IBERIAN doesn't mean solely Spanish, it also means Portuguese.
@Abraham Shekelbergstien its all in Europe so regardless of what country u from in Europe tell the same one people ssme goes for the native in the Americas Mexican native on USA native on all the native is central south America all the same that's why its call a race a body of the ethic people that share similar traits tradition everything. I am black all African is the same 3c2n though ethiopians somalia's on north Africa people look different in phenotype but that's one continent so they all African who say Africa only have phenotype

You can tell the people know truths and real information and history, they just sound different in these post....and always make sense.
Shout out to the American jaguar, the African lion, and the Asiatic Dragon.
@Nadir Kuleli exactly couldn't have said it better, they live like say they are different but actually the same, it's like Ethiopia and Eritrea or Somalia and somaliland all the same people, just devided by political bullshit...bro some people are so ignorant don't make sense you explain it to them they decide on conquer their own self

@Nadir Kuleli Ignorant
There are blonde people in Italy, lol. They are a small percentage of the population, but in numbers, there are probably more than a million blonde Italians. Also, she can get traits from the other ancestries as well, not just from one of them.
goodaim shield don't forget that Italy was invade by people from Norway (Sicily), Celts, Longobards, Arabs, Turkish... I had two fermale sister friends from Naples: the features were almost identica, but one had dark hair, skin and eyes whilst the other was blonde, blue-eyed and fair skin. No joke. Ciao
Simona Rivetta Yeah, my mom is blonde haired, blue eyed, and pale skinned, while her siblings are dark brown/black haired, brown/hazel eyed, and brown skinned. They're roughly half Italian, half English. They all took after their dad, and my mom took after her mom. It's weird how it happens, but it happens. Lol
goodaim shield True, but most of the blondes are situated in thr northern regions and arent ethnically Italian, at one point part of Switzerland was annexed by Italy and so most of the northerners are more along the west European
Simona Rivetta All those peoples left a negligible genetic imprint on the Italic populations.
Blond hair and blue eyes are extreme recessive traits. You could have a dozen generations of brown eyes and dark hair and have them pop out unexpectedly from the gene pool. Just ask the Kerds and the Berbers. It tells you of the strength of the Indo-European bloodline that such recessive traits emerge. The only more rare traits are green eyes and red hair...roughly the same people groups. You do not have to be Irish to have red hair!
"Full Italian" and "Full English". I'll fall off my chair if I ever see those results.
Rob749s the highest percentage I ever saw was someone being 97% Cameroonian
why no full nigerian?
+Juicy B Because the dna of Nigerian ethnic groups exist beyond the borders of demarcated, also Africans just like Europeans have never been strictly a stationary people, consider the Fulani of Nigeria who migrated from Senegal through the Western Sahel, & into Senegal a large portion of their ancestors migrated from Morocco, Berbers and Arabs. In saying that ultimately all Arabs have origins in the Arabian Peninsula. Consider the Hausa of Nigeria who are Nilo-Saharan by autosomal dna who speak an Afro-Asiatic language originating from Chad & Sudan. Several lineages which exist among them were the products of migrants from Sudan in 500 & 700 AD. Consider the Yoruba of Nigeria who also have branches in Benin and Togo, plus the Oyo empire which they forged stretched into Benin for a space of time dominating Dahomey. Also I read the Yoruba, Igbo dna is quite similar to Ga-Adangme & Akan of Ghana indicating historical links. Nigerian slaves were also sold to the Ashanti empire of Ghana.
full Chinese
+Hsiu-Ming Chang ...I doubt it. Do the test and come back with the results. And anyway, what is "full Chinese"?
I love these Ancestry reveals you have been doing with your grandparents.
+Southern Cali Mountain Inspired Art And Life thank you, and cheers for watching! :)
I love them too! I haven't seen any others on youtube.
A lot of Italians are blond
If grandmas Dad is Norman decent his DNA could show as French?
macpduff
The norwegians occupied the Normandy in France. That's where the region got its name from.
aww tell ur nan that its like a deck of cards, say her dads 50% Spanish and 50% British just for an example. because he pass on 50% of his DNA to his kids in any random order he can pass just his Spanish and no British genetics. Its like with these ancestry DNA tests only reveal like 10% of ur actually heratage because u loose so much each generation.
Leelee Your right because from my DNA results I got 45 percent Italy/Greece and my sister got the opposite of me. She got 50% Iberian. I also, have seen quite a few videos of brother and sister or sisters compare each other and they got the opposite of each other as well. So your right about that.
DNA testing for ancestry is not reliable
While I see why you are saying that, but you re just partly right. You dont lose anything each generation, The DNA test reveals what YOU and only You have taken out of your family DNA. Thats why it can be widely different from your siblings or anybody else. It does mean as you said that some of your specific dna will reveal what you are made of, not your family. Thats why the best way would be to have you and your both parents and grdparents tested.
So true but you dont loose anything. Its just what you randomly inherited. Its all still in there but what you individually inherited can be different from what actually half passed down to you. For example you could not have inherited french but because its still in your overall gene pool but not expressed because your individual genetic makeup did not pair with the french line. But because its still a part of your gene pool you can still pass french genes to your child even tho your individual genes didnt pair with it. Genetics is crazy.
