you interrupt the story so much who knows whats going on
guys pls see the case of Alexander Komin.... ua-cam.com/video/1OOw9t9Jxdk/v-deo.html ....and request mr. whisler to do a ca. cr. on it pls support and send your own request.... its very intresting and barley any info on it
Running that fertility clinic by hand for awhile I see. "I built this clinic with my own right hand!"
I'm right handed, but I've always done it lefty .
Apparently he took a very hands-on approach.
Now that's what I call customer service!
🙄🤭 😂😂😂🤣
Why does it matter?
The 'clients' are paying to reproduce with somebody they've never met. What difference does it make?
Simon's kid looks like him. Simon's kid came out of the womb with a bald head, beard, and glasses.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣 damn I laughed more than I should have at this
This is even more hilarious when you realise that his kid is a girl 😂
@No One's Innocent I do. Watch the Simon videos from four years ago. I've seen hostage videos where the subject was more relaxed.
@No One's Innocent And with a little Tegridy, we forget.
On my 30th (so two years ago) I decided to do the whole Ancestry DNA thing out of curiosity, as I have an Italian surname but we only know very little about that side of the family. Well, my test results came back with absolutely NO trace of Italian heritage. Amused, I discussed the results with my parents and then posted them to social media........Cue my dads side of the family bombarding my mum with thinly veiled questions as to who my real father is. (Hint: he is 100% my biological dad).
Two weeks ago my Grandfather, who has dementia and is in a care home, suddenly had an extremely lucid moment in which he told my aunt the truth. Shortly after marrying my grandmother (who is no longer with us) he was deployed with the army, at which point she was not pregnant.......By the time he came home there was my dad, one year old and definitely not his. For 69 years this man looked after, raised and loved a child that wasn't his own without ever making it an issue. I've never really liked my grandfather (he's racist AF) but finding this out has seriously increased my respect for him.
Cool stroy, I actually read through the entire thing. I guess those DNA thing can do some good.
Wow. I have a cousin who took one of the tests and discovered that she has no native American ancestry. Her father is straight up Cherokee and Choctaw Indian. She was an adult when she took the test and he had already passed away.
@@antoniovillanueva308
There has been an issue with a lack of Native American samples, leading to inconclusive, misleading or wrong results. At least one of the companies had been offering free tests to help build up their database, but for whatever reason was still having trouble collecting Native American samples. It was bizarre. People were turning down free DNA tests. ua-cam.com/video/zRakAuHQguo/v-deo.html I don't know what the ultimate solution ended up being.
@@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou I rarely speak to my cousin who was involved in this, but I'm not curious as to whether or not she knows this? I'm going to talk to some of my closer family members and see how the whole thing worked out.
@@antoniovillanueva308 my family had the same issue. My mom knows for a fact, her grandmother was Cherokee, yet 2 of my siblings took a DNA test and showed no Native American ancestry at all. My brother is definitely NOT 100% Dutch, not with his skin color, haha! I told them there must be a low sampling of indigenous people to pull up anything conclusive, and sounds like other families have this issue.

Danny, I saw what you did there, you Legend!
@No One's Innocent Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom
🧠🔨
Fucking Indiana moment smh
We grew up thinking that we had black roots because my older sister is brown. My mom had a child from a previous marriage when she met my dad, then when they got married, my sister was born. My dad insisted she was his child, just like the child from her previous marriage, because he's a BAMF, and if they were going to be his family, he was their dad. Three additional kids later, and my mom goes off to live her life, leaving all 5 of us with him. He raised us all, and my older sister found out when she was 28 that he wasn't her biological father. He still insists that we are all his kids, and supports us all like we're his own. Like I said - BAMF. ♡
He's your dad, doesn't matter what sperm you came from. He's the one who raised you, he's the BAFM who deserves the title of "Father."
It takes more than sperm to be a dad.
Legend.
He’s an excellent man.
My grandfather adopted my dad, and growing up we knew that, and thought it was a great showing of his character. To raise kids that aren't his, as if they were his, shown to me that he was what a real man truly is. Now I have a son, and a stepson, the step son is 14 and knows very well I'm not his dad, but he calls me dad occasionally, I've never asked him to, and I never will ask him to, but it's great when he does. For me taking care of kids is a natural thing to do, regardless of who spawned them all kids need love. I treat him just as I would if he was my own, on top of that, I was the one as the man in the household to encourage him to rebuild a relationship with his father, of course now his dad is "the coolest guy ever!" And I am not (lol). To me, I'm just glad I was able to help him and his father reconnect, he's 14, so when the testosterone levels out in his body and he becomes wise to life I'm sure he will see the sacrifices I made to ensure he never went without. To many men now a days just want quick rewards, and sadly to many don't stick around to raise their own kids anymore. I'm okay with that, a real man steps up when the other one steps out.
