Love to hear that Dad wants to go to Africa!! Much of the Continent is incredibly beautiful and should not be missed. Embrace ALL of you Dad! So excited and proud to learn that more Belizeans are doing this. I did it about 8 years ago with my kids who are Garifuna/Jews.

His blood is saying Africa. He is considered Dougla because of the African an Indian mix also. The Punjab is northern India and Bangladesh where one of my grandmother is from. My DNA is very complex like his.
They are seperate enough not have a great chance of having genetic complications. After a few generations the percentage of shared DNA isn't that significant. Unfortunately some people still choose to marry 1st and 2nd cousins and that is a completely different story.
N0! The blood test was for Syphilis, Sickle Cell Anemia, Rubella and such. DNA testing started in 1984. States were already stopping pre-marriage blood tests by that point.
Blood tests were required to ensure viability of offspring, as back then, they didn’t have the tools to intervene if the fetus rejected the mother’s blood type due to Rh factor.
Cousins have same grandparents, 2nd cousins have same great grandparents, 3rd cousins have same great great grandparents. Removed means the cousins child, so not at the same level. Twice removed, means the cousins grandchild. It was quite common in smaller communities and also wealthy communities for 2nd and 3rd cousins to marry. Even first cousins married in some countries (this is called Kissing cousins - eeew!).
@@Hiforest Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip are 2nd cousins through Queen Victoria and 3rd cousins through King Christian IX of Denmark 🇩🇰. KIng Christian IX of Denmark's daughter Princess( later Queen 👑) Alexandra married Albert Edward ( later Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland) Queen Victoria's oldest son and heir ,making them Queen Elizabeth's great grandparents. Queen Alexandra's brothers,who was born Prince Wilhelm of Denmark was chosen to take the Greek throne , becoming George I of Greece and Denmark, King George I was Prince Philip's paternal great grandfather. Prince Philip was born into the Greek Royal Family in 1921, but he renounced his Greek and Danish titles when he married then Princess Elizabeth in 1947.
My daughter and I do genealogy and we've discovered multiple crossovers in her dad's and my family trees. Most are more than 5 generations back but one was just 4. I think it's an unbelievably common occurrence.
Especially when you consider geographic movement isn’t as common as it is now. Most families stayed together in relative proximity and your marriage options were limited to whatever is in your community. Maybe the next town over.
I have ancestors in common with my ex-husband and my current husband. I did not know my husbands until I was an adult. They were both born in different states than me. I met one through work and the other through a blind date.

