I did a DNA test and found out my dad was adopted (he didn’t know, he’s almost 70) and he has half siblings. My grandma was adopted, which she knew, but has discovered she has about 11 siblings!
I know a person who his family migrated from many countries due to war and they're not quiet sure about any of the family history because his parents can't read. He wants to trace back his ancestors which site do you think is the best to know which countries he originated from? (i apologize if my English is not correct)
I can respect that she didn’t say “where is my Mexican side?” I’ve seen so many videos of Hispanic people saying “where is my Mexican? Or Puerto Rican?” Like, come on man, us Hispanics are mixed. Centuries of mixing made it normal to us to the point that we don’t really think about it
@@skeletalforce9673 in a sense that’s not entirely true. The “Mexican” DNA is native. Olmec, Yaqui, Mayan, Perupecha etc. But some people don’t realize us Mexicans have native blood. So they look for “Mexican” not for native
@@JesusFlores-ju3mh Oh yeah if you see true mexians as the indiginous, then yes there is mexian dna. I think ofthe country of Mexico when I said Mexico, and that only existed after colonization, and has no dna specific to it, because theres various levels of native and european blood in the population.
My father was abandoned at age 2. He grew up in foster care, and knew nothing about himself. I wish that DNA testing had been available for him. I'm glad you took the test and that it was reassuring for you! Live long and prosper!

I am from Maryland. My mom gave up my brother in the ,1940s He close to two year old ,but my mom want to keep him . She try to get some of her family to help her , but no one's wood .
No idea who you are or what kind of content you make, this showed up in my feed for some reason (probably because I've been procrastinating and watching whatever youtube throws at me). You seem very sweet and relatable, that is all. Have a nice day people.
I took a DNA test last January with AncestryDNA because I too was interested about my ancestors. The thing about Ancestry DNA is they connect you with relatives you match with. My mother never knew who her father was, well, my DNA results matched me with a woman that turned out to be my aunt, we connected and the history all fit too well because her father was US Military stationed in Germany. My mother and my newfound aunt started chatting as well, then my mom took a DNA test as well and it connected the both of them as sisters. Last month my family got together and met our new long-lost family. Now I got new uncles, a new aunt, and some new cousins.
Just so you know, Ancestry is not the only company who connects you with DNA relatives. 23andme also connects you with DNA relatives on a monthly basis and you can choose to contact them or not.
Similar story, however I tried the AncestryDNA and found my cousin who put me in contact with my father who I thought was deceased. Ended up being the best thing I did, we now have an amazing relationship! I am now turning 45... who knew? Really fascinating, met my whole new family and was welcomed and accepted like I’ve always been there. Awesomeness!!! Thank you for sharing 😊
Echo:'I've'I've been told that Gillette is a French last name' Me: I've been told Gillette is a brand of shaving foam. P.S No offence to her, this was ment to be a bit of a joke.
My mother was adopted and she died when I was 18. I took a dna test and was able to find out what we were and I was able to find her birth family along with her half brother and half sister. I allowed me to for her what was her biggest wish. I wish you the best!
Does that mean you can detect the odor before or after someone eats it? "Sir, I wasn't able to find any issues with your plumbing system - did you perhaps recently eat asparagus?"
I did the 23andME DNA test and found two 1st cousins, the name of my father and a possible brother. Also found that my father had as much as 35 other kids.
I was stolen as a baby and never knew my ancestry. It was fun to do the test and learn about myself. It is hard for people with no family to feel connected sometimes. The amazing part is that I have a sister that was also disposed of by our mom. Without the DNA, I would never have met her. Thanks for sharing!
Omg! What a story. I’m glad you found a birth relative. I can guarantee there are millions of babies who were stolen at one time or another and never know. Have you heard of the Paul Fronzak story? If not, google it. Just one of the millions. He was a twin and he has yet to find his sister.
I subscribed to your channel because of your awesome lesson on color theory. Now I've just watched this new one and, as a father, I'm really impressed by how brave you are in discussing your DNA test. A big hug.