Simon’s Baby- *is bald*
Simon-“He looks just like me!”
She. And I think she should be at least 1.5 years old now if I remember the time line from when he started mentioning her, correctly 😂. So sehe probably has hair.
@@stephjovi my bad on the gender, and I meant when she was born
Exactly what I thought 😂
Bald? Check.
Czech? Check.
Check, Simon! ...He's not mine.
A few years ago I decided to do a DNA test. My dad is adopted so I knew this could open up a can of worms. He wasn't interested in finding out where his side of the family is from or finding any family members. When I got my results back there was one person listed as a cousin that I had no connection to on my mom's side, turns out she is my dad's half-sister on his birth fathers side. I hesitantly reached out to her under the guise of finding out how we're related even though I already had an idea. Turns out my paternal grandfather wasn't the most faithful man in the world so my half-aunt wasn't entirely surprised by the revelation that she had an older half-brother.
We had my dad's birth mother's name off of his original birth certificate but had never been able to find her. My new aunt loves a good mystery so she did some digging and found my birth grandma in one of her dad's old yearbooks along. She reached out to the alumni association and got a hold of my birth grandma's sister and from there we were able to connect with that side of the family. Within a week my dad went from having one psycho adopted sister to finding three half-brothers and three half-sisters between the two sides of the family. Soon after I started find people my dad decided to reach out himself. He was able to meet his birth mom but his dad had passed away years before. He was born in the early 1960's and his mom was never given the choice to keep him but she never forgot about him, always celebrated his birthday, and told her three children that they had an older brother out there somewhere. She passed away earlier this year due to Covid-19 and I'm glad that before she passed she was able to find closure on this matter and know that my dad wasn't mad at her for what happened.
What a lovely gift to give your father
Damn. Your aunt needs to be a detective. She really did a great job!
Awww god he was taken from her and he was loved for all those years.
She kept his memory alive for her whole family and didn’t hide him. That is amazing. I hope you have made great memories with the new extended family 🥰
Wow that's so tragic but so touching at the same time and I'm glad that they found closure in the end.
American's fear of using DNA Ancestry: Wait, we're not Irish after all?!
Europeans fear of using DNA Ancestry: Oh God Grandpa was in the SS....
I don't need to do ancestry, my parents already told me as a child that it's gonna read like a f@cking phonebook!
Me, a German: 🗿
Maybe finding out you're a small percentage Native American. Hmmm wonder how THAT happened?!
@@erinerin561 not by consent.
@@gandalf_thegrey My great grandfather was Jewish and he married an Austrian girl from a conservative family, who adored Hitler in 1943 or so. They expelled her from the family and never spoke to her again. I suspect half my ancestors killed the other half because besides my grandfather no one from that side made it out or Poland alive at least as far as I know. Some day I'll do one of these DNA tests. I know the Nazi side of the family still exists in the Salzburg region. They're loaded too so I guess I should contact them... "Hi, so I'm the Jew bastard, ya got any money? I take silver and Euros or the blood of your first born."
The twin sister thing freaks me out!!! But only because I had a twin sister and then she disappeared around 20 weeks.... fast forward 30 years and a bunch of undiagnosed unexplainable weird af autoimmune diseases and a conversation with a dermatologist about why some of my skin is slightly a different color ........... now I'm casually contemplating sequencing different parts of my body because apparently the last 30 years could be explained with a simple "your sister really was born she's just part of you and you guys fight ALOT!" 😂😭🤣😭😂😭🤣💔❤
Regarding Simon saying "Let me just get some coke before we get started"..... Not only was it not cocaine, it was *DIET* Coke. Meaning, it wasn't even _proper_ Coke! So, that was a *DOUBLE* lie!! 😁😁
The only true Coke is from Mexico where it is made with real sugar, not that high fructose corn syrup crap.
How do you know what was in that can? Maybe it was filled with cocaine.
It's weak coke not the pure stuff
I used to text my coke dealer to make sure and pick up some diet coke for the party. I know, so slick of me to think of that.
