About 2 years ago I started researching my DNA and my ancestry. I was shocked at the results. First, I found out that one of my direct ancestors was killed in the Salem Witch Trials. Then I discovered a lot of Northwestern European ancestry. I knew I have a ton of English ancestry but had no clue about the Scandinavian heritage. I dug deeper into that and was able to trace back to some direct ancestors that were Vikings in various areas in Northwest Europe. Pretty cool. I also found distant relationships to some well known historical figures, including some unsavory ones. My True Ancestry was one of the tools I used and once I learned how to use it was a great resource. For a history teacher like myself it has been amazing to see my family history!
Wow thanks for sharing! It's so exciting to link our ancestors to events in history (the good and the bad). Salem Witch Trials and Vikings are both exciting finds. It reminds us that these stories aren't just about distant people and times, but about our own families. Thanks for watching my video ☺
I was adopted from Poland and my closet populations on My true Ancestry are the Kievan Rus and Early Slavs. My deep dive matches include Swedish Vikings, Baltic tribes, Kievan Rus, Early Slavs, Scythian, Sarmatians, Longobards, Saxons, and Ostrogoths. I am also 1/4 Lithuanian.
Yo I got Scythian as well, and would you know where that would come from, on my yt I got my vids on it, would the Scythian come from east European cause I got the same percentage on my heritage dna as on my true ancestry, or could it have come from the Middle East? Cause if you are east European maybe it came from there
I always wondered about that part of my lineage. I am mostly of Mexican decent with North Native American, British/Irish, Ashkenazi Jewish and Afrolatino admixture. I have Royal lineage to the Arpad Dynasty which is the same area and tribes you mentioned! I am trying to see the connection and read that the Arpad Dynasty male descendants ended up in Austria in which spread to France and Spain. Then on top of that one of the males from the Dynasty is said to end up in Scotland with the Drummond clan. So Eastern Europe spreaded all over the place. Most of them are in Poland and Hungary and are Polish and Hungarian. I come in the mix and ended up being Mexican generation later. Like more than 10 generations later. I am not an expert and there is so much more I left out but it all makes sense now. As far as being a history buff I am going to the Frida Kahlo exhibit in my area which as we all know a famous Mexican Artist. Her father was of Hungarian decent. Interesting! There are so many connections!
I noticed my Gedmatch DNA matches with this Mytrueancestry. I am mostly of Native American decent along with Spanish, Askenzi Jewish and British ancestry sprinkled in. Through this I found out my European side didn't become Spanish until the year 1100 AD. Before they were an amalgamation of Gothic, Hun, Baltic, Indo Iranian and Turkic tribes. Amazing!
My results were similar being from the American South. 70% Germanic, 30% Celtic. Almost all my ancestors came from Northern England and some Lowland Scotland. I was a very close modern match to the Southeast England.
I submitted my test from ancestry to my true ancestry and most interesting result being some my ancestors were vikings who settled Iceland & Greenland. I'm of mostly English, German and Irish descent who lives on the East coast of the US.
U know first inhabittant uk and irish are not viking. And actual scandinavia was first inhabitted by suomi, were settled by a population came of actual danish frison north germany. Scandinavian dna marker is not former.
Part of my Sephardic Jewish Spanish line was in Mexico and I get same message on no American samples but it says note our tests detect some native American ancestry not enough to sample match but its cool I got 3% on ancestry. My main ancient populations are Greek Hittite Levant and Roman no Celtic or saxon. I upgraded to Odyssey now I am hooked.
Did you have to upgrade to see about the Native American⁉️ Can you tell me where You Found that in these pages🥰 Thank You So Much❣️ I Would Greatly Appreciate It‼️ Take Care❤️
Wow!!! Those are some great matches!!!! It's a one time payment when you upgrade so you can take your time with it. They often have specials on different subscriptions so worth keeping an eye out :)
Hi, also from Australia and me too. I love MyTrueAncestry. Interestingly Vanessa you have the same shape face as mine, apart from our chin. My eyes are pale blue. So hi fellow Viking cousin. I'm mostly Norwegian Viking, but also Swedish and Danish Viking. Philip Calvert is America, you match him & the Y-DNA is their DNA, (the excavated ones) look at the FAQ section it tells you about that. Excellent analysis, much better than mine :D
@@VanessaBland Yes. Especially those modern results sound as expected. The closest is East_Finnish and it is much closer than other ref. populations. For to compare, FTDNA Origins v3 says 89% Finnish and 11% Eeast Slavic. It makes sense.
I got a match to Merovingian nobility and also pretty much all of the royalty in Europe - especially Scottish, Irish, and descent from the line of Rurik like the entire Romanoff line... plus I am seriously Viking.... I was really surprised 😊
I got a lot of the same.. Merovingian Noble, lots of Viking, most of Europe Royalty. It just means we come from the same "H" haplo group. Most of W.European DNA is H. I was so amazed like you until I found this out LOL!
On another note, I think it's a terrible trick to play on people to make them think they are directly/closely related to these groups. It's a money magnet for these sites.
@@jesusslushies2192 well it tells you how many SNPS you share with these groups--- like actual DNA snips and the percentage of relation that makes you .. if you know how to read the results then you aren't fooled into thinking that you are massively close... it also tells you the time period that those matches were alive... if you just have some sim I lar generic European DNA then that of course just means you share a common ancestor... if you have actual segments of DNA in common and are we closer than 4 or 5 to them then they were your ancestors.... I was not foolish enough to think that I was closely related although being fro. The De LA Poer, Powers, Lawson, and other family lines I already knew I had connections to them from my genealogy and historical work... like 1000 and 500 years ago our family lost our lands etc for following the Jacobite cause etc.... depends which branch you look into but Elizabeth pretty much banished several of my ancestors and etc... the results I got were in line with known family history now that I have found my father's side .... I agree though that unless you know how to read these results they can be confused.
I am German from Lower Saxony but i have some scandinavian ancestry so mine made sense i guesse, Scythian is cool Viking Danish + Scythian (4.259) Scythian + Ostrogoth (4.473) Ostrogoth + Gepid (5.074) Scythian + Frank (5.326) Viking Danish + Ostrogoth (5.519) Ostrogoth (6.952) Gepid (9.502) Scythian (9.84) Viking Danish (10.88) Frank (10.89)
@robertolang9684 what I posted was not my full ancient breakdown those were my closest ones. Nobody is faking ancestry that is embarrassing. I’m German from the north with full Scandinavian ancestors in the last 4-5 generations so I’ll be much more skewed away from Celtic than a southern German or what not.
Thanks for sharing. I think you need to look at genetic distance. You should be able to place yourself through the ages if you look at those estimates. You can discover your principal Bronze and Iron age origins. I think it could be really interesting.
Great video. While watching I noticed we matched on several of the DNA spotlight matches: Scythian, Celt Gladiators, Vikings, Birka, Le Mans France, Winthrop, Calvert and more I’m sure - we have to be related!
I'm very Celtic according to MyTrueancestry. If you were to add up the pie chart of the percentages of my matching samples it's over 75% Celt. Deep dive pie chart is higher at over 82% Celt Celt + Celtic Dobunni (6.001) Celt + Anglo Saxon (6.141) Celt + Briton (6.569) Celt + Gael (6.846) Celt (6.854) Briton + Anglo Saxon (7.195) Briton (7.893) Anglo Saxon (8.053) Celtic Dobunni (8.764) Gael (8.985)
I got Scordiscii, Panonian Illyrian, Gaul , Thuriggi , and Germanic Cherusi . My family is all from Mexico and Scotland. My closest modern populations are all in Spain and France.
Interesting. I'm mixed race and looks like I shared some Scottish Royalty too and kin to the royalty of France. But I do have a lot of Southern Europe in Spain, Italy and Greece. I was told of my dad's side Spanish roots so that did make sense.
Just from the start of the video, you look quite English, but with something else too! This looks like an interesting alternative to the other ancestry websites I've heard of
Thank You.. yes Very Helpful!! Yes my DNA said something about having Egyptian.. I'm American. I was so upset at first!! I am supposed to have Native American.. is why my twin sister my Mom my G.Ma and G.G.Ma and others on Mom's side has black hair.. I have light brown, blonde as a child and young adult. But I am over it. Heard this is only 1% of our DNA anyway and is guesstimates only and for fun. So IDK.. I do want to know More and More now❣️ So I Really Appreciate Your Sharing and All your Help❣️ Thank You So Very Much❤️ Take Care
Yes, these are just estimates of your ethnicity. They are fun and helpful, but it's great to do other research as well to look at your more recent ancestors. Have you tried to build a family tree yet? America has great records for tracing your ancestry. Thanks for the comment :)
Hi I saw ur video and give it a tried. Your video is Good explaining and very informative :-) my ancient population was Viking, saxon, celt, longoboards, norwegian viking. My civilization breakdown was longobard, viking sweden, saxon, celt, briton, viking danish, vandal, frank and celtic dobunni. My Y-Dna breakdown had 9 royalty country and 19+ diffrent clans. My mtdna breakdown i had royalty country 25 and 70+ diffrent clans. Its was alot of info. I was hoping i would be related to ancient romans, but i got viking 😃. I think the site was good but hard to understand it all. Think all connection for me it way way back 😀. Nice video
After watching this video, I'm now convinced that we're cousins lol. We appear to have very similar results, though you're more Celtic than I am. I'm about 90% Germanic with the bulk of it being Saxon, Viking, then Frank. The rest of my DNA is Celtic.
Is the toothbrush your wand 😆😁 Nice Results👍 Seem like we got quite simmilar Genetic distance to archaeological finds. For example got about the same Genetic Distance to the Lombards as you. Beeing around 100% Scandinavian i wonder if also the Saxons and Franks originated from Scandinavia🤔
Ancient: Svear + Kievan Rus (11.89) Viking + Kievan Rus (11.9) Viking + Scythian (12.24) Viking + Svear (12.92) Viking + Early Slav (13.53) Viking (14.15) Kievan Rus (16.19) Scythian (17.0) Svear (17.16) Early Slav (19.03) Modern: East_Finnish (6.509) Finnish (8.593) Estonian (12.02) Kargopol_Russian (12.49) Southwest_Finnish (12.87) Ukrainian (14.27) Erzya (15.12) Polish (15.35) These results of my father were a huge surprise to us. FTDNA tells he is a 100% Finnish. I guess there's still some Viking blood running in Finnish veins as well even though we aren't thought to have anything to do with Vikings. My mother also has strong Viking results and she's also 100% Finnish according to FTDNA. Fun and interesting findings.
Hey! I recently uploaded my DNA to my true ancestry and I was considering getting an upgrade, but I have one question: Are the upgrades only one payment or is it like a monthly subscription?
Yours and my results are almost identical. I'm even related to the Birka Shield maiden, like you. The only difference is that I appear to be (in addition to the Celtic) mostly Danish. Which would make sense because my last name is from Yorkshire and my family is from there. Danelaw and what not. Lots of Danish in these veins. Really enjoyed your video, potential ... cousin? I have no idea lmao. We're related SOME HOW.
I have a question what does Saint martin Zousteeg, New Colonial Mexico Cityslave trade victim and Colonial Pamaná Viejo coco del mar mean in My True Ancestry?i know have caribbean and south and central american ancestry, does it mean have ancestry grom ssid places.
@@Porkchopapii I couldn't say about those specific samples as I don't know their history, but it means that you share DNA with those individuals. It may be that you both share a very distant ancestor, or a close relative. Shared DNA doesn't necessarily mean you have ancestry from the places, it just means you both have shared origins. I hope that helps!
I did Gedmatch and I share DNA with Brazilians, which is awesome!!! 23andme 78.1%Hausa Nigerian + 21.9% Brazilian=3.39 AncestryDNA 92.9%African American + 7.1%Brazilian=2.57 Oracle 4 population Brazilian+Pedi + Biaka pygmies +Mbuti pygmies =2.57 do I really share Brazilian ancestry with Brazilian 🇧🇷.
And do have Caribbean ancestry from Dominican and Barbados from Gedmatch. AncestryDNA 88% ACB30 + 12% Aragon(Spanish) =0.47 23andme 86.2%ACB30 + 13.8% Aragon(Spanish)=0.8 Oracle 4 African american + African Caribbean Dominican + Kongo=3
