My 92 year old Scottish grandmother who moved to the US from the Scottish Highlands when I was a child took one and it came back 84% Scottish which was lower than we thought but fine, 7% Irish which was fine, 3% Welsh and that was fine, but when she saw 6% English it destroyed her 😂😂
That’s too funny! My Irish nana and grandma would have been the same
My grandparents moved from Ireland apparently I was only 80% Irish & British (23 & Me doesn't specify). Rest was German. XD
LMFAO
What DNA test did you use?
@Eric No name probably your ancestors where taken in as servant from the Scottish highlands and when they moved to America they intermingled with German,Slavic and Latino people
So many people with a small percentage of Jew.
Amazonian, the most interesting one ive seen so far.
They caught the company adding 1% Jewish to most results. The company is based in Israel.
Maybe she has a ancestor from Guyana (country north to Brasil), there're a lot of indians there and it's a english colony too.
John 14:6 KJV It is an ethnicity
John 14:6 KJV That’s what I meant. I thought Jewish referred to the different groups of that area, like Ashkenazi, Sephardic, etc. and Judaism referred to the religion

That's the worst part.
Irish people should know how it feels like to be a small republic next to a much larger Kingdom who owns the rightfully northern part of your country.
They know our pain.
@@FaithfulOfBrigantia Asking them to be smart and compassionate is akin to asking a man with no legs to get up and walk.
I'm generalising and being outrageous for comedy's sake but there is a common narrative here in which, the Irish are the victims and the English the oppressors. Even when the Scottish, Nordic, French and Germanic tribes are responsible for incursions into Ireland.
There's a good reason for the joke: "An Englishman, a Scottsman and an Irishman..."
In which the Irishman is always the butt of the joke and considered foolish.
‘Sobs in Basque’ 😭
jjgnbf Lo sé. Pero mucha gente piensa que solo España es ibérica y se olvidan de los vascos. :(
It's so funny to me that being Irish is "boring" and being Jewish is "exotic", when to me it is the opposite. There's a moral to that but I'm too lazy to think what it is.
Almog Levin the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. then you jump the fence and find out it's the same grass and it's illegal to smoke any of it.
Jane Renee "and it's illegal to smoke any of it". *Brilliant*
Probably that's about it. :-)
+Almog Levin There's a saying, "Exotic is erotic". When all your possible reproductive partners look like your cousins (probably because, you know, they are) and someone with different colored hair or eyes or skin wanders by, it's natural to find that person "exotic" and therefore desireable in order to create genetic diversity. Genetic diversity (aka Hybrid Vigor) = stronger offspring.
And here was I thinking judaism is a religion not a race ...
I really want to do this but so many of the DNA tests are quite expensive, especially the ones that give you loads of info.
DrGrukar McNinjaSixthGun Search FamilyTreeDNA I think they have a sale at the moment. Their Familyfinder is similar to this and it's $69 I think
Now would probably be the time to do it. The most commons ones, Ancestry, 23 and Me, and My Heritage, are all having Father's day deals. The one they uses in this video is $69 right now and both Ancestry and 23 and Me are $79.
does the 23andMe test also include the health report?
Is $69 not expensive to you guys? That is a ton of money.
DrGrukar McNinjaSixthGun Ancestry DNA has sales, along with a few coupons
I did mine. Was pretty straight forward.
47% eastern european. 53% Irish.
No surprise, my dad's parents are Irish and my mom's parents are Polish and Belgian.
Conan O'Brien is more Irish than anyone here, lol, he's literally 100%.
O’ Gang, Ben O’Connor here, lool, I need a DNA test myself, probably 42% Irish, 32% British, 21% German or some shit, loool.
Craig Hamil no it’s certainly possible. I’ve seen 100% Irish on reputable DNA tests such as ancestry and 23andme
Most irish americans are more irish than irish . After all the british made the entire country flee to canada and eastern united states . Today ireland is mixed .
@@derikheinz9207 Actually Ireland has a very distinct group of DNA because they were so isolated. Celts inhabited Ireland and lived there for thousands of years. The the Romans took over England and Wales. Eventually the vikings came, but evidence has shown there was little to no effect on the Irish. Norman occupation of Dublin did not have much impact at all either. When the English took over Ireland, it was very rare for them to mix, and was illegal until the late 1800s, and even after that today this day there is still stigma between intermarriage. So actually Irish people tend to be vast majority Celtic DNA, and most commonly match with people of Wales, Scotland, and Basque(in Spain) which may be why that one girl was part Iberian.