@@harolddenton6031 Same man. I have thousands of people that im related to that wouldn't even show up on a DNA test. I have several families that came here in the 1630s.
Same thing happened with my husband and I when we did ancestry dna testing. It said we were 4-6 cousin At this point we already have a baby together. No turning back. Just a story I will keep to myself at family functions.
Don’t worry about it. My 4th cousin and I share my 3rd great grandparents. At 4-6th, your connection to your hubby could be sharing 4th or 5th grandparents. That’s like ancestors from 1700s-early 1800. So don’t worry at all. No genetic consequences for your child with it being that far away.
So I looked it up… • 3rd cousin 1x removed - means that her 2nd great grandparents are his 3rd great grandparents • 1/2 3rd cousin - both share a single 2nd great grandparent • 1/2 2nd cousin 2x removed - one of her great grandparents is his 2nd great grandparent • 2nd cousin 3x removed - her great grandparents are his 4th great grandparents.
I have lots of Guyanese American Aunties plus my mom and their cousins, I can't get over how much you sound like all of them. The tone, inflection, and choice of words, phrasing are identical to how they speak. I was surprised when you said you're from Belize because I would have said you were their neighbourhood.
My Guyanese friends can understand me when I speak Creole to them. I hear their accent a tad different than ours, but I can also hear the similarities.
After 11 yrs of watching you both, I just realized Joe and I are cousins. Kin through the bishop side of the family, my family is from Barbados. I’ll love to meet my new found Belizean family!
Geographic location does not defines race or ethnicity. Remember, the Moors were in Spain for almost 800 years, they were also in Italy, England, Portugal and France.
MO, the subject is more connected to origins. I am geographically located in the U. S., but my major origins are West Africa which defines my race and ethnicity. Whereas, my culture as an African-American is based on a combination of upbringing and choice.
A well thought out comment . I am a western Canadian farmer , of mostly western European ancestors . I married the daughter of a native American farmer . Culturally we are " western Canadian farmers" , and have much more in common even with very different origins
Melanated people inhabited many continents .. i dont need a dna test because most of my genealogy was passed down from my grandparents we know are background
It makes sense considering many communities tend to set their roots down in one area and never venture off. If you consider those who come from villages, towns, and small cities but come from big families, it’s not impossible to imagine that everyone ends up being distantly related. I’m not biologically related to my high school friend but we are distantly related because my 1st cousin’s husband is her 1st cousin’s cousin. Basically we’re not at all related but still it shows we’re all tethered together in some way if we trace it far enough. And considering my family until my generation came from small villages in the old country, and everyone had large families, we were all bound to marry one another’s kin. I’ve also found very loose crossover between my cousins from mom side and cousins from dad side. Not blood related to me. They are my cousin’s cousin, but those relatives are not related to me. However they are somehow related to my cousins on the other side of my family tree. It’s fun to find these connections.
Your dear husband is 66% African, according to Ancestry. He is: -Nigerian 24% -Cameron, Congo & Southern Bantu 20% -Benin/Togo 10% -Mali 8% -Ivory Coast/Ghana 4% Total =66% African

@@selassies9783 I think a lot of it is due to not getting a specific country.

It’s like Jamaica girly! People have “outside” pickney that they don’t own. If you’re not careful you have children with your cousin or worse half sibling! 😖 If I marry a Jamaican man one of 1st things I’ll do is a background check. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Rightt... my cousin dated her second cousin and it's when she brought the guy home her mother asked him his background and confirmed it. I'm scared to date inside the manchester, Clarendon, and st. Elizabeth parishes. That's where my families are from and my great grandfather was said to have a "leggo seed". Dem always say him wild bad.
I'm late to watch this, but you should upload your dna results to GEDMatch. They have some neat tools. One is called Are My Parents Related. It would be interesting to see what that shows.
Good video, had me watching till the end. Now going to look for your daughters result video. Not surprised you were related cause you had a lot of results in common. Super cool.
I 've been doing Genealogy for 26 years.. any couple past 3rd cousin (4th and up) is considered "genetically" fine. And where it says 3rd cousin once removed, that means your 3rd cousins.. but are "removed or the next" generation down. It can get confusing so you will need to research this to understand the "removed" thing better. I have 2 sons, they have different fathers. In my research I found, not only are my sons 1/2 siblings.. but they are also 12th cousins. It's not uncommon for couples to find out that they are related a few to several generations back.. especially if both of their families have been living in the same area for a very long time.
"Cousin once removed" could also mean "cousin" if your respective parents are half siblings. My cousin showed up as cousin once removed. In reality we are cousins but our mothers are half sisters.
Really? That doesn't seem right. For example in Korea with Korea being an island, they are very careful when allowing people to marry. They used to have a law prohibiting marriage between people who had the same last name. In some cases you have to prove that you are not related to the person you plan to marry up to the 8th generation. After the 8th generation there's basically no dna in common... But a 3rd or 4th cousin... There's still a lot of common dna between them. Recessive genes can always surprise you too so I'd be careful 😅
Hi @@nillyk5671... No.. 3rd, 2nd, & 1st cousins and most definitely siblings (half or not) should NOT reproduce. 4th, 5th, 6th cousins and so on, are okay. Though 4th generation cousins are still a little close in the gene pool, in most cases reproducing offspring in a 4th generation is like rolling the dice are weather or not your children come out genetically fine. I can understand where in Korea being such a small dense population, they would need to keep generations reproducing further apart. I was referring to genetics in much more larger countries where the genetic pool is more diverse.
@Mariah Fox On Google it says 3rd cousin 1x removed means we share a great great great grandparent in common. We think it's on my dad's mom side and Joe's dad's mom's side. Of course we know nothing about those people. lol

