THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!
As a Berber Moroccan i am pround to call myself African even if people laugh at me because i have fair skin. I mean you dont have to have dark skin to be african right btw you are a beautiful couple wish you the best both of you
I know its funny and weird at the same time
Africa doesn't mean black! African means you are a descendant of Africa. People need to stop being so ignorant and childish.
Yes right you dont have to be black to be from africa thank you Kevin, I am Moroccan with light hair and fair skin but still african, last time i checked it said Africa on the map:)
Sabrina Marocaine Majority of Africans are black. Just like majority of Europe is white. Your ancestors are invaders.
Sabrina Marocaine African is from ifri... The amazigh goddess... So the continant is called after us... And amazigh gene is Caucasian... You can trace that with the mitochondrial dna cause is more accurate and don't cross with the nuclear DNA... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Moroccans?wprov=sfla1 more than 90% is Caucasian
Your child will be blessed with the greatest eyebrows on earth :) Fascinating results, thank you for sharing.
Haha, thanks for your nice comment. We both really appreciate it :)
Just because you speak a language doesn’t mean you are that ethnicity. For example, my grandma speaks English, but she’s 0% English. She’s Bedouin, Jordanian, Egyptian, Palestinian, Lebanese, Turkish, Kurdish, Yemeni and Saudi.
We are Moroccans, Berbers, Africans, and proud ... thank you for your video, I respect your wife for being proud of its diversity, and being respectful to the land she was born in (north africa) not like some people who legitimate arab colonisation on our land.
Always. Thanks for noticing that. Sometimes people who watch our video misinterpret what we are saying. Glad you can see pass that. Thanks for watching our video.
7ama9a Not Africans.......
no offense but lets all hope you ain’t being disrespectful......
So glad someone actually knows what 'Africa North' means. People tend to look at modern Africa North and assume that's what their DNA refers to.
Thanks for that. Africa North today is a completely different world then what it was and stands for. Thanks for watching the video by the way. Appreciate it the positive comments.
Great husband kept calling his wife goddess, beautiful, and Queen! Good job my Puerto Rican brother because your wife is very gorgeous 😊
Thank you sister. I really appreciate that. 😊
Amazing results :) Thank you both for sharing your DNA results. Very interesting to me and been interested in the world, the cultures, the religions for the majority of my life.The world is truly a rainbow, but doesn't surprise me, and i have known that for long time. I love that you are both humble, proud, and accept each other, and other people no matter where they come from or look like!! Keep up the great work!! Peace, love, and happiness always :)
why would the middle eastern shock you ?! it makes sense ! north africa got invaded by them , most moroccan are gonna be mainly a mix of north african/african, middle eastern and a bit of iberian peninsula
lamia en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Moroccans?wprov=sfla1
Some... but not "most"... the mixing rate do not exceed an average of 15-20 % ....
I am Moroccan and I live in Bronx ny between Porto rican and Dominican I always feel something in some how I share a blood with them
It's close! We share a LOT of the same blood. I'm 100% and even I had a lot of North African and Middle Eastern.
until 1880 moroccan borders were until senegal and part of mali was Morocco ... :) great vid guys!
No, it wasn't called morocco, just how the roman empire isn't called Italy today.
@Ilyass ELK Just like the region of numidia which spanned across all the east atlas mountains but we don't see tunis's borders stretched out to algerias capital. #FreeWesternSahara #FreePalestine
I love how yall claim your African side 😍 and call yourself African
there are a lot of Africans who don't claim they're African side and always like call them self "Arab" instead of African.BC of the stereotype non Africans make of African
Thanks. Both me and my wife are very proud of our African roots, its the roots we both can relate to the most. Culture, Food, Etc. Thanks for taking time out to watch our video, we both truly appreciate you.
LEOR Moorey what are you talking about?! you can be Arab from Africa! Africa is not a nationality... it's a continental...stupid people everywhere
continent rather
@@o0oincognito0o85 u can but ur Arab genes are from the middle east not africa. The arabs ruled north africa for a long time.
Thank you so much Yuri L for educating those in self hate denial of what the Original North Africans looked like!!

My father from jalisco and mother from Michoacán, me myself a Mexican American born in L.A California,Mexicans are a multi cultural race very diverse.
A question for the Moroccan lady, I am curious to know if your parents spoke the Hassaniya Arabic dialect or if they were from the south of Morocco/western Sahara?
The reason I'm asking is because if it is the case it would make a lot of sense and explain the high middle eastern DNA, as you probably know the Banu Hilal tribe that was of Arabian origin mixed with Egyptian because they settled in north east Africa before migrating to north west Africa and were expelled by the Almohad Berber Dynasty from Tunisia to Morocco where they were employed by Almohad dynasty to fight the advancing Christians in Spain.
I also see a lot of facial resemblance with people from western Sahara but I could be wrong.
TAHIA DZAIR Hi, Moroccan lady here lol
I actually don't really know much about my family linage which is why this test was so shocking to me. But your insight is really intriguing & makes a whole lot of sense. I've had people mistake me for sahrawia & misriya all the time & now it's all starting to fall into place! Thanks for commenting!
Sadly my Dad refused to take the test and I think that part of it was that he didn't want to know how much African he was. His European family has been in the Caribbean since the 1600s and he sees himself and is perceived as white. His brother did take the test and confirmed our mixed heritage: Spanish, Italian, Greek, Nigerian, Native American, Middle Eastern (Lebanese and Syrian), Ashkenazi Jewish, Senegalese, British, Chinese and Irish/Scottish/Welsh!
Aliza M Hausman U clearly have black in u
I know right? Was there ever any doubt? Apparently only on the part of my Dad who has spent all my life reminding me that my hair is too BLACK...and I don't mean the color.
@@jewminicana that makes no sense, id see you as black if I met you
@@michiga5220 That’s what my friend from Louisiana says. She said there are black people as light as me in Louisiana. In Los Angeles, where I live now (I’m from New York City where people thought I was biracial or Puerto Rican), people think I’m Persian.
@@jewminicana either way miss there is beauty in your variety dont ever feel bad especially if someone who birthed you think they wouldn't like yourself, there is beauty in your humanity, better to love your ancestors because they wouldn't hate their children im full african and here are people as light as you and my dad and as dark as my mum but there are all beutiful, some people think my 2 siblings are mixed to or pure asain, skin tone is random, im from somalia btw 😊 and even some don't think im black but we all know ourselves the most and were our look comes from , your a still beutiful in he end of the day and this is what God thinks also
Cute couple! Lol my husband sent me this link to your video. He is Moroccan and I am Mexican American. We have a Moroxican baby already and another on the way! I took the test too and found out I have Arab and North African also as well as European and Native American..very similar results. Oh and I'm a convert to Islam. Asalam Aleikum!
