Thanks for your kind comments about my video! As you can see, I'm not an expert in this topic at all. I did the test because a lot of people were asking me to do it and I thought it would make a fun video so it's interesting to hear your opinion as someone who knows a lot about geneology.
Thanks for introducing my channel to some more people!
Very happy you enjoyed! It was great to learn a bit more about the history of indigenous people in Central America from your video. A few of my viewers actually told me about your videos and when I did a poll on which video to react to next, yours won!
I guessed u might be indigenous as soon as I read Mexican and saw ur face. Its so great to hear about ur heritage.
I like watching both of your videos, so it was very nice to see him commenting on her video! I am interested in all the ancestry stuff because like most people I want to know where I came from. But at the end of the day, I think we are all somehow related to each other.
You're absolutely beautiful! I enjoyed your video. I was born in Guatemala but I have a lot of Mexican friends and relatives. I'd love to get my DNA tested but I don't trust these companies. 😁🤷♀️
La Karencita is one of my favourite TH-camrs and I can't believe she didn't tell me you made a video featuring her. What a great complement to her video - interesting!
Despite the surnames, most Filipinos do *not* have Spanish ancestry (though a small minority do). This is because they chose Spanish surnames rather than inherited them. SO if you meet a Filipino named 'Loida Guzman', that does not mean she has a Spanish ancestor whose last name was Guzman.
It's similar to African american surnames in the US. Upon emancipation, many former slaves took on the last name of the plantation owner, however some chose surnames purely at random. This is how it was in the Philippines.
So the superficial resemblance between Filipinos and Mexicans is mostly due to the East Asian-Amerindian connection, not to an assumed Iberian one.
I wonder what she would get if she uploaded her results to WeGene.
Accurate. The Mestizo population in the Philippines has European ancestry. “Mestizo” on the islands also refers to people with mixed Chinese or mixed Indian ancestry, which are also relatively small ethno-cultural groups that in the last few generations are much less likely to maintain a separate cultural identity and have largely assimilated into the gene pool of the Islands. As for more recent admixture there are small but measurable segments of the population with Japanese, Korean, Iranian, and American ancestry. I know two Filipino siblings that have Irish ancestry, as their grandfather was an Irish immigrant that established a farming business of some sort. I don’t believe that there was an Irish immigration wave of any sort though, I think they just represent a unique case.
Hi Brian! I'm part Mexican American from my mother's side. We're from California. My Mexican ancestry is from the Northern part of Mexico (Durango, Zacatecas). My father is Chinese Filipino born in Cavite, Philippines. Although I have no Spanish dna from my filipino side I do have it from my Mexican side. We do have Spanish surnames on my filipino side. I have a half sister that is full filipino and dark skinned and she looks Native American or Hispanic. Then I have another half sister that looks Thai and a half brother that looks chinese. I pretty much look mix. Half hispanic/chinese asian and light skinned. I agree with you....the majority of filipinos do not have Spanish dna and people get mixed up thinking their Native American or Hispanic. I see it all the time with other Filipinos.
I think WeGene recently stopped taking uploads of DNA, maybe a few months ago. I agree it would be interesting to know what her results would be there.
Ty!!!! I try to tell ppl this. I'm filipino on my fathers side and white american on my mom's. Ppl always say im not asian because my last name is Spanish and i "look mexican". Like no I'm mixed, my dad looks asian, mom is blonde. The last name confuses it more. And then so many Filipinos spreading usually false Spanish ancestry stories around. .It's so annoying.
@@barghast Oh, what a bummer. Thanks though for the update on WeGene!
This was so interesting because I have met many indigenous workers from Mexico that work on the farms here in Canada during the spring to fall months. Most of them resemble her very closely and when I talked to them, they did not call themselves Mexicans but Yucatec Mayans and a few were Tzotzil Mayans. They spoke their native language and only Spanish when they talked to me mixed in with a bit of French they learned over the years working here. Such beautiful warm kind yet very spiritual people.
The Mayan area has a stronger identity, it was dominated by the Spanish very late. They still speak their language and do many cultural things that are only Mayan. They understand their history better than the rest of México where it is true for most of us that we are mixed, but some groups are not, these groups are mostly in the center and south of the country like the Mayans that you met
They will identify as Indigenous. Being Mexican is only a nationality.