General rule of thumb for cousin marriages: if you don’t grow up going to the same family reunions your most likely distantly related enough that it’s not a problem genetically speaking. From my experience most people know their 1st cousins pretty well and maybe their 1st cousins once removed (your 1st cousins children). But how many people know all of their 2nd cousins or their parents or grandparents 2nd cousins? You don’t normally because that’s a distant relative that has nothing to do with the relatives you care about. You know, the ones you see at family gatherings and holidays. Case in point: my parents found out after they were married and doing genealogy together that my dad was 4th cousins to my mom’s mother making them 4th cousins once removed. None of them had any idea because the people that knew of the connection died a 100 years ago. In other words they grew up going to different family reunions. It’s really common to marry distant relatives unawares especially if you share a similar background of race/ethnicity, religion, and general geographical proximity. Same thing happened to two of my siblings. Their like 5th cousins to their spouses. Genetically it’s nothing because that’s one common ancestor way back when and you have all these other grandparents that are unrelated that are much closer to you. I think people freak out when they find out their distantly related to their significant other because they don’t understand how genetics works and they think any related marriage is automatically incest. Just for your general information incest is when you marry/have sex with a CLOSE RELATIVE. I.E. parents with children, grandparents with grandchildren, uncles/aunts with nieces/nephews, and siblings with each other. Notice cousins are never considered incest because they are not a close enough family member because they have presumably one parent who is not closely related to you. That’s why there are no laws against marriage between cousins. Now some cultures do have taboos against certain types of 1st cousin marriages. Most common is in that cross cousins can marry but parallel can not. A cross cousin is one who’s parents are a different sex then their siblings. So your mother’s brother’s children are your cross cousins. A parallel cousins is who’s parents are the same sex as their siblings. So your mother’s sister’s children are your parallel cousins. The reason that cross cousin marriages are ok and parallel are not is because parallel cousins could be half siblings because their parents could have overtly or covertly bed hoped with their siblings-in-law thus potentially having a cousin who is really your half sibling and so any marriage there could lead to recessive genes causing birth defects in the children. Another form of 1st cousin marriages that should be avoided at all cost no matter your families culture (no really I’m not kidding here) is double cousins. Double cousins are when two siblings marry another set of two siblings. (Like in Jane Austen’s “Emma” when the Woodhouse sisters marry the Knightly brothers from next door). Their children would be double cousins. They share the same two sets of grandparents as their 1st cousins. Most of the time people only share one set of grandparents as their cousins but in this case of double cousins they don’t thus significantly closing the gene pool and making any marriages between these 1st cousins as dangerous as marriage between siblings. It’s not good. Don’t marry your double cousins I mean it🙅♀️ Thanks for coming to my TED TALK🤓
I was trying to find my biological Grandfather, without any information. Just trying to narrow it down with DNA. I kept running into names I knew was on my Grandma's side. Finally after 3 family members did tests, I figured out they were related several generations back. They hooked up during WW2, from completely different states. 🤣
The "once removed" means the person is one generation further up or down the tree than you are; likewise, "twice removed" means two generations up or down the tree. My cousin's granddaughter is my first cousin twice removed (1C2R).
remember that each group actually has a % range due to ancestry running the test 40 times. Also remember that it only shows what you've actually inherited. You get 50% from each parent but it's a random 50% and your sibling could get an entirely different 50%. You can lose a connection to your ancestors as quick as 2nd great grandparents. This is all on the videos on youtube of course.
@@Uber1937 You are incorrect. You're only guaranteed a DNA connection to your parents. You could actually technically not have any DNA from one or more of your grandparents. If your dad's 50% comes from only his dad and you get the DNA from your mom that came from only her dad. You could in fact not have any DNA connection to both your grandmothers. Go watch Ancestry's video's they clearly say you could have no genetic connection to one or more of your 2nd great grand parents. This is why DNA results can only go so far back. I'm a genealogist and I deal with Yale genetics dept on a regular basis.
LOL I love how you're shocked that he showed up on yours as a 4th cousin with the same percentages. Did you think being related can work only in one direction or something?
Wow excellent video! Good job and very interesting. Funny thing my beautiful girlfriend and I have discovered we share a common relative in our bloodline... our 6th g grandmother's were sisters... they were mixed race born in Rockingham County, Virginia in the 1780s and gained their freedom in Ohio by 1817 by their white father who is our 7th g grandfather. He purchased land for one of them in Darke County which is on the Ohio/Indiana border called Longtown, Ohio. This area is now a very historical location as a mixed race settlement and a stop on the Underground Railroad and also created a integrated school way before the Civil War called the Union Literally Institute in Randolph County, Indiana. Fast forward 233 yrs later since those two g grandmothers were born in Virginia and my girlfriend and I never knew each other until we accidentally met in 2017 while volunteering in Texas where we now both live which is several states away from Ohio and the rest is history.