Cris J awww that's soooo cute greetings from Morocco!!!! 😊
Walaikum Salaam. Interesting to hear from a Mexican Muslim. I don't hear or see much about this because on the east coast there isn't really any Mexican Muslims. Thanks for watching our video we really appreciate it.
I love how your cat goes with your beautiful decor!!! Awesome! Nice results too! Salaam! xx
Lol thank you, I swear that wasn't planned. Walaikum Salaam.
I don’t know why she’s acting all surprised and disappointed that she’s 36% Middle Eastern. Most of North Africans now a days are mixture of Arab/Berber because of the spread of Islam centuries ago. FYI, North Africans are actually considered Caucasians too, not just Middle Easterners like you said. Look it up. You’re not “African” because Morocco is in Africa, same as Middle Easterners are not “Asian” because they’re in Asia.
Get educated bill, you're wrong on so many levels
Bill J Exactly
Amazigh AFRICA I never said Berbers are Arabs. I think she thought she will have more "African/Black" in her DNA than Middle Eastern, simply because Morocco is located in Africa. lol For example, look at Mario Lopez and George Lopez, both dark skinned Mexican Americans. They both have considerably higher percentage of European in their DNA than Native American. We all know thats because Spain and Portugal conquered and colonized the Americas Centuries ago. Do Mexicans consider themselves Europeans? No, and actually the majority of Mexicans are very proud and identify more with their Aztec and Mayan cultures. The same thing happened to North Africa by the Arabs who spread Islam 1400 years ago. You should be very proud of your Berber culture and identity, but to be shocked and disheartened that your DNA has a chunk of Middle Eastern in it, is laughable and tells me you don't know your history.
Bill J you know what's laughable? The small percentage you call a chunk.
Sid Joyner nobody wants to hear that bro, people like to stick to their narrow mindset. To them Africa equals black and there's nothing you can say that would persuade them.
Interesting results! Y'all are such a cute couple :) and Snow is such a cute name for a cat
Thank you so much your awesome, haha snow is a character. He always following both of us around meowing for attention lol. Thanks for watching our video :)
I was wondering what part of morocco are you from? I'm Moroccan too and I want to get my DNA tested.
both of my parents are from casablanca (my mom is half berber) and they said i was 36% subsaharan , 28% east asian (100% japanese) about 23% west european and idek the rest lmao
My wife was born in Casablanca but her family is from Marrakech.
Beautiful message, beautiful people! We are all related and should treat everyone equally :) i also did a DNA test and i have middle east (rest Europe) which is so exiting to really find out where your genes came from and feel connected to the world.
I'm confused that a North African is confused about the amount of Middle eastern blood. Middle easterners invaded North Africa. Dope video
Kieyana Waller I think my confusion is valid seeing as my middle eastern percentages are so high to the point it almost mirrors my North African. Not what I expected at all lol. Thanks for watching our video!(:
You can certainly see the shackles of the Arab invaders.
Wow what a wonderful video! You and your wife are such a beautiful lovely couple!! Your results were fascinating and I love how you two embody how diverse this world is. I'm Afro Puerto Rican as well and can't wait to get my results back in the new year. It's so awesome that you two are proud of your African history as well as your other cultures since sometimes people are less enthusiastic to have African blood. Your children will be beautiful and will be blessed to have educated diverse parents. Keep up the great content 😊
Thank you so much for watching :) truly means a lot and for that we both appreciate. Thanks for your amazing comments as well. It's amazing how diverse both me and her very are and just the thought of how diverse are children will be is mind blowing. Please as soon as your results are available post a video and send me the link so we both can watch it. Puerto Rican has so much unique history and since it's not a race it's cool to see how racially different we are from one another. Thanks again for watching.
Fascinating results to hear for someone like me who is Dominican and Puerto Rican and shares much of the same heritage that both of you do. I loved how the test helped me track own my ancestors and create a family tree traced all through the world. I thought I'd be half-European and half-African but I was surprised to find Native American, East Asian, Middle Eastern and Eastern European Jewry! Literally everyone passed through the Caribbean.
The people of Morocco 🇲🇦 are mainly ethnically Amazigh, while Egyptians are ethnically Arab, Coptic or Bedouin.
You are wrong. Both are North African (majority)
dna. Beber is a culture. Egypt is older than Morocco.
Morocco was nothing before the Muslim-Arab invasion.
@@MrAmhara Morocco is Berber as all North Africa
The only arab that I know, they live in DESERT of Saudi Arabia,,,
Actually I am part Egyptian and my family is ethnically Bedouin.
Algerian Free Thinker ⵎⴰⵙⵉⵏⵉⵙⴰ Palestinians and Jordanians are Arab. Egyptians are Arab.
Berber the are minority in Morocco the are living just in Mountains
97 percent african i love it glad to find this out
Afro Brother
Laverle Dugger have only some south saharian north africa DNA different is moors not subsaharian
I really don't like DNA videos where they never share a pic or a screen with us
Omg same cause u don't wanna hear it but see it it's so anoyying
I loved your video, you mentioned that everyone should take a DNA test, maybe then there would be no tension with the world. I have also done my Ancestry DNA and it was great.
Thanks, I am glad you watched our video and enjoyed it. What were your results if you dont mind sharing ?
Nine months after taking my DNA I was contacted by I was contacted my lost cousin and I found the other side of my family. It was so exciting ;)
+Kevin Marc you guys are so intelligent, speak so well and your geographic knowledge for the average American is refreshing . I like this video. Well done
Lol thanks for watching the video. We appreciate it.
Why are the comments so negative. Nice video!!
I'm Moroccan from Rif I took DNA test, it came out 42% North Africa, Europe 31% , West Asia 21% and 4% Nigeria .

it could be its seemed to be the oldest Ancestry on me.
What does Berbers settling in Nigeria have to do with anything? None of these countries existed 500 years ago. What this says is that she shares genes with people in that part of Africa. Her ancestors could very well have been Black North Africans it doesn't mean that any ancestor of hers migrated to Morocco from Nigeria. There are still many native Blacks in Morocco.
Very cool results! I'm Puerto Rican too and my Ancestry estimates were very similar! Like 63% European 17% Native and 20% African!