James Colson That's not true. Each sibling shares an average of 50% of their DNA with the others, ranging from 0 to 100% roughly (of the autosomal DNA), so one can have i.e. 50% french and the other 0%, at least from the tested markers. (It's unlikely all DNA is sequenced, so there's also that extra error.) The percentages are just your own % of the inherited (presumed) i.e. french DNA, that's only weakly correlated to your pedigree ancestry. In mixed populations it's very inaccurate, unless the mixing was only a few generations ago. But the french DNA that's gone, doesn't pass to future generations. In your sibling that still has it, it can pass on.
I love your gran complimenting you at the end. Very sweet video to have as a keepsake.
Oh, almost forgot...you know how your Grandmother mentioned about some people from the Naples area, where her grandfather came from, had blue eyes and blond hair...that's easy to explain. You have to know a little of the history of Italy to know why this is, but, in essence, much of Italy was ruled by a Germanic tribe called the Lombards. The region around Naples was part of their territory, on and off, for a very long time. That's where the genes for those characteristics comes from :)
You'll find that if you trace their ancestry, that they have links to Germanic tribes at some stage. Most Italians that have blonde hair and blue eyes are from areas where there has been a Germanic influence in the areas' history, at some stage. Going back a few generations, even 10 or 15 generations, into a family tree will only show their Italian ancestry. This link to the peoples such as the Lombards and others is much further back in time. Unless you find records (which is possible) that go back far enough, you won't know. What you inherit from your parents is a bit of a crap-shoot, the combination of genes even siblings might inherit is rather large. In large families, some siblings can be as different as chalk and cheese, as far as their inherited set of genes and how they're expressed is concerned.
Peoples of Mediterranean (i.e. Sth European/Middle East/Nth African) descent rarely have blue eyes and/or blonde hair, but it's not unheard of. The reason being that both traits are normally recessive in the general population and rarely show up (about 1-5% of the time, or less). They mostly have brown or dark hair and brown eyes. Sometimes hazel eyes. It's only in those populations where the genes for those traits are either predominant or relatively common, is where they show up more frequently. In actual fact, both blonde hair and blue eyes never showed up in the genetics of any population until about 7000 years ago. Fair skin was even later...most Europeans before about 4000-4500BC had dark skin. The reason for the change (they think) was a mutation caused by a change in diet and not so much as less exposure to strong sunlight.
Ick!! I was writing a reply a few minutes back and somehow I killed it!!! :P
I never said that they couldn't have blue eyes/blond hair if they never had Germanic ancestry, only that it was more likely if they did. I did say that blue eyes/blond hair was found in populations with no Germanic/Northern European ancestry, only it was relatively rare compared to elsewhere (just as you repeated). Look at my own genetics, it says I have 0% (Stupid, really. If you don't supposedly have it, why mention it) from Scandinavia. Yet, I know full well that I have Scandinavian ancestors. But, they're far enough back to be of little or no consequence, genetically, in the present. Those genes never got passed down/expressed in my genetic makeup. It's the same with any Germanic/Nth European influences in the Italian genetics. It may have been there, to a minor degree, but it's not been passed down to the modern population. What I did say, though, was if you traced family lines back far enough (if possible), there would be a chance you'd find Lombard, hence Germanic, ancestors in some families. Doesn't mean to say you'll have their genes present in the modern population. But, if they were, it may enhance the chances of having blue eyes/blond hair. As to the whole population, it would be interesting to trace back and discover how many do have Lombardian (and other Germanic) ancestors. I would guess a small percentage do.
It's like this...Luigi---Mario---Antonio---20 more generations---Lothar "Bloodaxe" :) :P Even if the alleles for blue eyes and blond hair were apparent in 1-2% of the later generations (as native genes) and Lothar was from a long line of blue eyed blonds, 98-99% or greater chances you'd be a typical Italian with brown hair and brown/hazel/green/blue (descending in that order) eyes. And, probably, stuff all of Lothar's genes. However, in a large family, at least one of the siblings may show the blue eye/blond hair condition. As to whether it was from a native gene or from the Germanic side, only a more specific DNA test would tell. Ancestry's test, and others (such as 23 and Me), aren't that specific or accurate.
Unless there was some cultural, religious or other impediment to those Northern Europeans mixing with the locals, some of their genes must have been passed on, only that over time the genes from these peoples have been lost to the general population, as a whole. Though, they may have provided 1-2% of the total gene pool, to begin with, in their areas of influence. It would depend on how many Lombards, etc, were in Italy at any one time too. It wouldn't be like a mass replacement of the local population, so it was more likely a few percent compared to the local population. But, enough to keep them under their thumb for awhile. Much like the Norse in northern England. Or, even the Romans, as you mentioned. Different matter with the Greeks in southern Italy and such. Enough of them turned up to cause some substantial changes to the local populations, that have been passed down to the present.