@@Msboochie2 yes amazing indeed at first it was kinda embarrassing or awkward if you will. How could such a thing happen so far away from our home State of Ohio... me falling in love with a distant cousin who, I never knew... but seriously it was the forces that pulled us together.
If yourself and Joe are both Belizean, like any small population territory very similar to the Caribbean Islands the rate on familial connections will be higher as the gene pool of new partners reduces.
My husband is my 6th cousin 1x removed. We share a great grandfather, his 4th and my 5th. Didn't need DNA, just did the family tree. Didn't find this out until we'd been married 10 years. If you're born and raised in the same area, you run this risk.
No need to panic. Once past 3rd cousin... technically... you're not related anymore. 3rd cousins can marry. People have married their 1st cousins...frowned upon, not idea, but it has happened. A cousin down the line once removed isn't a relative anymore.
My grandfather's mom and my grandmother's 1/2 sister's mom were sisters. In the AncestryDNA it doesn't refer to my grandmother's sister as my grand or great aunt, it refers to her as 1st cousin once removed. So although she's removed, she's still my cousin because she's my grandfather's cousin. I think the remove thing has to do with how far up the chain the relative is and if they are half relative.
Its super common for married couples to be about 5th cousins; I found out my parents are distant cousins in multiple ways, 7th, 8th & 10th (plus more as they both descend from royalty)
@@iwantapieceofpie Who the H@** are you telling me to calm down, i am calm. Just kidding lol. But really people are free to make a point on youtube so chill. No worries.
When i was a kid everybody always asked me and my older sister where we got our hair from. We both have red hair and our parents both had jet black hair back then. In short i have red hair because my paternal grandmother was a red head and on my mother's side one of my 3x great grandmother's was a red head and her paternal line is Scots Irish.
Third and fourth cousins per studies produce babies with fewer birth defects, and higher IQ and pregnancy is when a lower mortality rate. Congratulations. Nothing wrong with this 💗☀️🍃🌈
@Candy • 2 years ago it was an interesting study. I think when it comes to Rh negatives marrying closer in the family ensures a Rh negative match, with reduced infant mortality. However I would recommend genetic testing prior to conceiving for all couples.
In doing my family's genealogy, I discovered that my parents are actually distant cousins. An ancestor on my Maternal side married an ancestor on my Paternal side.
I did Ancestry and 23 and me and in both me and my wife are 3rd cousins. I have a pretty complete family tree with all my great great great grandparents and still don't know where we are connected. However, she hardly knows anything about her great-grandparents and above that.
Oh My I was looking at your screen while I was watching U while I was doing some ancestry and i saw your husband's last name Grinage and decided to see if I have any Grinages in my tree I do have Lois Grinage in my tree who knows We might be related
It’s a very common fear. And your fear is valid ❤️ but really, they only use this dna to help cold cases. But they can’t really use it “against you”. I hope I helped.
#1 We know “this is America”, #2 I give ZERO FUX about your “frustrations”. TF off my post. Not one person asked you for your BS. I said wtf I said. FOH. 🙄
You "feel" like they have a DNA database? Honey that's quite literally the point. It does all go in a database and frankly the concern that that information could be potentially misused is not uncommon and frankly not that unrealistic. It is a gamble to do these things.
Your husband surname 'Grinage' originally came from Kent in South England, where they held a family seat as 'Lords of the Manor'. This information can be found on the webpage 'House of Names', under the subtitile ' Grinage History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms.
I don't think any of us had any interest in looking up the name. It's only my name by marriage and my husband had never been excited to know more. The grandma on that side of the family didn't like the set of grandkids from my mother-in-law, so I think that's the reason for the disinterest. He said thanks for the info though. We'll share it with our kids.
This is more common than you think, my husband and I share three relatives one of them puts us seventeen generations from each other. It's actually scientific as to why it happens the survival of the fittest and ensuring the species stuff. The one is Huron (Johanneson) and the other two, are shared cousins Jim Thorpe and Jimmy Stewart.
This sort of happened to me . We found all kinds of connections in my grandparents families in colonial era . But the weirdest was that my ex husband the father of my children , is related to my grandmothers adopted parents ! So my ex husband is related to my great grandparents and I’m not . My kids are related to my great grandparents and I’m not ! What a world !
I'd like to do a DNA test because I NEVER met my father...have only seen one small photo of him...& know nothing about that whole side of my ancestry (he'd be dead by now...he was older when he fathered me & had a whole other family!- but I'm still curious!)
My kid got his done. Turns out he is cousins with my Brother in law's sister. The rest of the family haven't taken their tests to see who is related to whom or how but it seems like there was a pile of teepee creeping in that little corner of Newfoundland back in the day.
I found out after 3 kids, 6 grandkids & 45 years married that my husband & I are fourth cousins.

