Well I'm a native speaker of both Hindi and Bengali, because I'm from West Bengal, India, and Hindi is the official language and used in TV shows. And after that I learnt English in school. Growing up speaking two languages is a little weird, ngl. I remember starting a sentence in one and ending in another when I was young, or often replacing vocabulary. But it's good, because of the fact that you get to experience two cultures, two languages and two literatures. That's why I've started taking interest some Spanish, I'm hopeful of learning it. I understand from your username that you're multilingual as well?

A shame that these companies do not combine their databases for even better results.
Plus they allegedly sell your DNA to suspicious third parties
They do, most sites allow users to upload their own DNA data results from another company and they are then able to extract even more information.
@@blendeadgod but you need to pay yet another subscription then.
@@HansMilling depends on the site
You also wave your right to any privacy or protection of your dna as soon as you export it from the company site that you did your DNA with. That stopped me dead in my tracks ha.
my dad was obsessed with these tests for a while, but never got much out of it. one day a random woman from australia (we live in the us) messaged him asking how they were related. no one related to us knew anything about her, but his mom later admitted that she had her at 15 and gave her up for adoption before moving to the us. my dad was an only child his whole life, and she never knew she was adopted (my dad was in his late 40s and she was in her late 50s)
Damn that’s crazy
God damn bro that’s one story
YES BUT THEN ONE DAY WHEN THE COP SHOP HAD GONE ASLEEP HE KILLED IT
Your father was obsessed with dna tests most likely because he sensed there was something he needed to know,.
When did you take these tests ? As far as I see on ancestry they don’t do it anymore
My grandparents have an entire wall of the house with our family tree going back to 1603. Reminds me of Harry Potter.
Wow, you lucky! I barely know a little about a few of my great grandparents. In my family nobody cares about that.
1100 AD for my Dad's line. Pity I can't go and claim some old ruins in Buckinghamshire.
@@pariahthistledowne854 ,That's amazing!
@@phoebebee4250 Not really. It's extremely unlikely that tree is correct. You can only go so many generations with DNA, after that you have to rely purely on records (if they even exist) and your faith in your ancestors fidelity. One non-paternal event and suddenly a big chunk of your tree is wrong. And if it happens more than once... Well, you get the gyst. And if you want to know more, read up on ginealogical proof standard.
We have that as well. Ours is called a "wreath".
I use ancestry and I found my father.. After 33 years I’m now 36 yrs old an gonna spend my first Father’s Day this year with him. A dream come true.
Just like Luke Skywalker! Congratulations 🎉
❤❤❤
Aww I hope both have a great day
I found my maternal grandma the same way. She died before I did the test, but I got to meet that side of the family and my mom discovered she's not an only child at all. She has three siblings.
my parents will be glad if they don't get found xD Have fun with your father.
I wish you talked about the Privacy Policy and Practices of these services
There is none. The data they collect is for sale, all of it, and give the government anything they ask for.
Yes! That is important. I want to know if you can opt out of sharing, etc!
My exact thought
Why what happen
@@avayoung6720 data breaches and police and misconduct
As an adopted person (now adult) a big "to know" about meeting biological parents in person is that they put you up for adoption for a reason. It could have been age, economy, their own failing health and worry of your future, a fallout with the other parent leading to losing attachment, and more. If it was straight up "I did not want a child" that sentiment doesn't exactly change that much in my experience. It was polite but they were NOT a parent because they had no other children so they did not act like a parent. It was a super pleasant, very nice meal with bio dad, whom is difficult to stay in touch and busy with a high paying job. (Tends to happen when you have no kids, lol.)
Bio Mom had other children so meeting her was a rollercoaster because she just felt eternal guilt and regret which is awkward because I sincerely loved my real parents (you know, the ones who really raised me- those will always be MY mom and MY dad.) So I basically told her she absolutely made the right choice, my life was wonderful, I loved my parents and they loved me truly, and it was okay. You could see the weight leave her shoulders. But some time later her psychological issues of lashing out and what not started to leak into our convos so I had to cut her out of my life- after all, I lived a few decades without her, and I will NOT stand for being treated poorly in the name of 'family.' Family is love, not blood alone.
♥
I'm adopted too, I never took a test, I keep going back and forth on if I want to take one or not. Supposedly, I met a sibling online, but we are so different that we don't talk a lot, but I am a talker, so I'm sure they found out more than they wanted about me haha and I did get some family info that helped. I am curious more on the health part than anything else though tbh.
You are right, my discovered mom turned out so narssasistic I have no desire to meet her.
You made the right choice sadly it wasn’t a June Cleaver relationship however it sounds like your Loving Supportive Adoptive Parents and you were the true winners.
I feel the same way. I was adopted by family relatives.
Growing up was difficult and psychologial hard to accept.
Been a grown woman now. All those issues were helead by time and having my own family. Adopted parents are gone now, and i thank God every day for everything they provided. More than a roof, they provided a strong faith in God. That's what i am greatful the most.

