Europe hasn't been static for the past hundreds of years. There has been significant migration patterns throughout Europe starting during the late medieval period. For the British Isles, you need to remember after Elizabeth I loyal Scottish aristocracy were often rewarded with Irish lands. The English aristocracy weren't keen to settle outside of England before the Industrial Revolution. Then there were the Inclosure Acts that cleared English peasants off their farms, so a lot moved to mainland Europe and then America and then Ireland. During the French religious wars a lot of French moved to southeast England. And then the Potato Famine happened and a lot of Irish moved to England, Scotland, America, Canada, South Africa and Australia. Last biggest wave of migration from the British Isles was post-WW2. Massive housing loss from the war and overpopulation resulted in movement to Canada, war brides to America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. End result is British Isles are very mixed European. My observation is many American DNA tests have more English DNA results than the English do.
The results have just been updated, it would be interesting to see how they've changed. Every time mine change I become more Scottish, Swedish and Norwegian. Great fun, great family, really lovely video x
That is so interesting! I had no idea that they could change! Definitely going to check that out now! Thanks so much for watching and your kind words ♥️
Main Street ASA I think they update them every year or so. The more people get tested the more data they have to compare us to, so the results become more accurate. Also, they add more regions, because they break areas up. They’ve just separated England and Wales, also Ireland and Scotland. You can’t take the results as 100% accurate, they would probably need half of the planet to be tested, but it does give a good guesstimate. My husband started off about 80% Italian, then went down to 34% Italian and 53% French! I was shocked at first but they did include a lot of Northern Italy in the French section. Anyway, now he’s gone back to 78% Northern Italian and 19% French, which sounds about right. They also separated Northern and Southern Italy this time, so it’s just becoming more accurate every time they do an update. I also had a shock in the ‘cousins’ section, someone none of the family knew about. Turned out good for my family but it can upset some people if they’re not expecting it. I think it’s great fun, I’ve had my account since 2011 and I really love it 💖🏝💖
If you check the centrimorgan numbers (cM), you can see who the kids are more genetically similar to. For example, I share more cMs with my brother and my half-sister than they share with each other.
I love this! Hope to do it one day myself. I also think it’s cool old crimes are being solved using familial dna! Also I love that Kenni said she’s related to the Swedish Chef 😆
Such a great video to watch! So it looks like you’re all as British as me. AncestryDNA have had an update recently so check them out! I’m 60% England 23% Scotland 12% Ireland 3% Norway 2% Sweden. Love from London, UK. I see you’re a Tampa Bay supporter. I’ve worked on that stadium 🏟 😁 🇬🇧✌🏻🇺🇸 Also we get 50% of our genes from both parents so no parent is dominant. Cheers!
Wow this is cool I’m wondering if I should get ansestory or not because I got My Heritage but it says North Africa and West Asia but they are big places so I would like to know where ABOUT in those places, does ansestory tell me? Also cool Video!
Main Street ASA sure! But you know if it says like Scandinavian, does it show where about? Because I know I’m North African but that’s a big place so I would like to know where in North Africa lol
@Alexander KPM MyHeritage as a lot less users, thus less sample data to compare with. So they have broad regions. Ancestry and 23&Me have the largest testing bases and a lot more tested regions. Also, with Ancestry & 23&Me you can download your Raw DNA data and upload it to other sites like MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, or LivingDNA for free. Though it will cost around $20 to get their Ethnicity estimate.
I thought that it may be interesting that I found that my first-great grandparents were actually distant cousins from the early 1700s in Virginia. That of course happened all the time before the colonization of America.
I actually found the same for my maternal grandmother's grandparents. Basically, my grandma's grandpa's great-grandfather was her grandma's grandfather.
I am 47% Scottish (Scottish Highlands) , 26% Irish (Munster), 19% England and Northwestern Europe, 3% Norway, 3% Sweden, 2% Wales. My Mom also took it and she got 38% Scottish, 46% Irish, 16% England and Northwestern Europe. My Dad’s side was 7% Scottish, 18% Irish, 60% England and Northwestern Europe, 5% Norway, 2% Sweden, 8% Wales. I got ALL the Scottish lol
Your scandinavian part comes from britain as well...all british people get scandinavian dna ...vikings had relocated in british isles by 10th century...
Want to do one of these. It'd be exciting though I don't think I'd be too surprised. I don't really have to guess too much haha I'm super fair skinned. German, scottish and welsh. Maybe norweigian
Congratulations 🎊🎈🎉🍾 on your and your family’s DNA 🧬 ethnicities results!!!!! I was adopted and I tried some 🧬 companies to know what I’m mixed with. PS You should try 23andme.
730 Mŷ Thank you!! We probably will give 23and me a try in the future! Love to compare the two. Hope you were able to figure out more about your roots!
Main Street ASA Thank you!!!! I met my half sister through Ancestry.com!!!! God bless you and your family!!!! PS I’m a proud OIF Veteran and mutt!!!! 🙂
What you see is representative of 1/2 of your heritage. You could have 49% of your heritage Native American and it could not show up. It isn't proportionate of your ethnicity - just the souvenir DNA that was passed down. So dive in and do your family tree and discover the faces and stories and THAT is even MORE exciting than learning your DNA results.