I am mexican but I'm really Huasteco from la Huasteca Potosína, I'm very proud being Huasteco more than mexican. Mexican is just a nationality.
A co-worker from Spain said that some Filipinos have surnames that have largely disappeared from Spain. They are recognizable surnames to Spaniards but are now very uncommon in Spain.
Wow. Yes agreed in general cultural elements too. When I visited Filipines, some foods too were obviously Latino but no longer eaten by Latin people, like Lechon. That word is also an archaic form of 🐖 that isn't used anymore.
I went to the Philippines in the late 1990s. My last name is Sanchez, and they asked me how a white guy got a Filipino last name! Lol
Yea because Filipinos adopted Spanish last names by order of Spain for tax collecting purposes
I love that she is nearly 100% indigenous
I knoww. I like her. She's smart and seems to be a nice person.
Thats more common where she is from, farther away from the coasts where invaders traders and immigrants would mix into the population. So now there is still a small pocket of mostly indigenous people that makes up the majority of one of the mexican states but i can't recall the name.
Explains why she looks so Asian
@@jessyvalentine7492maybe Oaxaca?
O was wondering where are all these mayans and aztecians now, so here it is, malimg yourube videos
Hi, my DNA results were 55% Mayan, and the rest of the European countries, of course Spanish and Italian, were the highest knowingly to my family. we have being direct decent .my eyes are hazel green, and my hair is blonde. So I don't stress much about the % of the results
Are you mexican ?
My Mexican side had very little Native American and was really a mix of lots of European stuff with Jewish thrown in. I didn't expect it. French, Italian, Irish, Portuguese, Spanish.
When I went to the West Coast, for awhile I was mistaking the local Native people for Filipino. Then it dawned on me that the people working in a band-owned gas station probably weren't Filipino, and I suddenly realized I'd seen a lot of people lately that I'd been misclassifying. I'm from Saskatchewan so I had a very different mental image of Native people, based on Cree, Dakota, etc. We tend to lump them together but there's a lot of variety among Indigenous American peoples.
Yeah Algonquin and Siouxian tribes have very Neanderthal type features probably because of the high amount of Neanderthal DNA
@@kaylasilverfox473source? Neanderthals lived in europe, seems illogical that theyd end up mingling with the asians who crossed the landbridge. Im 99% english, and i have a very high percentage of Neanderthal dna. My family is short and very muscular, 23andme said i have the muscular genetics of an elite athlete lol.
That’s cool I’m ojibwe couchiching First Nation :) but I am Mexican too , my dad is from Mexico and mom is from Canada 🇨🇦
@@jessyvalentine7492 Yeah, Neanderthal ancestry is most common in European DNA and pretty much zero in indigenous American DNA
Indigenous people came from Asia through the land bridge that was connecting Asia and North America.
This is why a lot of latinos have some Asian traits. The DNA test didn't explain much.
That is still very much a theory that people keep bringing up. The reason why there’s no explanation is because the DNA results say indigenous to the Americas and sometimes little to NONE Asian DNA
It makes since that she’s full blooded Native American and she gets mistaken for Filipina. Filipinos, although colonized by Spain like Central America, have very little Spanish ancestry because Europeans (Spaniards) did not settle in the Philippines in large numbers. South Asian and Pacific Islanders can look similar to Aztecs.
There are several ways asían DNA could appear in mexican ancestry. First, as You mentioned the asían origin of indigenous inhabitants. Second there have been numerous waves of immigrants From asia to México and several other countries in America (the continent), people from Japan, Korea, Philippines, China, Vietnam, Mongolia, India, etc. Third, during the spanish Empire era and part of the independent life of México there was a commercial route between Asia and the American continent, particulary between the spanish colony of Philippines and México (New Spain).
Natives didn't really mix with asians
I watched her video several weeks ago and encouraged her to encourage her mother to do the DNA testing too. I think it would be cool to see what she inherited from her mother and therefore she'd see what she inherited from her father. I also thought it was so interesting to see someone from Mexico/South America region of the world (and not from a more isolated region/culture) to get back an admixture that was fully native.
Wouldn’t her mother be very similar to her since she’s almost fully indigenous
Had a really hard time hearing her compared to your voice. I have on max and your audio is very loud and I can barely hear her. However, I still think its a good video. I turned on Captions so I could see what she was saying. Very cool info!