Hope they are in Heaven enjoying Jesus due to all their sacrifices.

Ok everybody listen up. You don’t have to pay $600 for a fancy kit to find all your health risks. Take a normal DNA test like 23&me or ancestry or whatever, then pay the $10 to access the promethease database. Up load your raw DNA data, Search by citation, and boom all the same snp disease attributions for a 60th of the price!
*Thank you*
@blah blah Sorry to hear.
@blah blah guess it's time to take Circle DNA?
@@I_THE_ME do you have more info on how to do this or what the tool can be used for? I'd love to see videos of people showing how it can be used.
@@sharoncox1734 NCBI's ClinVar tool has the sequences for pretty much all SNPs that are known. You upload the sequence, then choose the SNP type "pathogenic" and then search. I'm guessing the raw DNA data comes in FASTA format, but I don't know how much they have sequenced nor what methods they use, so depending on the size of the data, it can take some time as the tool goes through it. There are plenty of videos on TH-cam about how to use NCBI ClinVar and find SNPs and other mutations.

@Elly Gilmore we get it quite a bit in Britain as well
As far as "secrets," I got a MASSIVE shock in the best possible way! In high school I had a bestie whose sister was the bestie of my sister. They were in middle school, we were in high school, and each of us came from a two-sister household, no other siblings involved. So a set of sisters was besties with a set of sisters. That was early 2000s (I graduated in 2004). Fast forward to 2019, come to find out on Ancestry that we have the same great-grandparents - we are second cousins! My sister & I have zero first cousins so for us that's as close as it gets!
The odds of us ever meeting, let alone becoming friends, let alone both of us becoming friends with both of them, are astronomical. The family we're related through is from New England we were all living in the DC Metro area. My sister & I because our father moved away when he grew up and they were here because they actually were stationed around the world growing up with their parents who worked in diplomacy. We were just another station for them, being in DC. Furthermore, we were in a private Christian school, NOT public school, so even after we ended up in the same area despite our common family being so far away, we had to end up at the same TINY private school. My sister & I only got there at the same time they did after we'd been in public school all our lives! They got there at the same time when their parents were assigned to Washington. The public schools in our area have high schools with student numbers in the thousands. Our school was K3-12 but the high school part of it was at or just below 100 students. Tiny. So for all of us to end up there is insane.
Turns out our grandfather was the brother of their grandmother! Our grandfather is the only grandparent we never knew as he died in a plane crash many years prior to our births. Since we never knew him and our father didn't either, we didn't care to look into his family - the man who married our grandmother became our fourth grandparent and we saw his family as ours. So not only did we find out our very close friends of a decade & a half were the closest cousins we have, our grandparents being siblings, but my sister & I also gained an entire extended family! They are the very best we could ask for and we love them dearly!
Also, I found out a cousin on my mom's side was an egg donor and none of us knew. So we have some family through that too. That surprise pales in comparison though!
My family did 23&Me & found a cousin! My aunt had a baby out of wedlock in 1957 & went away for several months to have the baby & give to the Catholic adoption agency in the L.A. area. We finally found him & we're a big happy family now!
Me: *Drinks right before DNA test*
Circle DNA: "You're 2% milk"
*40% Bovine, because you will probably take samples with a oral swab
No no, 2% cow bc there’s dna in the cowmilk...
Plot twist: You drank only vodka before the DNA test.
🤣🤣🤣
@@mumblesbadly7708 2 percent russian
I created a lot of drama in my family by discovering that my mother had a different father than the rest of her family. Turns out I have an aunt and three uncles that I never knew about.
No, you did not create the drama. Your grandmother did when she had a child with another man. You did nothing wrong.
This is what I’m scared of 😂 When i first took the test it said I was 20% chinese and 80% Vietnamese which made sense since my grandma was half chinese. Over the course of 2 years, it now says I’m 100% Vietnamese but that makes no sense cause then my grandma isn’t my grandma then so who’s my mom’s real mom???? Which siblings are real siblings?? I’m too scared to start the suspicions
DNA proved my abusive birth father was a lying cheater his whole life... I have 2 adult siblings, each born RIGHT in the middle of each of his marriages (while he swore he was faithful throughout)
It's nice to finally understand why he was so hateful. Lying and guilt.
🥰
I found out the same about both sides of my family. Not telling anyone
This type of scenario is more common than most people think. Humans are human, no one is perfect.
I'd like to see an updated version of this. We would not only be able to compare the changes between these like before, but also the changes each company has made over these 2 years
SUPER coverage. Cannot thank you enough for your precision, your respect and your time spent as a real person on this! I learned a lot.
I would love to see someone ordering like 10 the same tests and see how consistent they are
💯
Exactly
the lab would just be filled with questions 🤣
I saw a video of some women who did 5 tests several years ago.
@@MomToEight were they consistent?
As a deaf viewer its so refreshing to see legit subtitles! Thankyou so much!!!
We should all make a complaint to youtube for getting rid of community-contributed captions. Its a crime that they would do that. and even after doing that, they still don't offer auto-generated captions on all of their videos, and the ones that do are decent but still shoddy.
I noticed this too! It was cool of him to make good subtitles. Sad though that you have to miss out on the epic intro music.
Hi. I hope this isnt inappropriate,but I am curious. When there is a subtitle like "Wind blowing" or "Soft music", is that for hearing impaired or just a consequence of computer captioning? To me its like braille on an airplane flight controls.
Deaf? You missed out on listening to William Shatner Jr. for 23 minutes.
Yeah I'd love if I could make subtitles for videos. I don't have physical but mental hearing problems, my ears can't concentrate on what I'm trying to concentrate on so I use subtitles all the time. It's really cool when creators make subtitles I love it!