ABOUT AVERAGE
When people say, "We're all the same blood", it often sounds really cliche but for some reason, there is a ring of authenticity from this couple. I love the wine sipping and the calm interaction between the two. I'm English-Caribbean and have a similar DNA mixture but for the % distribution. Thanks for sharing the family spirit.
salam
thanks for this video ! : )
Ruby which area are you from in Morocco ?
3likoum Salam! My mom is originally from Marrakech but both parents raised in Casa. Thanks for watching(:
I am 3 mins in and already excited you guys understand the migratory habits and how that affects our DNA....woohoo
It's not shocking that a Morrocan is 30+% Arab from the Middle East.
It is shocking when majority of North Africans have 0-15 percent max middle eastern. My wife being what I believe was 36 percent two percent lower then her North African percentage took us by a shock.
What where your exact results ?
@@KARIMLIZARDI you are not right i have just checked the lybian dna they have more arab dna especially people from the east of libya.concerning algeria morocco it depends on the area there are arab tribes and amazigh tribes and black tribes (u can check lalla khamlia they are bambara and they get brought as soldiers and as slaves when morocco conquiered Mali) and citizens from tetouan rabat vmchefchaouen fes they are andalusian
ask you father or rehamna if they are from rehamna or seraghna.
dont forget the tribesbanu hilal banu sulaym banu maaquil invade north africa.
The right term is 'imazighen' (ⵉⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵏ). 'Berbers' is what the ancient Greeks called us, that's how they used to call non-Greek speaking people and is not the right way to call yourself. The Moors were the arabized Imazighen which were still Amazigh through blood but got arabized through culture. The Amazigh race is a race with diverse skin color, native to Africa, coming from the same family as the indigenous people of the Horn of Africa. Imazighen got the haplogroup E-M81 and the folks over in the Horn of Africa got E-M78. The haplogroup E is native to Africa.
geerenmo thanks for this explaination .
You don't know what youre talking about.
Amzighen are a ethnic group and not a race!
Race refers to a category of people who share certain inherited physical characteristics, such as skin color, facial features, and stature.
Northen Morrccans the original moors dont have any skin or facial features that are similar to those from the horn of africa.
lol Ouail.. if u say so ;)
Jackie B
Only the ignorant does not know the difference between race and etnicity.
It would have taken you just couple of minutes to find out.
Be proud of youre own history and stop claiming the others!
That is my message to people like you!
Ouail Ouail hmm I know the difference dude I just dont agree with you on everything you said
Why was she so shocked about having middle eastern blood? Doesn't she know most if not ALL north Africans are mixed middle eastern. Its from way back when the Arabs migrated to north Africa.
Because usually we have 5, 6 pourcent middle eastern ! we have way more berber dna and then spanish, italian, greek etc
El Amri Feriel no all north Africans have at least 20-30% middle eastern blood ATLEAST. This girls 36% is nothing compared to some people I've seen with around 50%
no , tunisians can have that amount, it is very rare for morrocan or algerian. 36 is huge even for a tunisian ! we are amazigh before anything else
Lol then you should travel ! to europe for instance in order to find out how they look. Actually I live there. I'm proud and i embrace my amazigh"ness" as much as any dna i can possibly have in me ! european or middle eastern ! but i won't act as if i was full arab and disrespect my legacy. If i'm 79 percent amazigh then that's mostly who I am.... We North african know we ain't a pure race but really mixed one and that makes our beauty !!! and that gives small minds who have alot of free time things to talk about !
Lol i have just said , like literally said , we do embrace our heritage , we are mostly amazigh but we are mixed and proud to be mixed with middle eastern, turkish, spanish, italian , greek, senegalese.... So if you don't know how to read or if you don't have the ability to understand , it's another problem i unfortunately can't resolve.
very knowledgeable couple, I like dna result videos where the narrators actually know what they are reading.
We tried to contain as much information. Our video was so much longer with impacted info but we edited and cut it by a half hoping we still provides great info but your awesome. Thanks you for your amazing comments and for watching the video we really appreciate it.
You guys are a beautiful mix; beautiful couple. Thanks for sharing your results beautiful people.
Ma sha Allaah u look like a real loving couple. Allaah yehmekon.
love from a Lebanese, Australian Born.
We appreciate you watching the video, Thank you :).
Sorry but she sounded naive to be shocked with the Middle Eastern part. Like most North Africans are a mix of African and Arab with bits of European. Hello? Arabs migrated to Africa to spread Islam and then migrated with the Natives to Spain and Portugal and established Andalucia. That's how the husband ended up with Middle Eastern. When Andalucia fell to the Spanish, Christopher Columbus was there and took Andalucian slaves who were great navigators. It is said that when they landed in the Caribbean, some managed to escape and sought refuge among the natives. People need to read history.
Nice and clear accounting. Maybe world history will be taught in schools, someday.
Well said Amel, It's simple analysis.
@Dua Irwns False Andalousie was build by moors berbers islamised and Baghdad was built by persians islamised sorry for m'y english but everyone know this in France. Arab bédouin are only use islam and Coran pseudo Book of god to do War with camels
@Aksel Syfax When the french came to north africa. They found most of the cities were arab speaking and all the berbers were in the rural areas and in the mountains.
@Aksel Syfax Andalucia was arab ruled, and arab speaking. They didn't speak a word of amazigh. The founder of the emirate of cordoba was an escaped ummayad prince, he was qurayshi. There were also a lot of yemenite emmigrants in andalucia too.
I Love your DNA results, it is very informative. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. Your positive comment means a lot. Thanks again for everything as well as watching the video.
I am impressed by the 16% Taino! Wow!
@Natanya T You think 16% is impressive my father got over 20% now that what I call impressive. My Arawak Indian is a range between 14 and 16 and further DNA analysis shows that I'm only 14 % but either way it is a chunk you know.
***** Wow. Cool!
I'm Moroccan, Indian and taíno Puerto Rican (Native American)
I'm 93% Africa North 😂 I'm from the Atlas in Morocco, green eyes and red hair I was told it's a rare combination 😛 glad you guys shared your results with us
anonymous Muslim, no I am Berber in my village there are a lot of people with red hair or blonde hair but red hair + green eyes is a rare combination normally people with red hair have brown or blue eyes (:
Yeah cool. Me too.
Anonymous Muslim are you trying to teach me about my country..? ifrane is in the Atlas,the Atlas is a Berber region, there are Arabs there but they're a small minority.. it's inhabited by zenata berber tribes..Arabs prefer hot climate it's -5 degrees in ifrane right now. will be -7 tomorrow I think. but welcome to the region if you can withstand the cold and snow
anonymous Muslim, agreed
CS X your results are from Ancestry Dna or an other test ?
