DNA results of an Afrikaner Boer

I did my DNA test through "Family Tree DNA". My Y-DNA Haplogroup is R1b (M-173) and my mtDNA Haplogroup H. Your DNA does not define you for who you are as a person. Your upbringing, your culture and your faith define`s a person. BUT your DNA tells you where your genes came from. It is a nice to know... Was I surprised with my results??? Not really, but there were small surprises...
I am a 10th generation Afrikaner and my family farm this southern tip of Africa for the last 340 years... My 6th great grandfather Pieter Swart was farming in the Overberg region almost 80 years before the first Xhosa tribe under chief Rarabe invaded and crossed the Fish river into the Cape colony, almost a 1000 km to our east. The first Xhosa border war started shortly thereafter.
Haters of the Afrikaner Boer people always tagged the Boers as a bunch of mixed people, well DNA results show that we are indeed mixed. Mixed in a European gene pool... it looks that in some cases the Boer people are more European than Europeans!!! Incredible by knowing that most of our forefathers came to Southern Africa between 1652 - 1800. Prof Heese calculated that by 1800 there where a bit more German blood flowing in the Afrikaner, followed closely by Dutch and lesser extend French and a little bit of Scandinavian. By 1820 the British settlers arrived and added some Scottish and Irish blood into the Afrikaner population.
Resultados de ADN de un Bóer Afrikaner. Ahora en español!!!! es necesario que los hispano hablantes sepan el origen de Sudafrica ya que lamentablemente las organizaciones mundiales han prohibido que la verdad llegue a las escuelas y libros dejando solo un verso y mentira en la historia.

When slavery was abolished they were set free ,and that is how their journey began ,different tribes means tribal wars that was the 1700's ,ours started in 1752 when Jan Van Riebeeck build a trading station where ships could stop to get refreshments on their way to the silk and spice countries. You see we were already here when the black people arrived here no one stole land .

    @@tokkieandrews9988 Bear in mind that the Hottentots were Nomadic people and the Bushmen were hunters and gatherers. That doesn't exactly yield high food production required to sustain larger populations. There were *some* people at *some* places in the Cape, but that's it. Landownership was unknown and essentially ad usum principles were applied. But try to get a sober approach to the pre-history of the RSA, you are gonna struggle. Post-Modernism destroys historiography like anything else. No appreciation of sources, no logic, no weighted probability. It's a shame and a sign that cultural production has ceased its value over time. JvR had the trading station build in 1652.

    Interessant. No big surprises. At times I thought that the persistance of the Boers implied that they were from a small group. For instance in Zeeland or on Urk I think there are large families with common traits often as a result of centuries of battling with water , fishing and so on A very hard life, many children lost. But from your description de Boers are much like anyone from NW Europe. So my superficial image was wrong ... But thank you. Luck plays a big role in life. 1. Are you healthy? 2. Did you have loving parents? 3. Were you born in a stable country? 4. Are you reasonably intelligent? 5. Did you get sufficient education? It also helps to be good looking..but clearly mostly not all criteria are fulfilled But we humans struggled and make the best if it, certainly by helping one and another.

    I was send over the link by an ZA friend since history interests me. None of that in school about these things. Very interesting. If you speak English you have the same pronounciation that most Flemish or Dutch people have who have not been influenced by US tv shows or movies. I am from Belgium and there are a lot of 'Afrikaanse woorde' that are being used that I know from certain dialects here or that I learned from my grandparents. You even use sayings in Afrikaans that are old Flemish but are still being used. Actually here the dialect changes every like 30km so I hear things or sayings that I know come from the coastal areas or some cities. You are very lucky to have a stamboom that is complete and even have these old pictures. I hope you have digitalized them for future generations. If you would be here in this country your looks and way of talking would fit right in. You could be my neighbor. As for the DNA from Southern Europe you have to dive deeper in the history of Europe. There has been a lot of travel and movement in the last 2000 years. The Romans, Germans and French were here in the Flanders over a couple of hunderds of years. Also the last name is not something that obvious. If you did this KZread in Afrikaans I would have no issue understanding it. Afrikaans is that close to Flemish or Dutch after you have heard it for a while and you get used to different way some words are used. The tenses is something that might have changed in those 300 some years. I've never looked that one up. All in all top video, enjoyed it a lot!