I know it’s already been mentioned that most Filipinos, with the exception of a small minority, do not have any Spanish DNA. But I wanted to add that in a way they’re still quite a bit like Mexicans in the sense that they’re sort of a hybrid race like Mexicans, with varying degrees of admixture between regions.
The difference is that instead of being Spanish and indigenous, they’re more like a mixture between East Asian (e.g., genetically like Chinese and Vietnamese) and Polynesian.
Only Filipinos in Polynesian nations have Polynesian ancestry, it’s not found in the Philippines unless an ancestor once lived in Polynesia.
Mexicans often overestimate the amount of Amerindian DNA that will be shown in tests. There are two reasons for this. One, Mexico’s schools promote the idea that everyone is Mestizo. This was intended to stop stigmatizing people who are Mestizo. Two, many families have a tradition that, say, their 2x grandparent was Amerindian, and that this person is a tangible link to recent Amerindian ancestry. The problem with this is that the ancestor may not have been 100% Amerindian. Also, the contribution of a 2x grandparent to one’s ancestry may be minimal.
I went to school in Mexico and I’m very familiar of the country different regions since I have family all over the country and have visited most states. There are still some Indigenous communities who have kept their culture and language alive not just in southern and central Mexico but also up North. My Indigenous grandmother came from one of those communities and didn’t learn Spanish until she was a teenager the only reason I don’t know much about her culture is because her family never accepted my grandfather or their kids ( my dad and uncle) because he comes from an European background and to make things worse he also comes from a family of military officers. The Yaqui tribe in Mexico is been the most prosecuted tribe in Mexico by the government there’s a reason why they stay hiding and keep to themselves they don’t like outsiders especially if you have ties to the government or military. In other words they didn’t want anything to do with us and my grandma was shunned away by her own family for marrying an “ outsider”.
I have seen the opposite-that so many have claimed to be Spanish because that was all that was “acceptable” and now…Clearly and obvious to everyone with eyes-They are Indigenous to this continent.
Most Mexicans are Mestizo that doesn't mean there arent fully blooded native American people walking around and there are also non indigenous non mestizo Mexicans too . Some people are not proud of their indigenous heritage which is why they lose their customs and language etc. So they choose to say Mestizo because they think its "Better" however you can find two mestizos and they will both look different from each other one looks more European and the other more indigenous even though theuy both have the same admixture.That is why most say Mestizo because its about pride as most are but its difficult to verify as appearences can be deceiving. That is the biracial factor of being a mestizo.
Love how sweet your reaction is! I'd love to see a video about how different populations have migrated around the world and how that might impact people's results/ethnicities or looks. Awesome job thanks for uploading!
That doesn't mean she doesn't have ancient Mongol dna. Our teat are based on moder haplogroups. Thats doesn't mean there was mixing centuries back.
In the Philippines, southern Luzon was settled by Mexican soldiers serving the Spanish colonial army, and the Visayas were settled by Peruvians. My sister's granddaughter, whose mother was adopted from the Philippines, has what Mexicans call "the birthmark". This is uncommon in southern China, the southern and southwestern Pacific, but very common in Korea and further north.
You may want to read up on the Galleon Trade between Acapulco and Manila.
I'm half Mexican and I got a little Filipino chinese and, southeast Asian in my 23 and me results! My relatives are from Durango and Chihuahua Mexico!
I’m Mexican as well and I’m 40% indigenous of Zacatecas/Aguascalientes Mexico and Spanish. I believe my Spanish ancestors had Moorish bloodlines because 90% of the time I get mistaken with Arab.
There has been multiple Asian migrations to Mexico, most notable populations seem to be in Baja and Mexico City, but they’ve migrated throughout Mexico.
Natives didn't mix with them
Just remember when looking at your dna results you get half of your from each parent. This also means half of your parents dna didn’t go to you. This also applies to your parents grandparents on down the line.
I am the skeleton in my father's family's closet. He assaulted my mother. Doing my DNA was eye opening. I began getting requests for info from his side of the family. After about a year of getting requests from a particular "cousin" I messaged her and told her the story my mom told me. She was not very close to his children or grandchildren so she promised to keep the secret for their sakes. (my father is deceased). My maternal family is from North East Mexico so I have more Iberian roots.