The tainos didn't all die out, some went to the mountains, and that's how they survived. Some mixed in with the people, and that is why your genes are still there
When it comes to percentage, the most recent is the most, the smallest is the earliest. So, that means if you have huge European chunk, some people in your family recently married white, but before that you were most likely nonwhite. You know this because of the "better the race" ideology of a lot of latins.
No disrespect, just telling the truth of history for nonwhites. If you see white in our bloodline, it was either from rape, or people marrying out for a better life due to the hard life we had from racism. This can also apply somewhat to North Africans, this is why she has Senegal in her genes, but doesn't know anyone who is from there in her family, most likely those people married out for a better life, but they were forgotten by the family who they married into. Or some of the moorish soldiers had some people from that land, the moors used soldiers from that area as well as that was another strong hold for them. Looking at her, you can see she has some of that in her, just like a lot of North Africans, they have more black in them compared to Arabs in Turkey or other parts of the middle east, but even they have black in them just not as much as North Africans.
RACISM IS NO JOKE!
Pretty cool! Moroccan make-up makes a lot of sense! Migrations across North Africa from the Middle East as far as the Zagreb, and European migrations into North Africa as well. As far as PR, also expected. You guys are cool. Love watching these videos.
I’m 40% European (mostly English, Scottish , Irish and German ) 34% Anatolian/Mediterranean (Bedouin, Jordanian, Egyptian, Palestinian, Lebanese), 19% Caucasus (Turkish and Kurdish), 3% The Peninsula (Yemeni and Saudi)
I found it really wierd that you don't know why your middle-eastern percentage is so high.
To me north Africa is the Berber (Amazigh) and the middle-eastern are the Arab and the two of them constitute the majority of the Moroccan people
Many are confused with her comments on that. Moroccans never have that much middle eastern if they do it's about 0-15 percent so when you hold more it's Deff shocking to know your not in the average nor statistics. Although Morocco has a strong Arab culture, there culture is in fact very mix and very diverse. They aren't Arabs as some might proclaim and you also need to take notice that the North African ancestry provides is not what North Africa is too. It's not regarding any type of mixture.
My personal DNA test shows that I'm 44 percent north African and 20 percent middle-east and I find it normal because I know Arabs from the Arabic race came in deed to Morocco not only the (Arabic culture) which is made of a mixture of the cultures of the races they conquered.
thus, I'm talking DNA not culture.
And concerning the Berber they are not a mixture of races either.
Thanks for the response
My wife was literally 50/50 North African and Arab which is very rare. Your Moroccan I take it, what area if you don't mind sharing. As for Berbers I never stated they where mixed race in fact I'm stating that in North African you can find 100% pure to North African.
Kevin Marc awesome results i have 84% african i have 1% north african,1%native american,3% asian(2% east asian & 1% central asian,and 12% european (2%irish,2% Italian%greek,2% british,2% Finnish%russian,1% iberian,1%west european,1%Scandinavian,and 1% east european i been told by my father we have ancestors from the Caribbean alot of people told me i look Dominican,Puerto Rican,sicilian,Mediterranean,or Middle eastern or in dna land they trace my native American to Mexico,Central,and South america
Whoa dope results. That's awesome, your results seem like someone who's from Haiti or jamacia which is awesome, could be because how you said you might have Caribbean in you, that's cool.
Most Moroccans, along with other Maghrebis like to emphasis their aboriginal Berber or Maur heritage, However waves of Middle Easterners have arrived in North Africa over the millennia. Phoenicians came, to form the Carthaginian Empire, Jews have lived in the region since before the time of Christ, the Muslim invasion brought Arabs and the Ottomans settled Turks and others in the region. So Ruby shouldn't be surprised she is so mixed.
My "most Moroccans" is based on what I've seen on TH-cam and elsewhere. I don't have statistics, do you have any indicating the reverse? Your report on Moroccan ethnicity is more detailed than my comments. I agree with all you say and don't think there is any conflict. I was responding to Ruby's incredulity over her Middle Eastern dna. Its sources could be from multiple and indeed ancient sources. No doubt there are Maghrebis who do emphasis their linguistic unity with the rest of the Arab world and their Arabic bloodlines. Until recently Arab origins equated to high status versus Amazigh "aboriginals". Amazigh Pride is a relatively new phenomenon., but a growing one.
Ottomans couldnt invase Morroco.
I was actually referring to the Maghreb in general. The Ottomans occupied Algeria in the 16th Century and Tunisia soon after. Significant numbers of Turkish people known as Kouloughlis settled in the region. The Saadi and Alaouite dynasties in Morocco held the Ottomans off. However all Muslim powers used Turkish and Turkic mercenaries to boost their armies from a very early period.
PolSmokesPot ! You are correct about the migrations etc. People were moving around just like we do today...only we move much faster...
Actually most studies show that Arab invasions didn’t change the admixture of Moroccans that much. Most Moroccans doing a DNA test would likely see a majority North African, with a bit European, due to its proximity to Spain.
Beautiful couple
Thank you, we appreciate you taking time to watch our video.
Hi guys. Nice vid. I was wondering where in Morocco you're from? I know Spain still has several colonies in Morocco but those colonies, like Ceuta, were Portuguese first. In 1578, the mad Portuguese King Sebastião invaded Morocco and was destroyed. It was a massive defeat akin to that of the Spanish Armada against England. Thousands of Portuguese were taken prisoner. I'm wondering if that's where a lot of the Iberian genes in Morocco come into play. The Moroccans invaded Portugal, the Portuguese invaded Morocco. I'm Azorean and in the Azores, there are lots of stories of Moroccan pirates invading and pillaging the coastal villages. Nothing like a good invasion to mix the races. Cheers from Canada!
That's interesting to say the least. Thank you for providing us with that information. As for my wife Iberian DNA we have pin point it to Spain. So it is all SPANISH DNA. But your information can defiantly be the reason to other Moroccans who have apparent Iberian DNA. Keep in mind Iberian is South France, Portugal and Spain. As for my wife she was born in Casablanca but family is from Sahara and Marrakesh
Thanks, Kevin. Cheers.
Cheers, Kevin!