@Bostonzo B True, some of my cousins on ancestry DNA are 100% Irish, 100% is real in Europe, the USA, unlikely since all the immigrants that came.
I’m 5 generations in to America. My DNA test said I’m 99 percent Irish from Mayo and Sligo. One percent American Indian. I think they just threw that last bit in.
Are you sure it didn't say 99% British and Irish, because some of the these tests group it together
@Clandestine Council They are quite similar though with some slight differences. There are more in depth analysis that have regions like lowland Scotland, NI Ireland and Scottish and English borderlands in one category for example
There's a lot of Anglo-Saxon and Celtic mix n whatnot. The more west you go (in the UK) the more Celtic blood
@@Dom-fx4kt west Scots and highlanders share dna with the Irish and the ant it Irish in Northern Ireland (Catholics). Northern English share dna with lowland Scots, and the lowland Scots in Northern Ireland
So you’re American, not Irish
Yup, I swabbed the inside of my cheek and sent it in. Turns out I'm 80.7% Reese's peanut butter cup

joe levi lmfao
it said don't eat or drink for 30 minutes you stupid
joe levi So the other 19.3% is from your Hershey ancestry?

It is barely known that there was a Spanish Sephardic Jewish community living in Ireland since the Spanish Inquisition. So I see no surprises here
Yeah, but if I don't remember incorrectly there is a label in these tests for SEPHARDIC Jewish.
Spanish inquisition didn't expel spanish Jewish community. It was a royal resolution in order to join the nation.
By the way british jewish expulsion was in year 1290, very before than spanish expulsion, with a main difference. Spanish let every jewish to reamain in spanish sole if they converted to catholics.
England, Italy (Naples), Hungary, Switzerland, Bavaria, Austria, ... didn't.
They were probably behind this vid. This looks like propaganda attacking the Irish native population. Pushing diversity & massive immigration from the 3rd world on the Emerald Isle. Open the borders more diversity for Israel.
Do you have any sources on this? It sounds interesting.

Of course he hasn't - because its not true.

Iberia was once a celtic Kingdom and still has Iberian Celt dna.
@evansdrad The celtic nationalist the celts were in the north of spain, concretely in actual Galicia, north of Portugal and Asturias. In the rest of the peninsule were the celt-iberian. In north of Spain and almost the whole of Spain we share the same dna with british and irish in a big porcentage, it was about the movements of the people of the north to the south after the Reconquista.
Jacobo Arca Abalo the British Irish Scottish Welsh Portugal Spain France, these all have Celtic blood.
Jesse Ball Portugal was the first and longest Kingdom in Iberia. Spain came after. And when the moors and ottomans conquered Spain they didn’t seize Portugal. They were fought off. Celtic and Iberian (Lusitanian) blood is rich in that country. And in Northern Portugal Celts still reside there.
@@fbnflaviusbroadcastingnetw6786 But they did seize Portugal, why make things up?
@@fbnflaviusbroadcastingnetw6786 go see the portuguese dna tests and you will see that all your fantasie its pure bullshit ! italians and portuguese are the most mix of all south europe countrys !

😁😁😂😂!!!
Lol
Hmmm something is wrong,gingers from irland and uk are resolt after and hot night with some lady from the islands and an viking
No she is chucky's bride.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking at least 10% Irish Rover.
The red haired Irish girl is in a global context the most exotic human there is, with barely 1% of the world's population with this genetic makeup.
Also, find Irish girls very sweet.
Yes gingers are a very rare breed and they're sadly going extinct :(
Bob Smith I'm guessing you don't actually know any irish women.
ciara murphy I took a trip around Ireland in 2012 and I think I fell in love several times : )
Vivacious, charming, funny and down to earth.
So yeah you don't know any Irish women. I traveled Iran but that doesn't mean I know any Iranians.
'Meeting' a few people from a country doesnt mean I 'know' people from that country.
A pale skinned Irish redhead is exotic.
😂
Agreed. A beauty!
Here in America, that's just rare enough to be considered exotic, and even then, it's not really exotic, but more to the point, ...
You've never been to Ireland have you, or realized that she is from Ireland, so no, a pale skinned Irish redhead is NOT exotic. It is so common there, it is basically considered the source of the world's redheads. lol
they don't understand whites are a world minority,if you got red hair its even more exotic.
