Trinidad is a culture, not a racial group. It is made up of mostly the following groups: African Diaspora , some Europeans, and Native Americans of South American heritage, and with Asian ethnicities, who contributed to your genetic ancestry. But I don't recall a pre-Columbian tribe called Trinidad, maybe Arawak/Carib Natives. Trinidad is a name given by Cristopher Columbus
+Angb will you're right there is no tribe called Trinidad but I was more so referring to either the Caribs or Arawaks, either way, I'm something! But it's only less than 1% so I won't dwell on it too hard.
Angb will Ok I see where you are coming from. My response was just to the first line or two of your initial post where I interpreted it to be about the population mainly being African in this present day.
How do you know the slaves came from Africa? At that time most native Americans were also black and the Europeans had been exporting them as slaves since 1492. Expensive tests that claim to trace a person’s ancestry from a DNA sample are no more than ‘genetic astrology’, scientists say. The raw data only suggests similarities, not actual percentages. It is no different than looking at someone and saying they look a little like someone else. Your DNA information is much more useful to the drug companies that buy it than it is to you. You can't read off your identity from your genetic code. The more markers you share in common, the more likely you are to be related. The probable relationship between any two people is calculated based on the percentage of markers they have in common. But there are problems with tests of this kind. First, there is no complete database of the world's DNA. Data have been collected for different purposes, and different companies have access to different databases. Second, even if, in the ideal case, we find meaningful clusters of similarity in the space of genetic variation, there is no reason to think that these will map onto ethnicity or other categories in terms of which we understand our own identity. It’s all a numbers game based on one fundamental assumption: that people who live in an area today (say, modern Englishmen and -women) and who have all four of their grandparents born in that area are typical of the genetic signature of that population generations ago. When AncestryDNA estimates that I have 31% Scandinavian ancestry, it does so based on the results of testing samples from 272 people who were born in Scandinavia and whose grandparents were also born there. Skeletal remains are even more problematic. Because you are dealing with even less information from a basically unknown source. General information is being presented as personal, and claims someone is related to a famous figure such as Cleopatra are often no less likely to be true for a random passer-by than for the subject of the test. Our most recent common ancestor dates back just 3,500 years, meaning many of us will find the same colorful characters in our past. The DNA tests used today were designed to look at a whole population, not individuals. This means results are vague at best and more often than not, just plain wrong.
"At that time most native Americans were also black..." Oh, for fuck's sake. Don't bother posting links to bullshit articles about the subject, because I'm not going to read them or any replies of yours.
Thanks love for sharing your video I recently took the DNA test my results were 94% African 43% of that is Ivory Coast Ghana 🇬🇭 4% Europe 2% Asia south I'm excited with my DNA results
You and me got similar results I love it mine is 93% sub saharan Africa 5% British/Irish 2% Asian. I love that my Ancestors stuck together through that hard life. So proud to have that bloodlines 32% Nigerian 23% Sierra Leone love it Amazing.
I'am from French West Indies (Guadeloupe), I'am 57.1% Nigérian, 11.5% Sierra-leonian, 8.2% West African. I'am a West African to summarize. 6.5% Kenyan, 1.5% Somalian. 3.5% centerafrican. 10,3% east European, and 0,9% Finland.
My Ethnic Background is Irish English Scottish Welsh Northern Irish Native American Norwegian African American Frisian Dutch Danish Cornish Austrian Jewish German Indonesian Malaysian Chinese Japanese Spanish Portguese, and Filipino.
I'm Trinidadian and I did the test with a different company. I was very surprised to have Scandinavian just as you. I have no clue how that happens because history classes in Trinidad never mentioned Scandinavian migrating to Trinidad so maybe we're just part of a group that had Scandinavian. Trinidad's history is very diverse so I shouldn't be a surprise to have a little of everything. My results were 73% African, 11% south Central Asia (Indian), 7% European with DNA from the British isles and Scandinavian, the rest of my DNA had trace regions from South America and North American natives, Polynesia /Oceania, Middle East and south Eastern Europe. +LePoissondAvril94 @LePoissondAvril94
Jamille St.Hilaire The Scandinavian DNA results is most likely from the English/British as some English people from various part of England have Norwegian ancestry. Your results does not actually mean there were Scandinavian people in Trinidad or any other part of the Caribbean. I'm Canadian born to Jamaican parents and my mother and I have English and Norwegian DNA. Obviously the English is not surprising and looking at my chromosomes and who I match, it is correct. Interestingly enough my Sicilian DNA percentage is more than my english courtesy of my mother's grandmother. Bottom line is that you have to have a greater understanding of the people who colonized the Americas and their mixed ancestry to understand your DNA results.
