- First video filmed when I came back to the USA! -- Today I have a special guest on my channel... my Grandmother!! With her help, we find out my DNA results... and they were pretty shocking!
Family Background: My Grandmother immigrated to the USA from Colombia, South America when she was 14. This is my mother's mother. My Dad, on the other hand, is from Puerto Rico.
WATCH VIDEO BEFORE YOU READ:
Also, I know a lot of people might say 'okay well everyone has a little African in them'. I think this is true for the most part, but if you are considered heavily Northern European, you would only have about 0.5% or less of African ancestry. Another cool thing to note is that my Nigerian DNA is from only 4-5 generations ago! I was shocked.
Yes, I am over 80% European but a little over 50% is Spanish (added up) and a sprinkle of Italian. I also have 10% Indigenous American which includes Colombia and Puerto Rico (the locations of my most recent ancestry). I was also happy to see that I had Irish DNA, it is one of my favorite places I have visited. Okay I'm done explaining lol, enjoy the video!!!

You tell it grandma! A citizen of the world! 👏🏽 God made out of one man all nations of people, we're all family.
Agreed! That's what it really comes down to. We were a created from God, in His perfect image.
But not every country treats us the same.
Including Neanderthals.
Some nations have a national IQ average of 107, other have a national IQ of 59. My guess is that anyone who thinks that those 2 nations are "the same," would have an IQ closer to the latter.
@@pamle1 Yet those people of the lower latter happened to be racist and judgemental. Which one you rather be?
“Why am I so pale ?” Meanwhile she being 80% European
Not me I'm like half
but a lot of that is southern European, I wonder how much sun she gets
Hardly any haha and I live in Florida.... I don't like the sun much
@@emilyballenger7483 My ancestry is over 95% Northwestern European and yet I get tan really easy. If I lived in Florida, I would be very tan and people would think I was part Hispanic or something.
@@MidKnightblue0013why would people think ur partially from a Spanish speaking country based on a tan? Hispanic = speaking Spanish/from a Spanish speaking country.
It's a really special moment making an ancestry video with your grandmother. I took the 23 and me test back in 2013 and I've thought many times I wish my grandmother could have seen the results. It's awesome that you can share this with her.
Thank you for this comment. Makes me realize how special my time is with her. I really wouldn’t be who I am today without my Grandma. If you believe in anything out there, i think your grandma is always watching over you. Take care ~
Such a sweet grandma, enjoy her to the fullest😍.
It`s amazing, you are literally a citizen of the Earth. Your Grandma is such a wonderful woman. You`re really lucky to have her!
Grandma is beautiful
I think so too!! Beautiful on the inside and out (:
Your grandmother is very understanding and beautiful.
What an awesome Grandma! I just love Colombians!
I've literally watched hundreds of these ancestry results and your video is one of the best, you guys are so cute.
I’m so glad you liked the video! Thank you for the kind comment (:
Very cool admixture, but the best part you got was your grandma, she's a gem.
Couldn't have said it better myself (:
Mima needs a TH-cam channel! Every time she says something I learned something ❤️
Your grandma seems like she's very sweet!! I like her.
She is the funniest person in the world
You are a beautiful young woman, and looking at your beautiful grandmother, I can see where a lot of it comes from.
Wow that’s amazing. It’s beautiful to just look at those results so colorful. I’m almost 50/50 Eastern and Western European. My grandma immigrated from Hungary. I’m just about half Hungarian. The other interesting thing was that I have small traces of western Asian in my blood about 0.8% or something like that.
Thank you for sharing!
Look into were the Hungarians came from. There is a reason Hungary is part of the Turkish Union. Look at where the other countries of that Union are located.
Yeah so not. Hungarian speakers came from the western Urals. Western Asian is not much Turkic and more Anatolian.
“why am i so pale” bruh you’re 80% European 😂😂
Mima is so cute and supportive. I love her 😍😆
Thank you so much!!
This is one of the best DNS reveals I've seen
She is the coolest Grandma ever!
Right??!!
OMG your grandma and what she said using Italian as an example - that was me hahaha I am like a third Italian according to 23 and me, and NEVER had any idea
You have one of the most mixed ancestries I have ever seen, as well as a super cool and wise grandma!
Really? 80% european lol😂
@@kimwoldnot the point. She has ancestry from many different places, regardless of the percentages.
"How am I so pale?"
Her results: 80% European :V
My results are similar to yours but both my parents are Puerto Rican. My Spanish and Portuguese came out to 75%.