No
The Iberian DNA is from Iberian Celts who were the first settlers who travelled up into the British Isles when it was uninhabited. That's from 6000 years ago. Amazing. That Italian/Middle eastern DNA is probably from Roman era in the Byzantine Empire. Fascinating :0
Was about to say the same along with that it is ancient "mythology" that the people originated from Eastern Europe and migrated across the seas through the islands to Iberia(Portugal/Spain) and then up to Ireland. My family also has small amounts of DNA from Eastern Europe, Sardinia, & Iberia but is mainly "Irish".
Also many Irish men were stationed in the Iberian penninsula during the Napoleonic wars and married local women who they often brought back to Ireland with them when their tours of duty were up. I suspect that the relatively large percentage is more likely from a more recent period than 6000 years ago.
The dominant Celts in Ireland came from the Basque country about the same time as Alexander the Great. It was already inhabited by races like the Tuatha Dé Danann, the Firbolg, Fomorians and Cruithne.
You got everything covered up!

John would pass undetected in Italy. He basically looks like a Berlusconi voter. That 10% really kicks ass over the rest 90%.
It's so cool that the girl whose parents were South Asian turned out to be part Irish, It's like she was destined to be Irish haha
Ella Rawson probably from a British soldier who partook of the local ladies during the colonial era
Irish or British, probably British due to colonialism.
Asus McTablet I think the European ancestry was probably all from the same great grandparent, seeing as she has 15% European ancestry in total
I wonder if I'm part English at all. My parents are both South Asian as well.
Tiffany Goulcester well if that's your name maybe some raj gorrah got involved but n your family. You should do it! Indian DNA is so interesting
Surprised they aren't Scandinavian, Vikings had a hell of a time in Ireland
To the young lady who said she doesn’t feel exotic, I’m a 38 year old American man who just found out I’m Irish and Scottish last week and I feel VERY exotic now. Lol
You’re not “Irish and Scottish” you’re just American

How sad that people don't know what Iberian peninsula is!!!
LOL
soilofk having Iberian blood>
I had honestly never heard the name Iberia until just like a few months ago when I started watching dna testing videos. Most people that I know just name the countries in that area. Its really not that uncommon.
jesus bloodline can be found in iberia
Is now Spain.
I'm from Norway and I'm 8% Irish! Must be from slaves the vikings brought back with them! Love it!
Probably so. Actually DNA testing has shown that the people of Iceland are 50% Norse Viking and 50% Celtic (wives and slaves).
I'm an American of Norwegian descent, and I came out as 8% Irish too. I guess the Vikings were capturing Irish slaves left and right
Kamihana and 100% hot!
you love the fact that irish were the first slaves to vikings? feck off, the celtics are a strong race of people and we will never forget what happened along the course of history.
Are you alright in the upstairs son? that's never a good thing, the fact that celtic citizens in history were arrested wrongfully by vikings and enslaved in parts to be taken as the first slaves at all doesn't bring positivity to the aspect of accepting you have 8% irish DNA, I have 101% Irish DNA and let me tell you the celtic eiran eaeiraians are a proud people, always and above all forever loyal people and all our ancestors at points addressed the oppression attempted by vikings, anglicans and asians by arming themselves and attempting to fight back to keep Ireland free and independent....
My dad took a test and was over 70% Irish. I was shocked he didn’t have hardly any English or German. A tiny bit of Scottish. The other was Scandinavian. Fascinating. His family tree came from early settlers from Ireland/Scotland and it shows. Family of Farmers. From Spartanburg South Carolina.
In grade school (in the USA), the teacher asked what nationality everyone was. Almost all the blacks said they were French! HA HA. YEAH Right!
@Alle Warten Auf Das Licht That doesn't make any sense and you obviously did not go to USA public schools. Blacks were ashamed to say they were just African HA HA.
I want to do one of these soooooooo bad but I am sooooooooo broke
Ashton Price Me too😕😔😔😔! The one I want to try is the NATGEO one.
it's not that bad. like 70 dollars for some very important information imo.
They are bullshit, don't waste your money. They look cool, but they aren't remotely accurate. The 1st guy did the another DNA test which said he was 93% Irish and 100% European, while this says he's only 75% Irish, so........
MichaelColeman7 Really? Oh wow! Thanks for sharing that :0. That makes me kinda hesitant now :/.
There's a Father's Day sale going on right now. You can take a DNA test for as little as $69.00. I recommend 23andme because that was the only test that picked up my Native American and North African DNA which AncestryDNA and FamilyTreeDNA did not.
I sincerely wish someone could convince a group of racists to take DNA tests and video them as they get the results...
poppysfit how are they racist??