@@cuttwice3905 Mexican Coke is the best. It's rare to find it in the USA, but some stores sell it.
That lawyer in the last story really deserved his money for showing up with the proper research.
My mom had a story about how she yelled at nurses that my older sister couldn't be her baby, because the baby she gave birth to had black hair and a round face, but the baby they later handed to her was blond with a narrow face. Everyone in my family has black hair. She doesn't even have the same health problems, or even the same general personality as the rest of the family. (I don't even know if personality is hereditary or learned.) When my other siblings took DNA tests, she flat out refused.
Personally, I don't care if she was switched, she's the one who picked me up from class, who helped me study, who I stole clothes from... she's my sister, like it or not. Still, it always was something Mom grumbled about whenever my sister acted high strung and aggressive, unlike the rest of our laid back, passive family.
Oddly enough, I often got in trouble at school because people reported seeing me walking around during school hours, yet I was definitely in class. Many classmates swore to have met this doppelganger and described her as a "perfect twin," even the same voice and laid back way of speaking as me. I wonder if some switched sister could've been living near us the whole time, looking exactly like me. It'd be interesting to solve this mystery some day and see if we really are "perfect twins."
It's possible that she isn't biologically your sister, but it's also possible that your mother was suffering from a form of PPD. As for the doppleganger thing, I also have also had a couple of people I've been mistaken for and vice versa but I definitely wasn't related to any of them.
One of my favorite stories like this is the child sisters who got separated from one another at the tail end of the Vietnam war and found each other through an ancestry kit. They were both in their 40s, both grew up in America, and neither had any idea the other had made it out of Vietnam.
My daughter gave me a DNA test kit last Christmas. It turned out to be quite interesting. One weird thing though. According to the results, my half sibling is also my cousin. A branch of my Mom's family is related to my Dad's family. And another two branches of Mom's family practiced quite a bit of intermarriage.
So, technically, I guess that makes me my very own cousin.

It used to be incredibly common, even in the Bible age people would be married to thier paternal cousins, the Vitorian age also had alot of that too
Fun fact .... There used to be a large community from Rotherham living in New York City. All of the famous fires hydrants you see in the city where made in a foundry in Rotherham and shipped over to America, people from Rotherham would go to new York to help install them but once the work was done not many returned back to Rotherham. In fact the area in Rotherham where the hydrants where made was known as New York. Today the foundry no longer exists instead Rotherham fc built their new ground on the site of the foundry and it’s called The New York stadium
The Guest and Chrimes Foundry that made those fire hydrants in Rotherham was owned by an extremely-distant relative of mine. My side of my family moved from England to America waaaaaaaaay back before the foundry. So there are Rotherhammers (or whatever they were called) in America.
I can't tell if this is made up or not. But if it isn't, that's actually amazing.
@@brainblaze6526 It actually is true! New York Stadium in Rotherham is named for the fire hydrants they made for New York City. Add it to a future "Top 10 facts about Danny's hometown" video, along with glass medicine bottles and child sex scandals.
Amazing

This has happened in our family, my aunty had an ancestry DNA kit for Christmas a couple of years ago and we found out our nan (who died in 1996 ) had a different father to who she thought
I'm a genealogist and most of us include a "if I find something that doesn't line up with your beliefs about your family history, do you want me to tell you?" clause in our contracts. Because it's not something you can just sort of casually ask after you've realized that Great Grandad was not who you thought he was.
I love it when people who profess "blood is thicker then water" have NO CLUE who their family is. Most horrid people and IMMEDIATE flag everytime I've met one.
"So we did find a German background as you suspected that led back to Argentina. It seems that your family changed their name from Schicklgruber and arrived in Argentina around the mid 1940s. From there we are able to trace it back to Austria, so your family is Austrian not German. We are happy to inform you that you are a direct descendant pf Alois Schicklgruber! Isn't this exciting? Would you like us to contact your extended family in Austria?"
I hate having to have those conversations and avoid them at all costs. But I had my own recently. I have been looking for an Uncle that went missing in 1930. A man that thinks his father was my missing Uncle contacted me. The DNA does not match. Old records do which is really weird. I am struggling to try to figure out how the man would have the info if he was not the missing uncle. But in the end the DNA does not lie. There are some distant connects but his mother has a name that could make her a distant relative and she is from the same area. So either the man who called me is mistaken about his father's connect to our family or he is mistaken about his connection to his father... either way... we never did figure it out
I wound up orphaned in my teens. I know my dad was Irish and Swedish and my mom was Black and Native American. I've considered getting an ancestry panel, but I'm not quite sure I want to find the family that abandoned my mother or the one that ditched me. I can totally understand why some folks would rather not know certain things about their ancestry.
