    So glad you are answering these questions on a personal level for average people - and not doing your whole focus on people who have youtube channels - most of us don't need that much attention. Keep up the good work.

    At 9 minutes or so in - you have a person from Dominican Republic with Sardinian ancestry - Sardinia used to be part of the Kingdom (technically Crown) of Aragon (& later Spain) until the early 1700s, additionally Sicily & Naples (the Kingdom, not just the city) were also part of the Kingdom of Aragon until the same point in time.

      Similarly for the Guatemalan-Mexican conundrum - The Maya were around almost until 1700 in the general area of the Yucutan/Belize/Guatemala, it'd make a lot of sense for anyone having Mayan ancestry to match to modern-day Yucután Mexican & Guatemalan populations.

    The Mayans settled in what now is part of Mexico and Guatemala that is probably were the Guatemalan is coming from it's the same problem you get in Europe your family may be French but you get German ancestry results from the test. Why do people forget that the borders of countries are a modern thing as a matter of fact several new borders have been drawn since World War II and even more recent since the fall of the Soviet Union. The countries we have today didn't exist 1000 years ago.

    My mom and both of my grandparents are from Guatemala and Ancestry DNA shows me to be 27% Indigenous Americas-Yucatan Peninsula😊 I'm going to boldly say her big percentage of Indigenous of the Yucatan means she's Mayan!

  • @dnajunkie1929

    My husband from Northern Mexico. Had around 24% Italian, family history said Spanish and French. His Mytrueancestry also heavy on Roman Hispania. ... HomeDNA gives a relationship to the Captaincy of Guatemala which he harrumphed dismissed that until I said probably Spanish, lol.

    • @ChrisM-vz4pe
      @ChrisM-vz4pe 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The thing is that dna companies such as HomeDNA and MyHeritage are very inaccurate with dna results because their dna database are out of date. Whereas 23andme and Ancestry are far more accurate with dna results because their database is often updated. Get your husband to try 23andme you won’t regret it.

    That "Sardinia" may be "Corsican" which would make more sense considering the history of Corsica.

    I need to remember to make a post on the reddit forum. It's incredibly frustrating that I have a brick wall with my own great-grandmother. She was literally on one census and gone the next. No death certificate. No divorce decree. I managed to find her listed in some sort of town directory later down the track... but have no idea what happened to her. I have a sinking suspicion she ended up in an asylum.

    I love listening to your Vlogs but I shouldn't listen while I'm working! I always get the itch to open up my ancestry dna to see whether I have any new matches and where our ethnicity results line up! I now manage my dna and the samples for two of my adult children. I am waiting for results of my ex husband, 2 more children and two grandsons which are 1/2 brothers. Once I have all of this information I would be interested in having you take a look and see how the dna breaks between mine and my ex's results.

    Hi did you realise that this video is 360p? I thought my eyes had gone as everything was so blurred 😃

    • @GeneaVlogger
      @GeneaVlogger  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Oh wow, I didn't realize. I just checked and it is limited to 360p or less. Thank you for letting me know! No clue what happened because I always make my videos 1080p. Checked the video before this one and my video for later this week and both are 1080, so I must have screwed something up when exporting the mp4 or uploading to youtube. Hopefully this doesn't detract from the video too much!

    Do you help with mapping out really big family trees?? My family is HUGE and I would like help in trying to figure out the best way to go about mapping out for a visual representation. For example when I was little, my great grand mother was in the local news paper, at that time she had 99 grandchildren and 89 great grandchildren and that was in like 1982.

    • @GeneaVlogger
      @GeneaVlogger  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I don't take on private clients at the moment but you might be able to find someone who can help you with that through APGEN's directory. You might also just try a few different online tree builders. I personally like Geni best because it gives you the best tools to manipulate the view of the tree (# of ancestors, # of descendants, ancestors only, and multiple language entry fields). There are a lot of third party tools too, such as DNA Painter's family tree software which allows for heat-mapping family trees based on certain parameters (location of birth, age at death, etc). Best of luck!

    Btw Russia has at least 13 very different genetic groups among its indigenous population, most of them may be easily more related to some foreign population than to each other. I doubt Chukchi would have the same genetics as Karelian

    I'm brazilian and my results were kind of a surprise! I'm almost 60% iberian (predictable), 25% French and german (cool but not surprising). What surprised me is that I'm 6% north african (morocan and algerian), 7.5% greek and 2% indigenous from central america! I was expecting the Iberian + indigenous from south america + sub saharian african, cause these are the most common results here in SA.