I didn't say THEY are racist. I literally meant I wish someone could convince A GROUP OF RACISTS to take DNA tests.
Gotcha, my bad!
Look up Craig Cobb on Trisha
Thanks, will do
I took the test. I am American but I knew my ancestry was all irish. My test resulted in more irish than the people on this panel that took the test. I am 92 irish and the the rest Great British.

I took a dna test expecting to have mostly German and a found out I am 65% Irish, Scottish and Welsh. It was interesting! I started looking into my family history and found my irish connection came over to the U.S. around the end of the 1800's from a place called county kerry. I looked it up and it is gorgeous! I would love to visit someday.
Kerry is stunning. The accents are MAD though - I’m a Brit with an Irish Dad and still only catch about half the words
"Irish, Scottish, Welsh" just means Irish DNA (in those places). So, 65% Irish.
Kerry accent takes a lot of getting used to lol
2% other... obviously it's horse lol
Feeling bad for "not being exotic" is the problem there. No one should ever feel down about their genetic background. Stop taking seriously the words of others and be happy with who and what you are. Build the strength from within. o/ :)
for us, we think it is unique. Think about 40% of population are Indians and Chinese, 20 percent for each.
That was so interesting, I think it would become more clear to you if you test both of your parents.
after getting my tests results I was shocked and confused
This actually shows how many young Irish today have no idea about their heritage.
The Irish have ancestry from the Celtic-Iberians, Spanish Jews, and Middle Eastern. They also forget that Jews have been in Ireland for over 1000 years.
Spanish Jews would not show up as Ashkenazi on these tests, though. They are a separate lineage called the Shepardi.
@@willlubetkin3804 *Sephardi
BxxDxx Hoodoo not true Sephardic took a different route through Africa and show barely any Ashkenazi DNA
BxxDxx Hoodoo just like any family. Sephardic have a very diverse gene pool. For instance my brother in law is 74% Western Asian & North African The rest is a mixture of Arab, Levantine, Anatolian, Iranian, Caucasian, Mesopotamia Spanish, Portuguese and Italian with only 2.3% Ashkenazi Jewish
BxxDxx Hoodoo count for what?
As for the Amazonian, the British took a lot of people from India and Pakistan to South America and the Caribbean to work as indentured servants and to work on the plantations after slavery was abolished. Some of those people returned to where they were originally from. However, there are still large Indo-Caribbean cultures in Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname, Trinidad, etc. So that might explain where that comes from, especially if her parent are from Indian and Pakistan.
Interesting
'The British'. Who are they?
Or they source from what they get submitted and use that as location references. IE if someone with some Irish dna lives in South America and those sequences haven't shown up in Ireland but are present in South America they say its "South American DNA". I do believe they only pull from what they can correlate to an area so its not really THAT accurate.
The English, the Scottish and the Welsh. None of us are 'British'; 'Britain' is a geography, not an ethnicity.
And who the fuck are you?
My DNA test only verified what I already knew about my family, which is great. It also helped me locate my relatives from the illegitimate side of the family, who have no idea they are "the other woman's" descendants. True story.
I just took my own MyHeritage DNA Test and uploaded the video to my channel a few days ago :)
I totally take that DNA test,always wondered about my heritage 😊
Haunted he might be English 😂😂🤣😂 god forbid
lvl 4k I’m 50 percent irish and I’ve recently found out that I’m an eighth English-Scottish 😭.
I'm Irish and I have white skin, blue eyes and red hair, so I can imagine mine would come back mainly Irish, but it doesn't surprise me that they came back mixed since Ireland was invaded so many times. Sarina was so happy that she came back a little Irish, it's funny because she's as Irish as you can get
Nick d hahaha, apparently blue eyes and red hair is the rarest combination on the planet, there's hardly any of us haha. I think if I done that test it would probably come back that I'm from Mars or something haha
Nick d I also apparently have some redhead genes (got a little redheaded nephew) and some of my nieces and nephews have blue eyes. JUST SAYIN'.
Stephen W my friend on Twitter is a blue eyed red headed fella & according to him that combo is rare indeed

Draoi Uí-Loingsigh Come in fella you need to sense a joke. Of course it isn't racist, but I decided to take the piss because it was a pretty bland comment. And nobody is more against political correctness than me, trust me.
Absolutely ridiculous, 10% whisky and 5% Guinness at least
For a moment I thought we'd only see the taking of the test, not the results. 😄
TheMovieMyLife I would have thumbs downed so fast lol
why on earth would we only see the test and not the results. did you really think that
Huh? They showed the results.