Scottish who fought on the wrong side and were put into penal indenture probably. There were several Viking villages that over time assimilated into the clan system. Political prisoners were indentured for life to hard labour but most didn't live very long. They were not to be trusted because like the Irish they tried to start rebellions.
Hi thanks for sharing your results. Ancestry DNA just released another update for 2019 a few weeks ago. You might want to check for changes to your ethnicity and ethnicity estimates. Would love to see an updated video.
Igbo ancestry (from Nigeria) makes up a large proportion of Barbadians today. It is possible that, at some point, some of your ancestors may have moved within the Caribbean islands. Who knows?
All you Trinidadian who are amazed and surprised to have Scandinavian DNA. No, there was not Scandinavian migration to Trinidad but there was a massive Scandinavian invasion of Britain after the Romans were gone in the 8th century. So your Scandinavian DNA comes to you via Great Britain and the colonial masters. Same thing goes for 99% of African Americans.Blacks in South America have a lot of Iberian( Spanish and Portuguese) DNA for the same reason . And I bet you that there are a lot of Iberian DNA in Trinidad too. And degrees of variations to that effect all over the Americas
Good results. A lot of black americans have a good percentage of west african ancestry; particularly Nigeria so I'm not surprised. The Scandanavian was interesting too as that I haven't seen in black americans.
just a note on the "native american". most islands of the caribbean were populated by the Taino and Kalinago groups, who migrated out of the Orinoco region in Venezuela. Migration patterns for the americas show the movement of peoples from north America through central and into south American continent. While most Taino and Kalinago disappeared due to genocide, some peoples of the Caribbean still have small traces of DNA (of course there are still some indigenous groups such as in Dominica)
Hey, I'm 100% African (no ancestry test done though hahahaha). I'm from Southern Africa (Bantu people), so hey sister, it's really really nice to meet you. :-)
Natives , Indigenous people is what we should call them. How are we just gonna say American when they were here before America 🤣🤣. Damn, the existence of the European conquests annoys me.
Thats not the complete story. Native Americans traveled freely and by force from South America and North America routinely. The Native American blood could be from any of the Americas region. What is "likely" in the case of a individual genetics is sufficient.
Trinidad is in the Caribbean but had native Americans long ago in the 1600-1700s and then the British brought Indians from East India and Africans from Africa to Trinidad which is why Trinidad today consists of mainly Indian and black
I had 72% African, 16% European, 8% asian, and 4% middle eastern like Israel and Egypt. Everything surprised me. I thought I would have more African and wasn't expecting Asia or Middle eastern. So I'm from everywhere I guess.
Well I am American Indian as we are called and my ancestors did not put out the welcome mat we were just overrun with EIFF - RAFF and have never recovered
+Jojo Purplez they're from Trinidad. My whole family is for the most part. My dad is half black half what I believe is Spanish of some kind, I'm trying to get my grandma to take the test so we can figure out what she is lol. And my mom is black, she's a quarter Chinese but it's not noticeable 🤷🏾♀️
Cool that 'helped alot and made it easier to understand your results. My mum is also from Trinidad she is half Afro-Trini and half Indo-Trini and my dad is Nigerian (Yoruba). Nice and interesting results!😊
Kym has an attractive balance of African and European features. Takes nothing away from her as a person but rather enhances it. Genetics can be a wonderful thing and learning who you truly are is all the more reason to celebrate it. A reminder that when it comes to supposed racial differences, what unites us all, isn’t who our parents are or where we come from. Its our humanity.
Beautiful lady great DNA result just ordered and would like to find out about my ancestors never really knew much. Didn't know my fathers side so should be interesting....