Interesting, my great grandmother was from North East Mexico, and she was primarily Indio. Doing geneology and reading Mexican history, our roots were from the Tlaxcaltecan settlements in Coahuila and Nuevo Leon.
I also found marriage records with local mission Indians, so they are likely mixed with other regional Native groups.
I was actually pretty surprised that Ancestry didn't show the Tlaxcalan history of the region, especially as they later went on to help establish the Missions in San Antonio and the Western U.S.
QUESTION: please address migration and movement. Example: if my family is from Central America and they move to New York and I am born after two or three generations, I cannot say my family is from New York- my family is still from Central America. This of course is an extreme example but it kills me when people say "my mother was born in Mexico City" and they think they are from central Mexico when they really could be from some place else. ....
Even her accent sounds Asian. One of my best childhood friends' mother is Japanese and another childhood friend's mother and father are Japanese. She sounds just like them. Sometimes her accent sounds Spanish.
You cannot use a US CC to buy a kit as a gift to be mailed to many countries (including Mexico), which I think is super silly on their part
Filipinos have Spanish surnames because in 1849 there was a decree where the inhabitants have to carry a surname, so surnames from a book compiled of mostly Spanish-origin names were implemented. And while a small percentage of Filipinos could have distant Spanish ancestry (I've seen 23andme seemed to have confirm this) not many foreigners (Spaniards) from New Spain went to the Philippines. So not surprising that for Filipinos not having Spanish ancestry. They (Philippines) do have good records so it's (or was) easy to trace Filipinos' ancestors.
Same with the Portugese in Sri Lanka. They forcibly converted the fishermen iin coastal areas, or bribed them with better prospects if they convert. So people were given random Portugese surnames. There is a surname "Curera" which means "run". We jokingly say that one fisherman went to get his name late in the evening, the portugese official was tired and annoyed so he chased the man away saying "Curera". The man thought its a nice name and kept it. 🤦 thats just a story though. Chances are Curera refers to messengers on foot.
Since the "Felipinas" were colonized by the "Spanish" in the early 1500s until 1898 when the US invaded the islands. Las Felipinas were colonized by different peoples under the Spanish flag. They were named "Felipinas" to honor Felipe II (Phillip II in English). Spanish ships where crewed and carried passengers from all parts of the empire. Castilians, Basque, Catalans, Genoese, Extremadurians, Andalucian, etc. but also Germanic and even Tlaxcalan indians and other allied groups from New Spain (Mexico). The trade between Mexico and the now called Philipines lasted about 300 years. Such trade extended to China and Japan. The first Japanese embassy visited Mexico City and Madrid and Rome between the late 1500s and early 1600s. Travelers, merchants, adventures, sailors of all nationalities mixed in this large part of the world, because it was the place to go, to immigrate and prosper. I know there are cities in the Philipines peopled by descendants of Tlaxcalans from Mexico. Also, in Mexico there are communities descended from Filipinos on the Mexican west coast. It is not surprising to me. To understand migrations one has to just study a little history of each place. There are few 100% of any ethnicity. 100% Mesoamerican does not say much as there are more than 500 ethnic groups in that region. One problem I find with the genealogy results as currently displayed is that they are not specific enough to be useful to me. Example: If the results say I am 100% French am I really French? - The Franks that named France are a Germanic tribe !!!! Do you want to see mestizaje admixture read about Spanish DNA. They are not all identical, nor are Mexicans.... or any nationality.
Hope it helps clarify some points not mentioned by others. Regards,
@@carlcamp4299 You nailed it. Well-explained.
Latinos asking why do I look Asian. 😂
The results surprised her.
I kinda relate to her delusions about herself. Like a lot of ladinos from native origins they think they’re white 😅
I’m 70% European 20%sub Saharan African and 10% Native American. Growing up I thought I was waaaay lighter Thani thought just because my brothers had light skin and can pass for white. It took me a while to realize that I was and AM brown.
you are mixed white if you are 70 % White
Well she didn't think she looked Asian, she was in Vietnam and a lot of people were telling her that she was from vietnam or filipino and they didn't believe when she said she was Mexican, and that's the reason she decided to do the DNA test because everyone was telling her that she had to have someone in her family that was Asian.
We had Mexican neighbors with the last name of MacGregor.