It's not a complete test if you're not seeing results.
Epic Fable some people have done that, where they have someone taking the test, talking about what they think they'll get, and then their next video once they get the results is them explaining what they got. ive seen two videos like that, i dont like it because i wathed the video for the results not their thoughts on their heritage, but it does happen.
The ethnic ancestry estimates from these kind of tests are fun and interesting but need to be taken with a grain of salt. What they are really good at is linking you to relatives you didn't know you had. I have had very good success with that part of the tests, including linking me to a second cousin who lives half way around the world, and allowing me to contact dna relatives that are helping me to correct some of the erroneous information in my genealogy.
I wish the DNA tests got more granular (23 and me). I'm 70% "British and Irish" but I want to know more!
take ancestry DNA, it separates it.
First of all, MyHeritage is probably the least accurate testing company of all. Try 23andme, Ancestry DNA or Family Tree DNA. Secondly, these percentages should NOT be taken literally. That's why some companies use geographical terms like East European, South Asian instead of saying Irish or Chinese. These percentages say you share some markers with a group. And in case of Europe, it's nothing special, because most Europeans are related to each other in varying degrees. An Iberian can score some "Irish" and and Irishman can score some "Iberian" without having any recent or direct ancestry from that place.
Yes this DNA tests have been debunked for awhile... (not DNA tests per say, just the origin pinpointing)... Humans have mixed so much in the last 2500 years that nowadays we almost can throw a dart on a globe and yes you have some genes that are more predominant from that area...
But I think the more you gather (I have never taken this kind of test) and the more data (with a good questionnaire) they might get better at it... how knows...
It's because of the Celts, they and the Iberians share the place before Rome conquest, you can find a lot of things they're left in the culture.
So me who never have a english/irish ancestar but have lot of iberian (Portugal) can confused the % saying other thing.
Alexis J.
Saying Europeans are all the Same is Racist
Alya Issa How's it racist? They all have common genetic markers that make them distinctly European.
Europe was conquared by many many different tribes and ethnic groups that are absolutely distinguishable. A slav a norwegian an italian and a spanish person are noticably different. I work with tourists and the physical fetaure and facial structure and certain other characteristics instantly gives away someones ethnicity. You would never mix up a coratian with someone from finland.
10% Italian ... I knew the Romans had arrived there too.
67claudius the romans never arrived in ireland. They arrived in england tho
and in Scotland.
My family is originally from Cornwall, but no-one in my family looks English. I'm sure that if I did a DNA test there would be lots of Iberian and other Mediterranean stuff. The Romans were there.
Daniel Liddicoat definitely mate, loads of Cornish protest that the Romans were never here but I recon they were, us Brits wherever we're from are all pretty mixed up.
"the romans never arrived in ireland."
The Roman forces supporting Tuathal Techtmar, dispossessed Romano-Breton nobility & Agricola's military expedition may not agree with you on that one. Not to mention Roman merchants who settled down and might not be mentioned in records.
I saw a discovery channel DNA test where they did 100 people at a street celebration in Brooklyn. One of the more interesting revelations was a girl who was mostly Southeast Asian who also had some Australian Aborigine ancestry.
the schwabbing just dawned on me , you know like on a ship , when the accent in their voices said it heee hhaa heee, and the lovely humor...

You sound like a person whose entire worldview WOULD be shattered if you found out you had a little bit of African heritage. What, are you scared? No need to be. :)
c c this test only goes back 100s to like a few thousand years, but if you go far enough, everyone has a little african in them
Hello from Cyprus 🇨🇾🇬🇷😄
Soon as I have the funds, I will take my own DNA test; I definitely have British/Irish heritage.
Love that people are enjoying being worldly in every sense!
Make a video about kkk members taking a DNA test,I think will be hilarious!😂
@Gigas I agree. Black lives matter for example is much worse than the KKK because they actually go around killing police officers. The KKK haven't been relevant since the 70s
@David Roche racist
I'd like to see a DNA test on the leaders of the BLM group, definitely. And not the Bureau of Land Management, either.
"Black lives matter for example is much worse than the KKK because they actually go around killing police officers."
LOL
Who did that? Can you give us a link to that please? That seems ridiculous since you can't perform this test without the person's permission.
Ahhhh! No joke..the first guy is a sub IN MY SCHOOL!!!
Rose Bobbett lucky
My grandfather on my mother's side of the family had an Irish surname. I was able to trace his lineage back to County Cork in the 15th century . They wound up in County Tyrone before immigrating to America in the late 17th century
Wonder Woman clone: "I'm part Amazonian?"
