- This was so so interesting for us! Ever since Chris and I met, he has been curious about his DNA and Ancestry, so I got him a 23andme ancestry and health kit for Christmas! No one in his family has done a DNA test before, so it is very interesting to see his results, especially since Dominicans often have a mixed background. We each guessed what we thought may come up, but there were definitely some surprises. The test also gave heath and trait results, which we cover in part 2 (coming soon!) Check it out and comment below your own ancestry/DNA results if you know them!

If this is the first video of mine you're watching: Hi! My name is Mills and I moved from New York to the Dominican Republic alone in July 2017! I lived in Jarabacoa for a year to teach abroad, and then spent another year in Santiago de los Caballeros. I started this channel to document my experiences living abroad and as an American, female expat overseas, and would love for you to subscribe to follow my journey! My now husband, Christopher and I have just moved to Arizona after completing our K-1 visa journey, and are looking forward to this new adventure, and sharing it with you along the way!
#dominicanculture #DNAresults #dominicanrepublic
Thanks for watching! We had so much fun learning more about Chris' ancestry results! Mine results, as well as both of our traits will be in the next video.
My fam is from Santiago 🇩🇴 I did the DNA test with the same company and got 57.7% European 30.1% African 6.1% Native American 4.1% Middle Eastern & North African and the rest unassigned. Dominicans are a mix of the samething but we all have different percentages. Some lean to the European side, some lean to the African side, & some are mixed.
@Jason Young not, the iberian dna, is just iberian, if you have Arabian or Bereber Dna, the test shows you that, you have to research who were the iberians. ....
@Jason Young not, I'm going to tell you again, the iberian dna is just dna unique from Peninsula Iberica, pure dna. You have to see dna test of spanish people, some of them show dna from North of Africa or dna from Arabia,( a minimum, between 1 and 4%)but the iberian dna is unique, it doesn't have any mixture. The iberos was a original tribe of Peninsula, and the Spanish people mostly have this dna. You have a great confusion, bro. And if you research well, you can find that the mostly population in the Califato are iberian people, they just changed the religion. Do you know Abderraman III???? , he had red hair......
@Jason Young you are so wrong, bro, why when are the Spanish people showing their dna test, just a few people have North African and Arabian dna, and everyone has so much iberian dna????? You have opening a book, I recommend you that.....
@Jason Young that article doesn't deny anything of what I said, one thing is ibearia dna and another thing is north African dna.... And also, that study took people from 3 countrys not just Spain, because its not the same the Spanish dna than Greek dna.... I can show you a lot of studies about iberian dna( in Spanish, I think you can't understand it), which show us that there is some North African dna in the Spanish people, its true, but the the% is low between 4 and 9, and as you go up north the% decrease a lot

I Enjoyed your video I subscribe 😊 Here's my results 🇩🇴 Dominican-American
43.1% Sub-Saharan African,
31.8% European
19.5% East Asian & Native American
Santiago Province, Dominican Republic +10 Regions,
0.4% Western Asian and North African
Unassigned 5.2%
CédtaviousHernandezVEVO yo you triracial
kind of similar, very interesting!
That 5.2% unassigned is Alien joking lol
Very interesting.
🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
After years of research on DNA test results videos, I have studied how some people hate with passion, Dominican DNA test results videos. My findings guided me to discover a new Psychological disease, which I named: DNA ENVY SYNDROME.
Huh?! Hahaha
@@dianajanna7228 he’s right on point it’s dna envy syndrome.
Wtf? Where
@@Xenlacasa45 yes a 100% i am tired of people they have to leave us alone. I don’t want to be claim by no one
😅😂😂😂😂
That's not too far from the average dominican. Dominicans are on average 52% European, 40% African, and 8% Native American.
I would switch the European and African around
I turned out 70.4 European 14% native with remaining 11.3 sub Saharan 3% North African. My ancestry timeline had my admixtures 6-8 generations ago with dominant Spanish ancestry at 2-4 generations ago. Definitely something fun and interesting.
I have 86% european and I'm 100% Dominican 🇩🇴
@@sthefaniabonelli799 what's the other 14%?
I’m dominican and I am:
42,2%West African
2,5% Middle eastern
35% European
17,5% Native American
Nice Results! I'm Dominican and did both Ancestry and 23 and Me.