I am Mexican and my last name is Poletti & Champollion?
Love these reaction videos, keep them coming!
Interesting video and results of La Karencita. DNA admixture in Mexico varies greatly depending on location. My parents are from San Luis Potosi (Central Mexico.) I've done some genealogy research on Family Search and traced my family to the 1400s (my mom's side) to Guanajuato, parts of Spain and Belgium. My dad's side only traced to the 1700s in Guadalcazar (next municipality over) which was an mining / farming area. I know I'm a mixture of indigenous, European and possibly African ( Moor from when they conquered Spain....one of my ancestors was baptized in a church built by Moors in Malaga, Spain --- Southern coast from Spain)
My son's paternal side came from Michoacán, Mexico. His DNA as well as his paternal aunt and grandmother all showed some DNA from Peru. I'd had read that there were "stories" of Peruvian's migrating to Michoacán. Shared language was a big clue. DNA seems to confirm it for me. These testers all had some Spanish (no surprise) , African a small amount of Ashkenazi Jewish and grandmother had the "Levant". Fun finds!
Nice video, what does a Mexican look like? My mother is from the American Southwest, mostly native a trace of Spanish from 1598.
When I visted my father's village in Mexico as a little boy I stuck out. The whole village was filled with Blonds and blue eyed people. We come in all colors.
I have been reading reading history books and it is shocking that at this time of information that others are clueless
My parents or going to meet my dads half brother this coming weekend! We discovered him through ancestry! ❤️
I'm about a quarter indigenous by genealogy, but some of that shows up as a pinch of southeast Asian, a pinch of Oceanic, and a pinch of Australian.
I've had mine done at 23, ancestry, myheritage, and uploaded to mytrueancestry, gedmatch, familytreedna, and a few more. mytrueancestry was almost uselses, but did confirm my relationship to some clans and families in Great Britain.
The wackiest was myheritage. They were so far off from everybody else that I was left trying to figure out if they got somebody else's DNA, except they got the cousins right.
Gedmatch was one of my favorites, as it confirmed some of my population level connection to some of their archaic dna info.
I uploaded my DNA results to My Heritage and I do not show any Spanish, 0 nada. I suspect that they are treating Mexico as a region and they are not separating the Spanish from the Indigenous American. On Ancestry I am 46% Iberian, 4% England, 1%France and 3% European Jewish , 42% Indigenous American, 3% African, 1% Persian. On 23 and Me i'm 55% European a majority being Spain and Portuguese, 38% native.
i agree that they combine them
heyo, small request, but could you take a peak at the sound mixing? Sometimes I can't hear the people you're watching but then when you talk its so loud, like commercials in the early 2000s lol
Really liked this coverage. 💃😊
My husband is Cambodian but everyone here in North Carolina think his Mexican!!
Recently got my results back from ancestry and was a little disappointed. I wish there were more categories for the Middle East. The 3 regions I got were “Middle Eastern” “Turkey and Caucasus” and “Iran/Persia” None of those are specific and I did not find anything out. Why is it that for Europe or South America they have all of these specific ethnic groups from every country yet they only have a couple for the whole Middle East which is much more diverse than people think it is. I don’t get it
Thats because of their data base. It consists of a majority of people from those areas. If more middle easterners, asians start doing these tests the databases will get updated.
They just added more regions recently they used to group together Irish with Scottish and Welsh not anymore they also added new regions for Africa and Arabian Peninsula.
There’s a misconception of that the Iberian part is an ethnic group of itself. The “Iberian” that came to the new world were mostly from Andalucia, southern spain which was for many generations a big melting pot, with persians (Alans), Greeks, Latins(Romans) North African, Turkic-Mongolian, Asian as well and Germanic Peoples. Another point, whenever a site mentions “Aztec Empire”’ who were really just the Mexicas, they are clueless About the ethnic history of Mexico.
Mexican is not a race, it is a nationality. We commonly refer to nationality with race…
Hey I have lots of Sephradic surnames and have Levi, Levy as well..I also observe Torah and my family came from Spain. By the way my dads family lives in Tula and 0% native blood. They did not want to mix but my my is mixed..lol native with Spanish.
