      you have a complete misconception on how "society trys to divide people", specially when Portugal in few years is half way to not being Portugal anymore, was it even worth to be Portuguese for thousand years when millions gave their life for Portugal and now you dont recognize your people in your own land anymore? Is there something wrong to want Portugal for portuguese, or England for english people? whats the point about doing something in life then? why you even here in this page watching some of your country history if you ignore or careless about your bloodlines?

Besides coming from Portuguese ancestry from the Porto region, on my mother's side, my father has Spanish and Moorish ancestry, and his great grandmother, who was Portuguese from Faro, married a Cantonese man from Macau in the early 19th century, and moved to Ceará, Brazil. His mother, who looked very asian, married a man from Pernambuco state with Dutch ancestry, besides the classic Northeastern caboclo, or Sertanejo, a mixture of native Indigenous groups with African and Portuguese. My mother was from a family proud to be descendent of a famous Indigenous chief known as "Cacique Tibiriçá", as well as French Belgian and the Portuguese ancestors, and the ubiquitous African blood no Brazilian can negate. I love to be as far as genetically possible from the concept of a "pure race".

      @@tumado7304 hey 👋🏼 So, imagine DNA as a “book of stories” that we carry inside us. Each person has pieces of DNA passed down from their ancestors, like chapters written by people who lived before us. Scientists can “read” these chapters using DNA tests. When they find specific pieces of DNA that are common in people from different regions or cultures, they can trace where those pieces came from. For example, if Portuguese people have pieces of DNA that are similar to North African or Roman DNA, it shows that people from those cultures mixed with the ancestors of the Portuguese long ago. This is how we learn about the genetic history of ancient cultures through DNA 🧬 I hope it helped, bud. Stay curious ☺️

    For many years I had a strong desire to go to Portugal, with no understanding why. I made my first visit in 2016 and have been back 4 times. As a New Zealander, it is the furthest place to travel to - exactly opposite sides of the planet. After my first visit, I did a DNA test and found I had Portuguese ancestry. I have been intrigued as to where in my lineage this came from. There has been much speculation that the Portuguese arrived in NZ, 200 years before Abel Tasman officially discovered it. I do wonder if DNA comes with a memory which could explain the pull to visit Portugal.

      Not true; the Celts that arrived in the British Isles came from Central Europe, traveling there through the Strait of Dover. The Celtic migration that came to the Iberian Peninsula arrived earlier. They traveled from Central Europe and crossed the Pyrenees Mountains, arriving in Galicia, Asturias and northern Portugal. Some trading did occur between the two over the Atlantic.

      They don't really have that big of an impact on portuguese DNA, but that doesn't mean they were irrelevant, far from it. The jewish community was expelled from the kingdom/country a lot of times and, while they in fact had those surnames like Pereira, Oliveira, etc..., it is naíve to think "most portuguese family names like yours were originally jews". That is an absolutely wild conclusion and completely removed from reality. Those are the surnames that became notable for being the most adopted by jewish people because they were incredibly common among the native portuguese population and it would facilitate their integration in portuguese society.
      Sure, there are places that became notable for having some well-known jewish communities, but they didn't play that important of a role in our society due to the persistance of our kings on getting them out of the country, hence why countries like Netherlands became such powerhouses - they decided to embrace the sephardics into their country and benefited from their activities.
      Still, regarding your comment, there isn't that big of an influence from the jewish community in Portugal, and those surnames do not represent the jewish influence here. They only decided to utilize them because of how common they were and the really vast majority of people carrying those surnames do not have the slightest influence of jewish DNA in them.

    I'm a deep heart 💜❤️ Portuguese Patriot. As my parents were natives who traveled to Germany as immigrants, I was born and raised in Germany. So my mind is half German too. But my Portuguese roots are developed very well.
    Since I got my first national history lessons in the portuguese school 🏫🎒. I had two afternoon hours. For those who want to know this brave and fine Knight, it's Duarte Pacheco Pereira.
    This man was outstanding for his time. And combined one biologist, geologist, astronomical, and mathematical. If this isn't enough already, he was one very competent knight for the crown 👑 of Portugal. He gained the title of Marshall, after defending our first settlement in India. Against one combined army of several suranats. About 13-15.000 with war elephants 🐘. With 366 men, only. Then the King ordered him to capture one french Corsair. Who was charged the portuguese coasts constantly. No problem for him. As a Captain of the Royal Navy. So you people know.
    I have many more very interesting historical facts to tell. If someone wants to know more. I'll be pleased 😀. Happy 🎊 Year

And now, just white. I used to have freckles. So does my daughter. My father resembles people from Galicia, and he is an Oliveira (R1b - Haplo). My mother has blue eyes, but that can be from a central European relative - the only non-Iberic lineage I could document.

    I’m a mixed Louisiana Creole and I have Portuguese ancestry. It may have been at least one of my grandfathers, as the Portuguese that came to Louisiana often married Creole women.
    It shows up regionally on my mtDNA as Angola, and on my autosomal DNA as Maghreb and British Isles.
    I also have French and Spanish ancestry. My French ancestry shows up regionally as Ireland and French West Africa and my Spanish ancestry shows up regionally as Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
    I have olive skin with yellow undertones. I tan easily and turn lighter when I’m not in the sun. I have black ancestry, of course, so my hair is coily. But my roots are Native American, so that’s how I look… like a Native American mixed with black and European 😂

      dando origem a milhões de miscigenados que durante o Brasil colonial eram todos portugueses
      súbditos dos reis e rainhas de Portugal e se tornaram brasileiros no pós-independência

    Moura is not the same as Mouro. Moura is a homonym word with two distinct roots and meanings; one from Celtic *MRVOS, the other from Latin maurus. The word "moura" (alternatively, "moira", "maura"; medieval: "mora"), feminine of "mouro", is thought to originate from the Celtic *MRVOS and the Indo-European *mr-tuos that originated in Latin the word mortuus and in Portuguese/Galician the word "morto" ('dead'). Some authors think that the mouras are the deceased.

    D'Alen Tejo was the land to which Jews from Spain migrated in 1492. ELIZABETH of CASTILE married FERDINAND of ARAGON, "the Catholic" princes, united Spain, and expelled all the Jews to Porto Calis to be "the new Christians." But they kept the Judaic faith. From there, they moved to the Netherlands and then to Brazil. Thanks to the Catholic church, Cristaos novos (New Christians are Jews) are Jews. They are converted in name only. from there to the Netherlands. The beautiful Synagogue in Amsterdam is Portuguese.

    Good video. The genetic and historical part is great, but the part about surnames is completely wrong. Surnames appeared in Portugal in the late Middle Ages (first in noble families) and in some areas only after 1500. You can't trace ancestry using surnames. It's ridiculous.