I did both MyHeritage and Ancestry and I think its weird that Ancestry has no Kenya ethnicity ever listed for anybody or North Africa when I look through all my relatives charts but MyHeritage gave me 8.7% Kenya and 4% North Africa but ancestry didn't show either one of those at all. Plus they gave me South African countries that MyHeritage never did. Every other country pretty much the same but more detail about how many and actually which ones. Myheritage just clumped all my European countries together into 31% Scottish Wales and Ireland. And 1.6% Balkan. 1% South Asia. But Ancestry shows every single European country 18% England 5% Scotland Ireland Germany Norway Sweden Denmark. So I think its just whether or not that company has even tested enough people in that location or not. More than what you actually are. Like they say for entertainment purposes only

Jennifer Convertino-Blackmer Even People in Scandinavia today with 100% y-DNA/Germanic DNA/Scandinavian DNA. Have only a chance of 1% to have a Viking Ancestor so what you are saying is pretty Unrealistic. The only people who have a High chance of having Viking Ancestors are Icelanders. People from Iceland who are 30% and a both Scandinavian have mostly 1-3 Viking Ancestor. And Trust me Icelanders only make babies from there own kind. So there is a chance of
Becky Eckert - if you are interested in doing this yourself, google it like I did. You can not win a comment section argument. TH-cam ghosts me when I post too many links. If you want to discuss specific aspects of ancestry testing I'd love to. I didn't say it was false. It just isn't what you think it is. DNA sequencing is real and it can be useful. The math involved in ancestry testing is also real. It's the advertising that's false. At least in so far as what it implies.
Becky Eckert - Nothing wrong with asking. TH-cam ghosts me when I post too many links. If you want to discuss specific aspects of ancestry testing I'd love to. I didn't say it was false. It just isn't what you think it is. DNA sequencing is real and it can be useful. The math involved in ancestry testing is also real. It's the advertising that's false. At least in so far as what it implies. The math used and the test population are what make the results change. Not the minor changes in a person's DNA sequence over time.
Becky Eckert1 - As far as your journey into your family lineage, I have heard it's possible to find actual living long lost cousins if they happen to be in the same database used by the company you choose. It may be fun to look at those percentages they give you but that part should be taken with a very large grain of salt. It is not really science and can not take the place of an oral history. Like in America when your mother tells you your grandma was native American. You can't say she's wrong based on an ancestry test. In most cases, it is certainly the other way around. Now there were what's called $5 Indians but that's a whole different scenario. Those were whites who claimed to be Indian in order to get 150 acres of land. Real Indians were often penalized for admitting their heritage. You can prove someone is not your parent with a DNA test but these ancestry tests do not prove anything. Many people don't realize this and that is why I've taken the time to post a comment here.
Becky Eckert1 - Thanks for the thoughtful conversation. "When referencing the slave trade we commonly envision domestic purchases and exchanges of plantation owners and traders culminating in the overland transporting of slaves. Shipping human cargo via coastal waterways from one region to another is often forgotten history. It is estimated that over 1 million slaves were transported using either coastwise ships to the southern ports along the Atlantic, or channeling them along the southern coast and the Mississippi River using southern tributaries." What registry? You are not going to find most native Americans is any registry and if you do that doesn't prove they were Indians. Google the $5 Indian. Most black people were all told the same thing by whom? Maybe most black people were all told the same thing because they are native American. Who's more likely to be the liar here? If you are a true skeptic don't put any stock in the ancestry percentages you get from any ancestry DNA company. They prove nothing. The number of Native people who have tested remains small. If your tribe is not in one of their databases all their ancestry percentages become meaningless right from the get go. I've heard “None of the 567 federally recognized tribes have endorsed or participated in DNA testing.” If that isn't true please let me know.
Actually that is more special since it means you're are 100% irishman, it's actually harder to find ''pure'' people nowadays exept from africans and some asians (wich most are pure), of all of the other people, the majority is mixed to some degree with just a few ''pure''
Paul Durae Duncan of course they are Native American. They emigrated from North America, some settled in Yucatán, others continued down the Central American Isthmus, while others moved further South. The Caribs supposedly were pursuing the Arawaks, who were farmers etc. The two tribes were found in Trinidad. And these indigenous tribes in Trinidad mixed with other ethnic groups over the years... so chances are that many Trinis have Native American DNA
I'm going to bet that I am 95% European--- British Irish maybe welsh. Maybe small % north American. If southern European that would be a surprise. Lots of French I think...
My English isnt that good and its really hard to explain but its just your facial expression very clean and femine . Ofcourse your dna doesnt lie and u kept most of your african features too - skin tone , eyes , hair , nose, very beautiful . Maybe google scandinavian girls pictures and see if you find simularities too or it's just me going crazy lol .
Whats up I am Mexican i found out I have a mixer of Spain Portuguese Native American asia and a small chunk of afro but I dont know the amounts 🤣 I estimate 35 European 60 native American asia 5 afro . American .
Yes the native American part is either carib arawak or taino from the Caribbean or South American native tribes. Your north Africa which is amazigh is was brought over by your iberian ancestry due to barbary slave trade off the iberians peninsualar, all iberians will have north African DNA and all north Africans/amazigh will have South European DNA too.