Cute redhead: "I'm glad that I have other bits in me though."
Me: *falls over
People misunderstand these tests. The woman with the Amazonian likely didn't have ancestry there, but she likely SHARED ancestry with them.
These aren't be all end all. These are: Your DNA contains alleles that are commonly found in these peoples.
Wait... I have had quite a bit of wine so can you ’splain the difference between having ancestry vs. sharing it? I mean... if you share the ancestry then down the line you would have it, no?
C*Stereo I am no Geneticist but I would say the difference is that sharing DNA means your DNA is genetically similar. DNA in digital form is similar to a computer in that it is digits; as in a computer program is a form of coding, a lot of programs will run on a base code with variations that tell the computer how to run the program differently to another. So while the base code may look similar and use certain drivers the program could be vastly different to another program.
What I am saying is think of the human DNA like this: you may share a similar DNA (coding) that gives you certain features that DNA creates but not be exactly of that DNA completely.
Summary: Certain features of the human body can be attributed to certain ethnicities but doesn't neccessarily mean you are of that ethnicity.
C*Stereo What I mean is that if you take 2 seemingly different groups you can likely trace their roots back to a common area. They just evolved and kept certain traits from the original, while the other group lost some and kept others.
and the other person is correct as well, you could be 100% pure something, and the test might not reflect that.
C*Stereo Basically, my brother and I could take the test and get different results, based on our genetic sequencing.
any results under 2% can be attributed to "noise" and are pure speculation. They are only added to the results to give more "diversity" and make people feel more globalized.
"I know you didn't ask for a semen sample, but I've prepared my own." 😂
i ended up learning a family secret taking a DNA test. since the result came back with almost 1/2 Eastern Europe, and ALL of my grandparents were from areas of Ireland, Scotland and England
I scored 73,7% English, 12,4% Eastern European, 5% Scandinavian, 2% Finnish, 2% Western Asian, 2% Italian. 1,8% Ashkenazi Jewish and 1,1% Iberian. Btw I was born and raised in Germany, both of my parents too, I knew that there was a connection to England, but I didn’t expect that I’m so much English. I was also very surprised, that I’m actually not a tiny bit German. That shocked me quite a bit. I thought that I could be at least around 40 percent German.
The tests are clearly bullshit
That redheaded girl, Laura was so charming this episode - not that she isn't usually but there was something so sweet and vulnerable about her this episode
All the ones having a tiny percentage of Jewish ancestry isn't surprising. After all, a lot of Jews converted to or feigned Catholicism during the Inquisition. Ireland is a very Catholic country.
@Thomas
Not sure if there were Jews fleeing to Ireland per se, but there were Sephardi Jews fleeing to England following the Inquisition. There were also Crypto-Jews living within England after a decree to expel them was put in place during the Middle Ages. So not entirely impossible but simply very unlikely. Also, the mere fact that the Jewish ancestry shown was also bundled with Eastern European might indicate that the Jewish ancestry was simply erroneously detected.
Disraeli for example was a British Jew who converted to Christianity, he had no children, but imagine a theoretical scenario where he did have children, his descendants would be roaming Britain, not ever knowing that they have partial Jewish ancestry.
Ultimately I agree that it is fairly far fetched to assume that all of them had Jewish ancestry, but to assume that there is some Jewish conspiracy involved.. you're stooping very low
That was in mainland Europe not Ireland
Thomas lay off the drugs will you?
Too many people get some Ashkenazi on this test. I do as well and while I'd be happy to have some Ashkenazi in my blood it doesn't make sense in my family tree or the history of Ireland. There just wasn't that many Jewish people in Ireland and there would have to be a huge amount for most Irish people to get some Ashkenazi. Even the Indian girl in this gets some Ashkenazi. Everyone on this got some and that's not likely.
Tbh Jackie i could give a whole long explanation on why that is but im lazy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've been told I was Native American my whole life. I would be 1/8th Cherokee so I took a DNA test to see how much and what it showed. To my shock, I am Irish! HA! It explains sooo much. I love potatoes, bread, first time I tried Killians Irish Red beer I was hooked beyond belief, I have a flushed red face, etc. I've heard the saying "it is in the blood" so now I feel like going to Ireland to see if it feels like "home". Southern American here.