Hey, me always...what the hell are you talking about? Muslims invaded and conquered the Iberian Peninsula and were there peacefully and "defenceless" for over a 100 years? Ridiculous. Maybe you're getting too much of your history from illiterate imams? The Moors invaded Iberia in 711. Would you not consider that a land grab? The Moors were only kicked out of Spain in 1492. That's a lot more than 100 years, amigo. The Reconquista in Portugal was finished in 1249 with the re-taking of the Algarve. Then, in 1415, Prince Henry The Navigator, returned the favour by bringing an armada of "peaceful and defenceless" Christian invaders to Moroccan shores with the conquest of Ceuta. That was the beginning the European colonial era. Iberia was a war torn shit hole for over a thousand years, from the fall of the Roman Empire until the end of the Chrisitian Reconquista. You could make a claim that Muslim rule brought peace and enlightenment to Iberia, but that would be looking at history through rose coloured glasses. The truth is, Iberia continued to suffer civil and military conflict as different Moorish kingdoms warred amongst themselves. There were also further invasions of Iberia as other Moorish factions moved in from Morocco to conquer the Moors who were already there. So called Muslim historians rarely ever mention that. The truth is, the Iberian Moors were no different really, from the Iberian Christians further north, who were killing each other when not fighting the Moors. Case in point...Dom Afonso Henriques, the first King of Portugal, rebelled against his own mother to found one of the oldest nation states in Europe, then he turned his sword against the Moors to the south, while always keeping a keen eye on what his cousin, the King of Castile was doing further east. Nobody was peaceful with anybody back then. It was a land of bloodthirsty warlords and crazed fundamentalists...an Iberian Game of Thrones. The Moors left their legacy on Iberia with their architecture, language, culture and DNA, that much is obvious. What's not obvious, however, is that you know your history. Hopefully, I was able to educate you with some knowledge.
Sounds to me like you are an Arab and Islamic imperialist. You guys love talking crap about Western imperialism and never stop to think that you love to practice exactly the same bullshit. Iberia, Portugal, Spain, Al Andalus, Algarve, Granada or whatever, were never yours to begin with. You invaded the land, conquered and subjugated the people, and stole the resources. That's classical imperialism. Let's hear you admit it. You took the land from someone else, and now you are crying that someone had the balls to take it back. And good for Morocco, you should celebrate the fact that you beat back an invading army. Every country loves to celebrate historic military victories. So then why are you complaining about Portugal taking back the Algarve from you lot? Why the hypocrisy? Not enough sunny beaches in Morocco? Look man, I didn't come here to get into an imperialist pissing contest. I was interested in the magical saga that is human DNA, regardless of religion and obsolete empires. DNA doesn't give a shit if you're a Muslim or a Christian or a Pastafarian. It's what makes these DNA videos on TH-cam so compelling. So please shove your religion and historic prejudice up your ass, and go away. Here's hoping your DNA can still bless you with a brain cell or two.
You are a beautiful couple. This was a great video. Thank you. :-)
Your so sweet, thank you :)
Which GEDmatch calculator did you all use? I think I missed it or maybe you didn't post it. Thanks!
Sorry we had forgot to mention it but we used GedMatch Eugenes36 Test. Thanks for watching we appreciate it.
Masha’Allah! You are so proud of your wife AND with good reason! She’s so beautiful. I am Latina (Mexicana) and my fiancé is Moroccan. Definitely gonna show him this. I hope you guys get a chance to go to Morocco if you haven’t done so already. Such a beautiful country. I would love to go to PR. Allah bless your marriage, Ameen.
Middle Eastern is not a tribe. Jews & Arabs are not the two oldest tribes. The San People of Southern African are known as the oldest tribe in the world
What a beautiful couple
great video and very intelligent couple with very interesting DNA results. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching the video. We appreciate it, very much.
Thanks. Great video! Very interesting to see the sort of genetic overlap between Northwest African and Latin-Caribbean people.

The Ancient Pharaonic Egyptians for the most part before becoming Afroasiatic were an African Aborigine people.
What do you think their origins are?

So many of the Arabs (Yemeni) store clerks around here can pass as Dominican or Puerto Rican.
A lot of north africans and yemenis have a pseudo caribbean hispanic thing going on.
@@f19ure yeapp i can confirm that i alwys get cuban, ouerto rican or latino in general ;)
Thank you guys for doing this video. I myself did the ancestry dna test and first off im latino. mexican american to be exact and i got 10 percent african and 7 percent middle eastern. To me it just showed how much moore blood im assuming people from spain have. Also slaves were brought to mexico to a lesser extent than the Caribbean so I think its such a beautiful thing to have European,native, African and middle eastern blood. Ever since finding my results my views on race have changed so much as far as my history and ancestors. Thanks again i love this video! I love all my mixed race people so much!
That's dope brother. People need to understand that the middle eastern doesn't solely come from Spain. Many Spain took their DNA and majority have ZERO middle eastern or Asian. While others have less then 1 percent. Many people joined the Spainish war because they where minority's. They weren't really Spainish as now your DNA has shown. It's intreasting how history is.
Remember when Christopher Columbus discovered the West Indies him and his accomplices where all itallian working for the spainard King and Queen. Just goes to show you that the people that came weren't all Spanish.
My DNA was further professed and all of my Iberian peninsula is French all of it with some itallian and of course trace amounts of Russian etc. this DNA come from my mother is half french. Her family jewish within religion and Russian within traces majority came from basque region in France and went to the islands.
My dad on the other hand is 20 percent Spanish. Spanish DNA doesn't really run within my blood. Which is intreasting when you put in perspective that we come from a Spanish speaking countries but it goes to show you how diverse everyone is.
Kevin Marc
that is crazy considering how we were raised as latinos that spain is all of our european dna. I was shocked to find out I have a high percentage of ireland. Middle east caught me off gaurd too lol. I knew the african was there as well as European and native which im also proud of bc it shows we are still here. The white man didnt finish off the job in a sense lol hope that doesnt sound too harsh lol
Yeah many born Latin Americans have that misconception. But many West Indian-Caribbeans such as: Puerto Ricans know we are racially some of the most mixed people in the world and thats such a beautiful thing. What were your exact results?
Kevin Marc
I know my african was 10 percent and my middle east was 7 percent. off the top of my head the most was european mostly from iberean peninsula. had 15 percent irish which was shocking but makes sense bc a few of my facial hairs are red. Then on my native side it was like 38 percent which I love.
Interesting Results man.