Thanks for sharing. Your "black," Native American and Asian Ancestry could be tied to your Iberian Peninsular Ancestry. This would make you a partial Melungeon. We could be related. I recommend that you upload your raw DNA to GedMatch.com so that I can take a look at your DNA.

A lot of Trinidadians have African backgrounds as slaves were brought from Africa to Trinidad in 1797

True 🙂

Trinidad is geographically South America - so close to Venezuela you can see if.
Technically all of the Caribbean could have native Americans, since they are still in the Americas (Latin America).
Yes! Esp Trinidad being so close to Venezuela, it was grouped under ‘Americas’ for this test
Great video.
Trinidadians are mixed African with native culture (carrib and arawak). That's where your native is from. So cool!
Wow 10% Scandinavia
Jennifer Convertino-Blackmer It's likely what happened, regardless of your feelings.
That would be African too.
^jennifer ..don't be so offended...it might not have been "rape" ...it might have been: ...hey this scandinavian man is kind'a sexy...so her great-great grandmother said: oh well...fuck it lol ...no really
Jennifer Convertino-Blackmer Even People in Scandinavia today with 100% y-DNA/Germanic DNA/Scandinavian DNA. Have only a chance of 1% to have a Viking Ancestor so what you are saying is pretty Unrealistic. The only people who have a High chance of having Viking Ancestors are Icelanders. People from Iceland who are 30% and a both Scandinavian have mostly 1-3 Viking Ancestor. And Trust me Icelanders only make babies from there own kind. So there is a chance of
@@anonymous111delta4 Rape. Or "trick babies"(Prostitution).
why you have Åland flag ?
the Scandinavians from the 1700s shared the same DNA as Cherokee Indians I am 39% my great grandfather was 100% Cherokee
you should switch to the samsung galaxy s8 as your new phone
Harry Cortez right, i even heard many people are ditching their iPhones for the S8
Tobu This isn't happening. The S8 hasn't really been selling.
Keisha Nicole true, now that i think about it
im switching to the note8
They say you get different results every time. Even if it is from the same company. PS you are so beautiful.
+rawmilk mike interesting! Thank you :)
Becky Eckert - if you are interested in doing this yourself, google it like I did. You can not win a comment section argument. TH-cam ghosts me when I post too many links. If you want to discuss specific aspects of ancestry testing I'd love to. I didn't say it was false. It just isn't what you think it is.
DNA sequencing is real and it can be useful. The math involved in ancestry testing is also real. It's the advertising that's false. At least in so far as what it implies.

The math used and the test population are what make the results change. Not the minor changes in a person's DNA sequence over time.
Becky Eckert1 - As far as your journey into your family lineage, I have heard it's possible to find actual living long lost cousins if they happen to be in the same database used by the company you choose.
It may be fun to look at those percentages they give you but that part should be taken with a very large grain of salt. It is not really science and can not take the place of an oral history. Like in America when your mother tells you your grandma was native American. You can't say she's wrong based on an ancestry test. In most cases, it is certainly the other way around. Now there were what's called $5 Indians but that's a whole different scenario. Those were whites who claimed to be Indian in order to get 150 acres of land. Real Indians were often penalized for admitting their heritage.
You can prove someone is not your parent with a DNA test but these ancestry tests do not prove anything. Many people don't realize this and that is why I've taken the time to post a comment here.
Becky Eckert1 - Thanks for the thoughtful conversation. "When referencing the slave trade we commonly envision domestic purchases and exchanges of plantation owners and traders culminating in the overland transporting of slaves. Shipping human cargo via coastal waterways from one region to another is often forgotten history. It is estimated that over 1 million slaves were transported using either coastwise ships to the southern ports along the Atlantic, or channeling them along the southern coast and the Mississippi River using southern tributaries."
What registry? You are not going to find most native Americans is any registry and if you do that doesn't prove they were Indians. Google the $5 Indian. Most black people were all told the same thing by whom? Maybe most black people were all told the same thing because they are native American. Who's more likely to be the liar here? If you are a true skeptic don't put any stock in the ancestry percentages you get from any ancestry DNA company. They prove nothing. The number of Native people who have tested remains small. If your tribe is not in one of their databases all their ancestry percentages become meaningless right from the get go. I've heard “None of the 567 federally recognized tribes have endorsed or participated in DNA testing.” If that isn't true please let me know.