@@julienelson6506how distant of a cousin? Second cousins generally bear little to no genetic link.
my 72 year old aunt took a DNA test and found out that she and her brother were both not their single father's children. he had raised them ever since his wife died and never let on if he knew. they found 7 younger siblings literally on the other side of America. these siblings had grown up in a car picking vegetables while their parents smoked and drank. my aunt grew up as the daughter of a fairly wealthy restaurant owner. it was crazy!

My mom and her mom did a DNA test. It showed that the family story that Grandma was 3/4 Native American was untrue, as neither had a drop of Native American blood in them. Grandma was very upset and claimed that it was wrong somehow, as she had met her birth mother and birth family, who said that they were half Native American and that Grandma's mother was 100% Native. Now's she come to accept that the story she embraced for so long was just a story.
Now we're waiting for the relatives of my mom's dad's father who we don't know anything about.
Simon "let me know in the comments" everyone "NO"
On the Lydia Fairchild / Chimera story, one thing I'm puzzled by is that she presumably had birth certificates for her children listing her as their mother, and either didn't have any sisters who could've been the children's true biological mother or any such sister would have testified that they weren't the children's mother. At which point, the court would then have to be faced with the bizarre notion that the only alternative explanation other than that there was something unreliable about the DNA result is that Lydia and her family secretly concealed the existence of a sister from the rest of the world, including not having a birth record, who became pregnant, gave birth to children, who were then taken and raised by Lydia as her own for the purposes of committing welfare fraud.
US courts don't do logic ... they are not yours so you committed fraud, and we can take them away ...
Who's are they is another separate question
3 years from now Simon will still be explaining this channel at the start of every episode and I still won't know what's going on.
I did Acestory DNA and got my results in Sep. I ended up solving the 52 yr old mystery of who my moms father was 2 weeks before she passed away. But I did get a shock learning my paternal great grandfather came from the Yucatan! I also got lost researching my maternal side and can trace it back to King James V's favorite mistress 😳
My sister asked my mom if she thought it was a cute idea to get everyone DNA tests for Christmas last year, and she freaked out. 😂
Awkward!
lol😳😛
oh nooo
Retired friend of ours got it done through 23andme. He was adopted, and didn't know anything at all about his birth family (even where they were from or lived at the time), and his adopted parents were dead, and he was an only child in their family, so the only relatives he had were his wife and daughter. He wanted to know if there was anything in his genetic background that might cause a heightened risk for any medical issues (like heart issues), and got it done.
Whereupon he found that his birth family had done it too, lived only a day's travel away, and that not only were his mother and the man who was probably his biological father still alive (his mum was married at the time, but my friend's DNA didn't match the husband's-- but it did match a family friend's), but also, he has a whole *slew* of siblings, half-siblings, and cousins around the place!
He went from no blood relatives at all except his kid, to at least about ten (and maybe more; and that's not counting nieces and nephews etc), and has managed to meet pretty much all of them (who say he's the spitting image of the friend, lol), and regularly visits them.
It's great; he always wanted a large, extended family, and now he has it. Spends a lot of holidays with them. He tells everyone now that DNA profiling is fantastic and everyone should do it. :D
I love the last one, as chimerism can often be observed in domestic pets such as dogs & cats, where you get what looks like a split down the middle of the fur colouring or patterns, even different eye colours on each side, it's quite fascinating to look at... :D
It's almost always a female cat, as well. Some of the coat genes are sex-linked (like tortoiseshell) so they only present in double x chromosomes.
Thats a different thing
There is a whole show about this case, and its actually pretty awesome.
@@evillttlimp That's not true.
Tortoiseshell cats are generally females, because it's normal for females to have two X chromosomes - which, as you mention, are the ones that carry the genes that determine color. The Y chromosome doesn't carry a color gene, and males only ever get one X and a Y, so the males can typically only have one color gene, and they always inherit this color gene from their mother (as their father gave them the Y chromosome). A female cat can have one X with a red gene and one X with a black gene, and that way you get a cat who is NOT a chimera, who has a black and red (and possibly white) coat (The white happens when, basically, both color genes are turned off).