Yeah, your ancestors may have r*ped a native; but if you look fucking pale, it was a while ago and probably only happened once or twice
@@Gary-bz1rf aye the irish emigrated to new york n around that area in the famine times which was around the 1840s and not very much made it, probably only around 600,000 and thats pushing it, its very unlikely they made it all the way down to southern usa
Wtf hahaha just cause you like potatoes does not make you Irish I know people born in Africa raised In Ireland who are more Irish then Irish Americans, being Irish is being raised here living the culture , your blood doesn’t make you an Irish man lol
@@lyra5688 , my great great grandfather came over to the US in 1846 from Clare, Ireland. He became a coal minor in Pennsylvania. I have checks from the company he worked for when he became a supervisor that were passed down to me. I never knew before that that I was Irish until I did our genealogy. Finding that out made so much sense to me. Thanks also for the info, I had no idea that so little amount of Irish immigrants made it here.
Potatoes are Native American....potatoes are not native to Ireland, but were imported as a crop from the Americas. You may still be 1/8th Cherokee and you just didn't inherit the DNA. 1/8th is from a great grandparent. A person inherits only 50% of their DNA from each parent. If you mom or dad was 1/4, that makes them 3/4 something else. You just might not have gotten that bit in the random 50% that was passed on. The best way to check that is to get the whole family to test: siblings, parents, grandparents. Of course tribal membership is not determined by DNA tests but by genealogy. If you have the genealogy proven, that's the most important thing. Even if you didn't get the DNA, it's still one of the groups of people that made up your ancestry and got to you.
I'd love to take one of these tests as my mum told me that my family emigrated here from France a hundred or so years ago, and I tracked my surname origin to Rouens, France. It would explain why I am able to speak French/Spanish with such a convincing accent haha.
I did the MyHeritage DNA test and it was so much fun just to find out things you never suspected. I like the way My Heritage breaks down the info. from large portions down into smaller bits. For example, I got 100% European, that is broken down into North & West European: 72.9%, which s made up of West European: (German & French):33.6%, Scandinavian: 25%, and British & Irish: 14.3%, South European, 21.7%: Iberian (Spanish & Portuguese) - 17.2%, and Italian - 4.5%; Eastern European: 4.4%: Balkans - 4.4%; and Ashkenazi Jewish: 1%. Now is the time to do it - with the Father's Day Special!
"IM JEWISH! WHAT!"
Nope your a fellow Jew now the correct line is "Oy"
Oy! Oi!
Mammoth King Is that all you're going to correct on your comment?
THE BIG ONE....was amazonian....holy....PROOF that ancient explorers went to south america and back....that percentage has to be like 300AD or something :P
infact after looking at it more....it looks like india was trading with south america in ancient times....and frequently....for that big of an amazonian percentage and nothing european or east asian....very interesting...OR....she is from a native south american slave stolen to breed a wealthy buyer in indiaish.....and then from there build out.....probably your ancestors are in Brazilian rain forests :P
It's "you're," schmuck!
The Company Is An Israeli Owned And Run Enterprise. And the sheer numbers of tests that run through the lab requires either thorough cleaning and sterilization or new equipment. Fact: DNA is a bugger to remove from laboratory machinery. It is possible that some of these tests are contaminated. And it is advisable to research your DNA testing partner and possibly try another company located in another part of the world too. I have done two DNA tests with different companies and the results are totally different. So, before you relocate to the Amazon, England or Israel double check...
Israel runs white nationalism.
An anti semite lol . you should not go to shitty companies, so you dont get different results. my heritage is a seriouse company. And about your rediculous remark - Israel's technology is no. 1 in the world, that's a well known fact. So their results are as accurate as you can get.
arktana there is nothing anti semite in his comment .. he is simply right
And i am Ethnically Semite (not a pretender because he speak Semitic language)
don't be a clown: can you prof " Israeli Owned"??
secondly the Gaelic language having a characteristic of a semitic language from the Middle East..
"indigenous Amazonian"
wtf
alot of amerindians were captured and sold as slaves to Europe
I did the ancestry one (little bit more specific than this one) mostly British, some Iberian and eastern European, but 10% specifically Irish!
Breogan's kids left some good DNA in Ireland. Irish people are so wonderful
we are!!!! 100% :)
Who's Breogan('s kids)?
I did a dna test and got my results today I'm 85.9% Irish and british my great great grandpa is from Dublin I'm over here in America
Doesn't surprise me. Half of those people didn't look irish at all.
"NO DONALD TRUMP NOT GUNNA LET ME IN AMERICAN ANYMORE!" 😂😂

Trump is of Ashkenazi heritage.
