free one called Garageband on ios. Bandlab might be more stable for a digital solution to track the audio. Chances are it also has good audio effects that you could use to clean up audio, splice up as needed and even EQ it to taste.
Fake
Even these DNA testers admit it is a lot of guess wrok. Yet so many people believe it. LOL
I am about to tell you the truly most stocking story about my DNA test. I took the ancestry DNA test looking for viking and found none. It took me 2 weeks to follow this rumor told by my dark age nobles and found these busts that the Romans have 3000 years ago and my family look like twins of these guys still today and my last name means the eyebrow bridge of the Sarmatians. We were the very first horse people and the only tribe the Romans feared and forced us to be their cavalry. Which forced the daughters to be the warriors and defenders of the tribe. The Amazons didn't marry until the men would return to the tribe, they had arranged marriages. They didn't kill the boys but sent them away to hide from the Romans. All Slavs have Sarmatian DNA but we Poles have the most we are 50/50 Sarmatian/Slavic. I took an ancient DNA test and got the migration results of coming from the Tower of Babel and ending in Poland. Bulgaria was where the Romans boot camp was for the Sarmatian cavalry and someone in my family left ancient DNA in that exact area.
So many people get told they are 1% Ashkenazi jew, it is clearly BS. This is why i take these dna tests with a grain of salt.
That’s weird and scary
My friend was 16 and gave her baby boy up for adoption. She later had 3 more sons. 48 years later one son found out he had a half brother, the long ago baby boy was now his older brother. My friend was glad to be reunited and felt that he fulfilled that missing piece of her heart. He had wonderful adoptive parents and understood as an unmarried teen she gave him up to have a better life.

How can DNA tell your religon .
selling stories not science or facts.
When you think about how much people drank in the 50's, it's a wonder anyone went home with their actual parents.
Cece is a legend in the ancestry world
I have that same mix... Ashkenazi and Irish.
My mom and I did the tests and it told us exactly what we already knew. 😊 I was hoping for something interesting. Oh well.
DNA tests should be required at birth.
If DNA tests are done they should be done at bith since approximately 30% are not bio children. Finding out at a later date isnt fair to any involved.
Just be nice to everyone. Never know who’s your cousin.
In those days, mums & babies were not tagged. Most babes were kept with the mum, but some were placed in nurseries, and so it was up to nurse and the mother to match their baby. Clearly that didn't always work out so well!
My DNA showed me with the highest Neanderthal DNA of anyone in my family. It's cool!
I found that an ancestor was second cousin to George Washington. And my mom's parents were 7th cousins twice removed.
I've started sharing your "tagline" with everyone I work with. Now I can share the full explanation. Thank you!
It delights me to no end to read that this has struck a chord with you enough to share.
Really enjoyed this!
Thanks Andreab! This is basically the underlying philosophy of my work in 2 minutes.
I love this concept, and I believe it to be so true! It gives you a chance to remove yourself, examine it, heal, and then embrace who you really are. Thank you for sharing!! I love and appreciate what you do!
Thank you for your kind note. It sounds like you have already internalized this idea and that you are doing this powerful work. It is so important, so please keep it up.
100% support your message that family history research is for everyone. I was at RootsTech too and now I wish I had introduced myself to you!
Denyse - ah, a lost opportunity to meet in person! There is so much to do in a short amount of time that we will always come away wishing we'd met more people or done more. Perhaps next time? Thanks for your note. It sounds like we have a common perspective. It's nice to meet you here, anyway.
Have you ever encountered someone who discovered that their father is someone in their mother’s family? That’s me. Everyone is done so there’s no one to go to.
I am so grateful TH-cam suggested this video… I process a lot of information and often feel overwhelmed trying to organize it. You’ve given me some great ideas! Thank you!
This makes me so happy! Thanks for letting me know this was helpful. I'm passionate about sharing because I feel that the work of family history, family storytelling, and autobiography is so important. You deserve all the encouragement and help in the world.
Thank you Rhonda 🌈
Beautifully told and powerful sharing. Thank you!
You are most welcome, and many thanks for your kind words. Viewer feedback is gas in the tank to keep creating and sharing.
How many words there are in an video hour? Can I count a script words in Happyscribe?
Hello! Most people speak about 140 words per minute, anywhere from 120-150. Per hour, that's about 7,500-9,000 words.
I'm not seeing a clear wordcount in HappyScribe but it would be easy to copy text into another word processing program and get that information.
In kohberger case does the prosecution have to turn over discovery by June 15th per judge the other day. I thought they have until trial to turn over discovery.
This is so relateable!! Tech issues are just the worst, and especially when it's not your fault. Wild that it got to 99% before failing too... almost there and then gone! But you turned the lemons into lemonade for sure, and gave your students even more value with the video you pulled together from previous classes. Well done! I'm inspired as I head into a day of editing here. 🙂
Thanks so much. Yes, as a video person, you know the agony of losing your work. That's life though! I appreciate your note and for commiserating. Onward!
Wonderful insights here Rhonda and absolutely agree that when we switch off and go into nature, things do become clearer. I'm also heading down the teaching path, which is a full circle moment for me as I used to teach adults in my 30's (computer training) so I'm excited to be able to help more people this way with sharing their stories using video. When making big decisions, I sometimes ask myself, "What's the worst that could happen?" and if the answer is not damaging to me or anyone else then I take the plunge and try it out. Life is a journey - with many chapters and seasons. And it's too short to not do what brings you joy and makes you come alive. My current season is so much fun, and it brings a lot of joy to myself and others. What more can we ask for? We are both blessed to be doing what we love to do and helping others while we do it. ❤
Thank you! Yes, nature is like magic for insights, connection, and a creative reset. Good for you entering the teaching realm. It's a wonderful way to help more people than you can do than 1:1 client projects. Those are great too, and I always plan to be doing projects. But teaching is rewarding in a completely different way, and it's great to have both kinds of work in the mix. Yes, we are so blessed to be doing this work we love.
This lady is unbelievable she's super important. She could solve the JonBenet Ramsey case but they won't let her run the dna 😮😮😮 At least from what I understand that's the case. 😮
What a beautiful and inspiring story! Thank you for sharing this - I would love to visit here one day.
Thanks so much! We would love to see you if you visit. Maybe you could justify a trip in conjunction with RootsTech or another conference one of these years.