    • @bearclaws5671
      @bearclaws5671 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The North African ancestry isn't surprising. North Africans used to have some power over Southern Europe so it's not unusual for people of Iberian or Italian backgrounds to have some North African ancestry.

    History tells of Yaqui (Sonora, MX) and Mayo Natives (Uto-Aztecan relatives) uniting against Spaniards and Mexicans in 4+ centuries of Yaqui struggles against foreign conquerors. Many Yaqui were brutally massacred and sold as slaves to Agave (sisal rope) plantations in the Yucatan Peninsula. 2/3rds died under forced work conditions, but some returned home to the Yaqui Valley, hence mixed bloodlines (interestingly, Yaqui women could only marry Chinese workers). In 1868, 150 Yaqui people held out in a church and were burned alive by Mexican soldiers. Yet, Yaqui oral history describes a man, believed to be "The Savior", visited them generations before and was to return. So, when the Jesuits arrived in 1500, over 5,000 Yaqui were baptized in 2 weeks. As of today, Yaqui bands have a treaty with Mexico, a US reservation in Arizona (Pasqua), Texas state tribal recognition, and many communities in California and other states (where they fled for safety), with efforts to preserve traditions, language and culture. Yet, the Uto-Aztecan peoples of Pipil, Hopi, Shoshone, Ute, Piute and more have lived in Western Northern Mountains of 2 Continents for millennia as First Peoples; from Canada of North America to Central America. Please learn more of these great people of faith, family and perseverance.
    My DNA shows this ancestry, as well as Taino of Western Cuba (of which, Yaqui ancestry is the only possible common denominator). I recently learned of this through Ancestry, when dna from a tooth of an ancestor was discovered in the Bahamas. The early theory is that the Taino migrated from the Amazon millennia before. Please consider segments on the Taino people, whom had been previously described as long extinct just decades after 1492, when they found a lost and shipwrecked Columbus on their shores. He wrote they were handsome, well-built, and unusually generous, and, then, tragically, declared they would make "good slaves." Love and prayers to my ancestors for their many trials and inequities. We live on in your honor and remember you always. 💞🙏😇👣✨💞

    We have to stop looking at continents as if people are strictly attached to those continents or regions. Usually roadblocks like Himalayas or Sahara Desert are bigger roadblocks to population continuum than are continents. For instance, the ?Mediterranean region spans three continents, but the people of the region probably have more in common and more shared ancestry than they do with many other people deeper on the continent. The entire African, Asian European distinction isn’t clean cut at all and all connect. Which is why it’s often called the Afro-Eurasian land mass.
    Also, many many Germans lived in what would become Soviet areas, prior to WW2 and WW1, with the Prussians and Austrians. Part of Traditional “Prussia” itself is now part of Russia and has passed through multiple hands. As did areas of Ukraine for instance which were traditionally Polish, then Austrian then Ukrainian.

    • @milo1983
      @milo1983 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      People are attached to their original land, just as animals are endemic to certain areas.
      Camels are not native to the cold tundras and penguins aren’t native to the desert.

    • @GeneaVlogger
      @GeneaVlogger  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I've always been curious what type of American accent I have because I was born in California and lived there till I was 5, then lived in Chicago till I was 10, then North Carolina until 18, then Pittsburgh for College, than back to NC. So everywhere I've lived has had a completely distinct accent from the others.

    Thx for helping me with the central Asian stuff. UnfortunAtrly my grandmother died 10 years ago do I couldn‘t test her. But it males sense that it somehow goes back to my east European heritage even if all of my ancestors are from bavaria and France

  • @elizabethlackey9563
    @elizabethlackey9563 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For me...
    I have a cousin that tested and she has 4% NA through 23& me.. She is related to me a few times 😉 our fathers are brothers and our mothers are 1st cousins..
    To add to that..
    Our Mom's (Mother's, our Grandma's) are sister's..
    And our Mom's (Father's, our Grandfather's) are 1st cousins..
    But my dna skipped the NA blood line in this...
    My mom and son both still have 3%, through ancestry, of dna that is unacceptable. In other words, the %'s don't equal 100%..
    My question is, do you think 23& me can help solve this mystery for our family?
    My mom and son dna both do not show NA

      Guatemala was part of Spain until 1822, just like Mexico. From 1821 to 1823 they were forced to be part of the 'First Mexican Empire'. It doesn't hurt to read History.