Oh never noticed that. Lost interest now
About a year ago, at the age of 70, I sent in a DNA sample from a test kit that an aunt had given me a year or two before. I knew I had been adopted at birth and really didn't expect to find out much of anything. I couldn't have been more wrong. The results came back about four weeks later and 2 months after that I found out I had five full siblings, a half-brother and about 40 first cousins. I guess you're never too old to be surprised.
That's a LOT of people, wow. Glad it worked out for you!
Which one did u take?
My brothers wanted to do DNA. I never really wanted to because I suspected we be half brothers. They had no features of my father or his family only my mother. While I look like my father and have gray eyes like him. People always made comments like I was the one that looked like my father. Well I finally agreed to do DNA. Sure enough my suspicion was right. Well my two older and two younger are wondering how can that be. I just keep my mouth shut about what I saw and know. They keep asking me if I know anything and I just say no and keep my mouth shut.
@Tom Earnest - Congratulations!
Which test did you take?
Thank you for this video ! It’s exactly what I was looking for !
Great video. Lots of useful information opposed to the other "me-me-me" videos out there. Thank you for your thoroughness and time vested in this information!!!
I did 23AndMe for my birthday this year, and found an aunt my family didn't know existed from a one night stand my paternal grandfather had back in 1959. She was adopted and never knew her birth parents.
She visited us over the summer. :)
That’s amazing!
Insane how many stories like this I've heard; I grew up in Illinois, and before my great grandmother passed last year I was able to find out I had an unknown, closely related aunt across the country, a child my great grandmother had been forced to give up many years ago for financial reasons. They were able to be reunited and now the family is a little bigger! Amazing what DNA is revealing for so many
Wow you granddad was a playboy back then damnnn n66az wasn't playing word up 🤣🤣
Amazing. Same happened to my grandmothers sister. She was actually my grandparents love child that they gave up before they were married. She went on to become a professor at a university and wrote a book about her life that my grandmother later found.
Omg I almost choked on my drink
Interestingly, my father, who is adopted, met his birth parents because they took the Ancestory test. Completely changed our lives!

