Thanks so much! You made my day! I was just as excited as everyone else. I recorded this video the day the results were ready and edited it as fast as I could.
Allyson Ryce, Thank you for making such Awesome DNA Results video! It is Fantastic that your Family is on board in unlocking the secrets of your DNA lineage! Bravo! :-)
Cassandra Sellers, M.A. Thanks so much! Yeah, my family have seen me work on the family tree for over 8 years, so I'm glad that they were on board with me taking my search one step further. They've been good sports! ❤
He's 73 years old. Colonialism forced black people back then to think that whites were Gods to be worshiped. The ones who didn't comply were killed. That way of thinking was passed down from generation to generation. It's just Stockholm syndrome; a huge mental side effect of slavery. 🤷🏾♀️
@@AlisonRyce you ever stopped, and thought outside of the box about the Irish blood in your family. The Irish were brought to the Islands, and were servants. The bred with Africans in the Islands. They didn't rape the Africans in the Islands. It's more uncommon to be from one of the Islands, and not have Irish blood in you. People need to be educated about the Irish blood they have in them instead of jumping to conclusions about how they got their Irish blood
@@buschgardenandbeer7041 Thanks for sharing! Yup! In the 10 years of building my family tree & traveling to the Caribbean, I've looked at all avenues. I'm not talking about my Irish Ancestors that were in Barbados; I'm talking about the Colorism that came as a result of Colonization. Marrying a light-skinned man like my father guaranteed a better way of life for my dark-skinned mother's children. That meant better jobs & more opportunities. We still suffer with that in the Caribbean today & I hope that way of thinking dies out.
@@buschgardenandbeer7041 Stop it. There many Irish Slave owners and overseers in Barbados, and other colonies. One of the main ones was The Emerald Island aka Monserrat! The Irish in Barbados weren’t slaves, they were prisoners of war. As the British and Irish have been in tribal warfare for 800 years lol
Oh, sorry that you lost your dad. Fortunately, when you use your mom's results, whoever is related to you but not related to her are your dad's relatives. You can still get your DNA relatives figured out.
Im sorry no offense to your dad but i cant take when some old West Indians talk about having white in them is good..........apparently forgetting it was due to slavery i have old folks in my family do the same thing like its a token or something. it really irritates me. Of course hes gonna have Indian and native. Im also from Trinidad by the way.
bernadette strubing No offense taken. I understand what you were saying. My generation notices that the generations before us suffers from stockholm syndrome. I'm not upset at it, it's just how they coped with what happened in the past. We live in the information age where we are one click or phone call away from licensed mental health professionals, so things are a lot different for us. I celebrate the differences that we all share, but I do it at a healthy level. I don't worship other cultures and think that they are better than mine. Unfortunately, some of our parents think & act differently from that belief.
Girlllll you tellin me i had a elder always boasting about being German as you can see our surname is Strubing which we got from him he however wasnt a slave owner but a German soldier that came to Trinidad during the war and never went back to Germany and the rest is history. But they always boasting and im like .......yall boast about being African too nah lol yuh know. I subscribed by the way great vid
It is important to state that not all European blood has come through rape. In Jamaica there are are Germans and Chinese Jamaicans that have been there nearly 200 years. It's very easy and lazy to assume that if you are black and have European genes, that it must have come through rape. I really don't understand why some people get so angry about other people's past and history.Yes people from the Windies like to celebrate having difference in their families which is not due to rape, what is wrong with that?Is that envy that they know their families history and you don't? Mind your own business and keep your nasty remarks to yourself! Because the way some of you lash out is very telling. .....
Hi Doreen, the word "rape" or anything referring to rape weren't used anywhere in the video above or in this conversation thread. Did you perhaps reply in the wrong thread?
bernadette strubing dude chill who cares that's apart of his dna he allowed to be happy about it that what makes up his dna african white native american dna he not full african he a black carribean just like her mother is even know she has more african then european stoo bringing the pass up about slaves that was way back before you and I were born you can't keep spreading hate and that was not even rape the black and white were already sleeping with each other that's why they have offsprings everywhere that's how you know everyone race is not pure were all humans tho
Both maternal and paternal haplogroup are of African origin. His European DNA comes from his mothers side around 1830... it isn't difficult to guess how it got there
The results are approximation. If you retake it, it will be slightly different. If you take it from another compagny they will be quite different, just broadly similar. My point is, you took exactly 50% of your DNA from your parent. The -0.2% difference is just statistical error.