Ancestry had me at:
52% S.S. African
2% North African
38% European
8% Native American
23 and Me:
50.7% S.S. African
32.9% European
3.6% North African/ W. Asia
6.6% Native American
🇩🇴🇩🇴
Not a huge difference between the two but it’s still interesting how they differ! mine are so damn boring 😂
@@MillsRepDom lol.. interesting tho, the new Ancestry update really broke the native American down...I figured it would be just native DR/Haiti, but I had that, as well as Indigenous Venezuela, Central America, and Yucatan Peninsula
VivaBella by Xtina oooh that is really interesting!! Maybe we’ll do that one later on.
@@K1ngKrunch True, I knew about them coming from South America but was surpised to see the Central American and Mexico
@@VivaBellabyXtina
Since you've done both I'd like to ask if can give a general breakdown of what they cost.
And, which one did you find more to your liking?
Before the results were given, I anticipated that the sub-Saharan is much higher than you mentioned... close to or under the 50% range and the Taino is probably around 10 percent and I was very close.
Closer than us!!
I calculated the same as you.
Mills, you should log in to your Ancestry account if you haven't done so in the last few months. They updated their database and their results are more specific.
Im going to do that right now! Thank you
I did it too and I got disappointed I didn't have much Taino on me. These were my results overall:
70% European (wtf? 54% Portuguese & Spain? Russian?? Irish?? Jewish??? O.o)
20% African (Mali, Bantu ppl, Senegal, Nigeria)
8% North American (only 3% Dominican :(
2% Middle East (Saudi Arabia?????)
All over the place! If they ask me I will say I'm from Earth. Period.
Haha, you ended up more confused than before. I always respond the same when somebody asks my ethnicity. I am from the whole world.
I’ve never taken it but I’m going to guess I’m 62% European (mostly Spanish/Portugal), 23% sub-Saharan African (mostly Senegal), and probably 12% native with like 3% unassigned or something. I’d love to take one and compare my results to my guesses!
Looks like he is more African than he expected...Not surprised since the African bloodline is very strong in DR 🇩🇴 I'm pretty sure if more Dominicans took the test, they would be surprised to find out how much African blood they posess. Taino would not show up much since Christopher Columbus pretty much decimated the Tainos population and had to import Africans to replace them, therefore giving a much larger African bloodline to the present day Dominicans. Good Video and thanks for sharing🙏🌲 Happy Holidays.
Definitely more than I thought he would be honestly! he knew he would be a significant portion but not the majority. I think the Native American would be Taino correct? You’re right he did pretty much cancel them out sadly. Thank you for watching!
@@MillsRepDom The native American could be a mix of Taino and other Indians. The test would have to show geographically where the Indians were concentrated👍
A lot of dominicans dont include african ancestry at all it is European that they Were taught to be Europe included
Oh noooo lol please don’t let them come on here.
Oh that makes sense! I think it’s interesting that they traced him all the way to santiago specifically.
Mine looks almost identical to his for the sub Saharan African breakdown of the dna results! It’s so cool to learn about this! ❤
For everyone getting "Portuguese" in the tests (not this one, though), that's just western Spanish (unless you are from Brasil). They are genetically the same, as they are all Westnorthern Spaniards who populated western Spain and the whole of Portugal. It's funny, because all these people come from Northwestern Spain, yet, because Portuguese are all descendants from these people, it gets called "portuguese", but guys, The western part of the Iberian Peninsula is genetically the same. They should have never divide the Iberian Peninsula in Spain and Portugal, for the people are the same and it gets western Spaniards as if they were Portuguese, when actually, Portuguese are the ones who "are" "northwestern Spaniards".
By the 1600’s around 10% of the population in today’s Dominican Republic were people of Portuguese origin. Actually the first european immigrant in Manhattan NY, was a Dominican born man of Portuguese father and African mother (Joao Rodrigues). He got the record to be the first immigrant of european, african, latino and dominican descent in Manhattan. A dutch merchant ship dropped him off there.
Santo Domingo received a lot of converso immigrants from Spain and Portugal. The Conversos or New Christians were Sephardic Jews forced to convert to Christianity or flee Spain under the Alhambra Decree. Many went to Portugal but eventually they were treated the same as in Spain. It makes sense then that they would want to go as far as they can from the Inquisition. I’m not saying that all the Portuguese settlers were Jews but it’s documented that Jews were called “Los Portugueses” at times as a way to set them apart them from the majority Catholic and Spanish speaking populace.
The "unassigned" in 23&me is more native american ancestry for him. I know this cause I did both Ancestry & 23&me. In Ancestry my native% is higher and its all accounted for but for 23&me it's hidden under the "unnassigned"
Very interesting results. I've figured he was 25% African but I was wrong....like always. I am 59% African, 35% European and 6% Native American. Feel free to watch my updated DNA results vid if you'd like. ✌ ✌
I have done both ancestry and 23 and me..........Mine also placed me in Santiago Zone. I am over all 69.2 European 46.3 Spanish/Portuguese
I think it’s so cool it can place all the way down to the city. Did you get African as well?