My husband and I both took a test. He did 23 and Me and I did Ancestry. I really liked how ancestry broke down the areas and early settlements for my ancestors. My husband however, took the 23 and me. Ironically, discovered he was NOT an only child after all. He had 4 more siblings! Somehow he managed to take the one test that 2 siblings also took and found each other and eventually discovered a great deal more about his family and the secrets within.
Just ordered mine on Ancestry I'll update when I get the results
That's so neat! My step-dad found out he has an older half sister. They got to meet up last year and they look EXACTLY ALIKE. No doubt she's really his sister.
Going to be taking one of these tests soon as I know that I have a half brother out there somewhere, and hoping to find him.

We came across, through Ancestory DNA, who is most likely my father’s half sister. His dad ran out on the family when my dad was 2. His dad was a womanizer, and had a fling with a married women who was a floozy. But her husband raised my half aunt as his own, and didn’t tell her until he was old or near death. She did a dna test, and now I have another aunt and cousins! It would be interesting for her snd my dad to do a private dna test to make sure.
Ya, I already know that I am a test tube baby. Which means that I am not genetically related to my mom even though she gave birth to me. That even means that I could have maybe like 6 half siblings who are test tube babies also.
I can definately agree with you on the part where you said MyHeritage has the upper hand for people who are mostly European.
As a person whos 3/4 European and 1/4 Asian, my results were pretty accurate compared to what i already knew before taking the DNA test, and now i feel like the results have justified it.

Oh yeah!

@@joebellingham9926 That is Lizzo
I love all of them tho
I assumed he's 100% human.
Just imagine eating before the test and the results come: You're 13% wheat.
I forgot the reason why but there was a couple who had a daughter and when she was young the father and daughter did some blood tests and were informed the daughter is not his. The couple inevitably divorced. Then when the girl was a teen she did one of these dna test and found someone else she was a high % match with and reached out to them. Turns out that girl was her sister and the baby was switched at birth at the hospital, both the mother and father that raised her were not her real parents. The couple got divorced as a result. I always remember this story whenever someone mentions DNA test.
It’s a tv show called switched at birth.
Well that's an unlikely possibility but it's easy to check anyway: make the mother do the test too. If she refuses, she has something to hide.
In most cases, it's just the father. I've read somewhere that 1/4th of the men doing a paternity test because they had doubts weren't indeed the biological father of their child(dren). Lying purposefully about such a thing should be a criminal offense honestly.
my grandmother was a nurse and 1 in every baby boomer out of 10000 was most likely switched 50s-70s had it here and there . she also said a baby died of a rich family and the hospital didn't want to get them sad/mad etc so they gave another baby and told the other hers died.
Your parents ARE THE ONES THAT RAISED YOU. Not the quicky squirt. They did not want to be responsible for you growing up.
@@bunzeebear2973 I think that in the real world, people will always care about their roots (even if it depends on the individual). They won't forget their adoptive parents, but there will always be a special place for biological parents, the ones who passed on their traits to that new generation.
This was very informative.
I have been very interested in genealogy so I did ancestry and the areas of my relatives and areas in the world I came from were dead on what I thought. I’m going to do the best health one next bc now that’s a concern for me. Thank you for this video!