So I looked it up…
• 3rd cousin 1x removed - means that her 2nd great grandparents are his 3rd great grandparents
• 1/2 3rd cousin - both share a single 2nd great grandparent
• 1/2 2nd cousin 2x removed - one of her great grandparents is his 2nd great grandparent
• 2nd cousin 3x removed - her great grandparents are his 4th great grandparents.

I have lots of Guyanese American Aunties plus my mom and their cousins, I can't get over how much you sound like all of them. The tone, inflection, and choice of words, phrasing are identical to how they speak. I was surprised when you said you're from Belize because I would have said you were their neighbourhood.
My Guyanese friends can understand me when I speak Creole to them. I hear their accent a tad different than ours, but I can also hear the similarities.
I came here to say the same thing. I’m half Guyanese and grew up in Scarborough where I heard that accent all the time.

Geographic location does not defines race or ethnicity. Remember, the Moors were in Spain for almost 800 years, they were also in Italy, England, Portugal and France.
MO, the subject is more connected to origins. I am geographically located in the U. S., but my major origins are West Africa which defines my race and ethnicity. Whereas, my culture as an African-American is based on a combination of upbringing and choice.
A well thought out comment . I am a western Canadian farmer , of mostly western European ancestors . I married the daughter of a native American farmer . Culturally we are " western Canadian farmers" , and have much more in common even with very different origins