It is possible to get a male 'regular' tortoiseshell cat; this is an anomaly where the cat has XXY chromosomes (and the X's have two different color genes), and because the sex chromosomes are off, these males are sterile.
The other way you can get a male 'tortoiseshell' is, exactly, a chimera. A kitten fetus with the red gene absorbs another kitten with the black gene, now you have one cat with two different genomes, and you can see which parts of the skin carry which genome by the color, because one color will represent the male cat with the red X and a Y (which doesn't carry a color gene), and the other color represents the male cat with the black X and a Y. In other words, if you come across a male cat with more than one color, that cat is likely a chimera. If you come across a female tortoiseshell, you can't know if she's a chimera or an 'ordinary' tortie (without a DNA test), because she can be either. The way you can recognize a chimera cat, if you're lucky, is when their *eyes* are different colors - though, as this whole thing is completely random, you have to be lucky that the eyes have different genomes. The 'colors split down the face' is also not a hallmark that always happens with chimeras, it's pure luck.
Funnily enough, this also implies that to get a male chimera cat with two different coat colors, the mother HAS to be a natural tortoiseshell. Because both male kittens that end up merging into one, can only have inherited their differently colored X chromosomes from their mother.
Besides all this, it is perfectly possible to get a chimera cat with just one color. If a red kitten absorbs another red kitten in the womb, the result is a completely red kitten with two different genomes.
And then you have the possibility that a male kitten and a female kitten merge in the womb, which, aside from a possible 'double tortoiseshell', will probably also be a hormonal mess, and sterile.

That last part. Chimera Syndrome is insanely rare. Most doctors wouldn't even think to test for it, let alone some federal or state DNA tester who has to process dozens of samples a day. I'm not surprised it got missed. She got really lucky her lawyer was so on the ball, kinda want the lawyer's name if I'm ever in the U.S. and get into some trouble.
Catching the Golden State Killer is the best thing to happen with DNA & Me (or whatever) so far!
I always watch to the end because of the 1 second memes... They really make it worthwhile.

Fucking right?
I used to like watching to the end but now the post-credits clip is just a meme and not a clip of Simon, like it used to be. I can see memes everywhere on the internet -- I come here for Simon!
My mother found out she has a sister from her father from before he met my grandmother thanks to the DNA test things. Imagine they never would have met if they both didn't do these dna things.
Imagine they never met, never known about the other and nothing would be different for both of them. Unimaginable
The bearded baby was the best part of this episode.
Also: Fix The Godamn Sign Whistler!
The boondocks memes are fucking awesome
so apparently, my father was really into franchising; he tended to get a woman knocked up and then ghosted her. if you've ever watched the movie Dazed and Confused, Woodhouse appears to be based on my father.
with that little bit of backstory out of the way, imagine my total total lack of surprise when i took a 23andMe DNA test and found 3 half-siblings. 2 older brothers and an older sister.

The problem with the dna test places is that in the fine print your giving them permission to use it for any purpose later thereby relinquishing your rights over it.
I've always been dubious about the idea of willingly giving my genetic material to a private company, though I would love to have my DNA analysed. If that's what's in the small print, I'm glad I'm paranoid!
@@DrT0705 At least one of the companies is controlled by Jehovah's Witnesses, which may or may not be worse.
@@andiward7068 that seems weird, don't they forbid certain medical procedures as part of their religion? I'll keep my DNA to myself, thanks!
In my opinion the biggest risk is that a future government could access all that DNA data and use it for whatever their agenda is. Rooting out opposition, taxing based on ethnic purity, whatever.
@@MetalheadAndNerd If it gets to that point they will have so much power that they will just take DNA samples forcibly anyway. Not much difference, really.
I didn't have any issue filling the vial, although it took like 4 rounds of spitting. In regards to the Ancestry digging, I say you go deeper Simon. I got a month free trial from them in conjunction with the AncestryDNA kit and despite being a nobody (in North Dakota coincidentally 🤣), I traced my lineage back to the 1600's and found some big shakers in the AncestryDNA StoryScout tab, like my 10th great grandmother being one of the last people executed as a witch in Salem. That never came up at reunions lol
Glad her progeny can laugh about straight up murder.
OMG Danny one of your best scripts ever, that Chimera twist had me on the edge of my seat
My grandma on my moms side was a Mckinney and married a mcCloy and I said that meant I got mcscrewed when it comes to being in sun. With red hair and freckles I burn alive every summer lol
Since I already knew the story of Lydia Fairchild, it was absolutely _hilarious_ to see Simon freaking out about what could possibly be going on. Giant lolz.