Does anyone know how I can trace my fathers line back as far as possible I.e father to father.
I got to 1600 then can't find anything as to where they lived.
@@CrawfordGrimaldi try GENI they are free
I took 23 & Me a year ago, and more recently, Ancestry. The warning about discovering things you didn't know about yourself or your family : absolutely true. I found a first cousin with 23 & Me, and to make a long story very short, I discovered that my father wasn't my father. My genetic father was someone I didn't know who had passed away 3 years ago, and I have a half sister and half brother whom I've talked to but haven't met, yet. But the distant lineage results were really fascinating, and I'll be interested to see how they match up with the Ancestry test when it arrives.
Of the two, which did you find to be more informative and accurate?
@@junipjunip I love Ancestry's genealogy because it turns out that every line in my family has been in the U.S. since the late 1600's/early 1700's. What I don't love about them is that I waited long past the minimum wait time for DNA results and heard nothing. So I sent an inquiry and they said the sample must have been lost. Not their fault, but the process to get a new kit was a bit convoluted, and I have to start the waiting game all over. 12 Days after they said it shipped, I still don't have the new kit (I live in a residential area, have never had problems with my mail). It's been a few days longer than the estimated 7 - 10 business days. I hope I don't sound like a whiner, but I hoped for these results months ago. My "mail" problems are hopefully unique, but 23 & Me was easy and quick by comparison. The subscription to Ancestry's document database, however, has been amazing. Because of the DNA wait time, I've already had to renew my 3-month access and don't know what it's like to see the DNA and database working together, but the amount of information I've gotten about my family members is unreal.
@Brandon Palmer I didn't tell him. He's in his seventies, he's always treated me well, and I'm the only child he has (even if not genetically). I'm usually all for putting the truth out there, and while finding out opened up some doors I didn't know existed (including about my mother), I don't feel any differently about him. I'm not 100% sure that he'd be totally shocked. But I don't think any good would come of telling him.
@@abarton1978 But did you speak to your mother? That's more interesting conversation...
@@willbrink Yes, I did. It took her a few days to admit it, but I wouldn't have known anything for sure without her eventually telling me that she'd had a long-term affair. To be fair, she was in shock because this all happened 43 years ago, and although she wasn't positive about who my dad was, she thought (or maybe hoped) it was her husband. And nothing in 43 years had ever happened to throw that into doubt except something dad's mom said mentioned when I was born : that they'd never had anyone with my granddad's last name born with red hair. You need recessive genes from all 4 grandparents to get red hair like mine.
One of mom's comments when the truth came out was that her "sins had come back to haunt" her. I obviously don't love her any less, but I guess I realize she's more complex than I imagined - - the woman who gave birth to me isn't just "mom," and things could have gone so much differently.
Thank you for an interesting vlog! ✨🌒
Amazing video! Keep up!!
I did the 23&Me DNA test several years ago, just for fun. A few years later I was automatically connected with another women who shares 26% DNA with me! She was adopted as a baby and has been searching for information about her background and bio parents ever since she was a teenager. After connecting and chatting for a bit we found out that we are only 1 month apart in age and we share the same dad and I was able to at least point her in the right direction at finding more info about him (although him and I are estranged and he hasn't been involved in my life for the past 25 years... super dead beat guy.) I now have a half-sister I had no idea I had, and she now has an older half-sister (me) and a younger half brother (my little brother)! I wonder how many other half-siblings I can have out there in the world!
Maybe I'm wrong, but if you have 50% DNA from your dad, and she has 50% DNA from your dad, shouldn't you share 50% DNA with her? Sounds like you have a common grandparent.
@naughtyskweet6 No, full siblings / parent-child share 50% and half siblings share about 25%
@@naughtyskweet6 different mother, same father. =25% shared heredity
I was adopted on my father's side. I tried to find out if I was anyone's family and was I ever disappointed!! I found out that my father's side didn't want to know me and were extremely snobbish. Not all tests have a happy ending!!!!
My husband had two unknown half-siblings locate his family. It was known that their father was a rolling stone, so it wasn't a surprise. There could be more. 🤷♀️ Best of luck to you!
It's interesting how popular these tests are in America, where most everyone is an immigrant, because in Europe I know my family tree is just Irish and Scottish lol
That's really the big appeal aye. Similar thing in Aus where I live. Everyone's heard stories but not enough concrete evidence exists for them to know just how true they are😂
That’s what my mom thought too, till she found out no Irish just Scottish and Norwegian
"It's interesting how popular these tests are in America, where most everyone is an immigrant" a huge amount of the population is not immigrant though, rather, they are descendants from kidnapped and enslaved people and therefor literally don't know their heritage. Black americans and Native americans are not immigrants.
You'd be surprised what your heritage might be, even in Europe. I took a test from MyHeritage and found out I was 23% Celtic (Scotland, Ireland, Welsh) and 16% English even though I live in the Netherlands and my closest living family are all Dutch. I have no idea where the 'extra' DNA came from lol
@Ignacio Front I reckon you answered your own question. You KNOW you're German. Your family probably have been for centuries (I'm assuming). Most Americans, because of its founding as somewhere AGAINST British society, or because of slavery, haven't a clue where they're really from. coz realistically only Amerindians are from America historically. Therefore people get these tests
Took both Ancestry and 23andMe tests. Ancestry is far and away the best even though I ended up paying for a monthly subscription. It is wonderful for family tree building and good record resources. 23andMe gave me a more detailed breakdown, however, of where my ancestors were from…..that is, the various counties in England and Ireland. Am very glad I did both tests!
Me too.
great video, very weel deatailed, utterly professional
I found my biological father through 23 & Me when I was 24 years old. We had no idea each other existed. Turns out the dad who raised me isn't my bio father, and a lot of family members knew except for me.. 23 & Me connected us automatically (we happened to both take take the same DNA test). At the end of the day, me and my dad are closer; and I met my bio father twice now. I have 4 new half siblings (I'm the oldest on both sides). A whole bonus family, we stay in touch and plan to visit often. It's pretty cool lol
Could you explain more in detail how that happened? Did he take the test too or did the test show you his name? I would also like to find my relatives so id be so happy if you answered!
@@Dworkinsdaughter of course! So he took the same DNA test from 23&Me a few years prior. When I took mine, their database connected my father and I automatically to our “family tree”- then we were able to message each other from there. I’ve found dozens and dozens of cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. so cool :)
@@VZN2020 Did the man who raised you know that you weren't his bio kid and if not, what was the fallout for your mother?