Yo soy español y me salio 100% 😂😂
Awe this is beautiful.. I'm waiting for my results now
Your dad is from the Caribbean, of course you're going to have some black ancestry, even if it's just a little bit. Also, your North African ancestry likely comes from the Canary Islands. A lot of Spaniards who immigrated to Puerto Rico came from the Canary Islands, and the average Canarian is 20% Arab/North African.
My Grandma explained this to me too! My dad has not been in my life, so I wasn't sure what parts of my DNA I would get from him, hence the shock of African and other ethnic results. Thanks for your comment!
20% is today's average. A couple of centuries ago the average of Bereber blood of Canarians was higher.
@@jmtrevijano9160 Also in Todays Canary Islands there is now Native American ancestry because of reverse migration btw Cuba & Puerto Rico and other S.American countries. So those Canarian people can look totally like Latin American mestizos...
Anyways If yall wanna see what pure Spanish family looks like watch Verdeliss DNA results they score 100% Iberian
Lol but so does every white north American
It's true! Most part of Canarians have significantly Higher north African DNA (bereber/guanche) than spaniards from Peninsula and lots of latin americans have Canarian ancestry. I'm from Spain (Andalusia) and I had results 100% European (mainly west part). I saw on internet videos of spaniards and have a high iberian DNA (usually 60-100%) and a few proportion of other countries, for example Italy (Roman empire?), north Africa (Cartagho o Al-Andalus?), british, jewish, central-Europe, south slavic, middle Eastern...). I think future spaniards Will be more mixed for recent immigrations. I also saw videos of North African People with iberian ancestry (iberians muslims expelled in the Reconquista?). DNA results are fascinating!
Wow! You have Nigerian blood! Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
❤
She's so funny and the two of you are a breath of fresh air 🙂
Thank you!!
Stumbled across this video looking for DNA tests for Hispanic ancestry (I'm half Colombian myself 👀) Such a sweet grandma! And very cool results! Now I'm really curious about mine. 저도 한국에 관심에 있어요 ㅎㅎ
12:43 😂😂😂 Your grandma is funny. According to my dna I should also hate cilantro but I love it. This love was instilled in me since I was a baby so I guess it's an acquired taste.
The cilantro part of 23 and me is educated guesses.
@@Catlily5It’s statistics really. She’s just the minority part
@@Ash_Queen16 Yes. I am sure that they base their educated guesses on statistics.
@@Catlily5 Sarcasm?
Amazing grandmother whose mind is very open. Very modern.
Your features probably comes from your Spanish ancestry because I saw it say that it’s from Asturias, España 🇪🇸 which is in the north. And blonde or reddish hair is more common in northern Spain 🇪🇸 because the Spaniards of northern Spain are of Celtic descent. Celtics of Ireland originated from Northern Spain many years ago. My Galician side are all blonde and blue/green eyed.
Spaniards are celtiberians. Most part have Brown hair (from Light Brown to almost Black hair). Some spaniards have blond hair (same proportion in north and south, only I think there are more red heads in Galicia), but they are a minority as other nations in Southern Europe. You can only find lots of blondes in Scandinavia (not all the people). All Europeans usually have Brown hair.
I consider Emily has brown hair. Nice DNA results, as most part of people with latin america roots.
Beautiful grandma! Words of wisdom I agree with her I feel that doing our DNA shows us how we are all pretty much the same. At the end of the day we are family. I feel it is a good way for people to humble themselves and realize that there is no such thing as a one kind for the majority of us are a beautiful mixture of many varieties of cultures. Lovely video thank you for sharing.🙏😍
Thank you for sharing your video I enjoyed it ❤️
We all are mix with something even if the DNA test cannot figure it out because the DNA test can only go so far
Not everyone is mixed with different species of human.
So glad to meet such a great Wonderful
Person- your Grandmother!
( you get 50% DNA comes from your
Mom, 50% from your Dad!). Sweet, right!
I don't think it's an even 50-50 because some kids look more like one side or the other. Probably depends on the blend for each child. I guess that's why siblings look similar, and some can look very alike, whereas others look quite different.
The basic science of ancestry and gene selection we learn in school up to 16 years isn't quite how genetics really is.
This video has made me curious. And isn't it strange just how much of a difference there is between her and her grandmother. Which I suppose makes sense considering that her grandmother would be around a quarter of her genetics.