Hey Vanessa, I really liked your video. It was interesting to see your results! I did the test as well, but there´s one thing I do not understand. For me, my closest ancient population is also Saxon + Frank (2.975). However, when I look at the ancient sample results (full civilization breakdown and ancient sample breakdown), Celt is the biggest (30.3%) while Saxon being 19,5% and Frank 5.76%. I do not understand this, am a most Saxon + Frank or Celt? Perhaps you understand how to interpret this? Thanks in advance!
Hi! Thanks for watching :) Sounds like you have similar results to mine. I also have Saxon and Frank as my closest, but in the breakdown section, my top two are Saxon and then Celt. I think the breakdown is a lot more similar to an Ancestry breakdown, where they are looking at single populations. Whereas the Ancient populations seems to be the most likely combinations of more than one population. The distinction here is tiny but if you've ever used GEDmatch Oracle, it has a similar technique (I have a video on Oracle if you want to check it out). So perhaps if your DNA sample is compared to all of their results, you most closely match the Celt sample. But assuming you are not absolutely pure Celt, you're a person who has mixed ancestry (as we all do) the combination of Saxon and Frank is the closest match. Does that make sense? I should make a dedicated video to this question, it's a good one!
Maybe they get more samples of the celtic region and u match to more ppl there but your dna matches cM and distance is closser in anglo saxan but they maybe have les samples on the anglo saxan side
It's certainly a lot of information which can seem overwhelming. Take your time exploring the site and learning what each section means. This video was really just an overview, I'll look into doing some follow ups that go into the details. Thanks for the comment :)
My modern population results were similar to my K15 results. MTA: Tuscans, Greeks_Thessaly, Italians_Abruzzo, Albanians_Tosk, Italians_North, Sicilians_West, Kosovars, and Greeks_Central. K15: Tuscans, Greeks_Thessaly, North Italians, Italians_Abruzzo, Sicilians_West, Romanians, Greeks_Central, Sicilians_East.
The only bummer part about MTA is that if you are Northern European you are not going to find very much global variety in your results, even if you purchase thousands of samples. This is because of the overwhelming amount of Northern European samples in the database. Also, often for one archaeological site there are many samples and they are all related, so that also takes from your sample allotment.
MTA have samples from all over the world, but if you are Northern European then it makes sense that your samples generally reflect that area. Not sure why that would be a bummer though, plenty of fascinating populations in Europe!
@@VanessaBland I'm American. I already have African and Native American samples at MTA, but overwhelmingly they are European. I also have some "ghost samples" on my Americas map (I already figured out one is Amerindian from Mexico and the other is Iroquois from Canada). But to truly unlock these more distant samples will have to pay for a lot more samples (possibly 1000 or more). That's what frustrates me. I know there is global diversity in my DNA but my sample matches (I'm up to 1500 now) are bogged down in Northern Europe. Out of 1500 samples, none of them have more genetic distance than 15.
@@edfred Ahh I understand now! You're right that they have many European samples and fewer in other regions. So yeah, you'll probably have skewed matches if you have some mixed heritage. Hopefully as they continue to add new samples, it will build up other areas too!
I recently did a DNA test and I've been trying a few websites, but it' so... inconclusive? I share a few cm of some of my chromosomes with people and samples all over the place and in different eras... It's really hard to track or make any sense out of it. I'm Brazilian and my grandma is Indian (that gives me: 22.8% Mesoamerican and Andean). From my grandfather and father's part of the family, I don't know much about it. The rest of MyHeritageDna results are: Iberian 61.2%, West Asian (Turkey and Iran) 6%, Italian 4.8%, Irish Scottish and Welsh 3.5% and Baltic 1.7%. On modern populations at MyTrueAncestry I got basically: Portuguese, Spanish and North Italian. Closest ancient population: Illyrians. The ancient sample breakdown shows 20 different 'people', while the ancient deep dive shows five: Gallo-Romans, Romans, Illyrians, Al-Andalus and Phoenicians. There're matches with: Oetzi, Crusader Knight French/ Lebanon/ Tuscan, Le Mans Revolutionary France (H46, K1c1, H79a), Viking Age England, Skeleton Lake, Roman Gladiators, Guanches, Carolingian Empire, Ancient Britain, King Louis XVI and Jean-Paul Marat. So... What does it mean? What do I take from that? Any lights? It's curious to me what I don't have according to MyHeritageDna: 0% African, French, German, Jew, English...?
You have an interesting mix of results there! None of these ethnicity tests are a perfect science though. They use algorithms based on modern populations, so it is simply making an estimate of where your ancestors MIGHT have been from. MyTrueAncestry also compares your DNA to ancient samples and looks for whether you share anything with them. It doesn't mean you're necessarily descended from them, just that you probably share a common ancestor. I hope this helps! Thanks for the comment :)
You and I have a lot in common on my true ancestry. I have "deep dive matches" from both oetzi and king louis xvi, and matches for french courters, skeleton lake, 7th crusade, jean-paul, carolingian empire, Roman gladiators as well as well as a few more
Very expensive have to upgrade for everything. I have a mixed background and only Asian and South America is shown no European or Africa. Probably I have to upgrade. I have zeus tier now
You are close to Dutch migrants from 16th century when they came to England, that's where the Celtic and Frank comes from. Many English have Dutch ancestry. My wife who is British has 60% Dutch/Belgium Flanders from 23andme results.
Thanks for watching, it is a lot to take in all at once. It's definitely something that you need to take your time with! If you have a match with the King Louis sample, then yes it means that you have shared DNA with them. Nice!!
I Also have Langobard Ancestry as well as Danish Viking , Celt, Rus , Scottish , Kurgan , Scythian , Visigoths and others too much to name .. As you can see from my pic I'm 70% indigenous America's and about 27 % European . It's hard to believe these ancient traits .. But if true its so cool 👍 I did locate 3rd and 4th cousins in Scotland ,Wales ,and Germany so maybe there are truths to this site 🤔. No one in my family really believes these ancient findings but we are talking about ancient history tho ..
¡Hola! Yo también soy española. En el time-line salen muchas muestras que en los mapas no están. Ponen las muestras más cercanas, supongo. En el time-line yo tengo muchos vikingos (y muchas otras muestras), pero en el mapa solo me aparece uno con el que comparto un fragmento de ADN (uno de mis deep dives). Bueno, en el mapa de América puedo ver uno de Groenlandia, pero en los mapas europeos no sale ninguno.
@@mariajosemartinez5135 Hi! I don't speak Spanish but I think if you adjust the parameters at the bottom, it will show more or less samples. Interesting mixture of results you got! :)
@@VanessaBland thank you 😊 I was just telling that only the closest samples would appear in the maps, along with the deep dives samples, not all the ones in the time line.
My closest Ancient populations are Hellenic Romans, Scordisci, Romans, Roman Hispania, and Illyrians. My top four on the Ancient Sample Breakdown pie chart, are Romans, Illyrians, Hellenic Romans, Thracians. My Ancient deep dive populations are Illyrians, Romans, Minoans, Hellenic Romans, Scordisci, Gallo Romans, Phoenicians, Sicani, Gauls, and Pannonian Illyrians. My closest modern populations are Tuscans, Greeks_Thessaly, Italians_Abruzzo, Albanians_Tosk, Italians_North, Sicilians_West, Kosovars, and Greeks_Central. On an ancient population PCA chart I cluster between Late Medieval Ashkenazi Cemetery Erfurt, Early Medieval Venosa Italy, Hellenic Roman Marcellino, Roman Villa Tarragona, Roman Republic Marsiliana d’Albegna, Albania Cinamak Kukes District, Ancient Middle Hellenic Elati_Logkas Greece, Hellenic Roman, Early Medieval Dalmatia Trogir Croatia, and Crusader Knight Tuscan/ Lebanon.
Personally I don't, I'm 100% European. I have uploaded two separate videos where I looked at Greek, and Native American results. I'll hopefully get to do African or Asian results at some stage but so far I haven't had the opportunity. Thanks for the comment!
@@sr2291 A lot of the MtDNA lines trace back to Africa if you go far enough back. My 'H' group originated in Europe, but if you continue tracing the line back through other groups it ends in Kenya. You can view this in the Migration Maps section of FamilyTreeDNA. I'll show this in a video in the next week or two. Is this what you meant?
I was always told Im half German, and my mother is french and Italian. It turns out I’m related to Cheddar man and York Gladiators of England. What the #€&$@ !
It just means that you share some common DNA, which may have been even further back in history. There was always lots of movement of people around Europe. Thanks for the comment :)
i would take the cheddar man results with a grain of salt the reason is the Megalith people which is what cheddar mans people where was wiped out before any of our british ancestors came to the British isles cheddar mans peope where wiped out by the neolithic peoples 6,000 years ago morden brits today are ever celt, anglo saxon, viking or Norman who where allso vikings Welsh are mostly celtic English are ever anglo saxon viking or norman inless if that person is from Cornwell which they are celts Scottish it depands on clan Irish are celtic the only people in europe today that are related to cheddar man are the Basque peoples we know this because the language and gentics dont mach with morden indo europens like the Germans English French Irish and so on
The most basic version is free. There are also paid subscriptions that give access to more features. You need to have already taken a DNA test with another company though. Thanks for watching :)
I just tried the commoner level and was surprised that my closest match was Visigoth and Gaul. Also a large percentage Frank. I was expecting the Byzantine Empire but got zero lol. Half of my family is from Greece and they said my modern genetic population is just German. ???
I actually checked again and it looks like they show a sample map or maps for higher tiers and yeah I got a ton of cool stuff hanging around the east Mediterranean and Anatolia. I’m getting a subscription 👍.
Wow! Well the modern population is only estimating one population, so if you have ancestry from multiple areas it might not be as accurate. The ancient ancestry is interesting though! Interesting that it wasn't what you expected. Very cool though (I love the germanic tribes!!) :) Thanks for sharing!!
I didn’t like the Y-haplogroup section. I thought it was very basic. My Y-haplogroup is R1a-Z93, yet I was disappointed that R1a was third highest. Y-haplogroup J was my second highest match, which I believe, as I know many males in my family tree had J2a as their Y-haplogroup. I was disappointed that they didn’t break down J into J1, and J2. I am also disappointed that they didn’t provide subclades for each haplogroup. R1b came in highest at around 25%, whereas as J was around 23%. I am highly skeptical of this, as I don’t know anyone in my family with this Y-haplogroup. On the Living DNA family matches only one person, out of over 1500, has R1b as their Y-haplogroup. Apart from R1a coming in at third, my Y-haplogroup pie chart resembled that of a pie chart relating to Southern Italy. I was only interested in seeing R1a-Z93 percentages, given that that is my haplogroup.
It is definitely not a Y test, it's just estimating based on your autosomal sample. Interesting to read your findings though, thanks very much for sharing!
So the Punjabis who went out raiding in Northern India thousands of years ago are Vikings? Viking isn't a profession or something that you can be. It's a culture strictly tied to a a restricted number of northern european ethnicities. Back then that's how Scandinavians were known as
Welsh are from Avalon. Which died out in the before the 800s to the 1000s. The stone that was in Avalon that Jesus walked upon has been found next to a creek after 1200 years. So. You are Ancient Israeli. How do I know.... I visited Avalon home of The Pendragons. Only the Queen of England has the remade history book from that time. Written by the Sir Kay, a Knight of the Round table. Ireland was settled prior to Israel becoming a Kingdom, When the Phoenicians ruled the seas and Tin was gathered when bronze was needed. It is a wiped away history. If you read up on Jesus, he traveled to Ireland, Wales, Iberia with his uncle Joseph of Arimathia before the age of 15. If you visit the stone, place your hand on it or foot and believe in Christ the Redeemer.