@@MillsRepDom west african 2.4%
Rafael Grullon what about taino?
@@ce7133 0.08%
@@grullord thats so low
My results were very similar to yours I found out I have a distant Mexican and Louisiana creole background
Oooh very cool!!
I'm of Louisiana Creole and Mexican background too.
How you know you had Louisiana creole background
I have to do mine. I am already aware (mom’s side) that I have two great great grandfathers who were born in Spain in the 1870s and migrated to DR as young adults. We have their birth certificates still.
You wont be able to commit any crimes if you do it. Not only you, but also you family member, cousins etc.
Batman B Whoever commits a crime deserves to get caught
Mills since your husband is close to half black he should do the African ancestry which can go all the way down to tribe, study Ghana and Nigerian
That would be super interesting, he said he would love to learn that!
LOL
Imma do the test too....maybe it'll turn out that i am your SISTER IN LAW!!!!!!
Well at least i will be Chris' 3rd cousin 400 times removed!
I REALLY gotta stop!
😂😂😂
Some people need to understand how DNA works, we get 50% from each parent, so results are not what your family is entirely. Besides that, if both of your parents where common heritage than their children can have more or less from a particular ethnicity.
Thanks for sharing! When I saw him at first glance, I thought, if Obama and Meghan Markle had a baby.
Hahahaha! That is quite the compliment
Shhhhhh! They haven't told him yet!
racially I could see similarity to him I'm 53% ssa and my euro is french and iberian so to me I figured he was around 35-60% ssa. And you are like 20% ssa your hair shows you're about 1/4 or 1/5
My grandmother is from the deep mountains of Santiago and she had reddish toned tanned skin and straight black hair. I always wanted to take her dna, but never got the motivation to do it. 😢
I got Lebanese, Palestinian , Italian, Swiss-German, normal German, Hungarian, Austrian, English, Swedish, French , Norwegian Scottish, Irish and Spanish on my DNA test.
If you check your ancestry results again, you will see they have broken down the results. They continuously update the results as more people send their DNA.😊
Just a question. We all know that Hispanic countries are heavily mixed . But Dominican particularly even the darkest ones swear to not have any African ancestry. Some even attributed their darker skin and their women curves to Taino ancestry they may have . But these results just show otherwise. Among all Hispanic countries Mexico, Venezuela, Puerto, Cuba ... Dominican seems to have the highest African ancestry. Maybe this denial among Dominican has to do with the beef with Haitian. So Dominican choose to distance themselves from any African ancestry in order to not be mistaken for Haitian
@DESTROY WHITE SUPREMACY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY Liar!
DR, Belize, Panama, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Colombia, Honduras, and Venezuela have the highest concentrations of African descendants.
Dominicans seem to have the highest African ancestry in Latin America is because DR is the only Hispanics country that share a island with a pure black nation, 3 million Haitians in DR claiming themselves as Dominicans.
Obsessed
I bought and got my kit back in November. I procrastinated on it for a whole month. Today I finally decided to sample and send it back. I would've had my results by now lol. I'm Dominican too btw.
Will you make a video?
@@JM-bo2ww I've been thinking about it, but probably not cause I'm kinda introverted.
so is chris! actually i am too lol, id be interested to know your results!
@@MillsRepDomu said u hope they rank that down better silly racist. Bitctcth
Black people who want Dominicans to say they're only black love these videos lol
Well he’s not only black he said everything that came back.
Black people? I'm Black West African and believe me it is not us Africans who bully Dominicans to say they are black. Be more specific, its Black Americans who want Dominicans to be black so bad.
@@Itsclaireasday nobody "wants" anybody to be Black. But this internalized racism and self hate that African and African descended people have is too much. Black Americans simply want people to acknowledge their African heritage. Not claim they're "only black". You're African, so the fact you're against our point of view is kind of weird.
Ummi B . I’m Dominican and I agree with you 100% it only black Americans and some Haitians!!.
@La Vida Loco "desperately"? It's just funny that Dominicans would rather shame an entire ethnicity and make lame generalizations than to claim their slave ancestry lol
My family is from santiago so I guess it will be similar to chris
I’m from Santiago and mine is 73% European, 15% African & 12% Native American.