Well, there you go. Just did a quick bit of research and found that for the Y-DNA Haplogroup I1, which is prevalent in Northern Europeans (i.e. Germans, Scandinavians, etc), it occurs in 6-7% of the Italian male population as a whole, but it's more common in the north of Italy and less so in the south. So, for the male line, at least 6-7% of the Italian genetic "soup" is of northern European origin. Not an overly significant proportion but hardly insignificant or negligible. I would define negligible as being less than 1or 2%, at the most. R1b is very common, as is the mDNA Haplogroup H, with most Italians belonging to these groups.
ptoblem is, that "italy" e.g. the romans had slaves from all over the world, especially nothern africa and the palestine Region, and in MANY cases, the owners e.g. enslavers mixed up with them - that's why a lot om todays italians still look more like someone from lybia, than like a "true" european, especially down south in sicilia .
Besides the turks, there is no other "folk" that is more "bastard" than the italians, cause only those two have ancestors from all over the world, proverbial - not even the portuguese are so heavily mixed.
Oh and what you are saying about Germans and polish People is wrong, especially saying this in generalization, cause my Family IS german, more german than abput 95 percent of all others and we definetly are closer to the polish, ukrainian and prussian People, than every average "german".
Thing is, that "Germany" has always been devided, geographically spoken and through the Roman wall throughout the Country and only the "western" People are having those heavy influences and left their genes in italy and spain - the REAL german tribes, meaning those, that were the "ancestors" of those regions, counties and tribes, that are the base of first modern prussia and then Germany, were from the (mid)eastern parts and very often more related to Slay tribes, than to those (northern) germanic tribes.
Since there have alwaye been times, when People from ukraine, Poland, Belarus and similar countries came to "Germany", they left their marks too, especially in the Ruhr-Region, where you still can find most People with names ending on -inski, -iak, -wski and so on.
the blondes of italy come from
- german & scandinavian colonisation after the fall of roma empire in 476
- france colonized italy for 300 years in total
- germany and italy were the same country for 500 years (holy german empire & loot of others kingdoms empire alliance)
- austria & italy were the same country for 200 years
- moor and north african have blond genes from the german tribe named vandals who mix with them...then they pass those genes to italian when they conquer south of italy
- spanish colonized italy for 200 years. they passed their blonde genes from the german tribe named wisigoth. who colonized spain before 😁
so here the complete origin of blonde blue eyes in italy
you can also write history italy wikipedia on google. you can have italy full complete history. and see that the world change soo much
That was the quickest 6 minutes ever spent on a youtube video. I enjoyed watching this it only felt like a minute long. You guys.. you can SEE your relation, you even have some similar mannerisms, your relationship with each other is ADORABLE. Sweet, sweet ladies. Great video.
+IMr LAPS that's so sweet, thank you!
Your grandma's right. There's a decent chance her father wasn't her biological father. She should have gotten more British than she did. But who knows? It happens. Even in royal families.
Europe West includes England.
I don't think it's that her father wasn't her biological father. Nor do I think that the test is unreliable. I think it's simply that what AncestryDNA calls 'Europe West" is a very common biological grouping within Britain, especially to the south of Britain. It's as English as being part of the "Great Britain" group.
You should also consider the possibility that she might have simply not inherited the British part of her father's DNA. We only inherit 50% of each of our parents' DNA, so there's a chance (a low one though) that she might not have inherited any (or very few) DNA segments that contain British genetic markers.
Sure. It points back to the fact that her father's DNA didn't have all that many markers in the "Great Britain" group to begin with. At best 51% of his own markers were in that group, and it's far more likely that it was less than 5%. Those 'Western European' markers are a perfectly respectable 'British' result. As are the Irish and Scandinavian markers. Much of Britain is more ethnically diverse in its genetic heritage than one might believe. :-)
"scandinavian" markers are NOT equal to the common "european" markers ....
A lot of people from the UK have West Europe
I suppose it only makes sense. Britons had to come from somewhere.
Norman invasion and all that
And that's why we (Dutch Saxons) turn out to be "British" in Ancestry... While it's them being Saxons!
Wars, the region is basically a extended version of the ménage à trois
Yep. My friend got one of these done assuming he was completely British since he looks "typically British" and it turned out he's mostly French/German, some Scandinavian, some Irish, some Iberian peninsula and only a negligible amount of British. It's really interesting.
Very nice presentation. You both are adorable:) I tell people a lot, "You never know until you get your DNA tested!" When they say, "I'm German, or French, or Native American." Lots of people from the US claim to be Native and then get their DNA results....lol
LOVE THOSE ACCENTS!!!!!!! ANYWAY, GREAT PRESENTATION.
L Brown the grandmother does not have much of a british accent, does she?
Joan Lynch agreed. Very light accent and different from the grand daughter.
@@joanlynch5271 you must be a yank
well, there is no such thing as pure race. We are all actually connected in broad sense.
Her dad's family could have come from France or even with the Anglo migrations.
The "British" would mean "Celtic British", like Welsh and Cornish, and not Anglo, Saxon or Norman, would it?
Rob749s
where do you think Celts come from? Britons were here before Celts.
Brythonic Brtions WERE Celts, from around 700BC until the Roman invasion,
Rob749s
There were people here for thousands of years before 'celts'. You're just trying to make a distinction between the English and the rest of Britain when there isn't any.
Btw Normans would be western Europe not British.