This is very interesting. Thanks for the video. I've always wanted to do one of these, although, over the years, I have grown increasingly very skeptical of these tests. Perhaps, one day I'll do this, but only if my specific, personal data, info, can be guaranteed to be destroyed afterward. Maybe you've addressed that?
Ah what a shame that it's difficult to get the DNA tests there.. all of my dad's family are Mexican so if it was easily available there and many people did them, I'm sure when my results are ready, I would be able to find a lot more DNA matches but I probably won't have many close-ish ones on my paternal side due to that? I am doing both Ancestry & 23andMe though so hopefully a better chance doing multiple.
I don’t know how accurate My Heritage is. I uploaded my results from 23andMe and it shows less than 2% Iberian (I’m Mexican and other tests show about 40% Iberian) and that my half sister is my aunt which is suspicious.
I don’t understand MyHeritage. I wish you would do a video explaining why for example my North African turned into Spanish and Portuguese when I took a test from AncestryDNA. I also have zero African according to Ancestry. When results are this different, it makes you wonder...❔❓❔
Ancestry and my Heritage are different companies and they collect their data differently and even Ancestry updates their results quite often when I first took it the most European was Portuguese followed by Italian , French Basque and lastly Spain which if you go by my family tree it should be Spain at top after their updated it correct and took my Italian, French and Irish/ Welsh which as far as I know I don’t have anyone in my family claiming Irish or Welsh , I also have Native American and West African which hasn’t been changed and been the same. I’m planning on taking a different test with a different company just to compare results but I’m also comparing my DNA matches and my family records from my family tree .
Another interesting and informative video. I'm of Mexican descent so interested in what she found out. I do know there is Spanish on my fathers side and French and Chinese on my mother's side. Mexico is another great melting pot. 👍👍👍
Yes, I'm Mexican and I do have ancestry from Mongolia. My daughter took the gene in really strong.
Native americans are in fact a product of Europeans and East asians they are not Europeans and they are not also East asians but they are Eurasians they have around (one third) of their genetic variations from Europe
@@andrewmagdy977 There were asian slaves and asian immigrants in Mexico. people assume its from native dna but it isnt.
I’m Mexican and have an Asian look, I’m 70% Native American.
Oh yeah you look inuit!
It’s due to native Americans being related to Asians. Filipinos aren’t mix majority they are Asian as Thai and south East Asians
Spanish ,portugius,english,russianeuropian are from europe caucasian race while indian american,enuit are came from asia
In Mexico, they have groups of African, Jewish & Arabics as well.
I'm Mexican American people have mistaken me for philipino, Korean, Asian, native American I'm 64% native American from Mexico and 28 % Spanish the other% north African, Berber, melanisian, Sardinian,
This is very interesting, I did 23&me and wasn't impressed I think I will do ancestry.
23&Me is the most accurate one. primary reason is they don't do full percentages like ancestry does. It really just depends what your wanting, Ancestry DNA is better for Native American dna testing but 23&Me is better than everything else .
Ancestry was a very big disappointment to me.
Really interesting video!
This is very exciting !
My best friend from age 15 yrs old of Mexican heritage & I tested her a couple of years ago. I think we were 59 then. It was so interesting
Hey GeneaVlogger could you please speak to inaccuracies in commercial genetic tests and where we are now with current technology.
according to masaman youtube channel there is dna evidence that majority of native indians ancestors does not cross the alaskan ice bridge. they instead sailed from taiwan/ philippines toward hawaii then to americas.
People seem to forget or not understand that the reason you encounter Mexicans that look Asian because most do actually have Asian ancestry even if it is a small percentage most don't even know. So people assume its indigenous DNA but it isnt. Asian genetics can survive a very very LONG time as the eyes and facial structure are the most dominant Asian trait. She said she is Inuit and Chinese only 2.3% and yet it shows up really strongly in her face. Asian DNA is pretty powerful in its longeveity even more so than the black race.
She might be just 1% Chinese, but that 1% obviously knows kung-fu, cause it won.
My Mexican daughter in law took a dna test which confirmed the family history of Jewish descent…. Sephartic Jews.Then she was able to trace it back to the arrival of the Conquistadors. Pretty cool
Christopher Columbus was Jewish
I also got Sephardic Jewish DNA from my Mexican ancestry, along with some Middle Eastern and a little bit of North African. The conquistadors were already their own melting pot. Also interesting that most of my Native American DNA was categorized as Asian or even Siberian, yet we know the native ancestors it came from. So I think these DNA tests have not yet been able to precisely distinguish central and east Asian DNA from American Indian DNA. It gets confused and cross-labeled a lot. Maybe at some point they’ll be able to separate them out a little better
My daughter wants to do a ethnicities DNA test with me. I am skeptical on the accuracy so slowly researching which one to purchase.