We found out through 23andme about a lost second cousin of mine, about my age. Turns out my moms first cousin and his wife were swingers back in the day and one of the partners had his baby without telling them. Was supposed to be kept secret by our family because they were worried she’d ask for money or something but here I am telling a bunch of strangers on UA-cam. I think the whole thing is hilarious.
I would totally watch already covered topics from Simon's other channels as a blaze Version!
There use to be a rumor in my family that my father was part Native American. He did look quite like he might be too. Anyway, DNA testing proved that to be false, almost my entire ancestry appears to be the Midlands and Welsh.
I bought DNA kits for my family one year and it was fun.
My best story is that I have a 2x great grandmother who was adopted. Unusually, I also have her original birth name, and had used that and her place of birth to make an educated guess as to her birth family. Later, I was able to use my DNA results to confirm that she really was related to that family, which was very exciting.
I did one of the 23 & Me ones. I didn't find out much, I already knew my Irish, Polish, and German roots, but I did find out I have Viking ancestry and the have Kenyan roots as well.
Finding out that you were adopted wouldn't be that bad. You would then know that your parents loved you even more because they literally picked you.
My parents gave me up. Twice. No clue what it wiid be like to have a parent actually want and choose their kids to be around.
Being adopted doesn't mean you're loved.
There's also the fact that your birth parents gave you up. It would give you the feeling of not being wanted.
An adopted girl, picked on by her older, natural, siblings popped off with “Mom and dad picked me, the hospital MADE them bring YOU home!”
Since Simon asked:
DuBois PA = "Doo-boys" as spoken by locals
Indeed
That pronunciation is self-explanatory.
Yeah, glad someone else posted it. Western PA place names are NOT pronounced like you'd think they were if you were born anywhere else. Looking at you North Versailles.
There's one in Idaho as well. Growing up in an area with a lot of French/Canadian influence, I pronounced it the "right" way. Nobody knew where I was referring to. There's a bunch of areas up north named by French fur trappers, but the people who actually settled there mispronounced the names pretty badly and it stuck. Pend Orielle, Coeur D'Alene, even Boise is pronounced wrong.
I was thinking that too.
I would most definitely buy the just blaze it shirt.
Me too! That is an awesome design. 👍🏻👕
As someone who found out she had a different bio parent, last year, right after my 30th birthday, all of you, go ask your parents. Advice I never knew I would give. Guys. Ask your parents whether y’all are related. Do it.
ahh fuck i thought the sperm donor one was gonna be about the one from the netherlands .. theres a podcast called The Immaculate Deception on it its wild
i gotta say as well ive always been kinda weirded out by how the location aspect of these tests can go if the data is a bit skewed but i guess its because its cheaper to work a database by geographic area than study haplogroups - ALTHOUGH itd be wild to find out youre related to ancient bodies like Ötzi or Cheddar Man or Lindow Man (which does happen!)
All of us are related...if your human👽🤔
@@themeanestkitten .... the truth is out there 👽👀
They use comparative algorithms that check the unknown sample against known samples. It's geographic because most people were unlikely to move (or even travel) more than 10-20 miles from their birthplace until the 1900s.
You know I did exactly that. Bought my whole immediate family DNA kits for Christmas. Surprise surprise, we're related. Mom's my mom, dad's my dad, and my brother is my brother.
Only shocker was we're probably more Polish than German.
May not be the reason but many Polish children were kidnapped, Germanized and put up for adoption to German families in WW2. I read something like 200,000 kids taken, 30,000 returned.
@@whimsy-chan1188 Also, half of Poland was literally part of Germany for a really long time. The Red Baron was born in Poland, even. Since they were the same country, there were a lot of Poles moving to Germany and vice versa
@@filmandfirearms It's not just the people moving, the actual borders between the countries moving means that people born back in the day may have been born in parts of Germany that are today parts of Poland, making their DNA similar to people living in parts of Poland that were once Germany. So they may very well have been 'german' at the time, but the descendants of the 'german' people who stayed in the area are now 'polish', if this makes any sense. Would be much easier to describe with diagrams, lol.