Actually, if you look closely at my original post, you'll see this symbol "?". This means a question is being asked.
There WAS a distinction between the two people groups, but they are now thoroughly blended. But differences could easily show up in genetic tests.
Rob749s
All western European genetically. This test can only give relatively recent data, meaning modern British.
It is funny as my father is italian (from Calabria) was fair hair blue eyes.
Love this video! I'm patiently awaiting my own results. My grandfather was adopted so I have no idea how my results will come out.
Your grandparents are so sweet! Loved watching them see their results and interact with you.
Most British have DNA from other parts of Europe. Even though your ancestry may go back generations in Britain, you have to realize that England was raided by so many other clans. Most Brits come from all over Europe, like Scandinavian (Vikings), Iberian, Italy (the Romans), and Western Europe (various barbarian clans).
Lynn Voyles yup invaded many times, even the roman take over influence
May be but england is a n isles and have been less mixed that other. Becarefull with results of dna which could be totally false.
Lynn Voyles The genetics of modern Britons is around 60-70% the same as it was 5000 years ago. Britain has been invaded many times, but the genetic impact of these invasion ha always been negligible. Culturally much has changed yes, but that is different.
scandinavian invasion arent negligible....
Bretagne jean The genetic impact of the invasion was negligible . Look it up.
The problem is that Americans are invincibly wedded to their category errors. You drive them through England and show them what English people are like, then Wales, then Scotland. They then come back at you with: so where are the British? Gasp splutter.
Similarly we get “Emma Watson sounds so British!” Like the rest of the Harry Potter cast sound Icelandic? For us, ‘British’ is an all-inclusive nationality which covers everyone, even “Black Britons”, but for them it’s Sloane Square with bowler hats and cream tea.
So Ancestry’s “British” category certainly doesn’t mean British, it means Anglo-Saxon. Which is why you can have a British Passport but be less than 1% British according to Ancestry.
It's less that Americans (or even just Ancestry.com) are wedded to their category errors and more that users are misinterpreting what these labels mean. Geography was a convenient label for where these genetic groupings are clustered but they have little to do with national identity or even historical roots over the last dozen generations.
These companies could probably have avoided these sorts of user misunderstandings if they'd invented some new category names entirely, but those would like have resulted in some other confusions.
Do you think Welsh or Cornish people are gentically more Celtic than Anglesh?
There's no such thing as a genetic Celt, Celts are an ethnolinguistic/cultural group of people. Welsh, Cornish, Irish and Scottish are all Celtic because of their language and culture not because of their genetics.
British-born Black people still have the accent. And yes, by "British" they meant people from the island of Great Britain, which is fairly homogeneous genetically. It's not like Scottish and Welsh people never make babies with English people.
Davies is right. The Celts were a civilization, not an ethnicity. Cristiolus, it's more the other way, they make 'British' mean an amalgam of English, Scottish, Welsh and Cornish. So a lot of English people who don't have Welsh, Scottish, etc, get results saying 'Western Europe' because it detects Danish and Dutch which is what the English are.
The one thing I learned from getting my DNA results is My Family had no Idea of Our true Bloodline and Roots, I had never Celebrated St. Patrick's Day, then I got my results and found out that I was almost 75% Irish - Scandinavian, I was totally caught off guard. I've never been a fan of the Irish, never wore Green on St. Patrick's Day, but with the results, I was left to face the Facts, I'm not French, Native American, or German, it's so crazy how wrong my Family was... I am 100% European...
CLCinflorida Erin go braugh!!
there is no such thing as IrishScandi, these companies have crassly banded two different groups into a Zen diagram for your amusement
Why do so many whi-te people claim to be Native American? 😂 I’m Native American, 56% of my genetics. I am brown skin, and look very native. But I’ve met dozens of whi-te people, with blue or light eyes and very Northern European features, who also claim to be part of our Native American people! This really angers me, since it was those same Northern Europeans who genocided 90% of our native people! But now they claim to be part of us!! 🤦♂️
54% Greek/Italian , not 54% italian!!!!
south italians and greek people have basically the same ethnicity
No, but some (non specialized) companies find it difficult to distinguish. They're both a 40-40 mix between Asia and Europe (20 percent African), but from very different parts of Asia and Europe. Greeks are part Asian because of the Turks, Italians are part Asian because of the Phoenicians and Israelites. Greeks are part "European" because of Slavs, Italians are part European because of Eurasians (western whites, R1b).
I'm pretty convinced that 54% is from Italy and not from Greece
@@r.v.b.4153 Normally the difference between Italians and Greek can be spotted quite easily in DNA research. Either this is a company with a low-end database for southern Europe, or this family's blood is so complexly mixed, that any Italo-Celtic and or Semitic hints are described as "Greek/Italian" for the purpose of being vague. I wish they would just use official terms and charts instead of these vague verbal nd ambiguous descriptions.
@@TheJenniferKK Greeks and Italians are Turkish. The language of the Italians is the ural Altay language group.
Your history teachers have never told you that you are a Christian Turk.