Not to sound creepy or anything but I dont think I've been more excited/anxious to see someone else's DNA results in my life 😂! You have a really beautiful family with such a rich heritage! It's always interesting to see results from Islanders and other mixed race people. My results would be extremely boring coz my whole family and lineage is probably 100% African.
brayo144 No, you don't sound creepy at all. I'm happy that I can share my excitement with others. Your heritage isn't boring at all. I wish I knew more about my own African roots. Cherish your gift & enjoy it for me. 😎
I do cherish my roots but its so much more interesting to watch the results from mixed race people cause you never know what they'll find. Its like a puzzle! You can always come to Kenya, we will gladly adopt you! The love for the Caribbean is strong here trust me! All you have to say is you are from the Caribbean and do a sexy Trini dutty wine and you will be granted instant citizenship lol! (Okay, im joking about the citizenship but you get what I mean :)
vote 4me You can't make such a broad sweeping generalization like that. Besides, rape has been a tool of the conqueror from the beginning of time. Furthermore, I find it quaint that so many are "washing their hands off" European ancestry; yet I've never heard anyone argue for Africans globally to let go of their oppressors' slave religion; the very same religion that enslaved their ancestors. Africans globally suffer from collective amnesia and have forgotten or have no knowledge of their ancestor's belief system. Yet they still cling to these Abrahamic religions. Don't you find it quaint that the oppressed worship the same god as their oppressors???
Where are you from? Unless you are from continental Europe, Asia or Africa, you are likely to be mixed to some extent. And even continental Europeans, Asians and Africans who think their lineage is homogenous can have various origins simply because of human history of travelling and mixing.
So my question is your family is in the Caribbean so it’s so amazing how your dad had so many members around the world so I’m hoping there is hope from me my family is from Trinidad and Barbados and Antigua
@@simonedurham3934 My family lives in the United States. As of today, 23&Me/AncestryDNA doesn't ship to the Caribbean as yet. My brother-in-law lives in Asia. He purchased the kit, had it mailed to my address, & I mailed it to his foreign address. When it was time to mail it to get it tested, he mailed it back to my address and I then i dropped it off at the Post Office to mail to the lab. It's a longer process, but it was worth it.
Awesome results with ur daddy.(i share the same haplogroup as ur dad( L1b1a).i wish my dad was alive so i could do this myself but hes been gone for many yrs, i guess the closes with be my 2 brothers...
Yes, you can definitely test one of your two brothers. sorry about your dad; I wish my grandmother was still alive to be tested too. It sucks, but i'm glad that you still have a way to get your Paternal Haplogroup. Thanks for sharing.
I've really enjoyed watching all your DNA test results vids. I'm curious as to whether you've connected with any of the people who you matched with & if you've figured out how you're related? I can't imagine how much more difficult it must be to put together an extended tree if your family was displaced a few generations ago and you come from places where records were either not well kept or have been destroyed; so I hope the DNA results can help with that in some way. And even if you don't necessarily connect all the dots you gain lots of wonderful stories from newly discovered distant cousins. :)
Thanks!!! I've connected with a few leads and so far i've been able to add one woman to my family tree! It was so exciting and I was so happy to connect with her. She is my third cousin (23andMe was spot on with their prediction) and her husband turned out to be my boyfriend Nigel's third cousin! What a crazy coincidence! My most exciting connection is with a man from Zalivé, Togo. He's cousins with me on my mom's side. His family moved to the coastal region of the country in the early 1500's. It was from there that some of the family members were captured and taken to the Caribbean. One of those family members was my ancestor! I have African cousins now! I wanted to do backflips when I connected with him! Thanks for asking! ❤️
That's really awesome. And wow, that really is a crazy coincidence, it's a small world really. It must be really great to start to fill in those blanks and find your cousins in Africa. I'm British, so I can only imagine what my results would be (something like British, Irish & north western European/Scandinavian, maybe a little French or something like that lol).
Yeah, my dad looks nothing like his dad & everything like his mom. It's the opposite for me. I have my daddy's face & not my mom's face. Thanks for watching!
Btw, you resemble my late cousin's daughter, she's a mix of Himba & Nama (Nama are Khoi-people from southern & south west Africa) . Her complexion is a tad lighter than you, but not much. It's amazing to spot the similarities between continental Africans and our African family in the diaspora!
There were two tribes in the Caribbean island of Trinidad Taino Indians and Carib Indians of course the spaniards kept Coming to the islands so there were some mixing thats why he has only 12%
I know!!!!! I couldn't believe it when I received the email that it was ready!!! I instantly told my dad that it was ready and we started recording this video as soon as I got off work that day!