About 2 years ago I started researching my DNA and my ancestry. I was shocked at the results. First, I found out that one of my direct ancestors was killed in the Salem Witch Trials. Then I discovered a lot of Northwestern European ancestry. I knew I have a ton of English ancestry but had no clue about the Scandinavian heritage. I dug deeper into that and was able to trace back to some direct ancestors that were Vikings in various areas in Northwest Europe. Pretty cool. I also found distant relationships to some well known historical figures, including some unsavory ones. My True Ancestry was one of the tools I used and once I learned how to use it was a great resource. For a history teacher like myself it has been amazing to see my family history!
Wow thanks for sharing! It's so exciting to link our ancestors to events in history (the good and the bad). Salem Witch Trials and Vikings are both exciting finds. It reminds us that these stories aren't just about distant people and times, but about our own families. Thanks for watching my video ☺
I was adopted at ten days old, in 1956, enjoying this journey, very surprised by my ancestry.
Wow best of luck with your ancestry journey! Thanks for the comment :)
You're using a toothbrush for a pointer! LOL! You're so funny! Your videos are not only informative but they're also really fun to watch.
Thank you!! ❤️
I didn't have any other pointer on hand hahaha
I was adopted from Poland and my closet populations on My true Ancestry are the Kievan Rus and Early Slavs. My deep dive matches include Swedish Vikings, Baltic tribes, Kievan Rus, Early Slavs, Scythian, Sarmatians, Longobards, Saxons, and Ostrogoths. I am also 1/4 Lithuanian.
Wow! What an exciting mix!!!! Thanks for the comment :)
Yo I got Scythian as well, and would you know where that would come from, on my yt I got my vids on it, would the Scythian come from east European cause I got the same percentage on my heritage dna as on my true ancestry, or could it have come from the Middle East? Cause if you are east European maybe it came from there
@@zeke-p7f In my opinion it could have come from either as the Scythian's were nomadic.Thanks for the comment :)
I get them as well. Maybe we are long disctance cousins :)
I always wondered about that part of my lineage. I am mostly of Mexican decent with North Native American, British/Irish, Ashkenazi Jewish and Afrolatino admixture. I have Royal lineage to the Arpad Dynasty which is the same area and tribes you mentioned! I am trying to see the connection and read that the Arpad Dynasty male descendants ended up in Austria in which spread to France and Spain. Then on top of that one of the males from the Dynasty is said to end up in Scotland with the Drummond clan. So Eastern Europe spreaded all over the place. Most of them are in Poland and Hungary and are Polish and Hungarian. I come in the mix and ended up being Mexican generation later. Like more than 10 generations later. I am not an expert and there is so much more I left out but it all makes sense now. As far as being a history buff I am going to the Frida Kahlo exhibit in my area which as we all know a famous Mexican Artist. Her father was of Hungarian decent. Interesting! There are so many connections!
I noticed my Gedmatch DNA matches with this Mytrueancestry. I am mostly of Native American decent along with Spanish, Askenzi Jewish and British ancestry sprinkled in. Through this I found out my European side didn't become Spanish until the year 1100 AD. Before they were an amalgamation of Gothic, Hun, Baltic, Indo Iranian and Turkic tribes. Amazing!
My results were similar being from the American South. 70% Germanic, 30% Celtic. Almost all my ancestors came from Northern England and some Lowland Scotland. I was a very close modern match to the Southeast England.
I submitted my test from ancestry to my true ancestry and most interesting result being some my ancestors were vikings who settled Iceland & Greenland.
I'm of mostly English, German and Irish descent who lives on the East coast of the US.
Wow!! Thanks for the comment :)
U know first inhabittant uk and irish are not viking. And actual scandinavia was first inhabitted by suomi, were settled by a population came of actual danish frison north germany. Scandinavian dna marker is not former.
Hi from VA.
Part of my Sephardic Jewish Spanish line was in Mexico and I get same message on no American samples but it says note our tests detect some native American ancestry not enough to sample match but its cool I got 3% on ancestry. My main ancient populations are Greek Hittite Levant and Roman no Celtic or saxon. I upgraded to Odyssey now I am hooked.
Did you have to upgrade to see about the Native American⁉️ Can you tell me where You Found that in these pages🥰 Thank You So Much❣️ I Would Greatly Appreciate It‼️ Take Care❤️
That occurred because you are a convert. Shalom
Ewww
I got matched up with the Minoans, the Ptolemaic mummy, and Ötzi the Iceman 😋🤙
Are the upgrades one time payments or are they monthly?
Wow!!! Those are some great matches!!!! It's a one time payment when you upgrade so you can take your time with it. They often have specials on different subscriptions so worth keeping an eye out :)
@@VanessaBland Thank you :D
Ptolemy nummy? You could be a descendant of Cleopatra 🙂
My closest populations are Jomon people of Japan, Yayoi people of Japan, and Pyu Kingdoms of Southeast Asia.
Intrrested in hearing from non Europeans. Thanks.
Hi, also from Australia and me too. I love MyTrueAncestry. Interestingly Vanessa you have the same shape face as mine, apart from our chin. My eyes are pale blue. So hi fellow Viking cousin. I'm mostly Norwegian Viking, but also Swedish and Danish Viking. Philip Calvert is America, you match him & the Y-DNA is their DNA, (the excavated ones) look at the FAQ section it tells you about that. Excellent analysis, much better than mine :D