You and granny are great Latin Americans, I also got my DNA test a few years ago and got my Mum one and so happy that I did as she passed away since. It is a permanent record of what she was - similar to yours - Mum was Spanish and Indigenous American from Chile, with traces of African and Middle Eastern and Jewish. Mine was Welsh but I got all my Mum's Spanish and Indigenous DNA but none of her Middle Eastern - really interesting, I got mine via 23andme also. Great video!
Just discovered this video and your channel and this video is really cute! You and your grandma!
I took the myheritage test about 4 years ago and considered taking the 23andme test ever since, but haven’t yet. But it’s much more detailed. Pretty sure neither of them is 100% accurate (esp. regarding the percentages), but still I think you always learn a lot, either about your heritage, and if the test’s more detailed than even about other stuff affected by dna. (I’m just not sure if I want to learn about diseases and/or “gene defects” that either I might be more susceptible to or that I might carry in my genes. 😳 I know it can sometimes be helpful to know, but rather be scary and make you worry more. But other than that, there’s a lot of stuff one can learn about themselves and find explanations for things they noticed but didn’t know the reasons for (in your case, the chewing thing and the cilantro-tastes-like-soap-thing and the holding-on-to-stuff-thing (which I might have as well 😜)).
+ your grandma’s lesson is so beautiful and important, to always keep in mind. 😍
That's amazing. You are gorgeous!
Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video !
Your DNA should be labelled as AMAZING :D
Haha thank you!
Cool results, I wasn't that surprised with your results. It makes sense looking at south america historically.
You're _almost_ from everywhere, people always forget Oceania );
Haha yes I was just excited in the video. My grandma pointed out that I am indeed not from Australia (or Antarctica, a joke) haha. We most definitely did not forget about the oceanic region (: thanks for your comment!
@@emilyballenger7483 1492.
Grandma is beautiful!
Thank you so much!!
I really envy your huge variety of origins.
Colombia 🇨🇴, you’re grand ma is so beautiful
I will tell her you said that, thank you!
Not everyone has African in them. You can take the test and be 100% European.
when did she say that?!? she does because of history and the slave trade
I agree! My friend has taken this test and she only got about 0.2% African DNA. I think it’s so fascinating.
@@reisanderson9069 I made a comment in my description box that not everyone will have a lot of African in them if their ancestors predominantly come from Northern Europe or let’s say Eastern Asia. The full-blooded people. I am definitely a mutt haha
@big tornadoes She says thank you!! I think she was the star of the video (:
DNA tests only go back about 8 generations. Before that you can be from anywhere and it wont show up in your DNA.
So your father is from Puerto Rico, your mother's mother is from Colombian with Spanish heritage. What about your mother's father, your maternal grandpa?
My results are very similar to yours and I am 3/4 Puerto Rican and 1/4 Colombian.
I live in PR and have visited Colombia a couple of times, and I would say you look more for PR than from Colombia.
Love the vid and granma, she reminds me of mine.
Probably white American grandfather from all the Northern European I’m guessing.
East Asian & Indigenous American is something that many South American get. It does not necessarily mean the genes come from Asia but the ancestors of the South American ancestors share these genes with a common ancestor of the Asian.
Native Americans are Asian. Even part of Siberia is technically apart of the North American continent.
No it isn't at all also if they came from siberian that's supposedly thousands of years ago they have nothing to do with each other these days
@@steveboy7302 In genetic studies, yes, they are related. That's why they appear together there.
Amazing!, similar results like mine 80%Euro 11%America 9%Africa and both my parents from Puerto Rico . Cool results thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your comment! We do have similar results!
Northwest Europe doesn't include Norway (that's part of Scandinavia) 😉
Both of you are so great.
Your grandma is the coolest lady ever.
Grandma is very very smart! She is absolutely right when she talked about the Jews in Spain. So glad she acknowledged that❤
Your grandmother is ❤🎉
Such beautiful and blessed mother and daughter, i wish i am this close with my mom. Love from malaysia
Very entertaining. See the mix makes beautiful.
Thank you! My grandma and I always make each other laugh. It was entertaining for us to make the video 😂
Your guys energy is magnetic
what was your maternal haplogroup was it European or native american?
My maternal haplogroup showed lots of traces found in Northern Europe. My father has taken the same DNA test years before and he had about 16% African, 70% Spanish, etc. I definitely inherited a lot of the southern parts from him.