Echo, I love your light-hearted reflection on your DNA findings. My great-maternal grandfather was an orphan, according to family reports. They talked about the 'orphan train's of the 1800s, in which the hungry, impoverished eastern U.S. families would put their children on board trains. Farm families along the train routes would check these little children out and adopt the ones that looked healthy enough to pitch in with the farm work.
I did both and each was more comprehensive in different ways. I thought I'd like 23&me better but ancestry is way better. And you can connect and view relatives much much more easily
Great video. Thank you for sharing your DNA story. I am a DNA fanatic and have got everyone in my family to take tests! Personally, I think everyone should take a DNA test and then we could see - that science thing - that we are all such a blend of people from all over anyway. We should celebrate that! Your an amazing woman - very brave - well done!
Echo: Oh, I'm genetically likely to drink slightly more caffeine than normal. Me: (buried beneath a mountain of echo's empty monster cans. Her days 2nd full pot of coffee rests, about to be consumed. It's 2am) SLIGHT???
the only americans are us native americans and latinos(except for spanish phillipinos and portugese)native americans aswell we are the only americans not whites and black people and asian people only us
I think she is confused with what Mexican is. Most Mexicans are around half native American and half Spanish. (Some Mexicans are predominantly Spanish or predominantly Native)
The Spanish lived in México for generations so they’re children became “Mexican”. I know my great-grandfather was considered “Mexican” who came over to my country on a ship. My whole life I had claimed this “Mexican” blood but after getting the dna test I’m finding out I have too little Native American so now I can no longer claim to be a bit Mexican 😔. It was a bummer.
You're really sweet. I hope your life brings you happiness.. I am really sorry to hear that you are an orphan.. I can't imagine the pain that brings you.
Orphan girl here too was actually in an orphanage took ancestry dna too my results are as follows England,Wales,&Northwestern Europe: 63% Ireland and Scotland: 21% Native American: 10% Germanic Europe: 3% Sweden: 3% I looked into the Native American thing and was able to trace my birth mothers side. She was born on a Creek reservation. Anyway if you are an orphan or adopted it's a good way to find out what your genetic make up is.
Glad to see that you have a good attitude about your family history 👍. So many who do this are all hysterical about what they find out but you have a sweet attitude! Good on you 😘
These can be cool for more than just finding out ethnicity. My mother in law never knew who her father was and was recently able to connect with a sister she didn't know she had and find out about her father who is dead all because she took a DNA test. I don't know how all of them work, but the company she used allows you to connect with people who have similar DNA as you for the purpose of family history. So cool! And it was so exciting for her to finally find out so much about herself!
I really felt for you while watching this. You were very brave to do this online. Thank goodness you were able to find out more about yourself and your possible relatives.
Therese Eriksson You know, this can be shocking for you, but for some english isn't their first language. So maybe, instead of being rude, contemplate the options.
"ring finger longer" is looking at increased testosterone exposure in utereo. It's the length of index finger compared to ring finger. If ring finger longer, you're high test
Question to americans , if white is the term you use for people that have origins in europe then why are people from spain are called hispanic when they're actually just white. Idk just a question
Hispanic means anyone from a Spanish speaking country. Regardless of race. Spaniards are spanish speakers therefore Hispanic. But they are NOT latinos. Latinos are only people from Latin America.
I loved 23andme especially being adopted. I was matched as 98% Russian and found the tribe I came from - The Nenets from the Arkhangelsk region. My maternal haplogroup was Saami origin and they settled in Northern Scandinavia (I'm not Scandinavian at all), but we are Nenet of Russia. Both Nenets and Saami are reindeer herders of the arctic! :) Really cool what you can find!
Waw ❤️ I've seen a sort of documentary about the Nenets of Siberia. It's a beautiful tribe from what I remember. The documentary is quite old and translated in french but it can be founded on youtube ! It's called Rendez-vous en terres inconnues - les Nénets.