Napoli wasn't an italian city until to join "Roman Republic Union". The real name was "Neapoli" "New City" And it was a greek colony. I think your grandma hasn't Italian genes but more likely Greek.
suddyaft a Napoli non c’era nessuno la fondarono i greci con questo voglio dire che i primi “napoletani” furono greci, e poi ci siamo mescolati con gli italici visto che vivevano in Campania (gli Osci) e successivamente ci siamo mescolati con i popoli germanici scandinavi... di base siamo greci.
I spagnoli non ci hanno influenzato tanto geneticamente, quindi il napoletano medio ha 50% greco 30% italiano e il restante popoli del mediterraneo e nord Europa
Greek bloodlines are more dominant especially in the southern parts of Italy. And as far as i was aware female DNA ancestry comes from female bloodline and to obtain fathers side either the father or brothers require to do a DNA test ?!??
No, your DNA includes the chromosomes you get from both
Your talking about X DNA and Y DNA tests. Most DNA companies do what is called autosomal DNA testing which looks at all your chromosomes minus your sex chromosomes from both parents.
Italians are not all short with olive skin and black hair. I'm italian and most people I know are blonde and tall... depends on the region as well.
Imagine if her grandma ended up being 100 percent African, and she then pulled off her skin and revealed her dark skin.
So no one is mentioning the Greek part??? There was a great part if Italy settled by Greeks.
Funny you have Iberian genes... you really look like us :)
I love the video. There are blond blue eyes Italians not only in the North but also in the South.
What you have to remember that the genes you inherit from your parents are a random mix. So anything you and your grandparents inherited could come from wherever. You may actually have ancestry that may not even be expressed in your own genetic heritage that pops up in these tests. Have you, your parents or grandparents actually traced out your family tree? If so, you should go as far back as possible with it. Despite what the results say, if your Grandma's father and his family were born in Britain, then they're British. The birth certificates would prove that :) It's like a Pakistani family from, say, Brixton, having been in the UK for 4 or 5 generations. They'd be British, even though they're of Pakistani origins. The tests from places like Ancestry and such can be very informative, but they don't tell the whole story. You need to follow the paper trail as well. Just on that, you said in your Grandather's video that you were related to the family that owns Berkeley Castle. So am I :) Hi Cuz :)
Carl Tanner; I don't agree with some of what you said. DON'T try to tell me if some one is black, & born in Germany, that they are 'GERMAN'...lol
"Grandma's father and his family were born in Britain, then they're British"
Judy Malone genetically? No, Nationally? Yes.
There is a lot of blondes in northern Italy. Italians (Romans) crossed into Switzerland.
You are very handsome people. Your Grandmother is a doll!
I am from Naples.. you can tell your grandma that we are NOT blond and blue eyed :D beautiful video btw!
Maybe very few people, but rather an exception
There's Ciro Immobile who's pretty northern European looking. It's weird because I know some blond, fair-skinned Neapolitans with light eyes but also a few others who are very dark.
Actually, genetics shows that Southern Italians don't have as much North African blood as you would think. The dark complexion in some people comes mostly from ancient European populations that predate the arrival of the Indo Europeans to the peninsula.
www.sci-news.com/genetics/science-european-hunter-gatherers-01722.html
Light complexion didn't appear among Europeans until the late Neolithic at least, as it was caused by a change in their diet which became primarily cereal based. The reduction of melanin was an adaptation mechanism that allowed them to synthesize more vitamin d from the sun, as they weren't getting as much as they did when their diet was predominantly meat-based.
Besides, the area now covered by Turkey was inhabited by Indo European peoples such as the Hittites until relatively recently and they still account for most of the Turkish gene pool, despite their dominant culture (Ottoman) being originally from Central Asia. Also, with the exception of a few incursions into modern day Apuglia , the Turks never really established long-lasting settlements in Italy.
The study of population genetics is very interesting, indeed. Cheers, dude.
This made me laugh because I just received my Ancestry DNA results. I’m classified as Mexican-American and according to my results I have 10% Great Britain in me. I’m more British than your Grandma lol. I also had Iberian Peninsula in my dna, cousin!
The Ireland part can also be Scotish and Welsh. I have people in my family tree from England, but then digging into my family tree, most of those lines lived in Scotland around 1300 and moved to London and Yorkshire. Most of my European ancestry is at the colonial times though, and I found more German than I expected. I thought all of my European ancestors were mostly English until I worked my family tree.

Would your Cornish ancestors give you the Irish reading? Because the Cornish were celts?
+Rachael Bean Exactly what I was thinking. The 'Great Britain' category is probably more analogous with Anglo-Saxons and the 'Irish' to Celts/Bretons/Picts. I'd imagine the West European category also covers this ancestry since there would have been crossover between the Cornish and the Northern coast of modern France in areas like Brittany (literally named for the Breton people there) and Normandy whose genes probably then spread through the population of modern France.