It makes sense considering many communities tend to set their roots down in one area and never venture off. If you consider those who come from villages, towns, and small cities but come from big families, it’s not impossible to imagine that everyone ends up being distantly related. I’m not biologically related to my high school friend but we are distantly related because my 1st cousin’s husband is her 1st cousin’s cousin. Basically we’re not at all related but still it shows we’re all tethered together in some way if we trace it far enough. And considering my family until my generation came from small villages in the old country, and everyone had large families, we were all bound to marry one another’s kin.
I’ve also found very loose crossover between my cousins from mom side and cousins from dad side. Not blood related to me. They are my cousin’s cousin, but those relatives are not related to me. However they are somehow related to my cousins on the other side of my family tree. It’s fun to find these connections.
Your dear husband is 66% African, according to Ancestry. He is:
-Nigerian 24%
-Cameron, Congo & Southern Bantu 20%
-Benin/Togo 10%

Total =66% African
I love that the husband is talking abt Africa & the wife & daughter are concentrating on the lesser percentages😄
@@frmtheBkstore Don't read anything into it. We weren't sure about the Indian parts of him because we don't always know who was telling the truth. His mom is half Indian and he is quarter so that's why that was exciting to us.
He is 67% African, we added it up after we stopped recording and corrected it in the next video which was Jada's results. We opened the results on camera so and not in advanced. He expected that percentage to be higher, but he didn't factor in the Indian he got from his mom's side.

@@selassies9783 I think a lot of it is due to not getting a specific country. I mean for the longest I had “Cameroon, Congo, Western Bantu Peoples” and it just didn’t translate to folk who had no clue. Luckily that’s changed from Ivory Coast to now Nigeria at 34% and holding steady, 27% of the C,C,WBP whatever that means and 14% Scottish. I don’t have a clue where that came from.
And that’s why it’s important to know who you are so you don’t marry your cousin or anybody else.
If you look, everyone is related. Homo sapiens were down to a single tribe back in the ice age. And if you look further everything with dna/rna is related. Like the last time your dna was with eacother you were direct family. So when you smoosh that roach your killing your 1000000000ish cousin

I'm late to watch this, but you should upload your dna results to GEDMatch. They have some neat tools. One is called Are My Parents Related. It would be interesting to see what that shows.
Oh I did that one and my parents had no genetic relatedness whatsoever even beyond the 10th generation. It was somehow so satisfying to know that 😂
Good video, had me watching till the end. Now going to look for your daughters result video. Not surprised you were related cause you had a lot of results in common. Super cool.
I 've been doing Genealogy for 26 years.. any couple past 3rd cousin (4th and up) is considered "genetically" fine. And where it says 3rd cousin once removed, that means your 3rd cousins.. but are "removed or the next" generation down. It can get confusing so you will need to research this to understand the "removed" thing better. I have 2 sons, they have different fathers. In my research I found, not only are my sons 1/2 siblings.. but they are also 12th cousins. It's not uncommon for couples to find out that they are related a few to several generations back.. especially if both of their families have been living in the same area for a very long time.
Would you be interested in being part of a documentary?
"Cousin once removed" could also mean "cousin" if your respective parents are half siblings. My cousin showed up as cousin once removed. In reality we are cousins but our mothers are half sisters.
Really? That doesn't seem right. For example in Korea with Korea being an island, they are very careful when allowing people to marry. They used to have a law prohibiting marriage between people who had the same last name. In some cases you have to prove that you are not related to the person you plan to marry up to the 8th generation. After the 8th generation there's basically no dna in common... But a 3rd or 4th cousin... There's still a lot of common dna between them. Recessive genes can always surprise you too so I'd be careful 😅
Hi @@nillyk5671... No.. 3rd, 2nd, & 1st cousins and most definitely siblings (half or not) should NOT reproduce. 4th, 5th, 6th cousins and so on, are okay. Though 4th generation cousins are still a little close in the gene pool, in most cases reproducing offspring in a 4th generation is like rolling the dice are weather or not your children come out genetically fine.
I can understand where in Korea being such a small dense population, they would need to keep generations reproducing further apart. I was referring to genetics in much more larger countries where the genetic pool is more diverse.
Anything after a second cousin. 3rd cousin barely shares any blood
The u guys being related is not surprising seeing how small Belize is 😂
For real right? We’ve just never had not even one cousin in common. It’s trippy,
@Mariah Fox On Google it says 3rd cousin 1x removed means we share a great great great grandparent in common. We think it's on my dad's mom side and Joe's dad's mom's side. Of course we know nothing about those people. lol