Americans perfected pizza. I went to Italy while living in Germany a few years ago, ordered a pepperoni pizza and got a thin crusted flatbread with unseasoned tomato sauce on it. The pepperoni there? Large, 7 inch peppers that had no heat. They were slapped on the "pizza" whole. Also- NO cheese! Oddly enough, I ordered an "American Style" pizza in Freising and got exactly what I wanted. Then I kicked myself for being homesick when I still had so many German foods to sample.

Yesss!!! I love this 😂😂 ancestry was how we found out we were only half sibilings with our youngest sister but we always knew she wasnt full or that there was something different about her. We still absolutely love her the same and nothing changed although she has a close match with someone and were not sure who it could be 😅
Update: we still aren't too sure how they're related but the person who runs the account said that it was their mom and doesn't seem that eger to search further.
How did your dad react when he found your mom cheated on him?
@aggressiveblaze they had an open relationship and they already knew. They didn't tell anyone. Everyone we got introduced to when we were younger were introduced as "friends".
My dad always said he would treat her like his own and he has for the most part so there wasn't much favoritism in the house. They always had a hunch but never done an actual DNA test or anything.
Very informative video about knowledge of your ancestors.

As a Mexican who took the Ancestry test, I just want to point out that, while being completely accurate on the DNA genealogy results, when trying to explore their “civil service documents database” (so to speak), they have absolutely no access to Spanish records, that is, no records from the country of Spain, which is from where most Mexicans can trace part of their ancestry. Maybe there is more access to Spanish records on My Heritage? Just adding that there is, in fact, a quite surprising amount of Mexican records on Ancestry.
good point
probably not spain is in the EU so it falls under the data protection act, but dw your government probably gets em without asking
Did your results reveal any Peruvian roots?
Probably because your name is Juan Lopez bro
@@ALXandroATS On the Ancestry test, not at all. But I also took the CRI Genetics test, where I did in fact come up with Peruvian ancestry. Although I highly doubt the results of the CRI Genetics test, I also turned out to have Scandinavian and Indian roots, which is highly unlikely.
I sent mine in today...like 30 minutes ago.Cant wait for the results.
Excellent analysis.

after not taking any tests i found out both my parents were downstairs, it's such a miracle, i've been living in my bedroom my whole life !

Congratulations to you bro 🎊. I can't imagine the joy you must have felt when you first discovered your parents 🥺❤️.

But are you really sure that they are your biological parents? 😂
The one I took said I’m descended from Spanish nobility. I’m sticking with that one.
👍
Well, you got me beat! My grandfather was Ralph Coffey McIntyre. HIS grandfather was Colonel James A. Coffey, the founder of Coffeyville, Kansas.
@@TomCat13461 That’s cool! I’m descended from very minor nobility who were given a royal land grant in Mexico sometime in the way back, I’d have to look it up again. I’m sure if I tried to contact them (if they’re still around) they’d politely but firmly escort me off the property. It is fun knowing who and where we came from, though.