@@hedera1332 The comment said they were Polish, not German. If the DNA test found that, then clearly there was a notable ethnic difference. This difference was something which was acknowledged at the time, as Poles, like other ethnic groups in the German Empire and Austro-Hungarian Empire, such as Czechs and Hungarians, had their own regiments in the military
@@filmandfirearms They said they were more Polish than they thought (meaning they thought they would have been more German) . How ancestry and the like calculate you DNA background is by comparing it with people in the known area. If you DNA is similar to majority of people in that certain area, then you probably share ancestors with them, therefore your ancestors probably come from the place those people live. This can be a little inaccurate for places like Poland, though, where the borders have changed so much. It is possible that their ancestors lived in an area of Poland when it was still a part of Germany, their ancestors therefore would have identified themselves as German (and they would have been). However, after a border change that part of Germany since became a part of Poland, so now the people living in that area identify as Polish (with their ancestors having identified themselves as German). Andiwrath's family then does a DNA test and their DNA matches up most with the group living in the area of Poland that was once Germany, making their ancestry Polish when they were expecting German.
This is just one theory though, as was said, people often just moved freely between the two countries back in the day, or during WW2 many poles pretended to be German iirc 🤷
Danny getting beat with a morning star. Sorry Danny, but you brought it on yourself.
I remember a fake commercial for Ancestry. It begins with a white person saying something like “Thomas Edison”, implying that’s who they’re related to. Then there’s a black person who says “Thomas Jefferson”. Next there’s another white person claiming they’re related to a historical white person. After that is a black person saying “Thomas Jefferson”. And another black person saying “Thomas Jefferson”... and so on and so on
Quite amusing
Wait, I thought the name MacDonald and red hair were both things that are stereotypically associated with the Irish but are actually more Scottish, right? Or is it I who really has the misconception?
You are correct
@@Infinety68 Thanks! I'm relieved lol. I completely forgot to google it after commenting this and now my brain is full already from summer semester starting today, so I'll cheerfully take your word for it XD
The "two different sets of Genes" bit about killed me
I remember for history class that people coming to America through Ellis Island often got different last names if their last name was complicated. Often they'd be given the last name of the person who was in line in front of them or Smith, Jones, Brown, White and many other bland names simply because the people doing in-take-forms couldn't spell the name given or couldn't understand what name was being given. There's always the possibility that an American's ancestor's name wasn't exactly what was written in the books if they came to America during a certain time. LOL. So yeah...loads of accidental name changes.
that photo of Simon's baby with the beard made me guffaw loudly in a Dunkin Donuts
'McDonald, thats pretty Irish' - the whole of Scotland cringes
It was probably MacDonald essentially the same as McDonald meaning son of donald. But Irish and Scottish write it differently enjoy that knowlege nugget.
@@splaty691 Fair, would still need to be of Scots extraction (poss the plantations) to use Mac at all, given the irish version is O
Without the Mac-/Mc- prefix...Scottish are Pictish.
Just saying, Danny, it's not that hard my 90 year old grandma was able to spit in the tube enough to get good results.

Simon: MAKE IT SHORTER DANNY!!!

Biology is cool and complicated as hell. Gene expression is not the same over your entire body. A male has XY and due to these differences in expression some parts of the body will express X instead of Y. People think of male/female as a binary 0/1 type thing but in reality, it is EVERYTHING in between. Some parts of your body could be more male and some parts more female. You can even by XY female if early on your Y chromosome is silenced.
The hospital i was born in had a class action lawsuit for several years in which one i was born recently because something like over 200 births were swapped. So my parents have always wondered since that came out, me too. Im 3 inches taller than my dad. Lol
200 births!!!??? That's CRIMINAL!
What a nightmare.
People after hearing your ancestors were Irish: Oh we could tell you were Irish because you have such pretty red hair!
Red haired Irish lass: yeah, it's dyed, dufus.

My dad gifted me a dna kit, the main reason I haven’t taken it was bc they “can not guarantee the information will not be used or sold to insurance companies to raise my premiums in the future.”
This sounds very American to me. I would hate to have insurance that works in such ways
This is *exactly* the reason nobody should have one of these tests done.
@@beauregardslim1914 not to mention that they provide the government with the data as well.
They also are screwed up. My son did one and showed he isn’t Italian which is not possible. I watched them cut him out of my womb and put matching bracelets on us. And he looks exactly like me. The test is fucked up.
@@debshaw680 maybe if you take one you'll find you're not Italian either

Lydia Fairchild applied for “enforcement of parental assistance” that required DNA test for paternity. It wasn’t welfare assistance.
? Agreed. She should kick those kids out of her house asap. They're useless.