Naples was a Greek colony (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naples) and part of what the Romans called the Magna Graecia (=Great Greece) area of coastal Southern Italy, its name (Napoli from the Greek words Nea(NEW) Poli(CITY)) reveals the city's origin immediately. Neapolitans, like the overwhelming majority of southern Italians are NOT blond with blue eyes; the fairest skinned amongst them are indistinguishable from Greeks, with the majority of them looking quite darker than Greeks due to the Arabian invasion and occupation of Southern Italy
Not sure about any of my DNA is. Believe I got Black Irish, Cherroke Indian, Black Foot Indian. We believe I could be related to Indian Queens & Kings I could have been a princess if my Mom side stayed in India, and to the Royal Family Prince Harry like my 12th cousin on my Mom side also. My Mom said we have dark hair, have the genetic of having black people hair and light skin. Not sure about anything because my grandma was left on a door step so she doesn't know much and my dad is dead.
An overall comment: autosomal testing (which this is) looks at only the latest 6-7 generations, say back to about births in 1750. Unlike y-chromosome or mitochondrial testing, which looks back into deep time, but only for a very few specific lines), this testing concentrates on all the lines back, but only in that small range. Since you are what your parent's make you (as far as genetics goes), not where you live or what you do, you are looking at what those 32 or 64 people where when they were alive, compared against averages for their local contemporaries. The state of the art 6 years ago for American customers was three groups: Europeans, Africans and Native Americans. Today its about 10-15 groups, things like Iberian or Scandinavian or Nigerian. In the future as more data is accumulated and more markers on the chromosomes prove significant, the number of groups will rise into sub-national groupings. Better "fixes" can be made on peoples who lived in a space statically, like most Africans in Africa, as opposed to trade route people, like, say, Cubans). There are other details available to you for technical research, but that's what people are talking about when they say, "I got my results!".
Consider: With y-chromosome or mtDNA, you are looking back into the past through a single chain of single people through far generations: for y-chromosome its your father's father's father's ... all the way back to the Y-chromosomal-Adam; for mtDNA, its your mother's mother's mother's ... back to mtDNA-Eve. What about your father's mother's mother's ... line? There's not a word in your own mtDNA or y-chromosome analysis. At the level of your great grandparents, only 2 of the 8 of them are represented, of their parents, only 2 of 16, and so on.
You get half of your dna from each parent but you don’t know how much. So, if your dad is half italian and half Irish, you may get a majority of his italian and just a bit of the Irish. Imagine all his dna as marbles poured into a jar. If you scoop half of them out, you won’t get even amounts of every heritage. That’s why no two siblings will match exactly. Science is a weird thing.
This lady is a bit confused. Naples is not known for blondes. Like Sicily, its in the South of Italy where olive complexions and dark hair are the rules. Not that you don't find occassional blondes in those areas, but they aren't common.
You are looking Greek and most propaly you are. South Italian DNA is Greek and particularly Naples. Check history books and you will figure it out.
Do not bother, everyone is either GreekItalian, German, Slav, Celtic or a mix of the above, cause these are the major families of Europe!
The grand daughter could be Southern Italian, Middle Eastern, or North African.
Just received my own results and I have gone back between 4 and 7 generations (all English born and bred apart from a set of 4xGGParents from Sweden) and found no French, German or Irish ancestors and yet I am 48% Europe West (!!) which is predominantly considered Franco/German however I have a fair few ancestors from Kent which would have seen a lot of French influence dating back to the Normans. I am also 29% Irish but as others have said on various sites that is a bit of poetic licence by Ancestry pandering I suspect to the USA as it really translates to Celtic (My ancestors from Yorkshire would fall into this Irish label). But I guess the biggest surprise was being just 7% GB when my family appear to be English through and through (well back to 1600s/1700s which is as far back as I can safely research without wild guesswork). Fascinating stuff. Sadly my grandparents are long passed away so no opportunity to do tests on them. Thanks for sharing your journey Lozzythesquirrel x
DNA testing is very inaccurate , do not be deluded. You need to realise that your tests are just compared to that one company's database. Watch 'twins get mystifying DNA ancestry test results'. What they sell you isn't supported by science. It is an interpretation at best, they are only comparing your DNA with those others who have previously sent in their DNA swabs. And in fact they only look at 1 % of the genome, yes 1 % !!! DNA tests do not differentiate between an ethnic Danish person who has lived in england for nearly 2000 years, they cant tell if that Danish blood is Jute Angle Dane Saxon Geat or Scottish mixed with Norse or a Danish person who came to the UK 200 years ago, watch 'Survive the Jive' on youtube
The blond and blue eyed Italians are from the north, near the border of Austria and Switzerland
You have your gran's nose, and most of her chin n.n
I can see the resemblance
Believe the results. I come from Greeks and Italians. Your grandmother may look out of place sitting next to you or your grandfather, but she wouldn't look out of place if I photoshopped her into one of my family photos.
To the young lady here: I didn't see your results on the screen. I did notice that one area you pictured was the continent of INDIA. What is your percentage of South Asian?
Ophera did the test on a white american guy and it came out as having African decent in his sample! Google it Folks, it was Hilarious!
You have such a different accent than your grandmother.
Greece in itself is diverse. There is a Big difference between Polish European and Greek European
They both look Italian to me they look like most Americans from the East coast USA where I'm from.
You too are so cute and have the same nose!
Most Italias depending on Area, Brown Eyed and Brown or Black hair.
You showed wrong flag at 1:34, that's an Irish flag. That orange should be red.