Since no other country calls themselves Americans it’s not really an abnormal statement! Never met anyone from Venezuela they call them selves in American. In the US it’s literally part of our name! Furthermore when I lived in France and no one ever asked me if I was from north or south America. I would think often skin tone (but not always) would definitely give it away! Although there are light-skinned folks throughout South America & Central America. Furthermore if somebody is of African dissent they are very rarely from South America. So this is a foolish “gotcha” statement!
@@kayjay3898 I'm under the impression you were thinking this is the usual quip folks use about the "American" appropriation by the US. This isn't it (I actually don't have an issue with that), I agree that if someone calls themselves American, they're almost certainly from the US. My joke above was just a way to point out that, in this video, they're trying to appeal to a broader audience by suggesting what's the best course of action based on where you live, but they only mention either North America (as opposed to the US) or Europe. While, in fact, there are many other countries that would be interested in a DNA test. I don't mean to fault the content creators so much as the DNA companies themselves for this. It's just how the market works, focus is where the money's coming from. But it is frustrating for us non-US/Europe residents that stuff comes first or is better in those places (especially considering European wealth as a consequence of colonial exploitation.....). Don't worry, you can keep calling yourselves Americans, your country's name doesn't really lend itself to anything different anyway... Unitedstatesian? Unitedstatish? Nah. American sounds better ;)
Further, I don't think I understand what you meant about people with African descent being very rarely from South America. Over 50% of the entire Brazilian population (the most populated country in South America) identifies with an African ethnicity...🤔But again, not sure exactly what you meant, so, elaborate? :)

A very thorough and informative video Matt. I’ve done DNA tests with Ancestry and MyHeritage. My results overall showed my genetic profiles being different for both. As one example, Ancestry has me at 90% Italian whereas MyHeritage has me at 75%. I prefer Ancestry because I’m quite familiar with their family tree tools and resources but MyHeritage has similar great tools Ancestry doesn’t such as a Tree Consistency Checker that points out date anomalies with family member profiles. Nonetheless, it’s all quite interesting and intriguing. ❤️🇮🇹🇨🇦
Myheritage I heard is famous for being highly inaccurate so I would suggest you do 23andme
Great video, very informative breakdown
It would have been useful to have had an overview of each of their privacy practices for your genetic data.
Most important comment.
Exactly! That's why I refuse to take one. Just imagine if your health insurance provider gets ahold of it, or any of your relatives? Cha-ching, up goes your rates or you are cancelled.
And police have requested peoples results from relatives of a person that they suspect of a crime. Then they have reasonable cause for a warrant for their suspects DNA.
No Thanks!
Yeah! I want to take a health one because I know that I could be at risk for a potentially genetic cancer but because of the privacy policies both me and my father who had the cancer have decided not to take the ones we've looked at.
You can actually find their privacy policies on each respective website...
@@mikeymike758 I've seen that. Sure I'm glad when a bad person is caught, that's not the way to do it.
Ancestry’s settler group accuracy is incredible. They correctly pinpointed that my ancestors were settlers of Minnesota, despite that only happening in the mid to late 1800’s! That is crazy accurate because I had no idea my ancestors from that period had enough descendants where they could tell I was related to that settler group.
How far did it go, I mean timeline-wise? Thank you
And X YZs real name is Ollie.... Ya' yabethca.... hard to believe...
@dev null Well, I'm no shill and I can say that the settler route accuracy with the one I tried was absolutely spot on to the old fashioned paper trail genealogy my Uncle had compiled many years ago (pre computer - can you imagine). They were a classic specific movement group - early Scots-Irish to N.Eng. into Penn. down to the Carolinas across the mountains into Ky and Tenn. (classic Daniel Boone family route as well).
I live where they started settling, south west Minnesota.
I agree. My Ancestry results showed my grandfather's Scots-Irish roots all the way back to the settlers of Appalachia around the mid 1700s. Was incredible to find out!
A very well researched and presented video.
Super helpful reviews. Thanks