@@VanessaBland Yes. Especially those modern results sound as expected. The closest is East_Finnish and it is much closer than other ref. populations. For to compare, FTDNA Origins v3 says 89% Finnish and 11% Eeast Slavic. It makes sense.
Wow🤩👏
I got Norwegian Viking and Celtic. I got some pre Celtic Bell Beaker as well.
Nice!!
I got a match to Merovingian nobility and also pretty much all of the royalty in Europe - especially Scottish, Irish, and descent from the line of Rurik like the entire Romanoff line... plus I am seriously Viking.... I was really surprised 😊
Ahh wow that's some very cool results!!! Thanks for sharing 😊
How do i use this website
I got a lot of the same.. Merovingian Noble, lots of Viking, most of Europe Royalty. It just means we come from the same "H" haplo group. Most of W.European DNA is H. I was so amazed like you until I found this out LOL!
On another note, I think it's a terrible trick to play on people to make them think they are directly/closely related to these groups. It's a money magnet for these sites.
@@jesusslushies2192 well it tells you how many SNPS you share with these groups--- like actual DNA snips and the percentage of relation that makes you .. if you know how to read the results then you aren't fooled into thinking that you are massively close... it also tells you the time period that those matches were alive... if you just have some sim I lar generic European DNA then that of course just means you share a common ancestor... if you have actual segments of DNA in common and are we closer than 4 or 5 to them then they were your ancestors.... I was not foolish enough to think that I was closely related although being fro. The De LA Poer, Powers, Lawson, and other family lines I already knew I had connections to them from my genealogy and historical work... like 1000 and 500 years ago our family lost our lands etc for following the Jacobite cause etc.... depends which branch you look into but Elizabeth pretty much banished several of my ancestors and etc... the results I got were in line with known family history now that I have found my father's side .... I agree though that unless you know how to read these results they can be confused.