I enjoyed your journey of discovery, Echo. You came up randomly on my feed. I rarely click on feed suggestions, but since I’ve viewed a few DNA reveals, I was attracted to yours. Well done. Travel safely and choose kindness.!
This is gonna sound cheesy as hell, but you seriously mean so much to me, Echo. I’m going through a whole lot of dysphoria in regards to gender and sexuality, but watching you always makes me feel infinitely better. Thank you, and I wish you the best. ❤️🖤
There is a group called DNA Detectives that helps people search for relatives. You take those ancestry matches and go through family trees to find family members. They have helped many adoptees, foundlings and people who don't know who one parent was connect with family. I have seen foundlings get connected with siblings when they had only 5th cousin links. I am hoping to do the test myself soon and hoping I get some good matches as I know I have a sister but don't know who she is or anything about her. A relative just decided to tell me I have a sister and no other information back in 1997. Hopefully if I find her she is open to connection.
I found out who my father is and that I have a older sister and 2 older brothers. Turns out they are not who the relative thought my father/sister were. My father said he was happy about a relationship when I connected but no further contact has occurred.
Muy interesante tu video. Tu haplogrupo materno es A2H, es decir que tu ancestro materno es de Norteamérica o de los indígenas Kogui. Ellos viven en la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (Colombia)
My whole family is so thankful none of us took a test like this before my grandmother died. She was so hateful towards the native people of my country, speaking ill of them regularly decades after she moved to the other side of the country. My brother took the test and we have a big chunk of native blood in our vains :) With a little research it quickly came for a day that it was from her branch of the family, haha :) We assume she knew this very well, and the hatred was just to hide that fact from her new surroundings when she moved. Makes sense in hinesight, but still so wrong.
You don't know. My husband comes from the English/Scottish Border Country. We knew that the people in the area are all distantly related, and that a thousand years ago his ancestors were supposed to be Vikings or Danish. The Cumbrian dialect is about one third Norse and two thirds English/Lowland Scottish .When we did his DNA it came out as 59% Norwegian, 22% Swedish 18% Scottish and 1% English,from his G.G.grandmother who came from Lancashire.All his ancestors come from Carlisle,Bewcastle or Liddesdale in Roxburgh in Scotland .My own DNA comes out as 62% Welsh, 20% English and 18% German.-from my Great Grand-father. The percentages do not exactly correspond to what I have found out doing family history, so we may get more from one ancestor and less from another
It is the opposite with me and my husband. He falls asleep almost immediately, while I stay awake for 2 hours resenting him for getting more rest than me. Lol.
I did Ancestry and 23&Me. I was found by my father who also did it. I went through this. Still, I think all the best traits you carry showed through for you. You are a super talented and beautiful human.
I know nothing about my heritage except vaguely what you do and watching you do this has calmed some of my anxiety about doing it myself. Thanks for doing this, from one half-“some sort of Spanish I don’t know” lady to another.
I just found your channel today and have been having a blast watching your content. Thanks for putting out such positivity into the world, you are awesome. -Tamara
i really like this channel because of these reasons 1) the voice is quiet and soothing and not very like “BAM” and it’s just like calming to watch 2) it’s an art channel that doesn’t only do art and has so many things and a variety of topics that many audiences can enjoy 3) the styles and aesthetics are amazing and just like soothing to me. i’m really into edgy type aesthetics and styles so it’s really cool 4) she’s AMAZING at explaining stuff. like, the tutorials are easy to follow and i understand them 5) she’s an amazing person. she’s so sweet and caring 🥺🥺 i don’t know why, but i just really wanted to say this because it’s just like this channel is perfect for me i’m new to this channel but i’m here to stay and i’m glad ❤️
Hi my names Nico. Currently, I am levitating while dressed in my jumpsuit. I'm pretty. Odd. Yeah you can say that- or don't. (Anyone who gets those references can be mah new ibf)
I'm adopted and although I know my bio parents I, like you, don't know my history so I really want to find out. But I don't have the money RN lol. I love your personality. Thanks for the video!