Very interesting results... Especially of you Ruby. As a North African, I love to compare my results with others :-)
Captain America lol thank you for remembering me, there are so many of those videos on youtube ;-)
Captain America I'm flattered 🌹
Imtinan Haddad Thank you! & yess, I agree. But sadly I can't find many other North African DNA videos. It's especially intriguing since we're all so racially diverse. Thanks for watching! (:
Kevin Marc Races are socio-politically created masquerading as "biological". No human races exist in nature. DNA tests simply tests for ancestry. Nothing more and nothing less.
Imti H. Uhhh you do know tha results are not reliable and like wrong or in other words it is ****** since its ancestry.com.........
i'm moroccan also all of us are mostly amazigh and arabs that why you have north african (amazigh) and middle east (arab) roots which makes you 100% moroccan like me
it doesnt exist ARAB in MOROCCO ,,, MOROCCO is 100 % AFRICAN
Hmm if my mom is Dutch and my dad is france its never can make me 100% france but we are one 💪
@Hamza Well i'm moroccan and i did a DNA ansestry test and it said i'm part amazigh and part arab mostly from syria, saudi arabia and Yémen.
So i'm just stating facts not dellusions.
I suggest you do a dna test too
@Hamza So i should not believe a DNA test done by scientists and instead believe a hateful loser like you.
I suggest you go To therapy To cure the hate in your heart and read coran from time To time.
Arabs are a great nation that have a fantastic history and i'm proud to have arabic blood in my veins
@adi yaf screw you asshole what the fuck is wrong with you
Just to inform their are no Puerto Ricans that are "pure" or "mostly" Taino Arawak. Just because someone may look very Native American doesn't mean they are pure or mostly Native American. It's one of the things that make phenotypes and DNA so complex to understand. Taino DNA amongst Puerto Ricans usually varies constantly between 20-10%. However you'll meet some people who are close to 25% and some who are as low as 3%.
Yes we have some, that their phenotype looks taino, even if they have DNA test that said that the % is higher in the European side. That's the beauty of being mixed.
CJ Carrión Acevedo Clearly, NOT every Puerto Rican is as mixed. But most Puerto Ricans are multiracial with significant amount of Black African ancestry. Doesn't make someone Black. But DEFINITELY mixed.
Basically, your ancestors were Arabs who ruled Iberia and married North African beauties. Welcome back to the fold sister. Your brother from West Asia.
Is your wife amazigh because in Morocco there is primarily two ethnic groups, Arabs and Amazigh. Some are mixed but because Muslims go by paternal lineage as well as the fact that Y chromosome passes down only through the father, we go by the fathers lineage. 36% percent Middle East isn’t shocking considering many Arab tribes moved to Morocco and rest of North Africa historically. Many of them settled by the Atlantic coast as well as the Western Sahara part of Morocco along with tiger regions in North Africa. Also Arabs aren’t Caucasian , they only were labeled Caucasian by Europeans later on but that was to fit them in a narrow set of labels.
Awesome you guys are very educated and knowing your geography really helps(some other folks that share their ancestry results have not one clue where or what part of the world theyre trying to share info about). I enjoyed ya'lls dialogue.Thanks for mentioning Ged match i didnt know it was more specific and detailed.. Lovely Couple both so cute!
My mother was Cuban and my Dad was Mexican I hope that I have some Native American DNA in me, I hope to take the test soon.
Due to Mexicans having such high Native DNA you'll most likely be just European and Native American.
Moroccans today are predominantly amazigh/berber. Some moroccans have more middle eastern dna than others, some have barely any middle eastern in them but every moroccan has amazigh ancestry. Im from North of morocco myself and have done the ancestry dna test not too long ago. I have 89% north Africa, 5% Portugal, 2% Senegal, 2% Spain, 2% Ethiopia/Eritrea. Makes sense I guess but im sure there's some Arab in that 89% due to the growth of Islam, so to get some more accurate details ill try another company. Either way I'm satisfied with my results.
@K Assia thanks, I'm pretty aware we are amazigh but the Arab thing I want to rule out since as you know people try and argue whether we are africans or arabs. These dna sites I'm sure are heading in the right direction but as for how accurate, I cant say. I'm waiting on my results from 23+me, they should shed abit more light inshallah. Have you done a test?
Plus according to history, there's has been the Romans, cartheginians, phoenicians and so on that have spread across North africa
@@tee5034 DNA does not have to be passed down from parents, let's say your parents have Arabic DNA, not necessarily the Arabic DNA will be passed on to you, can try to look at the DNA test of your parents or grandfather, maybe They does have some Arabic DNAs.
I saw some north african DNA test result, mostly there are three dominant DNA, Berber, arab and Iberia (Andalucia), and then few amount of some sub saharan african DNA.
@@moentheng I agree it doesnt have to be passed down from parents. But from my side its pretty clear. Me, my bro, my half sister and my mum have done the test and have used ancestry and 23+me and no Arab dna. In regards to overall moroccan dna, from my research into my results and other moroccan peoples results, its fair to say that Arab dna in very minimal. Moroccans are predominantly amazigh and have closer roots to iberia then arabia.
you see how did she said we been slaved or what did she said about mors and stuff. that was very stupid. and to be heard from a moroccan is the worst ,
I used GEDMATCH and learned that my Syrian and Lebanese ancestors were Ismaili Shi’a and Druze from Ghobeirry, Mansourieh, and Damascus who were descended from Hadhrami Yemenis and Tigrinya people from Eritrea 🇪🇷
As a Yemeni, I can say what you said makes sense. Here's what I found out about the subject:
The possibly autobiographical information found in Sargozasht-i Seyyednā is the main source for Hassan's background and early life. According to this, Hassan-e Sabbāh was born in the city of Qom (Iran) in the 1050s to a family of Twelver Shī‘ah.[6] His father was of Yemenite origins, who left the Sawād of Kufa(modern Iraq) to settle in the (predominantly Shi'a) town of Qom.[8][9]

[8] Lewis, Bernard (November 2002). "3. The New Preaching". The Assassins. Basic Books. ISBN 978-0-465-00498-0. Hasan-i Sabbah was born in the city of Qumm, a stronghold of Twelver Shi'ism. His father, a Twelver Shi'ite, had come from Kufa in Iraq, and was said to be of Yemeni origin.

His father, 'Ali b. Muhammad b. Ja'far b. al-Husayn b. Muhammad b. al-Sabbah al-Himyari, a Kufanclaiming Yamani origins, had migrated from the Sawad of Kufa to the traditionally Shi'i town of Qumm in Persia.
Typically, a Lebanese native is 44 percent Arabian, 14 percent Jewish diaspora, 11 percent North African, 10% from Asia minor, 5 percent Southern European and 2 percent Eastern African.