Only few mixed filipinos. Spanish didn't settle there, ublike the Americas
Some have African as I have Mexican. Apparently one of my dads grandparents was enslaved from Mexico. I’m black American among other ethnicities.
I believe one of my grandparents help build this road in myamar by black solders from the US in WWII and brought the child back to the US.
Omg so glad I found you because my daughter and I wonder the same lol
My best friend is Filipino and he totally looks Mexican!
I don't think True Ancestry is using mitochondrial DNA, because my Mthaplogroup is A2, and I am getting only European matches in True Ancestry.
Most Filipinos don't really have that much Spanish ancestry. Those who do are often the wealthier ones though.
I beg to disagree. I have cousins in Cebu, Bohol, and CDO who are mestizas/mestizos but they ain't wealthy at all.
Spanish treasure fleets came in from phillipines every year, from chinese trade enclave there. Arrived on pacific coast of mexico, crossed over to carribean via mule train, then to spain
My heritage found a lot of ethnicities I KNOW are in my family but ancestry did not pick up. Specifically my Asian and Native American ethnicities.
Uploaded to MyHeritage from Ancestry. Big differences.
My son's 23 and me said the Tainos (We're Puertorican) came from East Asia and may have been Eskimos. Not surprised.....we love Asian food and Culture.
Well the Algonquin tribes(Iroquois Huron cree Blackfoot) are from florida and those people are originally from mesoamerica which is why the Mississippian culture has so much in common with the mesoamericans
A lot of Mexican look Asian due to the Indian background.. Cambodian people look Mexican but are asian
Indeed the mexican that look very asian are in fact having high amount of asian ancestry or indian ancestry
the vast majority of mexicans don't look asians, Having high cheekbones and almond eyes doesn't mean you look asian because anyone could have those feautures, in Eastern Europe and Russia and finland those feautures are very common are those people also look asians ?
the structure face of the average asian differs from the vast majority of mexicans
There are a lot of Mexicans with Asian descent many dont have any Asian name or last names or even know they have an Asian ancestor. Mexico is very genetically diverse.
Many Chinese who came over to build the railroad were not allowed to stay in the USA after finishing. So they went south to Mexico. Many Mexicans have Chinese ancestry and that is why they are shorter too whereas Cuban and Puerto Ricans are usually taller.
It’s the indigenous DNA
my son nearly 30 hes half mexican. i always said when he was baby he looked asian. i called him my oriental baby. Makes me wonder.
Mexicans do have the last name Levi, but they pronounce it "Leh-Vee". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"Are you Filipino?" I'm part Mexican and I remember when I was a little I used to look super from Chiwawa and got that a lot.
what do you think about the inuit.
Many chinese that were working in the construccion of the US rail road were sent to the Mexican territory after finishing working because this companies did not want to spend money to send them back to China
DNA test have a lot of inconsistent issues.
But is okay to have a lot of entertainment.
There were ships in the days..when they would go from Philippines, Mexico then Spanish..the ships were called the Mexican Galleon during the time when Spain colonized the Phillipines so im sure the Mexicans saw these beautiful islanders and had off springs..
Eeee hah Genea Vlogger. The Pro!
Well she's more American than all of us Northern Americans!
Oohhh I love these let me puase the video every 5 secs
Too bad you didn't increase her volume
Very interesting. If I’m not mistaken, during the beginnings of colonization, Spain took Filipino and Chinese people as slaves to Mexico who were later granted the same status as those that indigenous people had. It became illegal to hold them as slaves. Some were adopted by indigenous communities and lived among indigenous people. This could be a possible explanation for some Mexicans having Specific Asian DNA. Another explanation could be from what was inherited from the Siberian/Beringian migration 20k or so years ago.
You are indeed mistaken. Filipinos could not been enslaved, Chinese on the other hand...