I would definitely agree that you have Scandinavian genes. My dad is very Swedish, and so am I. You have strikingly similar facial structures and features as me, and my dad's side. Could be purely coincidental, but I see a lot of that in you. Thanks for sharing with us!
I dont think so. Before watching the video i saw british + mediterranean + a tiny speck of native american. I live in argentina so I can easily distinguish features like hers. After watching the video it turns out i nailed it. Her type of nose and broadness of her upper face are quite typical in iberian/castizo americans. Her eyes look totally british to me
I am very, very privileged to know a lot about my family tree, but I love seeing people find out about theirs, ESPECIALLY when you know nothing. Go you! I’m was so happy to see you become more comfortable with exploring it as the video progressed. There is nothing shameful in family history, only amazing stories. I hope that you’ve continued, Echo ❤
As an orphan myself, doing one of these was definitely eye opening, i found out that not only am i russian but a good percentagge of my heritage is finnish. Iwas given up at birth so i never got to know my real parents, i was adopted at the age of 3
I have a2h1 how cool! My mother is also Native Mexican and Spanish! She's also dead so is my father! Nice to meet you Echo my name is Eelia...have a happy day cuz!
I love this!! I know this vid is older now. I’ve yet to try any DNA testing like this but it looks like fun!! Maybe, someday, when I have money that has no where else to go, I’ll try it!!!

These can be cool for more than just finding out ethnicity. My mother in law never knew who her father was and was recently able to connect with a sister she didn't know she had and find out about her father who is dead all because she took a DNA test. I don't know how all of them work, but the company she used allows you to connect with people who have similar DNA as you for the purpose of family history. So cool! And it was so exciting for her to finally find out so much about herself!
I really felt for you while watching this. You were very brave to do this online. Thank goodness you were able to find out more about yourself and your possible relatives.
I'm actually super jealous, I wish I could find out what I am.
I'm new, and our personalities are very similar, I like you.
Meow Rchl our*
sweety spice yes?
You can, just do the test.
Therese Eriksson Uh, maybe she meant she's *new* to the channel
Therese Eriksson You know, this can be shocking for you, but for some english isn't their first language. So maybe, instead of being rude, contemplate the options.
Echo me and my bff LOVE your videos ILYSM (EDIT: OMG MY COMMENT GOT HEARTED!!!!!!!)
I am so sorry, but... "My bff and I"...sorry!!! Grammar police 😂😂
the algo just popped you up. Haven't even gotten into the video yet and lol all I want is a tour of the room decor! Love it
"ring finger longer" is looking at increased testosterone exposure in utereo. It's the length of index finger compared to ring finger. If ring finger longer, you're high test
ECHO!!!! My family is aggressively arguing at this very moment and I feel much better now that you've posted!!!
My family used to do that alot too, lucky that don't anymore. But it WILL be okay ☺
my family used to do that . but now they are dead . Feel lucky
Question to americans , if white is the term you use for people that have origins in europe then why are people from spain are called hispanic when they're actually just white. Idk just a question
Hispanic means anyone from a Spanish speaking country. Regardless of race. Spaniards are spanish speakers therefore Hispanic. But they are NOT latinos. Latinos are only people from Latin America.
@@bulbasaur1232 Actually rhey are latinos... actual latinos are spanish, portuguese, french, Italians and even Romanians.
@@javiruiz9876 , Romanians are not Latinos. lmao. They are Slavs.
Eodyn no Romanians or latins
Anonymous A880 well, the word latino does not come from latín american, it refers to the countries with a latin origin language
I told my friend about you and you family, and she just walked out of the room.
I have that effect on people.
Echo Gillette oof
Holy frigg senpai noticed me!
Echo Gillette you and me both
Echo Gillette Same gurl......same....