You all have a great attitude! Thank you for sharing.
General rule of thumb for cousin marriages: if you don’t grow up going to the same family reunions your most likely distantly related enough that it’s not a problem genetically speaking.
From my experience most people know their 1st cousins pretty well and maybe their 1st cousins once removed (your 1st cousins children). But how many people know all of their 2nd cousins or their parents or grandparents 2nd cousins? You don’t normally because that’s a distant relative that has nothing to do with the relatives you care about. You know, the ones you see at family gatherings and holidays.
Case in point: my parents found out after they were married and doing genealogy together that my dad was 4th cousins to my mom’s mother making them 4th cousins once removed. None of them had any idea because the people that knew of the connection died a 100 years ago. In other words they grew up going to different family reunions.
It’s really common to marry distant relatives unawares especially if you share a similar background of race/ethnicity, religion, and general geographical proximity. Same thing happened to two of my siblings. Their like 5th cousins to their spouses. Genetically it’s nothing because that’s one common ancestor way back when and you have all these other grandparents that are unrelated that are much closer to you. I think people freak out when they find out their distantly related to their significant other because they don’t understand how genetics works and they think any related marriage is automatically incest.
Just for your general information incest is when you marry/have sex with a CLOSE RELATIVE. I.E. parents with children, grandparents with grandchildren, uncles/aunts with nieces/nephews, and siblings with each other. Notice cousins are never considered incest because they are not a close enough family member because they have presumably one parent who is not closely related to you. That’s why there are no laws against marriage between cousins.
Now some cultures do have taboos against certain types of 1st cousin marriages. Most common is in that cross cousins can marry but parallel can not. A cross cousin is one who’s parents are a different sex then their siblings. So your mother’s brother’s children are your cross cousins. A parallel cousins is who’s parents are the same sex as their siblings. So your mother’s sister’s children are your parallel cousins. The reason that cross cousin marriages are ok and parallel are not is because parallel cousins could be half siblings because their parents could have overtly or covertly bed hoped with their siblings-in-law thus potentially having a cousin who is really your half sibling and so any marriage there could lead to recessive genes causing birth defects in the children.
Another form of 1st cousin marriages that should be avoided at all cost no matter your families culture (no really I’m not kidding here) is double cousins. Double cousins are when two siblings marry another set of two siblings. (Like in Jane Austen’s “Emma” when the Woodhouse sisters marry the Knightly brothers from next door). Their children would be double cousins. They share the same two sets of grandparents as their 1st cousins. Most of the time people only share one set of grandparents as their cousins but in this case of double cousins they don’t thus significantly closing the gene pool and making any marriages between these 1st cousins as dangerous as marriage between siblings. It’s not good. Don’t marry your double cousins I mean it🙅♀️
Thanks for coming to my TED TALK🤓
I love the dna exploration. It is fun
I was trying to find my biological Grandfather, without any information. Just trying to narrow it down with DNA. I kept running into names I knew was on my Grandma's side. Finally after 3 family members did tests, I figured out they were related several generations back. They hooked up during WW2, from completely different states. 🤣
I am doing the same. Come to find out bio grandpa was adopted to. Trying to figure that one out now
The "once removed" means the person is one generation further up or down the tree than you are; likewise, "twice removed" means two generations up or down the tree. My cousin's granddaughter is my first cousin twice removed (1C2R).
remember that each group actually has a % range due to ancestry running the test 40 times. Also remember that it only shows what you've actually inherited. You get 50% from each parent but it's a random 50% and your sibling could get an entirely different 50%. You can lose a connection to your ancestors as quick as 2nd great grandparents. This is all on the videos on youtube of course.
Siempre queda rastro no se pierde nunca.
@@Uber1937 You are incorrect. You're only guaranteed a DNA connection to your parents. You could actually technically not have any DNA from one or more of your grandparents. If your dad's 50% comes from only his dad and you get the DNA from your mom that came from only her dad. You could in fact not have any DNA connection to both your grandmothers. Go watch Ancestry's video's they clearly say you could have no genetic connection to one or more of your 2nd great grand parents. This is why DNA results can only go so far back. I'm a genealogist and I deal with Yale genetics dept on a regular basis.