@@emilyballenger7483 Haplogroup, like were you mtdna H, L1 etc etc
@@SimpleMinded221 mine is A2 !
Wow! Nice DNA Results, Very diverse! I'm from Egypt.
A lovely video!
You should find traces of taino Indian because your fathers grandma on his dads side..
No cultural appropriation here 😂😂 I’m really curious to do a DNA test myself too my moms from Iraq and my dads from El Salvador they immigrated to Canada and I was born here. So I’d imagine mine is also pretty diverse 😊
Is your grandma ethnically a Spaniard even though she’s from Columbia? Also, which Caribbean nation is your dad from?
Her Dad is from Puerto Rico.
I really like your Grandma.
I really like her too
Not everyone gets diverse results just a warning to people that think they will. It depends on your background. Many people just have ancestry from one country.
Mine were less diverse than I expected. I had more than one country but all one region.
@@Catlily5What region was that?
@@Ash_Queen16 Northern Europe.
@@Catlily5 Oh I see
@@Ash_Queen16 I wished for more regions but you don't always get what you want.
welcome my african sis.❤
Y'all got a good 💚best part✌️n blessings come to
u inviteted 2 barbbq n Africa hello
I’m so jealous, I only have 5 countries on mine, and they’re all in North Eastern Europe. My ancestors were NOT adventurous, and clearly liked the cold. The warmest country on my list is Wales 😂
Your grandma is such a lovely person
First thing, Hi Grand ma😉 her grandmother seen to be a good person😁
I watch a video of an person from Ireland, their results was 99% Irish and 1% African, they was like How? someone then said maybe from the roman days.
she said "Why am I so Pale!" 😂🤣😂 I wonder how good do she tan? I bet she can tan pretty good.😏
Im very surprised the grandma is whiter than her
Amazing. Your grandma is really wise.
The asian percentage is related to the native american
amazing I'm getting mine back tomorrow I think I'm gonna be like you from everywhere.
Damn girl, you really from everywhere😂
I know 😂😭 I really didn't expect that much for my results.
I love her grandma!
8:00 for your viewing pleasure.....Mima explains the beauty of earth and its inhabitants and how we are all basically one and the same.
Really lovely mix
Cool results!
Hello, I took the DNA test and it came back. I'm from South America.
85%native American
10%south america
5% Canada and Russia now I am American🇺🇸😊
Wow! Great results! I have a question. Your results show at the bottom "Trace Ancestry" but you didn't see it I suppose to read it. Can you tell us what is says...? Thank you
These fractions will change over time when more and more data becomes available because more people around the world take these tests. Grandmother's thought, that your 0.1% (is that relevant to who you are? We don't know what traits it pertains to.) Ashkenazi Jewish fraction is because of your Iberian ancestry is very likely wrong. The Jewish diaspora in Europe splits into Ashkenazi versus Sephardic and the latter are the majority in the Iberian region. Ashkenazi generally references Eastern European and probably Northwestern European descent. So the Ashkenazi fraction is likely brought on by the Northwestern European ancestry from relations in Eastern Europe or relations with Jewish people in the Northwestern European diaspora. Jewish families could have family relations, often following from trade, across Europe, though. Also there have been several migrations of Jews between regions in Europe each time when Jewishness became forbidden in one region and another remained tolerant. In the Jewish (a religion, not an ethnicity in a narrow sense) culture, people qualify as Jewish when their mother is Jewish. This helped prevent inbreeding. Anyhow, it is possible to have Ashkenazi genes (mutations that characterise this descent) from an Iberian ancestor but it is unlikely.
The 3.4% "Campania" labelled as "Italian" in the report is a bit of a red flag. Italy as a nation state is a relatively recent phenomenon. Before the Italian unification, there was a patchwork of territories related to "noble" families and the Naples/Campania region was ruled by the Spanish court for a long time. But before that, way back, Naples was founded by Greek settlers who called it "Nea Polis" (new city). And so, in theory, all Southern European and/or Mediterranean ancestry could have originated from that Campania region, not likely but possible.
As to the "French & German" you have to know that the name of France actually references a Germanic tribe called the "Franks". These had a Germanic culture, but over the ages slowly adopted the local Romance language. Genetically, the North of France is hard to distinguish from Germany, or the Netherlands, or Belgium - hence "broadly Northwestern European". So you might have na ancestor in the Netherlands who in turn had Spanish and Jewish ancestry.