@robertolang9684 what I posted was not my full ancient breakdown those were my closest ones.
Nobody is faking ancestry that is embarrassing.
I’m German from the north with full Scandinavian ancestors in the last 4-5 generations so I’ll be much more skewed away from Celtic than a southern German or what not.
I uploaded my DNA to my true ancestry and was thrilled to find I had a match of 47 cm with Norwegian Vikings. In the timelines section.
Love it!!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for sharing. I think you need to look at genetic distance. You should be able to place yourself through the ages if you look at those estimates. You can discover your principal Bronze and Iron age origins. I think it could be really interesting.
My closest populations on MyTrueAncestry are Visigoths and Roman Hispania. I'm King level.
Great video. While watching I noticed we matched on several of the DNA spotlight matches: Scythian, Celt Gladiators, Vikings, Birka, Le Mans France, Winthrop, Calvert and more I’m sure - we have to be related!
Cool! Maybe we are distant cousins :)
I always loved History in High school too and I was always into ancestry as well .
I'm very Celtic according to MyTrueancestry. If you were to add up the pie chart of the percentages of my matching samples it's over 75% Celt.
Deep dive pie chart is higher at over 82% Celt
Celt + Celtic Dobunni (6.001)
Celt + Anglo Saxon (6.141)
Celt + Briton (6.569)
Celt + Gael (6.846)