Wow excellent video! Good job and very interesting.
Funny thing my beautiful girlfriend and I have discovered we share a common relative in our bloodline... our 6th g grandmother's were sisters... they were mixed race born in Rockingham County, Virginia in the 1780s and gained their freedom in Ohio by 1817 by their white father who is our 7th g grandfather. He purchased land for one of them in Darke County which is on the Ohio/Indiana border called Longtown, Ohio. This area is now a very historical location as a mixed race settlement and a stop on the Underground Railroad and also created a integrated school way before the Civil War called the Union Literally Institute in Randolph County, Indiana.
Fast forward 233 yrs later since those two g grandmothers were born in Virginia and my girlfriend and I never knew each other until we accidentally met in 2017 while volunteering in Texas where we now both live which is several states away from Ohio and the rest is history.
Wow! Amazing.

My husband is my 6th cousin 1x removed. We share a great grandfather, his 4th and my 5th. Didn't need DNA, just did the family tree. Didn't find this out until we'd been married 10 years. If you're born and raised in the same area, you run this risk.
Some bright spark worked it out that we are 15 times separated from each other how cool is that
Made me laugh. Great video 🙌🏽♥️
Awesome conclusion 👌 I think that is why many people are not ready to know
Oh my!!! Belize is so small!!
I think it’s a pretty common thing to happen. Nothing you can do about it now, just live your life and enjoy what you’ve created 💕
No need to panic. Once past 3rd cousin... technically... you're not related anymore. 3rd cousins can marry. People have married their 1st cousins...frowned upon, not idea, but it has happened. A cousin down the line once removed isn't a relative anymore.
My grandfather's mom and my grandmother's 1/2 sister's mom were sisters. In the AncestryDNA it doesn't refer to my grandmother's sister as my grand or great aunt, it refers to her as 1st cousin once removed. So although she's removed, she's still my cousin because she's my grandfather's cousin. I think the remove thing has to do with how far up the chain the relative is and if they are half relative.
Everyone is related but it depends on how close
It is perfectly legal for first cousins to marry first cousins.
Nice video. Thanks.
Its super common for married couples to be about 5th cousins; I found out my parents are distant cousins in multiple ways, 7th, 8th & 10th (plus more as they both descend from royalty)

The boys feel the same way. lol
It’s a very common fear. And your fear is valid ❤️ but really, they only use this dna to help cold cases. But they can’t really use it “against you”. I hope I helped.
#1 We know “this is America”, #2 I give ZERO FUX about your “frustrations”. TF off my post. Not one person asked you for your BS. I said wtf I said. FOH. 🙄
They'll only use it against you if at some point you cormit murder or another serious crime.
You "feel" like they have a DNA database? Honey that's quite literally the point. It does all go in a database and frankly the concern that that information could be potentially misused is not uncommon and frankly not that unrealistic. It is a gamble to do these things.
Your husband surname 'Grinage' originally came from Kent in South England, where they held a family seat as 'Lords of the Manor'. This information can be found on the webpage 'House of Names', under the subtitile ' Grinage History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms.
I don't think any of us had any interest in looking up the name. It's only my name by marriage and my husband had never been excited to know more. The grandma on that side of the family didn't like the set of grandkids from my mother-in-law, so I think that's the reason for the disinterest. He said thanks for the info though. We'll share it with our kids.