    But it’s incorrect to trace them without a defence material because we don’t know who was here on earth and which part of the earth before. If people agree that all blacks are from one ancestor then why would DNA would differ then. That means we are all lying with this theories . Europe uses to have black kings so how do we know if some of the whites talk about the blood line of the blacks who originate in Europe

    Hi Kykso. Interesting to hear your history story. I even learned something from it. Never knew that the European Boer settlers were there even before the indigenous tribes (or was it only the one tribe you mentioned that came 80 years after the Boers?). The DNA results are always interesting for everyone I think. I always thought to be real 'Hollands' with some German / French blood. I'm from Holland descendants proven since 1650. But the DNA test results also showed 26% English, 14% Scandinavian and even 1% Middle East/Arabian. Same as in your story no clue how that came in my pedigree. By the way, your English was very good to understand. 👍 Baie groeten uit Nederland en blyf interessante vlogs maak. Hans.

    My 2c: I reckon my heritage in this country is mostly Afrikaner Boer as is my half-brother's. His DNA is 98% European (Barnard/Slabber) while I am only 89%(Conradie/Slabber). We both have documented slave ancestry, mainly Asian (at least 2 well-known manumitted slaves). Most of our documented European and Asian ancestors have also been here since Jan van Riebeeck's time. So we have been here for a while. But my point is that not all Boers' DNA is going to look like yours. And that is OK.

Perhaps if things had been different, I would have become a forefather of future South Africans.

    Thank you for sharing your heritage with us. You must be very proud of the six generations who forged a new community in a very far away place. They seem like very strong upstanding people. Now my one question is that of course your lineage is “Pure” European, as I’m sure they were strong, social strictures in place regarding marriage and procreation, etc. and yet we know that many illegitimate children are born, often from mothers of a different race, but they’re never acknowledged as the father’s child, would not get his last name, etc. as he is “illegitimate.” So I’m assuming there are a fair number of mulatto children who over the generations, became lighter skinned, or darker skinned, and that you represent a group of people who did not mix, but there were many who did, or who did, but never took responsibility for the child. Would this be correct?

    You are completely right, the Cape coloured people absorbed the the cases you mentioned. Also the left over of the Khoi people after the Small pocks epedemic was assimilated in the Cape Coloured comunity. The DNA of the Cape Coloured consist mainly out of different groups like Khoi, European, Bantu, Indian and Malasian. the last group was former slaves. In the Cape there where never that amount of slaves like in the "New world" because it was a bit of wine farming but the rest was sheep, horse and cattle farming for which you do not need much labour. A big part of slaves from India and Malaisia was people that was convicted into slavery by Dutch colonial authority for certain crimes or behavior. The European part of the Cape Coloured mainly originated from seafearing countries. Many ships stopped over at the Cape for rest and repairs on the way to the East. The DNA of the Cape coloured show this as well as their European decent mailnly from Britian and a lesser part from the Netherlands. But French and German origin almost none...( The Afrikaner people had by 1800 more German blood than Dutch, followed by French.) Here are DNA results from Cape Coloured person : 24.92 % Westren European , 24,91 Southern Asia, 12.83% South East Asia, 8,13% Khoisan, 10.31% Bantu, 2,7% Arabia, 2,34% Middle Eastern. DNA researh on this group results on paternal side looks like this for Cape Coloured: Haplo group E (Africa) 27%, Haplo group R (Europe) 23% , Haplo Group FG (Arabia/Iran) 13% . Haplo group O (East Asian) 13% , Haplo group J (North African) 6%, Haplo Groups T and H (South Asia, India and Pakistan) 8% , Haplo Group A and B (Khoisan) 6% . Hope it give a better understanding..

    This is actually part of SA history that gets glanced over a lot. @kykso pretty much covered the Cape Coloured grouping but before VoC started using the Cape as sort of Malay penal colony you had the first free burghers starting what would become the first of the mixed race groupings. These were young men out of the poor communities out of Europe whose 10 year contracts with the VoC ran out and did not want to go back to Europe or sign up again with the VoC. So they started the first independent farms around the Cape Colony which in those days was only the size what is now central Cape Town. This was before the immigration of families to the Cape Colony so they took wives from local Khoi tribes or took slave woman as common law wives and raise the children as their legitimate children and from them you various unique mixed race groupings who were the first to move out of the Cape because they disliked the VoC and their policies 100 years before the Voortrekkers started the Great Trek alater collectively became known as Trekboers. Later on a lot of the mixed groupings would unite as the Basters later known as the Griqau and establish their own independent states between the then British Cape Colony and Boer State.