Briton + Anglo Saxon (7.195)
Briton (7.893)
Anglo Saxon (8.053)

Btw you should do a video on your Illustrative dna results.
I was surprised to see how similar your results was to mine. I'm ethnically English and Western European.
My ancestors are all British Isles and Western Europe too :)
I got Scordiscii, Panonian Illyrian, Gaul , Thuriggi , and Germanic Cherusi . My family is all from Mexico and Scotland. My closest modern populations are all in Spain and France.
I'm not kidding. My mt DNA is the same as yours. The same colors and percentages. It looks. Wish I could show you a screenshot.
That's so cool! I wonder if we are related or if it's just a coincidence :) Thanks for the comment!
Ok I'm excited. I love history and I would love to know if I have a connection to any ancient people.
I love ancient history too :) This test was a lot of fun for me! Thanks for the comment.
Interesting. I'm mixed race and looks like I shared some Scottish Royalty too and kin to the royalty of France. But I do have a lot of Southern Europe in Spain, Italy and Greece. I was told of my dad's side Spanish roots so that did make sense.
Just from the start of the video, you look quite English, but with something else too! This looks like an interesting alternative to the other ancestry websites I've heard of
Thanks for the comment! I do have some English ancestry, probably about 1/3 :)
Thank You.. yes Very Helpful!! Yes my DNA said something about having Egyptian.. I'm American. I was so upset at first!! I am supposed to have Native American.. is why my twin sister my Mom my G.Ma and G.G.Ma and others on Mom's side has black hair.. I have light brown, blonde as a child and young adult. But I am over it. Heard this is only 1% of our DNA anyway and is guesstimates only and for fun. So IDK.. I do want to know More and More now❣️ So I Really Appreciate Your Sharing and All your Help❣️ Thank You So Very Much❤️ Take Care
Yes, these are just estimates of your ethnicity. They are fun and helpful, but it's great to do other research as well to look at your more recent ancestors. Have you tried to build a family tree yet? America has great records for tracing your ancestry. Thanks for the comment :)
Hi I saw ur video and give it a tried. Your video is Good explaining and very informative :-) my ancient population was Viking, saxon, celt, longoboards, norwegian viking. My civilization breakdown was longobard, viking sweden, saxon, celt, briton, viking danish, vandal, frank and celtic dobunni. My Y-Dna breakdown had 9 royalty country and 19+ diffrent clans. My mtdna breakdown i had royalty country 25 and 70+ diffrent clans. Its was alot of info. I was hoping i would be related to ancient romans, but i got viking 😃. I think the site was good but hard to understand it all. Think all connection for me it way way back 😀. Nice video
Thanks for your comment! Sounds like a lot of interesting results there :)
Could you please explain subclade distance O , 1 , 2 and so on . I hope you can encourage the company to do a relationship chart .
My ancient DNA is mainly Celtic and Danish Viking according to My True Ancestry.👌😁
So cool!!!
After watching this video, I'm now convinced that we're cousins lol. We appear to have very similar results, though you're more Celtic than I am. I'm about 90% Germanic with the bulk of it being Saxon, Viking, then Frank. The rest of my DNA is Celtic.
Hello distant cousin :)
I got my test results back lol that was fast . It gives me an option too if I want to upgrade to see if I have any Viking in me .
Is the toothbrush your wand 😆😁 Nice Results👍 Seem like we got quite simmilar Genetic distance to archaeological finds. For example got about the same Genetic Distance to the Lombards as you. Beeing around 100% Scandinavian i wonder if also the Saxons and Franks originated from Scandinavia🤔
Thanks for the comment! Yes the toothbrush comes in very handy

These results of my father were a huge surprise to us. FTDNA tells he is a 100% Finnish. I guess there's still some Viking blood running in Finnish veins as well even though we aren't thought to have anything to do with Vikings. My mother also has strong Viking results and she's also 100% Finnish according to FTDNA. Fun and interesting findings.