You're making your own history. Please show a reliable reference of these statements. Spain did not even colonize China. History books mention a direct "galleon" trade between Acapulco (Mexico) and Manila (Philippines) for 300 years or so. That could explain the cultural exchange between the two countries and two continents, and not your story of bizarre and unprecedented slavery.
@@vanzealotbush2244 From the late 16th to early 18th centuries, Spaniards forced some 8,000-10,000 captives onto rickety galleons, where they would endure a six-month odyssey from the Philippines to Mexico. The enslaved captives came from South, Southeast and East Asia, as well as East Africa. And this doesnt even include other asians that came after Mexico independence. Like the Japanese.
She didn't know she had Mayan ancestry? Where did she think the Mayans lived?
There are /were many tribes in Mexico and Latin America, not just Mayans. Most Mexicans don’t know what specific indigenous groups their ancestry comes from because of colonization, immigration and also the lack of info about accurate details on Native American tribes in these tests. I know I have Native American ancestry and the regions but not the specific tribes… no dna test has been able to tell me that yet, so I’m not surprised she was surprised.
Well most mexicans think mexican is a race
@@tragicallyhoney I'm sure mexican is an ambiguous word, and it can mean nationallity, culture or race
@@rayopro it is nationality, period.
Mayans were not even a thing, to start with
100% native
I have aunts and cousins that have asian eyes they are caucasian iam caucasian are asian eyes born naturally in the caucasian race?
There are Europeans with so called "Asian eyes", they are mostly found in Eastern Europe and some Nordic countries.
@@thekingofmoney2000 they have Asian features because of the many invasions that eastern Europe had undergone from the mongols and guns yo the Alan's and Turks that's a lot of admixture
Interesting her results are the reverse of mine: I had my brother and mother tested some years ago and my mother came back mostly European with a heavy Marrano influence but somewhere between one to 5% American Indian.
Family legend is that the Quebecois side of the family was in the fur trade so probably somewhere there we intermarried with Huron or Cree cetera
North American Indians very different from Mayan. It would be interesting to DNA type them for Cro Magnon vs Siberian.
I know most Mexicans are part indigenous.. I'm 1/4 native american indian and 8% indigenous Mexico Americas..
Timestamp of the dna results pls
They do MT DNA matches from what I remember (My true ancestry) and they g8ve you info on matches to ancient DNA for each side (maternal and paternal) and when I uploaded mine, some of these matches kind of confirmed some of my dad's family history findings that he was never able to fully corroborate beyond word of mouth/accounts from various elders he interviewed from our family over the past 44 years. And one of these was the alleged noble Polish origins of my grandmother's great grandfather (or was it her great great grandfather ? Can't swear it without my files lol but it was during the slavery Era in the Caribbean). I uploaded mynDNA and my dad's. Turns out his maternal line matches Ancient DNA from old Polish noble houses... So it may not be helpful in the same way other platforms are (plus the most interesting things are behind a paywall) but it does help.
Huế - Wikipedia check this in China they had huge ships that sailed to America around the world trading goods in around 1400 and before
For the USA, ancestry is the best. It has more people in there than any dna site
Nah, there are other countries that are far more ethically diverse than the US.
My dna tests say I have Ashkenazi . If I’m Sephardic will it say Sephardic?
I'm Mexican. You have to go back to the 1700's before you find an ancestors of mine not born in Mexico. But somehow my DNA says I'm over 83% Iberian. It's crazy!
My Dad took one of those tests too and they told him he is around 67 to 80 percent Spanish… he thought he was Mexican. He is a bit Mexican and South East Texan, but less than he expected. Are you from Texas? I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t give percentages for the North American regions. They just said together it’s all between 20 to 25 percent.
It's not that uncommon in some parts of Mexico, especially some northern states and places like Jalisco.
@@Michelle-ld4me Mexican is not a race! He's got Spanish ancestry because of the colonial history of Mexico.
@@Michelle-ld4me Michelle, he can still be Mexican! That is what Mestizos are a mix of blood. Spanish and Native.
She's a beautiful woman.
Hi, absolutely lov😢your show and how you cover it. I have a questions, first how do you go about hiring a genealogist, I’m stumped can move forward with answers for my 80 year old farm. She wants to know about his family but it’s hard to find him I can’t find anything he is Mexican and so that probably has a lot to do with it but if you could help motivate you appreciate it thank you..