The Indian girl looks very Aesthetic
Yep.....You do look partly Indian.....From your grandfather's side! Cheers
I knew as I cliked on your video that you had lots of Italy because of the shape of your face.
23 and me got my results way way off.... like realy off.
Before I watch I'm guessing Italian/ Middle Eastern, Irish, Welch, Portuguese and a little French. My guess 🤔
Bueno la chica podria pasar por española y su abuela igualmente, aqui hay muchas personas asi mismo como ellas.
The most recognized portrait of Jesus Christ as we know it, was of an Italian male model Leonardo Da Vinci hired to pose. Da Vinci often searched for subjects to draw and paint. He painted those he found most attractive. In other words, not all Italians look alike. People of a region do not fit into one mold. Human beings are diverse in whatever nation or ethnicity they come from.
Southern Italians are Greeks.
Gurner Lane That’s Because Us Greeks Are Powerful💪🏼
No they are Italian.
@@newforce5699 they are ethnic Greeks but cultural Italians
@@lightyagami3492Your judgment is in error. While italy and greece share a strong history and connection together, and in fact many italians have a percentage of greek blood. On a purely genetic level, italians are not greek people. People are forgetting that every country on planet earth has its native people, even italy despite its diversity had native italian people who were not genetically greek, like the etruscan people. Even if greek people invaded italy and breed with the native italians they are no longer greek people. And italian dna has also been heavily influenced by many other native european peoples. From my experience it seems every greek person "imaginatively" believes they are italian. They are greek not italian.
Great job on these DNA videos! Very interesting and you have nice grandparents.
Yall so cute and grandmother adorable,I wish I knew my grandparents I seen pictures and heard great stories.
This is really interesting as its the first UK video I've seen. The reactions are so calm compared to others, despite the results being very unexpected. Of course, ships ran aground in Cornwall, survivors remaining and marrying, also, as you pointed out, they were on trading routes.
I'm sure now it's sunk in she's proud of her diverse past, and she's obviously a proud Briton! Well done her, the woman did good...
Señora sinceramente usted tiene en su cara facciones de ser del Mediterráneo (España, Italia, Grecia)
resabiosdelrio
¿Conoces toda España ?
¿ Has estado alguna vez en la cornisa Cantábrica?.
En esa región ( Galicia, Asturias, País Vasco, Cantabria, norte de Navarra ) la gente no suele ser del tipo "Mediterráneo "que arbitrariamente has atribuido a toda España, y que la chica del video no tiene.
Incluso en Andalucía hay mucha gente que no responde a tu descripción.
Me molesta la gente que repite estereotipos sólo para simular que conoce el tema del que se está hablando.
Y estoy absolutamente segura que nórdica no eres.
Diría, sin temor a equivocarme, que tienes genes amerindios.
@@LuisSanchez-vp9nq Yo soy gallega y creo que tiene razón. Tanto la chica como su abuela podrían pasar por españolas sin ningún problema.
@@Angie-zk4ei
Sinceramente, no creo que seas gallega, si lo fueses, no dirías eso. El tipo de la chica no tiene nada que ver con una gallega, asturiana, vasca, navarra, y si me apuras ni con el de una andaluza.
Te parece que tiene el tipo de Eva González, Paz Vega, Nieves Herrero, Amparo Muñoz?
Volviendo al norte te parece que tiene el tipo de la reina Letizia ??
La abuela si puede pasar por española, la chica no.
Si realmente fueses gallega, lo sabrías.

Your gran was upset. She mentioned that her dad may not be her dad. She should do the My Heritage DNA kit, as it has identified more groups. She may find that the European broken right down, and the Kernow/Devonish link to be stronger.
Maybe there's another explanation. I didn't pay much attention in biology but I know that sometimes a gene can pass a generation(or maybe two). This would explain why there is a lot more British in you.
My parents both dark hair. My father could be Italian and all his relatives are dark haired too. But my grandfather was blond and me and my sisters are blond as well.
I'm part Irish and have Iberian blood, too. My dad said that there was a story about someone from the Armada on the Irish side, but it's been lost. So that's where I think it's from. Some mystery sailor from Spain.
These things can be shocking. I'm looking at this grandma with her British accent and fair skin. I'm a Texan with skin darker than the daughter's and a Southern accent but I did the DNA test and I'm 66% English. Go figure.
I'm an American who is 78% British on the autosomal sides and I have dark hair and black eyes. One wonders where society gets their classic idea of a White person. aka Blonde haired- Blue eyed- Tall- light skinned.
Allie S If you're 22% African that explains?
Allie S: tall, fair, blonde, and blue eyed are indeed typical features of the "Nordic" racial type that exists all over western and eastern europe. It is a type that is thinning out in North America because of race mixing. Small amounts of foreign blood will eliminate those features and create a more "mestizo" appearance.
Some Guy That totally depends on the percentage of Nordic featured people vs the rest. Those features will not disappear by mixing an sich, only by not having enough kids if the rest has a lot more. Also, only immigration of other races, even southern Europeans, doesn't help.
Nordic people are only from Northern Europe (Scandanavia) And blue eyes come from the baltic region what the hell are you talking about? "Mixing" has gone on for so long, to get all those traits you mentioned people mixed. It's called gene flow and it's been going on forever.