Whilst Chimerism is rare over all what I find most interesting is that both Lydia and Karen (the lady from Boston Lydia's lawyer found the article about) were Chimeras in the first place, as Simon says Chimerism only happen in a multiple child pregnancy when one child dies in utero and is absorbed by 'one of' their sibling(s). However it is far more common for either the absorber and absorbee to be male or for the mother to absorb the dead sibling
Okay Sam im dissapointed, you had the oppotunity to make it take 5 minutes before Simon actually got into the introduction and it would seem like it was all his fault
but you didnt, step it up you magician

Guess I am weird.. or a genealogist. I bought kits for my whole family... even a few cousins :) But then I have been researching genealogy since before it was cool. I started going with my dad to old musty libraries when I was just 8. I think at first it was just to get me out of my mother's hair but I really enjoyed it. Those are some really sweet memories I have of time with my dad.
I have a Gen-Z sibling who was very concerned that we might have participated in slavery, so I did my Ancestry and was just tracking along each branch to get out of the country. One specific branch, the Pattees, have been on this continent since the late 1500s. 11th great grandparents!
There were always rumors about my paternal heritage. My father adopted me because my mother was married to someone else when she conceived. Turns out the rumors were true. I am 75% British with Wales and my father's lineage was almost entirely German. I have virtually no German ancestry. One mystery solved but another one remains. Who was my father? I suspect one day someone will match with my DNA from his side and I can figure it out from there but he isn't likely to still be alive.
I would do this dna thing but I would probably end up related to a mass murder or worse justin bever.
I'm related to John Wayne...Gacy, said no one ever! ua-cam.com/video/zRakAuHQguo/v-deo.html
Fortunately, few mass murderers are going to be willing to put their DNA into a public database.
DNA test said I wasn't Irish, but the sun said I was.
The analysis of DNA is accurate. However trying to figure out ancestry from it can involve various problems. One of which was cited at the end of this piece. There are cases of identical twins having different ancestories. That can't happen. That's a result of the ancestry companies and the types of markers or assumptions about geographic regions that they make. Also DNA can produce different attributes within the same family. You know the recessive genes or the ability of DNA to alter itself. Also, the different companies use different databases and different geographic references. Often they use histories from previous clients in making the determinations. Well the DNA is something that's easy to determine the assumptions of origin depend on a lot of other factors. But overall depending on the company they can be fairly accurate. However, DNA can tell you physical attributes it has no way of affecting your culture or your environment that you grew up in. So as a human being the only thing you may have in common with an ancestor is a DNA marker. That's it. You would know nothing about their culture, their language, or their environment. In short, everything that would make them belong to that area of the world at whatever time period the ancestry company would be pointing to. Remember country borders change all the time. And within countries there's often many cultural subdivisions.
These tests are guess work in a lot of cases. They are for entertainment purposes only and not to be taken seriously as identical twins can get different results.
Did you see the Last Week Tonight w/John Oliver on DNA tests? Very enlightening.
Those DNA tests are not even close to "fool proof"
There is a case where Identical twins each sent in a kit and got completely different results...
So flawed was the tests that they were not recognized as siblings...
Well there's about a less then 10% chance of it being misleading or wrong so maybe they just had bad luck on that test
My cousins sister uncles brother totally had this happen to them too!
@@Loralanthalas Why don't you try and look it up.
It is an actual case.
John Oliver even did a segment about it.
Instead of being an ignorant fool that wants to troll so badly they fail at trolling do something intelligent and research something before making idiotic comments about it.
@@Loralanthalas Wow, you cannot even trust Fox News.
"Identical twins, identical DNA, different ancestry results? We put three kits to the test"
That is the title of the article from FOX10
I thought all you Reich-wingers loved Fox and did everything they told you to.
Dude... biological chimera’s are so interesting.... make videos about that? Maybe on a different channel

How did you get that sample...?

There is a disturbing lack of incest in this episode.
Yep, turns out my Uncle Mark is actually my father's half-brother. There've been rumors in my family that my grandfather chased away at least one guy interested in my grandmother, but apparently at least one slipped past him. And this would have been back in the 1940s, post WWII, such a wholesome time when people had better moral values...or not!
Lol you think....
Yeah. Anyone saying 50s were the best us SERIOUSLY fucked up. Not in any good way.
There have always been degenerates and there always will be. What defines a society is how they handle said degenerates. Are they treated like what they are, or are they let to run rampant, unchallenged?