This reference population is based on the native population of Lebanon. As some ancient populations migrated from Africa, they passed first through the Middle East en route to Eurasia. Some populations stayed in the Middle East and over time developed unique genetic patterns. The mixture of Arabian, Northern Africa, and Asia Minor is unique to this part of the world. The Arabian and Northern Africa components reflect ancient patterns of settlement and interaction in the region, while the Silk Road may have served to add genetic patterns from farther north and east.

Marcus Julius Philippus (Latin: Marcus Julius Philippus Augustus [a] c. 204 - September 249 AD), also known commonly by his nickname Philip the Arab (Latin: Philippus Arabus, also known as Philip or Philip I), was Roman Emperor from February 244 to September 249. He was born in Arabia Petraea, the Roman province of Arabia, in a city situated in modern-day Syria. He went on to become a major figure in the Roman Empire. After the death of Gordian III in February 244, Philip, who had been Praetorian prefect, achieved power. He quickly negotiated peace with the Persian Sassanid Empire. During his reign, the city of Rome celebrated its millennium.

The Ghassanid Kingdom (Arabic: الغساسنة; al-Ghasāsinah, also Banū Ghassān "Sons of Ghassān") was an Arab kingdom, founded by descendants of the Azd tribe from Yemenwho immigrated in the early 3rd century to the Levant region,[1][2] where some merged with Hellenized Christian communities,[3]converting to Christianity in the first few centuries AD while others may have already been Christians before emigrating north to escape religious persecution.[2][4]
After originally settling in the Levant, the Ghassanids became a client state to the Eastern Roman Empire. The Romans found a powerful ally in the Ghassanids who acted as a buffer zone against the Lakhmids. In addition, as kings of their own people, they were also phylarchs, native rulers of client frontier states.[10][11] The capital was at Jabiyah in the Golan Heights. Geographically, it occupied much of the eastern Levant, and its authority extended via tribal alliances with other Azdi tribes all the way to the northern Hijaz as far south as Yathrib (Medina).[12][13
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghassanids
Although the Nabataeans were initially embedded in Aramaic culture, theories about them having Aramean roots are rejected by modern scholars. Instead, archaeological, religious and linguistic evidence confirm that they are a northern Arabian tribe.[
The precise origin of the specific tribe of Arab nomads remains uncertain. One hypothesis locates their original homeland in today's Yemen, in the southwest of the Arabian peninsula, but their deities, language and script share nothing with those of southern Arabia. Another hypothesis argues that they came from the eastern coast of the peninsula
Syria Palaestina was split into Syria Prima, Syria Salutaris, Phoenice Lebanensis, Palaestina Prima, Palaestina Secunda and eventually also Palaestina Salutaris (in 6th century).
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palaestina_Salutaris
The Itureans (Greek: Ἰτουραῖοι) were a semi-nomadic tribe. The exact origin of the Itureans is disputed. Most scholars identified them as Arabs and are located in Beqaa and Mount Lebanon
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iturea
The Greek historian Strabo believed that the Phoenicians originated from Bahrain.[18]Herodotus also believed that the homeland of the Phoenicians was Bahrain.[19][20] This theory was accepted by the 19th-century German classicist Arnold Heeren who said that: "In the Greek geographers, for instance, we read of two islands, named Tyrus or Tylos, and Aradus, which boasted that they were the mother country of the Phoenicians, and exhibited relics of Phoenician temples."[21]The people of Tyre in South Lebanon in particular have long maintained Persian Gulforigins, and the similarity in the words "Tylos" and "Tyre" has been commented upon.[22] The Dilmun civilization thrived in Bahrain during the period 2200-1600 BC, as shown by excavations of settlements and Dilmun burial mounds.

Ancestry DNA is so neat! I had supersizing results as well when I did it early this year!
Cow_woC or not
Wow!! Very informative video. I just received my box today. My dad's Cuban and my mom's Puerto Rican. I definitely think the African and Native American will pop up because of my mom. My dad is really light skinned, I came out looking like him. I'm just wondering how much the percentages of everything will be.
Very exciting. Please create a video once you receive your results or keep me updated. Im curious to know what your exact percentages might be. Seeing as Puerto Rico is the most European island in the Caribbean I feel you might have a lot of European. Maybe your results will be 77 percent Euro. 15 percent Afro. 8 percent Native. These results can vary. Im sure the most euro you'll have is either Italy, Europe west or Iberian. Most Africa possibly from Congo. Might have some Asian, middle eastern depending if your family is true to Europe or mixed. Do you know any family history? Thank you for watching my video though, really appreciate it.
My grandfather on my dad's side tells me that we may have French in our blood. It would be interesting if he's correct. So excited. I just mailed mine today. Can't wait 'til I get mine back.
Awesome information. My mother received nearly 40% Iberian which means your from south France, Spain, Portuguese, or basque when we further processed her DNA it was 40% French nearly half of who she is which was mind blowing. Let me know when you do receive your result, be sure to make a video.
Hey, I got my results today. They come up as 19% African, 5% Native American, and 76% European. The highest percentage of European was Iberian Peninsula at 38%, then 29% Italian/Greece. I was shocked that I didn't have that much Native American.
Also was wondering with the info I have now, how do you upload that to 23andme or Gedcom? Will they charge for it as well?
Al-Hamdulliah good video, viva Morocco and Puerto Rico I will do my DNA test soon and my Turkish wife as well, I'm both Moroccan and Puerto Rican as I said before, people think I'm black and white or Egyptian or straight middle eastern, dad is Moroccan and Mom is Puerto Rican and my wife is from Turkey, inshallah hope to see more videos..

As a half Moroccan I am not surprised at her results. There are Moroccans that descend directly from Arabs, some that descend from Berbers and of course as we are Moroccans, we marry each other so those ancestries mix. Also from colonisation, trade and travel etc. there is European, Jewish ancestry, Iberian and obviously African. I'm waiting for my DNA results so this gave me a clue 😊

Angel Lee that’s simply not true. You need the stop being islamophobic. It’s not good for your health. Muslims are the second largest and the fastest growing religion in the world. Try to accept this reality.
I'm referring to FACTS and HISTORY lmao You're the one that need to accept reality.
Before the Berber were spiritual in their beliefs. Then the Muslim came and those who rejected the fate of the Muslim were killed, it was almost a genocide of the Berber.
because it shows colonization,, and how our language and culture was replaced.