The majority of mine was British & Irish and Filipino & Chinese. (I’m about a quarter Asian from my dad’s side)
And a bunch of small percentages of random ethnicities.
Amber what an awesome mix! I’m sure you are gorgeous!
When your too lazy and broke so u just watch videos of what you could potentially be 😩😩😩
Lmao!! They’re doing a Father’s Day sale!
Thanks! I missed the sale 😩 hopefully I can catch it next time.
@@wirelesschick123 there is still a $49 sale for a myheritage kit.
Ancestry is more accurate now especially with people with Native American and Latin Americans.
I also have ancestry from Santiago DR! We are distant cousins! Cool Results 👍
He got all the races LOL Jewish showed up in my results too. Im 100% Dominican with Haitian Grandma, so I got the French and Iberian mixes... with West African... I dont know whats going on. I was like huh???? LOLOL
I did Ancestry. I almost have 43% African and non are the region he has which is weird.
Also trace is Santiago and northern coast of DR.
Most Dominicans DNA test i seen have high % Togo and Benin he doesn't have any. Thats weird.
Ooh that is weird. Where did you get for Africa? DNA is so interesting
John lamb cause you did ancestry dna, 23andme gives different African regions than ancestry dna
When he said 18% Native American I was like, in your dreams!!!
The highest Taino blood is in Puerto Rico. No one in the Caribbean is more Taino than us.
okay
@@MillsRepDom You ain’t got no Native American blood either. You don’t even have any attachment to the land you call home. 😇
cry about it
@@isisroset2787 cry about what? He’s only 7% Taino.
@@MillsRepDom I know you’re supporting him. In the Latin American community dominicans are known to be allergic to work. 🤣🤣
I think the whole part about being from Santiago could be bogus because i have yet to meet any Dominican where it doesn't say Santiago.
Maybe 23 and me doesn't have enough samples yet of people outside of Santiago.
Every single one that I’ve seen all say from Santiago and I’m kinda calling BS, and ik the DNA of different regions vary as well but I always thought and was told people from the cibao tend to look and score much higher European since most Canarians(Spain) mass immigrated to that region as compared to other regions or am I wrong? While Dominicans from say the semana province score much more African
@@nicholasnunez6751 what people do not realize is that mass migrations of Portuguese immigrated to the canary islands during the era where both Iberian nations battled for the archipelago.Spain eventually won out but many of the Portuguese that were living there became hispanized. (if that’s the right spelling) It would be no surprise during the Canarian migration to the Caribbean a great portion of those Spanish speaking people were ethnically Portuguese.
yeah my results are exactly the same wow. I'm 53% ssa 39.8% european 7% native american
Cris is the tipic dominican biracial, He seems more Arab than white or black, he is a predominance of the white race.
He’s more african then but also significant amount european just not more then african and definitely not arab.
Great results for Chris…
A lot of dominicans don't and won't associate themselves of african descent
how many Dominicans you know and actually talk about this with?
I know some don’t make the connection, but most i know are well aware and do claim their African roots.
We love our Dominican mixture in the DR and very proud...
todd jones Our business if we don’t correct ?? Plus you are wrong don’t judge..
I mean this in the most sincere and non judging way: even the "black" or "dark skinned" dominicans refuse to accept their african-ness.
You have no idead how many times i try to reason with dominicans who hate on haitians and LITERALLY tell them that we are just as black as the haitians....since pretty much ALL BLACK PEOPLE were brought here from Africa.
I am as light skinned as Chris, but my entire father's side is dark....i bet if i take that test it'll automatically include a "black card" entitling me to say the n word amd get me my 40 acres and a mule.....i would have to drink from the "other" water bubbler....
LOL. im so stupid 😜😜😜😜😜

he looks half and half black and white to me less native than you. You're more euro and native imo
He does! I guess he kind of is technically! I’ll tell him though because he says I’m so white 😂
I always find it interesting the reaction from those in the Latinx community when they find out they are part Sub-Saharan African, particularly Dominicans. The only question is, does it change how they look at themselves and those who identify with their African ancestry i. e. Haitians.
Obsessed
@@Freddy-yb4jk I see Cognitive Dissonance is alive and well in the Dominican republic. I know you have to look up Cognitive Dissonance
no, bc it means nothing to us. we only claim on identify and its being Dominican
@@JE-im4im That's not true. Race means a lot in the Dominican Republic just like it does everywhere else in the Western Hemisphere. This is why so many Dominicans try to minimize or deny their African ancestry.