@@celsustruth8202, as long as I remember, he is partly German and Scottish.
Most irish ppl have Iberian peninsula from what I've seen in these DNA tests. I have irish ancestry on my dad's side and have 9% iberian peninsula - also a small percentage of scandinavian and finish which is likely due to immigration to ireland.
I tried searching to find out why iberian peninsula is so prevalent in the ancestry of irish ppl but there wasn't any real answer. Aside from the speculation of trade, but I wonder if that's true Irish Americans used to get discriminated against in part because it was thought both Irish and black people descended from the Iberian peninsula and as a result Irish were basically black people too
Jennifer Holloway I don't know exactly but we are related. I'm from Spain and I have 37,7% of my DNA that's Ireland and British.
travisbickelll interesting! thanks for posting!
+Jennifer Holloway Irishe black people? Wtf are you learning in USA?
1) Irishe people have Iberian peninsula or north-african DNA because "Barbary Pirates" from North-Africa go to Europe to take treasure or slaves... from 9th Century to 19 Century they did that... Also South-Europe and North-Africa has alot of History togheter and explains why they got similar DNA...
Its what was thought of as true about 150 years ago - its not being taught now. Reading is fundamental - you should've read my post better before responding. And I never said I agreed with what was taught 150 years ago either its just a point of fact that its what happened in the past
I've always wanted to do this!!!
With a particular participant of this, it wasn't suprising
"Part Amazonian". That makes sense. Whatever Sarina's genetic heritage, she's hot as all hell.
Also, apparently everyone is a tiny bit Jewish. 🔯✔
"everyone is a tiny bit Jewish"
There's some old white guys out there that would be very upset to hear that.
Jacob whydoesmylastnamematter I can't imagine why. It's basically saying "everyone has a tiny chance of being funny and/or winning a Nobel Prize". 😀
Nobel Prize is nothing more than a useless Jewist invention.
More Swedish invention if you dig a bit.

The woman who doesn't feel exotic... should know that being Irish is VERY exotic in many parts of the world! (It's only here at home that you look around and mostly just see other irish around, so you go Ah here, Lads..) We're not the best looking of people - now now, we're not - but we're definitely up there with being some of the most fun, friendliest, quick-witted and kindest. That's not bad...
My folks have lived in America for over 200 years. Most of that time they lived in the Appalachian mountains region of the country, which was settled by the Irish Scots. Recently my daughter took a DNA test. It was no surprise to find that she had a lot a Irish Scots in her DNA. What was surprising is the fact that after comparing her DNA to the average Irish Scots in Ireland she is more Irish Scots than the Irish Scots. Maybe it’s the insular isolation of the region but surprising nonetheless.
I’m a 4th generation American and I’m 89% Irish. That’s literally more than most of the actual Irish people in this video 😂🤣😂🤣
We are 50 percent we are 2nd generation.
I am 5th generation American and I am 96% Irish lol.

Are you related to Conan O'Brien then? Seriously, though, check out the clip about him and his DNA test..
66.5% Irish and damn proud thank you!
It's so funny we all think of our own culture as boring
Actually in my family we are all quite happy to be half Polish and other half German, Danish and Swedish.
I dont know if its because they think they're culture is "boring", its probably just nice to know that there's a bit more to their lineage than they would assume.
The grass is always greener on the other side. We're so used to our own culture and think it's just normal that it doesn't captivate us as it would be for someone never exposed to it.
I call it, the exotic phenomena
Yeah but artoria i dont think ive ever meant an Ukrainian not super into being an Ukrainian like yall are all about that.
I'm part Irish!! I was happy to find that out!! More British but there was some Irish in there!!
The people in the video: I wish I was exotic ?! Middal estern-No ?! Me: 😬 that didnt soud good
This was so fun and exciting..I had tears in my eyes watching them get so excited seeing their heritage :)
I got my results today:
Irish, Welsh, & Scottish- 70.2%
Balkan- 15%
Eastern European- 13.5%
West African- 1.3%
NICE
nice mix !
Cool!!!! I was mostly Irish too!! 83%
than 5% British :(
The rest was scattered trace amounts of Finish, Italian and Western Europe, and I think Eastern Europe !!! Was so cool to find out.
Ay balkan :)
Would guess your ancestry is partially the result of someone from the Ottoman Empire, based on those varying results.
His comment about the DNA company using the DNA to clone him, lol!
These people are definitely Jewish and Egyptian from the Middle East probably even scythian since there's so many stories about the Irish and Scottish coming from Egypt in the Middle East