Really? Thanks, I've just sent a request to join the group. 🙂 What's your cousin's name & on which platform are we connected? (23&Me/ GedMatch) My IG is @CaribResource
During the American Revolution War, some of the African Americans who helped the British fought went to live in Trindad ,that were called Amerikkans.. maybe the related families are from when his great great great father came to Trindad
Very cool. I thought your father would have a European paternal haplogroup since he is lighter-skinned. I also thought he would have more European in general. But it goes to show you can't judge genes just by looks.
5595542Angor I totally agree with you. I thought that he would have more European as well, but his results makes a lot of sense to me. The couples on my father's side of the family were all polar opposites. His grandfather was very light skined and his wife was very dark. Their daughter (dad's mom, shown at 3:14) turned out light like her father (with red hair) and she married a dark skinned man. They had my dad and he married my mom who has a dark complexion as well. Even though his complexion looks like he could be 70-79 African, his Father & maternal Grandmother pushed his African Average higher. When it came to his paternal haplogroup, I wasn't shocked about that. His late Father (shown at 3:14) could've possibly been 95+ African.
+Alison Ryce do you think you can tell how much African someone has by their skin complexion? Do you think light-skin black people have more African then Dark-skinned people?
azure kite Well, I was basing it on more than skin complexion. My dad's family are natural red heads and many of them (including his mom) had gray or hazel eyes. Let me explain further; I'm from a place in the Caribbean where people don't encounter Europeans much. Anyone that Isn't very dark or don't fit into the stereotypical "African" look is considered mixed or called "white". Believe it or not, many people in my community back home considered my father a white man. When you live in a nation that's half African & half Indian (dark Indians from south India), your imagination might go a little wild when it comes to other people that don't live in your country.
+Alison Ryce So what if someone is mixed-race and their dark skin like the typical African, do you and people in your country consider them mixed or black?
I can tell by looking at your father he has some white in him .and it makes sense if they came from Barbados ; the white would be British Isles: Irish .WIth predominate African , the small amount of European,must have been very light WHite people;because in genetic ; dark predominates ;and to show brown,most likely the whites were very white .
DeMar Binns Be proud of any of the good that transpired within all your bloodlines. My dna is so diverse that if i wanted to hate on anyone, i would be hating on everyone...
I know you meant no disrespect to Europeans when you say that. I kept it in the back of my mind that I just might have a European paternal Haplogroup. On a good note, you're fortunate because you have the opportunity to trace your ancestry further back than those with African Paternal Haplogroups. Another thing to keep in mind, mostly all descendants of people that were enslaved have European Haplogroups in our families. I strongly believe that my dad's mom has strong Paternal Irish roots. My plan is to test her brother (dadd's Uncle) to test that theory.
Alison Ryce Oh absolutely! I actually didn't mean anything malice towards Europeans. Just that I've always been proud and enamoured with my Africaness, and wasn't quite prepared to be anything else. But, now I'm settled with the fact that at least my mt haplo group started in Africa 40 thousand years ago. Now, concerning your father's uncle, please do the test for him, and post a video about it ☺
I've seen a couple of African Americans with 100% scores, and I'm sure there are plenty more, but DNA tests might not be affordable to everybody. I did mine with DNA Tribes, still waiting for the results. My parents were both Namibian by nationality, I know my fathers side are all Owambo/Ovambo people and my mothers side are a bit more "mixed" (my maternal grandfather had parents who were Chokwe & Ovimbundu, and my mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all Himba) . I hope there's some khoi-san in my DNA as well as the aforementioned ethnic groups. Can't wait to see the results of your other family-members!
Your dad Paternal haplogroup is from the Linage of Shem. He is a Hebrew Israelite. If you goggle the Haplogroup E Tree it gives all the subgroups of E which is E1b1a. This has been proven scientifically. Also, there are several great TH-cam and Amazon videos that give great academic sources for their research. But, Hebrew to Negro is a great series to watch and start your journey. Most Africa slaves were Hebrew.
hachadi soukayna That's what I've heard growing up all my life. My dad was the "Asian" one out of his brothers and sisters. They told me that I looked Asian when I was born. We really thought that he would have more Asian in his results, but that thought went away after seeing my own results. After getting my results, I learned so much more about Africa. My slant eyes came from my 90.3% West African genes, not from my 0.7% Asian genes. I had no idea that Africa was so diverse. I'm not ashamed to admit that because African history wasn't taught where I grew up. Now that we live in the information age, I can learn as much as I want to. These DNA tests have opened my eyes to who I really am and I'm enjoying this journey. 😎
Many African or Caribbean people have almond shape eyes.I am French Carribean and have almond shape eyes and so does my daughter and my sisters and grandfather also so I was convinced I might have some east Asian blood somewhere and it turn out that my 78% African,mainly from Nigeria and 15% from Ireland,4% eastern européen,and 3% from Middle East so where is the East Asian blood???Almond shape eyes doesn’t always equates to having East Asian blood.