Hey! I recently uploaded my DNA to my true ancestry and I was considering getting an upgrade, but I have one question: Are the upgrades only one payment or is it like a monthly subscription?
Just a one time payment. Thanks for watching :)
@@VanessaBland Thanks!
Yours and my results are almost identical. I'm even related to the Birka Shield maiden, like you.
The only difference is that I appear to be (in addition to the Celtic) mostly Danish. Which would make sense because my last name is from Yorkshire and my family is from there.
Danelaw and what not.
Lots of Danish in these veins. Really enjoyed your video, potential ... cousin? I have no idea lmao. We're related SOME HOW.
Interesting! Perhaps we are related somewhere down the line then :) Thanks for watching and for the comment!!
@@VanessaBland Love your stuff, Vanessa! Subscribed! Keep doing what you're doing!
My matches were Guanches, Ptometic Egyptians, Crusader Knights and Rostov plague.also Mexico and Panama and Saint Martin zousteegs.
Ooooh that's so cool!!! Thanks for sharing :)
I have a question what does Saint martin Zousteeg, New Colonial Mexico Cityslave trade victim and Colonial Pamaná Viejo coco del mar mean in My True Ancestry?i know have caribbean and south and central american ancestry, does it mean have ancestry grom ssid places.
@@Porkchopapii I couldn't say about those specific samples as I don't know their history, but it means that you share DNA with those individuals. It may be that you both share a very distant ancestor, or a close relative. Shared DNA doesn't necessarily mean you have ancestry from the places, it just means you both have shared origins. I hope that helps!

Hey Vanessa, I really liked your video. It was interesting to see your results! I did the test as well, but there´s one thing I do not understand. For me, my closest ancient population is also Saxon + Frank (2.975). However, when I look at the ancient sample results (full civilization breakdown and ancient sample breakdown), Celt is the biggest (30.3%) while Saxon being 19,5% and Frank 5.76%. I do not understand this, am a most Saxon + Frank or Celt? Perhaps you understand how to interpret this? Thanks in advance!
Hi! Thanks for watching :) Sounds like you have similar results to mine. I also have Saxon and Frank as my closest, but in the breakdown section, my top two are Saxon and then Celt. I think the breakdown is a lot more similar to an Ancestry breakdown, where they are looking at single populations. Whereas the Ancient populations seems to be the most likely combinations of more than one population. The distinction here is tiny but if you've ever used GEDmatch Oracle, it has a similar technique (I have a video on Oracle if you want to check it out). So perhaps if your DNA sample is compared to all of their results, you most closely match the Celt sample. But assuming you are not absolutely pure Celt, you're a person who has mixed ancestry (as we all do) the combination of Saxon and Frank is the closest match. Does that make sense?
I should make a dedicated video to this question, it's a good one!
Maybe they get more samples of the celtic region and u match to more ppl there but your dna matches cM and distance is closser in anglo saxan but they maybe have les samples on the anglo saxan side
Well farther back than this they were in other parts of the world. But yeah, for a long time they've been from that area
I got a lot of royalty match’s as well as the DNA spotlight links but it’s hard for me to understand it all or know what it actually means.
It's certainly a lot of information which can seem overwhelming. Take your time exploring the site and learning what each section means. This video was really just an overview, I'll look into doing some follow ups that go into the details. Thanks for the comment :)
My modern population results were similar to my K15 results.
MTA: Tuscans, Greeks_Thessaly, Italians_Abruzzo, Albanians_Tosk, Italians_North, Sicilians_West, Kosovars, and Greeks_Central.
K15: Tuscans, Greeks_Thessaly, North Italians, Italians_Abruzzo, Sicilians_West, Romanians, Greeks_Central, Sicilians_East.
Interesting to compare! Thanks for sharing :)
Our dna ancestry is very close have you managed to do a family tree?
I do have a family tree! If you're on Ancestry or MyHeritage, you might find me as a match if we're closely enough related :) Thanks for watching!
Are you under the name Vanessa Kindred?
@@laurabrockman4956 My ancestry username is vanessa822059 :)
The only bummer part about MTA is that if you are Northern European you are not going to find very much global variety in your results, even if you purchase thousands of samples. This is because of the overwhelming amount of Northern European samples in the database. Also, often for one archaeological site there are many samples and they are all related, so that also takes from your sample allotment.
MTA have samples from all over the world, but if you are Northern European then it makes sense that your samples generally reflect that area. Not sure why that would be a bummer though, plenty of fascinating populations in Europe!
@@VanessaBland I'm American. I already have African and Native American samples at MTA, but overwhelmingly they are European. I also have some "ghost samples" on my Americas map (I already figured out one is Amerindian from Mexico and the other is Iroquois from Canada). But to truly unlock these more distant samples will have to pay for a lot more samples (possibly 1000 or more). That's what frustrates me. I know there is global diversity in my DNA but my sample matches (I'm up to 1500 now) are bogged down in Northern Europe. Out of 1500 samples, none of them have more genetic distance than 15.
@@VanessaBland And thanks for the response, I enjoyed your videos. ☺
@@edfred Ahh I understand now! You're right that they have many European samples and fewer in other regions. So yeah, you'll probably have skewed matches if you have some mixed heritage. Hopefully as they continue to add new samples, it will build up other areas too!
I recently did a DNA test and I've been trying a few websites, but it' so... inconclusive?
I share a few cm of some of my chromosomes with people and samples all over the place and in different eras... It's really hard to track or make any sense out of it.
I'm Brazilian and my grandma is Indian (that gives me: 22.8% Mesoamerican and Andean). From my grandfather and father's part of the family, I don't know much about it.
The rest of MyHeritageDna results are: Iberian 61.2%, West Asian (Turkey and Iran) 6%, Italian 4.8%, Irish Scottish and Welsh 3.5% and Baltic 1.7%. On modern populations at MyTrueAncestry I got basically: Portuguese, Spanish and North Italian.
Closest ancient population: Illyrians.
The ancient sample breakdown shows 20 different 'people', while the ancient deep dive shows five: Gallo-Romans, Romans, Illyrians, Al-Andalus and Phoenicians.
There're matches with: Oetzi, Crusader Knight French/ Lebanon/ Tuscan, Le Mans Revolutionary France (H46, K1c1, H79a), Viking Age England, Skeleton Lake, Roman Gladiators, Guanches, Carolingian Empire, Ancient Britain, King Louis XVI and Jean-Paul Marat.
So... What does it mean? What do I take from that? Any lights?
It's curious to me what I don't have according to MyHeritageDna: 0% African, French, German, Jew, English...?
You have an interesting mix of results there! None of these ethnicity tests are a perfect science though. They use algorithms based on modern populations, so it is simply making an estimate of where your ancestors MIGHT have been from. MyTrueAncestry also compares your DNA to ancient samples and looks for whether you share anything with them. It doesn't mean you're necessarily descended from them, just that you probably share a common ancestor. I hope this helps! Thanks for the comment :)
Wow
You and I have a lot in common on my true ancestry. I have "deep dive matches" from both oetzi and king louis xvi, and matches for french courters, skeleton lake, 7th crusade, jean-paul, carolingian empire, Roman gladiators as well as well as a few more
nice video, MyTrueAncestry closest ancient population : GalloRomans, Franks,Visigoths, Al-Andalus
Awesome! Thanks for sharing :)
Very expensive have to upgrade for everything. I have a mixed background and only Asian and South America is shown no European or Africa. Probably I have to upgrade. I have zeus tier now
You are close to Dutch migrants from 16th century when they came to England, that's where the Celtic and Frank comes from. Many English have Dutch ancestry. My wife who is British has 60% Dutch/Belgium Flanders from 23andme results.
Interesting! Perhaps I have some Dutch ancestry! Thanks for the comment :)
this is all a bit overwhelming lol. so for the dna spot light i got king louis does that mean i have dna shared with them?
Thanks for watching, it is a lot to take in all at once. It's definitely something that you need to take your time with!
If you have a match with the King Louis sample, then yes it means that you have shared DNA with them. Nice!!
Somewhere on the site it says 10 is a definite match. And there is 20 and 30. So 10 and under means the person on the site is a definite ancestor.
I have a lot of Royalty matches....meaning I must have come from a long line of "side pieces"...lol
😆
Fun isn’t it? 😎
Yes!!!
I got Scythian+Visigoth
Ahhh that's too cool!! :)