I loved 23andme especially being adopted. I was matched as 98% Russian and found the tribe I came from - The Nenets from the Arkhangelsk region. My maternal haplogroup was Saami origin and they settled in Northern Scandinavia (I'm not Scandinavian at all), but we are Nenet of Russia. Both Nenets and Saami are reindeer herders of the arctic! :) Really cool what you can find!
Waw ❤️ I've seen a sort of documentary about the Nenets of Siberia. It's a beautiful tribe from what I remember. The documentary is quite old and translated in french but it can be founded on youtube ! It's called Rendez-vous en terres inconnues - les Nénets.
The red color looks great in your hair
Watching your videos makes me feel strangely good about the world. And thanks for the awesome points.
I like you left a nice comment. It seems others were quite mean.
I enjoyed your journey of discovery, Echo. You came up randomly on my feed. I rarely click on feed suggestions, but since I’ve viewed a few DNA reveals, I was attracted to yours. Well done. Travel safely and choose kindness.!
You are not only a beautiful person but so articulate. Your parents must be so proud of you wherever they might be. God bless you
I agree
This is gonna sound cheesy as hell, but you seriously mean so much to me, Echo. I’m going through a whole lot of dysphoria in regards to gender and sexuality, but watching you always makes me feel infinitely better. Thank you, and I wish you the best. ❤️🖤
TheBeastlyPanda 04 good luck!
What a coincidence; I just came here from a three-hour marathon of watching top surgery reveals/updates and crying. :,)
Good luck at i wish you the best right back at you like a frikin pro baseball player
You can do it! We believe in you. Plus, this a whole community of people who will listen to you.
Out of pure curiosity, what is dysphoria? (I don’t want to be rude......I am just curious)
There is a group called DNA Detectives that helps people search for relatives. You take those ancestry matches and go through family trees to find family members.
They have helped many adoptees, foundlings and people who don't know who one parent was connect with family. I have seen foundlings get connected with siblings when they had only 5th cousin links.
I am hoping to do the test myself soon and hoping I get some good matches as I know I have a sister but don't know who she is or anything about her. A relative just decided to tell me I have a sister and no other information back in 1997. Hopefully if I find her she is open to connection.
Have you found your sister?
Have you found her?
?
I found out who my father is and that I have a older sister and 2 older brothers. Turns out they are not who the relative thought my father/sister were.
My father said he was happy about a relationship when I connected but no further contact has occurred.
@@dyspraxicorganisedscrapper371 No further contact! Thats sad...I hope you're doing well though!
You are very brave for sharing this and also
I'm so sorry for what happened to you
Muy interesante tu video. Tu haplogrupo materno es A2H, es decir que tu ancestro materno es de Norteamérica o de los indígenas Kogui. Ellos viven en la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (Colombia)
Ahh, my mom took this test and we got the shock of our lives. Nothing we were told at all was true. I think I cried for at least an hour afterwards.
My whole family is so thankful none of us took a test like this before my grandmother died. She was so hateful towards the native people of my country, speaking ill of them regularly decades after she moved to the other side of the country. My brother took the test and we have a big chunk of native blood in our vains :) With a little research it quickly came for a day that it was from her branch of the family, haha :)
We assume she knew this very well, and the hatred was just to hide that fact from her new surroundings when she moved. Makes sense in hinesight, but still so wrong.
Bass Trammel where can you take the test
Order it online. They all seem to have some differences, so check out whats included before buying it.
How does this mess you up? It doesn’t define you
Bass Trammel she probably knew and was distancing herself
Mine would just say “Welsh. As Welsh as you can get”
You don't know. My husband comes from the English/Scottish Border Country. We knew that the people in the area are all distantly related, and that a thousand years ago his ancestors were supposed to be Vikings or Danish. The Cumbrian dialect is about one third Norse and two thirds English/Lowland Scottish .When we did his DNA it came out as 59% Norwegian, 22% Swedish 18% Scottish and 1% English,from his G.G.grandmother who came from Lancashire.All his ancestors come from Carlisle,Bewcastle or Liddesdale in Roxburgh in Scotland .My own DNA comes out as 62% Welsh, 20% English and 18% German.-from my Great Grand-father. The percentages do not exactly correspond to what I have found out doing family history, so we may get more from one ancestor and less from another
DROP EVERYTHING ECHO UPLOADED A VIDEO
ASMR no voice I literally stopped writing a paper that is due tomorrow to watch it lol
You’ve officially convinced me to get tested. And congrats on confirming your ancestry.