If grandmother is from father's side, then you have one of her X chromosomes (more or less identical - I assume between dad's X chromosome and Y chromosome there's little crossing over during his meiosis generation of the sperm that got into you). If grandmother is from mother's side, then you have one of mother's X chromosomes and not necessarily grandmother's, albeit that in the latter case, the X chromosome can contain some of grandmother's X chromosome genes because of meiosis in your mother. From your maternal grandmother you would have mitochondrial ~DNA though, probably an exact copy.
Your North African genes may have been inherited through Iberian (Spain & Portugal) ancestors - and potentially there are Sephardic Jews there.
People forget that Northern Africa and Southern Europe were part of the Roman Empire. Gothic Tribes were all over those areas as well. It's cool you're Basque. I used to go to Basque Festivals when I was a child.👍🏻
I don't think I'm Basque, but my Grandma's DNA shows that she is. That's so interesting that you went to festivals! Sounds like fun (:
"People forget" yeah no nigga. People like you are always saying that it's gotten annoying actually
Such a lovely Grandma, Abuelita
You are so blessed!
los judios no solo estuviero en españa, estuvieron en toda europa.
This is very common in Colombia! We are very mixed. I took the AncestryDNA test (I'm Colombian), and I am 37% indigenous American, 40% Iberian (Spanish/Portugues), 15% Irish/Scottish/British, and 5% North African (Algeria, Libya, etc)
I have light brown hair and Blue eyes . Fare skin ( white ) but tan in the summer my mother is white and my father is Mexican. But looking at me I don’t look like my mother or father . Both has brown hair and brown eyes . Even my brother looks like them. But that gene from my Mexican grandfather who had green eyes and my grandmother on my moms side had blue eyes . So we know where I got it from .
So your grandmother isn't Spanish? Were is she from?
Colombia
Interesting results 😂
Btw im supremgy, im not sure if you remember me 😂
Oh my gosh yes I know you 😂😂 thanks for coming to my TH-cam channel!!
the indigenous part came from your grandmother, the spanish and portuguese as well, probable the north africa. Many people from libano, marruecos etc were in contact with the Iberic peninsula, so probable this heritage from your grand mother as well.
Wow. You make up the world 🌎
Light hair and skin are recessive genes and two recessive genes can meet up even when the parents present more dominant traits...coming from a fellow pale blonde 🙂
I think that she dyes her hair blond. Maybe Mima too.
@@mrbaab5932 When I was born I had red hair! A shock to my mom haha. I grew up as a child with light strawberry blonde hair. But now that I’m older, my hair has darkened to a dark blonde. I do dye it to keep it lighter, but I might just embrace my new natural color.
My results are similar to yours. My mom is just white and my dad is Hispanic. As many of us know, Hispanic is not a race. A lot of Hispanics (NOT ALL) are European (Spanish) and Indigenous American. I knew I was gonna get mostly European and a chunk of Indigenous in my results, but I was surprised to get only 20% Spanish/Portuguese. I thought I was gonna get at least 30%.
1492.
Americans think that Spanish 🇪🇦🇪🇺came from Mexico 🇲🇽 not Europe.
yeah, even though obviously the iberian ancestry is huge in latin america, people forget that it also received huge innmigrant waves from all parts of europe and north africa/middle east, even from Japan and China in the case of Perú and Brazil. America is definitely the most ethnically diverse continent there is.
Hispanic is an ethnicity from people with Spanish ancestry or a cultural. Hispanic doesn't mean Spanish mix native.
@@liliacreativity1751 I know what Hispanic means. I'm just saying that A LOT of Hispanics are mixed. Not all.
Have to admit this vid was pretty funny 🤣
My Grandma makes for some entertaining conversations. Put us both in a room together and we are bound to laugh at something. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
oh wow those are so mad results, mine seem so boring next to this ahhaah
Fun video grandma was fun 😁
Your fathers mother family immigrated from northern Spain to Puerto Rico
Wow thank you! This makes a lot more sense when I look back on my DNA results!!
Spain, Portugal, Italy, Mediterranean Areas, North and west Africa, Africa used to be connected due to proximities, trades and rules.
emily the people in spain are from irish caucasion puerto rico has alot of african dna
I took a My Heritage DNA test and I got English 53% Azores Islands Portugal 26.4 % Irish Scottish Welsh 8.9 % Scandinavian 7.6 % East European 4.1 %
So Grandma you been putting soap in my foods 😜
Quite literally, yes.
thats why you and your grandma are very beautiful