Very good results!! A lot of us fans were waiting on your father's results. :-)

When you live in a nation that's half African & half Indian (dark Indians from south India), your imagination might go a little wild when it comes to other people that don't live in your country.
+Alison Ryce So what if someone is mixed-race and their dark skin like the typical African, do you and people in your country consider them mixed or black?
You would be better off doing the test with Ancestry because 23 and Me aren't that good.
🙏🙏🙏grand pa.
West Africa isn't a country, neither is North West Europe, she doesn't mentioned the countries dna wise, weird .
Wow I’m L1b and m-4254!!!! Wow!!!!
YAYAYAY! Hi family!!! 🙌🏾 Thanks for sharing!!
Alison Ryce Hiiii fam!! And no prob 😁
cool
Thanks for watching!
You have Indian in you !!!! Yay sister !!!!
Beautiful family
Thanks!!!! 😊
Wow that's a lot of african.
I can tell by looking at your father he has some white in him .and it makes sense if they came from Barbados ; the white would be British Isles: Irish .WIth predominate African , the small amount of European,must have been very light WHite people;because in genetic ; dark predominates ;and to show brown,most likely the whites were very white .
your father has the same haplogroup as Me
I'm sad that my paternal haplo group started in Europe.
DeMar Binns Be proud of any of the good that transpired within all your bloodlines. My dna is so diverse that if i wanted to hate on anyone, i would be hating on everyone...
gigi ngala Thank you
I know you meant no disrespect to Europeans when you say that. I kept it in the back of my mind that I just might have a European paternal Haplogroup. On a good note, you're fortunate because you have the opportunity to trace your ancestry further back than those with African Paternal Haplogroups.
Another thing to keep in mind, mostly all descendants of people that were enslaved have European Haplogroups in our families. I strongly believe that my dad's mom has strong Paternal Irish roots. My plan is to test her brother (dadd's Uncle) to test that theory.
Alison Ryce Oh absolutely! I actually didn't mean anything malice towards Europeans. Just that I've always been proud and enamoured with my Africaness, and wasn't quite prepared to be anything else. But, now I'm settled with the fact that at least my mt haplo group started in Africa 40 thousand years ago. Now, concerning your father's uncle, please do the test for him, and post a video about it ☺
I've seen a couple of African Americans with 100% scores, and I'm sure there are plenty more, but DNA tests might not be affordable to everybody. I did mine with DNA Tribes, still waiting for the results. My parents were both Namibian by nationality, I know my fathers side are all Owambo/Ovambo people and my mothers side are a bit more "mixed" (my maternal grandfather had parents who were Chokwe & Ovimbundu, and my mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all Himba) . I hope there's some khoi-san in my DNA as well as the aforementioned ethnic groups. Can't wait to see the results of your other family-members!
Your dad Paternal haplogroup is from the Linage of Shem. He is a Hebrew Israelite. If you goggle the Haplogroup E Tree it gives all the subgroups of E which is E1b1a. This has been proven scientifically. Also, there are several great TH-cam and Amazon videos that give great academic sources for their research. But, Hebrew to Negro is a great series to watch and start your journey. Most Africa slaves were Hebrew.
Lol, no
in my opinion ur father looks asian more than african
hachadi soukayna That's what I've heard growing up all my life. My dad was the "Asian" one out of his brothers and sisters. They told me that I looked Asian when I was born. We really thought that he would have more Asian in his results, but that thought went away after seeing my own results.
After getting my results, I learned so much more about Africa. My slant eyes came from my 90.3% West African genes, not from my 0.7% Asian genes. I had no idea that Africa was so diverse. I'm not ashamed to admit that because African history wasn't taught where I grew up. Now that we live in the information age, I can learn as much as I want to. These DNA tests have opened my eyes to who I really am and I'm enjoying this journey. 😎
Alison Ryce my African American brother in law has slanted eyes, too! Good info!
He looks very much south East Asian like filipinos Indonesian that part 😃 and you guys are beautiful mix with those little hint of those mix races
Many African or Caribbean people have almond shape eyes.I am French Carribean and have almond shape eyes and so does my daughter and my sisters and grandfather also so I was convinced I might have some east Asian blood somewhere and it turn out that my 78% African,mainly from Nigeria and 15% from Ireland,4% eastern européen,and 3% from Middle East so where is the East Asian blood???Almond shape eyes doesn’t always equates to having East Asian blood.
Hebrew dna proving
Interesting video!