“I sincerely don’t know who I am”
Same.
I have the ability to lay my head down and immediately go to sleep, too. My husband HATES that I can sleep so easily 😂
If he isn't taking a magnesium supplement, maybe he should start. It helps a lot with sleep.
It is the opposite with me and my husband. He falls asleep almost immediately, while I stay awake for 2 hours resenting him for getting more rest than me. Lol.
This is relatable, not an orphan just adopted, never met father, mom just lives far.
I did Ancestry and 23&Me. I was found by my father who also did it. I went through this. Still, I think all the best traits you carry showed through for you. You are a super talented and beautiful human.
Hey! I noticed you're subscribed to me
Quentin Mashups did you notice im subbed to you?
HEYY DO A NIRVANA AND MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS MASHUP PLEASE
Wait how do you see who's subbed to you?
How to life and stuff go to Echo's subscriptions.
Quentin Mashups hey! I noticed I am subscribed to you :>
caaavie nirvana and marina and the diamonds. What in the fresh hell. My ears are already bleeding
I know nothing about my heritage except vaguely what you do and watching you do this has calmed some of my anxiety about doing it myself. Thanks for doing this, from one half-“some sort of Spanish I don’t know” lady to another.
Gillette. The best a man can get.
Joe Stop 💀💀
Lol
Lmao
What a lovely girl! This is the best DNA video I've ever watched!
Love your aesthetic!
I just found your channel today and have been having a blast watching your content. Thanks for putting out such positivity into the world, you are awesome. -Tamara
Yuuusss echo posted, your amazing echo
You did the unboxing on the drawing figurines..best of luck to you!
Hello how are you doing😎😎😎😎
i really like this channel because of these reasons
1) the voice is quiet and soothing and not very like “BAM” and it’s just like calming to watch
2) it’s an art channel that doesn’t only do art and has so many things and a variety of topics that many audiences can enjoy
3) the styles and aesthetics are amazing and just like soothing to me. i’m really into edgy type aesthetics and styles so it’s really cool
4) she’s AMAZING at explaining stuff. like, the tutorials are easy to follow and i understand them
5) she’s an amazing person. she’s so sweet and caring 🥺🥺
i don’t know why, but i just really wanted to say this because it’s just like this channel is perfect for me
i’m new to this channel
but i’m here to stay and i’m glad
❤️
You rock, keep being awesome! Love your videos!
*_-we must sacrifice the blood of 100 orphans-_*
ElectraTheKilljoy I should not have laughed.
This is the best thing I’ve read all day
ElectraTheKilljoy This got dark pretty quickly...
I CANT READ IT :D

I'm sorry for your loss,
I hope your parents are resting in peace 😊❤❤
I love your name.
Mølly F ill send a prayer in this hiatus time
End Me |-/
Mai bøis the hiatus is over (I’m betting you both already knew this 😂)
Hi my names Nico. Currently, I am levitating while dressed in my jumpsuit. I'm pretty. Odd. Yeah you can say that- or don't.
(Anyone who gets those references can be mah new ibf)
SlimeWolf Oh my God I love you XD
I'm adopted and although I know my bio parents I, like you, don't know my history so I really want to find out. But I don't have the money RN lol. I love your personality. Thanks for the video!
hi echo
CONGRATS ON FIRST COMMENT
300 awesome points to you, my friend!!!
broomstick
oof
Echo Gillette Thank you echo !!! :)
Oh damn nice pfp
cosmic._.fallout Lol, thx!