Lovely Grandparents! Thanks for sharing.
Granddaughter ,you are real Greek....
Jeez girl you are beatiful =l
Questa ragazza è bellissima 😁 adoro le sue fossette ed il suo sorriso
1% Jewish is as unlikely as me finding out I'm 1% Paris catholic.
I find it more than suspicious that they keep asserting that DNA can tell what religion some of your ancestors were and yet jewish is the only one they quote.
judaism is an ethnoreligion dummy, theyre talking about ashkenazi jews. ashkenazi dna is a real thing which is why people of ashkenazi descent tend to have increased risk for certain conditions (inbreeding)
My friends family are Italian. Her Mother who's full Italian has a similar look to your nan. Blond with blue eyes.
Wow you guys are really diverse. I'm nearly full british
In your Grandad video you said something about not being photogenic. I just want to say that you are absolutely beautiful! Totally gorgeous and exotic.
Your Grandma is right, you are beautiful! 🍃🌷🌸🍃
your hair is soo beautiful:)
+Nicole Sands thank you! It's a bugger to maintain 🙈
I love that you and your grandma have the same nose. Also Spain and Portuguese could be from being in the Isles since they ended up migrating north and mixing with the celts.
Very cool DNA results ..almost jealous of your grandma's outcome .. basically ex-Roman world mish-mash DNA (Celtic Iberian + Celtic mainland + Greek + Italic and bit of cradle of life migrations). funny how these "thingies" still tickle our curiousity after so much time has passed.
The Ancestry location categories have recently been updated. Europe West is now with English and Scottish and Irish together. You can update your results to the most recent categories on the website.
Your grandma looks very greek!
Southern Italy populations descend from Italic peoples (Indo-Europeans with languages very close to the Celts) where Biondism was not rare, so not necessarily the Southern Italians blonde are descendants of the Normans and Longobards ... also the blondes are found throughout Italy, also in Calabria and Sicily among the natives ... maybe in the north the percentage is greater, but this does not mean that in the south they do not exist ..
What a lovely Gran you have. Great relationship you both have.
in italy where are blond people because of migration of Norman people x century
well after the fall oft rome Northern italy was taken by the germanic tribe of the lombards and if i recall correctly, there is also a lot of german decent in the Northern italian mining towns, since they hired tons of germans some centuries ago. i was always told that that's the reason for blonde blue eyed italians (would be interesting to know, what timeperiod/ ethnic composition the test refers to)
Maybe they were right.... WHAT? That my dad wasn't my dad.....WHY? because no matter how far back you go my dad comes from British..... Grandma may be onto something.
I love the relationship you have with your Grandparents. Enjoyed watching your video and I can't wait to my DNA tested.
why is your grandma so cute?
Iberian could have come from your Celtic ancestors. The celts have quite a bit of history there. They ended up in Ireland somewhat later. Celts got around, so to speak.
Despite my screen name I'm not Spanish. It is most likely my 4% Iberian DNA was introduced to a charming red headed ancestor of yesteryear.
Yep, there were also Celts in modern-day France. The Celts inhabited much of westernmost Europe.
Europe West could mean that one of her ancestors traveled to London at some point, for trading purposes most likely. But being so dominantly Italian/Greece it could well be that her ancestor was a child of a Roman soldier for example. It did happen that children made in other countries were taken to Italy where the family was.
For the blonde, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Denmark are known to have blondes included and blue eyes are also common. Which may be also a solution of what is going on there.
Even if your grandma's father was 100% 'British' his DNA would be very mixed, ie celtic, Anglo-Saxon, French and even Spanish. The fact that she was over 50% Italian/Iberian peninsula means she has that on both sides. Also, plenty of Italians are fair-haired.
Your grandma need not worry. She is likely Celtic, ethnically/ancestrally-the Celtic ties run from the Basque region of Spain/France up to Brittany. They've migrated to the British Isles for thousands of years; from Eastern England to Cornwell , across to Ireland up to Scotland. Yet, culturally, and as a subject of the crown, she is 100% British. So how is "British" being defined in this test, is the bigger question? she MAY not be 100% ethnically Anglo-Saxon-Jute, Dane Scandinavian, or Norm, but culturally her ancestors have been in the British Isles for centuries, they just don't include whatever Ancestrydna.com consider "British" -their companies very broad definition-considering the descendants of Welsh(Albion), Cornish,Celts, Jutes, Danes, Vikings (Scandinavian/Northsmen-North Russia & Finland), Anglo-Saxons Scots (Druids) and Norms are all Brits in modern unified Britain -aside from modern Ireland(Republic), which until almost 100 years ago was apart of the English crown..
You're so damn cute!
I took a My Heritage DNA test and I got English 53% Azores Islands Portugal 26.4 % Irish Scottish Welsh 8.9 % Scandinavian 7.6 % East European 4.1 %. I am 48 years old and just met my dad. James Manuel Rego.
Ah, when a UKIP voter finds out she's not really British... ;)
Grandma's kitchen is nicceee
I have heard of other people from Britain with similar results as your grandmother. It doesn't mean her Dad wasn't English. A lot of Brits have iberian peninsula, scandinavian and western europe.