    Actually the San hunter gatherers was the first people. When the Khoi arrived with there flocks of sheep they where in conflict with the San, when the Bantu arrived in Natal around 1600 there where conflict between all three groups. In 1647 with the first Europeans settlement in Cape Town (Nieuw Haarlems shipwreck) the conflict also with the San. The San and Khoi where squeezed between Bantu expantion from the east and European Trekboers from the west. Today there are no San nor Khoi left in the South. Only mixed decendats as proofed by DNA. The Nama is the closest Khoi group to the South.

    There are a few fundamental limitations with current DNA tests that should be kept in mind. Your full DNA is not sequenced unless you pay specifically for it, and thus certain markers (partial sequences) are used. This means that entire hereditary relations can be missed (for example, you could miss a forefather from a different continent). However, even if you sequence your full DNA, then there is the much more important limitation of reference human genomes. If you are 80% Irish, it is because the people (of the small fraction globally) whose DNA had been sequenced previously, had claimed to be ethnically Irish. Thus you are compared to a subjective reference. I am saying this as an Afrikaner with 1 or 2% South Asian ancestry and the rest mostly British/Northern European, but even that is not really reliable. There is yet another problem, even if you narrow down reference genomes, which is that when you are associated with where on earth is also partially subjective-we are almost certain to have all lived in Africa around 50 thousand years ago. Not to mention Neanderthal or Denisovan genes that we know for a fact are part of our genomes. Then there are the examples of identical twins who both have used these "consumer" tests and gotten significantly different results.

    Smit is a Dutch name from origin. Coetzee could either be French (Gaucher) or South Netherlands (Cudsee) Kellerman is German (Kellermann) Vorster is Dutch in origin (dukedom Brabant), and was actually based up on a job between 500 AD up to 1500 AD. This was basically a judicial officer. Kühn is German in origin Jacobs is Dutch in origin. Funny to hear you actually speak it in the Dutch way as well, so South Afrikaans still kept that I see. Botha is a very interesting name actually, I think I can't do this justice on my own so i'll use the wikipedia entry if you don't mind (in Dutch): "Botha of Both of Bode is een achternaam die voorkomt in het Nederlands taalgebied, en afkomstig is uit de regio Friesland en Noord-Duitsland. De naam is afkomstig van het Germaans Butha en Proto-Indo-Europees duta, dat "boodschapper" betekent." South African Wiki says this: "Botha is 'n familienaam wat algemeen onder Afrikaners in Suid-Afrika en in die Nederlandse taalgebied voorkom. Die van kom oorspronklik van die omgewings van Friesland en Noord-Duitsland. Dit is afgelei van die Germaanse Butha en Proto-Indo-Europese duta, wat "boodskapper" beteken." What this means, Botha (or variations of it) is a VERY old name and has a lot of history to it. Retief name might be French in origin, but I'm not sure about that. Malan is from Farao islands, so it has a Danish background as well as English. Boshoff is Dutch and (north-west) German in origin, but most of this family actually lives today in South Africa. Klerk is Dutch in origin van der Merwe is Dutch in origin. If you see a name with things like "de" "van der" and such in front of it, you can pretty much always trace it back to the Netherlands.

    Hi, well you could use different dna companies to do it. Costs around R3000 per test. If you google DNA tests for South Africa you will find different companies to choose from. I hope it help. Will be nice if you do it and share your results. Great weekend for you.

    No unfortunately not. The Maritz family made their mark in South Afrika. Trekker leader Gert Maritz and then Boer genl Manie Maritz and his son also Manie was wrestling champion many years ago...

    @@kykso thanks. I looked up Family Tree, see they are overseas and heard you say you had yours done while in Europe. Can't think you can send your DNA swab across the world(?) Or can you? It is something I'd love to do. Although I think I will come back as 100% Boring British 😅