Some Asains have Pacific Islander in them too..
Maybe DNA spreads different ways for different family members. Like I look like my great grandmother. But, I look nothing like my grandmother.
Ghana girl🇬🇭❤
I am waiting for my DNA results. They supposed to be ready for Christmas :)
Very exciting!
I always find these interesting from americans, but when I did mine it was so boring. I was 98% Irish and 2% british. Not even a trace region lol.
Actually that is more special since it means you're are 100% irishman, it's actually harder to find ''pure'' people nowadays exept from africans and some asians (wich most are pure), of all of the other people, the majority is mixed to some degree with just a few ''pure''
I'm Norwegian I would assume if I tole this test I would be at lest 70% Scandinavian and I don't really know much more than that
lindos resultados gracias por compartirlos
Your right the Caribs and Arrowaks in the caribbean count as Native...checkout my vid.
Paul Durae Duncan of course they are Native American. They emigrated from North America, some settled in Yucatán, others continued down the Central American Isthmus, while others moved further South. The Caribs supposedly were pursuing the Arawaks, who were farmers etc. The two tribes were found in Trinidad. And these indigenous tribes in Trinidad mixed with other ethnic groups over the years... so chances are that many Trinis have Native American DNA
She is stunning period.
Bantu people have Asian roots by the way❤️
*You definitely look like you are Nigerian. I would say the mid-west of Nigeria to the East. Happy for you!*
I'm going to bet that I am 95% European--- British Irish maybe welsh. Maybe small % north American. If southern European that would be a surprise. Lots of French I think...
Samuel Pharris Welsh comes under Irish or British you won't get to see Welsh unfortunately. Think it's Celtic so will just come under Irish 🍀
if you are american maybe
skål
Might sound weird but somehow I saw the Scandinavian in you before learning your results :)
+Stoyanka Kalfova woah, really? What was it, might I ask?
My English isnt that good and its really hard to explain but its just your facial expression very clean and femine . Ofcourse your dna doesnt lie and u kept most of your african features too - skin tone , eyes , hair , nose, very beautiful .
Maybe google scandinavian girls pictures and see if you find simularities too or it's just me going crazy lol .
Lol u full of shit
How many..
Whats up I am Mexican i found out I have a mixer of Spain Portuguese Native American asia and a small chunk of afro but I dont know the amounts 🤣 I estimate 35 European 60 native American asia 5 afro . American .
Yes the native American part is either carib arawak or taino from the Caribbean or South American native tribes. Your north Africa which is amazigh is was brought over by your iberian ancestry due to barbary slave trade off the iberians peninsualar, all iberians will have north African DNA and all north Africans/amazigh will have South European DNA too.

Super beautiful.
This is the first video I have ever seen from you and I have to say that you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. It was hard for me to even hear what you were saying because I couldn't stop looking at your facial expressions:).
+PAUTNETER aw that's sweet, thank you!
Whatever it says, you are a beautiful young woman.
I love your hair
What will it take for me to take you on a date...anywhere you want to go.
i got scandinavia too over 10%
Has anyone told you how pretty you look? you are gorgeous.
Why, thank you!
All I can say is your absolutely gorgeous......and how old are you??
Before I watch this video I have to say: You look sooooooooo beautiful and cool ♥.♥
+Glacyneyla awww, thank you!
Very hot Chocolateeeee.....!!!!! Fire!
I swear all the black ppl that do these ancestry vids got that 1% polynesian
Brett Pitman II it's very close to home
+teahgurl probably malagasy who are supposedly austronesian which is supposed to include polynesian I dont think many modern day polynesian mix with black americans because there are very few in the usa
The ones with Polynesian and Melanesian blood probably had ancestors who came here as slaves from Madagascar
Thats a lie.
Maybe her great grandfather wasn't really Asian, maybe the man her great grandmother married was Asian though.
Nope it was my great grandpa. I’ve met him and have pics of him, his wife, however was darker. I’m told she was Spanish but I don’t really know what she looked like
u should download your kit and put into gedmatch.com it does admixtures and other stuff all free.
Thanks for sharing. Your "black," Native American and Asian Ancestry could be tied to your Iberian Peninsular Ancestry. This would make you a partial Melungeon. We could be related. I recommend that you upload your raw DNA to GedMatch.com so that I can take a look at your DNA.
The asian ancestry isn't though because (her family is trinidadian) her mom is a 1/4 chinese so probably not most of her asian ancestry