guillermone1 hes mostly black. 43% 39% European
@@guillermone1
You CLEARLY DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE VIDEO. They clearly said AND SHOWED (and as ADDED BONUS Mills just replied to you) that the results state he is over 43% AFRICAN.
NOW.....i am obviously gonna have to explain the JOKE I JUST MADE: you see, in the good OLE U.S. of A. there is a belief that more black people get pulled over while drivin, which is of course racially profiling..... Now HERE'S THE JOKE THAT WENT ENTIRELY OVER YOUR HEAD: i was sarvastically joking that now he has to be careful to not get pulled over "while being black"....and here's the KICKER: he's very light skinned.
So im sorry you don't understand humor and that you don't know the history of black people being racially profiled since god knows when in 'Murica.
So kindly stop trying to find the 5th leg of the cat....
Hes considered white in dr 😭
In the southern regions but not Cibao. There he would be average looking
How? This doesn't look like a white person in any way, shape, or form.
No he’s not lol
I am Dominican and this is the more moronic comment I've read here so far. How can this guy be considered "white". Where are you from? 'cause you can't be Dominican.
He’s not considered white in the DR
Crushed his poor little heart with all that African blood 😂😂😂😂 wake up Dominicans. You're of African descent
Manuel Robles haha he’s actually really excited about that. Most Dominicans I know are fully aware they are African. Chris loves it though
We are proud of our "big platanos" if you know what i mean. But DR is a melting pot as the rest of LatinAmerica. Almost no one is 100% or even 90% something there. I'm half Puerto Rican and Dominican, my DNA came out as follow: 72% European, 15% African, 13% Taino. I watched others Dominican DNA test and results are so diverse, higher european or higher African. Dominican Republic is the land where all this crazy shit happened for the first recorded time, thanks to the moronic Spanish Empire "Conquistadores" and the rest of the greedy European countries. But at the end of the day we shared their blood, so.
Leo Leon Trust me he is. He doesn’t really like filming and gets really shy but he’s been talking about it since and he is happy about it..he would probably be happy with anything though it’s just interesting the mix.
@Leo Leon I think you're confused with the term Latin America my friend. The term Latin America refers to countries culturally and etnographically connected with latin countries (Spain, Portugal) and some historian included France eventhough there's a huge difference between them but that's debatable. In the other hand theres other words as: "Hispanic America"= Those countries connected culturally with Spain (that exclude Brazil automatically). So the term Latin America specifically refers to countries of "Romance language" (Spanish, Portuguese, French, as derived of latin, Roman Empire language). If you want to pin point an area, the correct terms are: North America, Central America, The Caribbean or South America, or as a whole: "America" continent, to be specific and depending of what country you refer to.
@Leo Leon I find it interesting that there are groups or communities with that way of thinking, but all that only creates a great debate that only leads to misinformation and the creation of false notions of reality. I explain myself: The term Latin America, from a technical point of view, makes sense. The countries that are part of the region have a connected colonial past, whether they want it to or not to the Spanish, Portuguese and French empires. The influences on language, architecture and cultural heritage are unquestionable. And if we add all that to the ethnic diversity that exists in each and every one of the countries, where the european footprint in the DNA cannot be denied, it makes the use of the term Latin American countries a well conceptualized word with examples that science, History and reality give us for granted.
Ooooohhhh nvm
Wow Jewish didn’t expect it
Right! He’s a wholeeee mix haha
DR was one of the few countries to accept jewish refuges during ww2. But with that low percentage its probably coming from his European side
Batman B thats a good point!
Batman B -I doubt it. If he has Jewish roots it’s probably from another generation otherwise he would have already been aware.
There was a migration of Jews that arrived to the DR from Curazao during the 1800’s. That is in my opinion the most logical explanation perhaps that’s where it came from.
However It was relatively not long ago during WWll when a group of Jews arrived to the DR specifically to Sosua. They came mostly from Germany and Austria. However the Askenazi Jew kinda throws off my theory because the previous Jewish migrants that came before that were Sephardic or Jews from the Mediterranean region which means that his Ashkenazi roots which originated in central and Eastern Europe is still a mystery.
How did he end up with that genetic ancestry is puzzling but would most certainly be interesting to find out.
@@guillermone1 Surprising it's very common to have Jewish ancestry in the Caribbean. My father told me that we had Jewish ancestry, which I never believed until I got my DNA results. Jews have been coming to the Caribbean for many reasons for a long time. Mine goes back to the 18th century. They came as traders, pirates, immigrants. The Caribbean has always been a very cosmopolitan region.
Congratulations Chris! You can officialy say the N word 🤣🤣🤣