I appreciate your search!! But what I've seen here is that you're an extremely thoughtful, sweet human being...thats what is important.
I would definitely agree that you have Scandinavian genes. My dad is very Swedish, and so am I. You have strikingly similar facial structures and features as me, and my dad's side. Could be purely coincidental, but I see a lot of that in you. Thanks for sharing with us!
I dont think so. Before watching the video i saw british + mediterranean + a tiny speck of native american. I live in argentina so I can easily distinguish features like hers. After watching the video it turns out i nailed it. Her type of nose and broadness of her upper face are quite typical in iberian/castizo americans. Her eyes look totally british to me
jane doe
when you say your fathers side , do you mean the front side or the back side?
(im feeling cheeky)
@@flanderstruck3751 I agree, to me most of her case looks irish-british, with a hint of spanish.
I love your art, Ehco!~ have a lovely day!
I'm a little orphan girl too..lol Dad dumped me at a daycare when I was 12 after my mom passed I should do this because it's a mystery to me too.
I wish I could hug you
I am very, very privileged to know a lot about my family tree, but I love seeing people find out about theirs, ESPECIALLY when you know nothing. Go you! I’m was so happy to see you become more comfortable with exploring it as the video progressed. There is nothing shameful in family history, only amazing stories. I hope that you’ve continued, Echo ❤
You kinda looks like Lilly from how I met your mother when she was in college lol
omg yes
Bruhhhh
Haha yea, hot innocent turn freaky college Lilly;)
I got one of these kits for Christmas and I’ve been putting it off but I’m so gonna do it now
👍
You know, that you give a way to them your genetic material, for use or to give to a third party...
Don't do it...
5:04 MELANESIA NOT MALAYSIA
7iiLoD Ye must calm down
Melanesia is people from Papua
@@michaelchapson3890 I think (hope) he or she was joking...I hope.
7iiLoD Ok but they weren’t being racist they were saying how stupidly angry Retro is
7iiLoD Jesus calm down and there is nothing wrong with being white and conservative
No matter what your Dna says, you're a special and intelligent person. Smile! I like your videos and style😄
Hello how are you doing😎😎
Melanesia not Malaysia. Oceania is all those pacific islands that don't belong to a continent.
Oceania IS the continent.
Are you even? I'm taking a picture of this.
www.britannica.com/place/Oceania-region-Pacific-Ocean
#TK-Dragon75! oceania is a continent numbskull
According to some historical records, those islands were connected one time and the continent was called Mu
Melanesia not malaysia...
Oceania is n
New Zealand and Australia
mostly, but there are a lot of islands in oceania, basically thet is every island under the Asian continent
As an orphan myself, doing one of these was definitely eye opening, i found out that not only am i russian but a good percentagge of my heritage is finnish. Iwas given up at birth so i never got to know my real parents, i was adopted at the age of 3
Very cool. I’m adopted and know absolutely nothing about my heritage, genes or family medical history. I may try this! 🙂
I'm also adopted, but from Russia. That's all I know about my heritage, so this also intrigues me!
When people ask how much cream and sugar I like in my coffee, I say "if you add enough, it tastes like cake."
Coffee is an excellent flavoring for a mug of milk and sugar!
you cant take the orphan excuse away from me.
i've already had so much taken from me
like my parents
because im an orphan
Rose Nysilck wait what do u mean?
YOU ARE BATMAN ARENT YOU
Your hair is FAB! And you’re very pretty. Thanks for sharing your story.
I have a2h1 how cool! My mother is also Native Mexican and Spanish! She's also dead so is my father! Nice to meet you Echo my name is Eelia...have a happy day cuz!
She's so nice I love her
Im 99% In love with this channel and 1% hungry...GREAT!
CreatiVT 99% hungry
I’m 100% in love with this channel, 23% hungry, and 70% bad at math.
I love this!! I know this vid is older now. I’ve yet to try any DNA testing like this but it looks like fun!! Maybe, someday, when I have money that has no where else to go, I’ll try it!!!