1L0VELY1 If you don't mind me asking what was your results and trace regions?
It is not a surprise that your beautiful wife has some Middle Eastern heritage. North Africa was invaded by Arabs in the 8th and 9th centuries which lead to some mixing with the existing population, and even though the majority did not intermarry, Islam, the Arabic language and Arab culture was widely adopted -- and adapted.
Just a small point about your wife's Jewish DNA: Jews of the Bilad al-Sudan were West African Jewish communities who were connected to known Jewish communities from the Middle East, North Africa, Spain and Portugal. Jews from Spain, Portugal and Morocco also formed communities off the coast of Senegal. It's known that they mixed with Berbers (Amazigh) living in the the South and Moroccan Sahara.
@Kevin Marc
Why is she denying or isn't happy with her result of being Middle Eastern? "Little bit" Middle Eastern 36% is not a "little bit". Like come on Morocco do have Arabic culture and also many speak Arabic language. Did you even not except having Middle Eastern in you? Did you forget umyid empire where many Arabs have moved to morocco and that goes for Moroccans moving to hijaz Arab Peninsula for pilgrim also the moors? Don't forget Arabs who happen to be Semitic race are the oldest race among Jews. Abraham and Hagar lived in Mecca! And the biggest Abrahamic religion started in Middle East. If I was you I'll be happy with my result.
When was my wife ever not happy or denying her Arab/middle eastern roots? When, because maybe I might have missed that or maybe your being ignorant and assuming this reaction. First and foremost, my wife is very happy and proud of her middle eastern roots because she was "SHOCKED" because many Moroccans who do their DNA do not have Middle Eastern or never as high as 36 %. Although morocco has a lot of Arab culture you'll be surprised to know that many have little to none Middle Eastern DNA. My wife overall is very proud of her African roots which is what she is majority as well as her Middle Eastern.
Viewers are so critical and always have something negative to say about everything. Which is very disappointing.
She has no fixation, she proud of what makes her who she is as we all should. Dont be ignorant.
Sarah Alotaibi. I think it's because most Moroccane have very little Middle Eatern DNA. Most of us are more mixed with European/ subsaharan blood than middle eastern blood. Most of us are Amazigh, not arab.
Because Arab identity spreads like a Virus.
A virus that effects many different people from around the world. Today millions of people who are not ethnically or genetically Arab have been misled into believing they're Arab.
When Islam spread, many people in their ignorance adopted Arab identity. Mainly for political gain or social gain because those invading Arabs controlled the administration of those regions. No doubt indigenous people were discriminated against or made to feel their cultural practices and identity were un-islamic. This undoubtedly triggered a language shift to Arabic and an Identity shift which led who many deciding to self-identify as Arab.
Many people from Eastern Arabia (persians), people from the Levant (Phoenicians and other Levantine people's), people from North Africa ( Egyptians(Copts & Ancient Egyptian descendants), Sudanese and Amazigh/Berber) became Arabised as a result of Islamic conquest of their lands.

Listen,
If you have a problem with what I have to say, then refute it and provide your info.
Don't ask me why I'm commenting, ask these African Americans and Saudis and non African people why they're commenting. Majority of comments are from people of different nations all having one interest "Ancestry".
Let's not forget, you're the Anti-Moroccan & Anti-North African person here who insults their own people and claims to be Arab when you tested as 11% and Ancestry would give me almost 40-50%.....
Beautiful mixture you both. I have some Morocco and African. But i am Spanish and Native American basically.
Rebecca Ponce you're beautiful.
mouad mammar Awe, thanks. 😉
Alyaa Mounira Awesome history we have.
What kind of analysis you did at GEDmatch for that breakdown? They have a lot of options and it can be confusing.
I don't think you necessarily have a direct Senegalese ancestor. A lot of North Africans have Senegalese Ancestry because Senegal is close to North Africa.
Meli ssa Yeah, You think ? Maybe so, most North Africans do come across Senegalese but not at such a high percentage. While doing research I remember coming across scientific theory on if a region amounts to 10% or greater then someone, somewhere, in your linage had to have been that full region.
Meli ssa Maybe generally speaking I guess it's like when an individual has a father who is full black & mother who is half black half white ... That person amount to being "a quarter white"
I know what you mean ... North Africa is very mixed, any NA who pretend to be pure Amazigh is wrong.
My aunt took a dna test and she also had Senegalese (I'm part Algerian), another NA, a Tunisian posted her results and had also a significant amount of Senegalese. I just think that most NA have Senegalese and Malian ancestry and that's why we all have a little dna from these particular areas and some probably have more or less than others.
And it's pretty obvious when you look at our families. I have cousins with green eyes and blond hair but also very dark-skinned ones with thick hair.
It's nice to see other NA taking the test, it proves that we're mixed and maybe it'll educate some people that know nothing about their ethnicity.
Do you mind sharing your entire DNA ancestry results, for example: how much African, European etc you are? Thanks I'd appreciate it.
I agree, from what i've seen sofar 10% Senegal is really not that unusual for Moroccans. And it could very well have been inherited from both parents as well as all 4 grandparents or all 8great grandparents even. It's sort of similar to how your husbands Native American % got "recycled" across the generations because this ancestral component is so widely dispersed in the PR genepool.
Bruh I am ( or thought I was) 100 million % Columbian.... I’m 54.6% North African.... 46.7% in the Moroccan and Algerian area 😳😳😳 we cousins!!!

Thanks for watching our video means a lot. Please do a video with you and your husband that'd be awesome to see the diversity I'm sure in both of your results. Knew me posted. Thanks again for watching :)
Kevin, were you not aware that you are an African? I only ask because in your intro you did not mention your African lineage.
I was very aware that I was African always because my fathers family. My father raised us to be proud Afro boricuas. I consider my self Afro Caribbean as I was raised. I knew I had African because my lips, my hair which dreads naturally when very long and my features. I didn't express my African as I wanted to because I was Soley speaking about my Lizardi family and my Sein family which are both European names. My biological name is Karim Sein Lizardi. I knew that once the Lizardi came to Venezulea they married Afro Venezuelans and Afro Ricans once in the island but I don't know much of that family. Also beside my family members being either Muslim, Jewish or Christian a big chunk of them practice Afro Caribbean religion called Santeria so when I had gotten Togo and Nigeria I automatically knew and connected that to my ancestors that came from the both originated voodoo countries into the island of Puerto Rico.
Your wife results are extremely interesting. It truly reflects history!
I agree, her results are very interesting to say the least. Thank you for watching the video.