I've done Ancestry and MyHeritage DNA over the years and have just sent away for a kit from a third company. The two I have are similar but different. MyHeritage hasn't updated my results at all but Ancestry has had two updates. I bought the third kit because they claim to do Deeper DNA as well and I want that. Plus the migration routes and timelines for my various ethnic groups.
The genes that were passed on to you from your parents show up somewhat different between siblings. Your brother(s) or sister(s) collect the same number, but (random) various genes from each of your parents. Do Not Be Surprised ...... if your DNA ethnicity varies. Remember they are a RANGE. Stop looking at exact percentages. Also, don't be surprised if your Native American DNA does not register as the NA testing has many facets of understanding; to include: sample size, DNA identity/verification, and the percentage of your DNA must approach a minimum of 1% to register. Example: I have 19 Native American Ancestors, but ZERO show up as an Ethnicity Category because they well short of a registerable 1 %. Hope this explains a few misconceptions about understanding DNA Ethnicity Results.
Thanks!! Genetics is so fascinating and complicated! That's so interesting about your NA ancestry and how it doesn't show up...I'll definitely be digging deeper!
The children only get ethnicity dna from their parents. They take a random 50% from each parent. Your parents probably have Native American DNA , but you didn’t get it.
I was born and bred in England and yet I've only got 3% DNA from here!🤔👌👌 88% is from Ireland and Scotland 👌This is all from the new update. Oh and i got 9% from Norway as well😁
I got mine this week even though I'm English mine is 36 percent English and northwest Europe 30 percent Ireland 23 percent Scottish and 11 percent Wales
Pretty interesting kids can be more of one ethic group then both parents. I always thought it would be somewhere in between. Maybe this is why a lot of African American look biracial when both parents are clearly black.
It's mostly a mix of genes from both parents and some that are non dominant in the parent can show up in their children as a dominant trait which would explain the variation in skin color
americans have alot of english as u can see from your results but the term northwestern europe could be not only english but also belgium holland france so you might be less than 72% english maybe 40/50% something like this or it also could be just english you should try other companies and ask about this
Feel mtdna is good to have, found out mine is rare in Europe so leads to different mileage in other regions. So true that feel more kinship when get results. But I still baby protect medieval culture status that is not talked about in family, like Eastern German, Amber Trail. Does not show in dna results as 97.5% british isles using living dna. Can upload dna txt to mytrueancestry, helps find ancient relatives. Ancestry.com shows 20% german europe but does not tell story of last records in west german 1600s to 1300s East German surname origin. So take with grain of salt as these branches aren't both sides but split further back. Cant do full medieval history to one region like maybe some modern natives can, though feel many do have that migration story.
@@MainStreetASA 1600s were turbulent and neat to follow online oral traditions to surnames to go origin to 1300s. DNA cousin matches to me . . .is ok enough to keep story or interest going,.

I have had five DNA tests. I was also able to test three of my remaining siblings just before my younger brother died. Two of my older siblings had already died. I have discovered a first cousin who was adopted and I was able to figure out and give her ourside of her family. She was delighted. I also have found two children of my late brother who was a life-long musician and fond of ... oh never mind. Only one of my brother's children responded and I sent him photos and other information on his father.
I've been told I was Native American, German, irish, Dutch and French...WELL! after AncestryDNA, not a drop of Native American, and Irish turned into Scottish. Go figure.
Watching some more, you "guys" should ignore 3% or lower. DNA doesn't change (until another, er, "event"), but analysis does. 3% is close to the error in analysis, but actually the more DNA tests there are the better the analysis becomes. So, even 3% may be wrong in the future. It wasn't 3% error, just new analysis with better information from more DNA.
That's not true, my mother started with only 2% Swedish and after several updates it went to 5% Swedish and now 9% Swedish plus I have actually found the Swedish ancestor it was my great-great grandfather so yeah you can't just discount the small percentages, they still come from your ancestors even if they're small it's still part of you and if you just ignore it you might not ever find the ancestors it came from.
Kids get 50-50 from parents, but each kid may get a different/random 50% from each so the combinations may differ.
Absolutely! Genetics is so interesting! Thanks for watching!
england and NORTHWESTERN europe can also include germany, the low countries, and some of france
Really? Thanks!
This counts all dna not just dominant genes
Remember when it says England Wales and NorthWestern Europe, it includes, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Europe hasn't been static for the past hundreds of years. There has been significant migration patterns throughout Europe starting during the late medieval period.
For the British Isles, you need to remember after Elizabeth I loyal Scottish aristocracy were often rewarded with Irish lands. The English aristocracy weren't keen to settle outside of England before the Industrial Revolution. Then there were the Inclosure Acts that cleared English peasants off their farms, so a lot moved to mainland Europe and then America and then Ireland. During the French religious wars a lot of French moved to southeast England. And then the Potato Famine happened and a lot of Irish moved to England, Scotland, America, Canada, South Africa and Australia. Last biggest wave of migration from the British Isles was post-WW2. Massive housing loss from the war and overpopulation resulted in movement to Canada, war brides to America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
End result is British Isles are very mixed European. My observation is many American DNA tests have more English DNA results than the English do.
There will be many Americans more English 🏴than the average Brit 🇬🇧