My timeline is like 8000BC cause Illyrian and Greek dna
I Also have Langobard Ancestry as well as Danish Viking , Celt, Rus , Scottish , Kurgan , Scythian , Visigoths and others too much to name .. As you can see from my pic I'm 70% indigenous America's and about 27 % European . It's hard to believe these ancient traits .. But if true its so cool 👍 I did locate 3rd and 4th cousins in Scotland ,Wales ,and Germany so maybe there are truths to this site 🤔. No one in my family really believes these ancient findings but we are talking about ancient history tho ..
What does it means if I'm related for example to this Sala Silver mine Sweden ? Does it means I'm related to king Gustav ?
Not necessarily. It's saying that you share common ancestry with the individual samples found at this archaeological site. I hope this makes sense :)

Do you have any non European Haplogroups? Like African or Asian?
Personally I don't, I'm 100% European. I have uploaded two separate videos where I looked at Greek, and Native American results. I'll hopefully get to do African or Asian results at some stage but so far I haven't had the opportunity. Thanks for the comment!
@@VanessaBland I didnt mean in the timeline. I meant did they find any in the mtdna or y-dna section. Im just curious.
@@sr2291 A lot of the MtDNA lines trace back to Africa if you go far enough back. My 'H' group originated in Europe, but if you continue tracing the line back through other groups it ends in Kenya.

I was always told Im half German, and my mother is french and Italian. It turns out I’m related to Cheddar man and York Gladiators of England. What the #€&$@ !
It just means that you share some common DNA, which may have been even further back in history. There was always lots of movement of people around Europe. Thanks for the comment :)
i would take the cheddar man results with a grain of salt the reason is the Megalith people which is what cheddar mans people where was wiped out before any of our british ancestors came to the British isles cheddar mans peope where wiped out by the neolithic peoples 6,000 years ago morden brits today are ever celt, anglo saxon, viking or Norman who where allso vikings Welsh are mostly celtic English are ever anglo saxon viking or norman inless if that person is from Cornwell which they are celts Scottish it depands on clan Irish are celtic the only people in europe today that are related to cheddar man are the Basque peoples we know this because the language and gentics dont mach with morden indo europens like the Germans English French Irish and so on

I just tried the commoner level and was surprised that my closest match was Visigoth and Gaul. Also a large percentage Frank. I was expecting the Byzantine Empire but got zero lol. Half of my family is from Greece and they said my modern genetic population is just German. ???
I actually checked again and it looks like they show a sample map or maps for higher tiers and yeah I got a ton of cool stuff hanging around the east Mediterranean and Anatolia. I’m getting a subscription 👍.
Wow! Well the modern population is only estimating one population, so if you have ancestry from multiple areas it might not be as accurate. The ancient ancestry is interesting though!

I didn’t like the Y-haplogroup section. I thought it was very basic. My Y-haplogroup is R1a-Z93, yet I was disappointed that R1a was third highest. Y-haplogroup J was my second highest match, which I believe, as I know many males in my family tree had J2a as their Y-haplogroup. I was disappointed that they didn’t break down J into J1, and J2. I am also disappointed that they didn’t provide subclades for each haplogroup. R1b came in highest at around 25%, whereas as J was around 23%. I am highly skeptical of this, as I don’t know anyone in my family with this Y-haplogroup. On the Living DNA family matches only one person, out of over 1500, has R1b as their Y-haplogroup. Apart from R1a coming in at third, my Y-haplogroup pie chart resembled that of a pie chart relating to Southern Italy. I was only interested in seeing R1a-Z93 percentages, given that that is my haplogroup.
It is definitely not a Y test, it's just estimating based on your autosomal sample. Interesting to read your findings though, thanks very much for sharing!
I got information from Y-halogroups from this website even though I’m a woman. This is very confusing to me
Yeah, it is a bit odd for females to see those results!! They are just predictions based on your matches.

Viking isn't a profession or something that you can be. It's a culture strictly tied to a a restricted number of northern european ethnicities. Back then that's how Scandinavians were known as

Ancestors went raiding though
Welsh are from Avalon. Which died out in the before the 800s to the 1000s. The stone that was in Avalon that Jesus walked upon has been found next to a creek after 1200 years. So. You are Ancient Israeli. How do I know.... I visited Avalon home of The Pendragons. Only the Queen of England has the remade history book from that time. Written by the Sir Kay, a Knight of the Round table. Ireland was settled prior to Israel becoming a Kingdom, When the Phoenicians ruled the seas and Tin was gathered when bronze was needed. It is a wiped away history. If you read up on Jesus, he traveled to Ireland, Wales, Iberia with his uncle Joseph of Arimathia before the age of 15. If you visit the stone, place your hand on it or foot and believe in Christ the Redeemer.
