Yes the Jutes, from Jutland in Denmark, were the Danish tribe that arrived in Kent and integrated there. Frisians were a group of people closely associated with the Angles. Old English is very closely related to Frisian and the two languages can be understood by each other. However, apparently English grammar and sentence structure is the sane as Norwegian.

I encourage you to react to the DNA results of the mixed race community in South Africa. They are called “Coloureds”. This is not an offensive term in the South African context. South African Coloureds are the worlds most genetically diverse community in the world. I am one of them. I am 19% Germanic European, 16% Bantu, 16% Southern Indian, 15% English, 11% Khoisan, 6% Irish, 4%Danish&Swedish, 3% Baltics, and 3% Scottish and there’s more but in around 2 and 1%. So yeah very diverse.

Sure. Don't bet the farm on that one. Whether you call them 'American Indians", "Indigenous Americans" or whatever, they are as a group notoriously shy of supplying DNA samples for studies of this kind. Many so called "Natives" have a lot, or even a majority of European ancestry if they were willing to submit DNA for analysis. Therefore, it is pretty difficult to get a base line to work off of.

I'm in regular contact with my African American cousins, especially my closest matches. My Senegalese and Gambian family (on my father's side, paternal descendants of our patriarch) hold an annual family reunion - alternating between the two countries. Last year it was held in Senegal, and later this year my Gambian family are playing host. It will be the first time I get to meet some of my African American cousins as some of them are coming over for the annual reunion. We are so looking forward to physically meeting them for the first time. We've been facetiming and WhatsApping for the past few months but never physically met. It is sad that my late paternal uncle, who has been documenting and preserving our family history and genealogy for over 60 years prior to his death, would not see it. He passed on the responsibility to me for documenting and preserving our family heritage 30 years ago (a big responsibility). There are 4000+ people in our family tree. I'm testing my elderly relatives one at a time to try and bring my family together no matter where they are in the world. One of my African American matches, in particular, has a special place in my heart. She is an elderly African American lady, and her dna is managed by her grand-niece. She was so happy to find an African match and the tribe of one of her enslaved ancestors as she thought she would never before she dies. She is in her 80s, and we are so looking forward to meeting her later this year. I want to buy test kits for when my elders are coming to visit or when I'm going on holidays. That's how I tested my mom and dad. When they came to visit, I ordered kits for them from Ancestry.

Oh, cool, nice to see Lady Decade here. Didn't realise she had done a DNA test. And yes, if retro/vintage gaming is your thing, then you will love her channel.

Nice to see someone doing some research on why her results are what they are.

Her results video is coming up in my recommended feed. LOL. Good on her for doing her research.

I'm impressed how well informed she is about the history of Britain and Ireland plus Sri Lanka and South India. Many people who test don't really know anything of "the old country" - especially US Americans.

For some of us - like myself, a child of a deceased adoptee who didn't DNA test - merely getting a blurry idea of ancestry via DNA test results is as good as it gets (& I'm grateful for it). In this video she got a Greek & Southern Italian result (sounds like a MyHeritageDNA label). I too got that result from MyHeritageDNA; however, AncestryDNA labeled it as North Africa, & FamilyTreeDNA labeled it as Italy & also Spain with Sephardic Jewish, while CRI Genetics also pointed out Italian & Spanish. Now, I've since learned that there's many hundreds - if not thousands - of years of shared history among these areas (plus each label usually includes countries around the country or ethnicity labeled). There was much trade, agricultural exchange, invasions & occupations among these various Mediterraneans (sp?) so likewise there's a lot of shared genes making pinpoint guesstimations rather difficult. I too got Sri Lakan Tamil - but only on my Recent Ancestry Analysis results from CRI Genetics (no other company guessed this one, & it didn't show up again on my CRI Genetics Advanced Ancestry Analysis - although Gujarati, Punjabi, & Bengali did). What else I found interesting from the CRI Genetics Advanced Ancestry Analysis results was Chinese Dai, Southern Han Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Columbian, Puerto Rican Taino, Peruvian, & of the Luhya in Kenya (again, along with the possibility of other countries/tribes/peoples nearby in most cases). I already knew or suspected quite a bit about other various European ethnicities from my now late, non-adopted parent who also didn't DNA test (nor did her now late sister; &, my sister won't DNA test either; but, a maternal-side 1st cousin & her daughter have tested, which has helped me some). Now I didn't know about the Greek, but I should have had a clue as a few of the gals on my mom's side were named Helen & my mom was named Diane (I missed those clues until after getting the AncestryDNA test results 🤪). Per FamilyTreeDNA's full mtDNA analysis, my mom's haplogroup is H6a1a2b (supposedly H is common, but this particular H is a bit rare). I'm now awaiting confirmation of my dad's haplogroup (a non-professional genealogist told me it was R-BY4114, but she got too busy with other things & quit working on genealogy after handing me some sparse paperwork without my name attached to any of it, so once I got a computer of my own I retested the FamilyTreeDNA Big-Y test on my own so that I'll get the results directly & not have to wonder if my results were mixed up with someone else's results - which has happened to me multiple times: once with a physical therapist who gave me wrong exercises 😬... such is my luck sometimes 🙄). I should know by early next month if not sooner. Every little bit of information helps; however, as I learn more about history I'm realizing that there's no way I'm going to know for sure the timelines or places in which each ethnic line entered my family tree; for, even with such a wide array of races & ethnicities, there were multiple periods of interaction around the globe between many of them (& not just in one spot for each possible admix either).

Sometimes these admixture results are all someone can identify, but if someone has done DNA testing then there is always the possibility of uncovering that mystery. Something I would suggest to anyone in a similar case to yours is to look into finding a Search Angel - someone who volunteers to help adoptees and descendants of adoptees to identify their biological family. I used to volunteer with SearchAngels.org and I've solved adoptee cases where it was a grandchild testing, so you might be able to identify your biological family even if your parent who was an adoptee didn't test.

I'm an American and did my DNA with Ancestry in 2012. At first it was Ireland and "Broadly Western European". Over the years it updated and changed "British Islands" and then to what I expscted, 100% Irish. About a year or so later 10% Scotland popped up. (My paternal grandparents were from Northern Ireland so it wasn't a surprise.) Over the last few years a few %'s just switch back and forth between Ireland and Scotland; Currently it's 90% and 10%. So, just keep in mind that it updates and changes a bit here and there every year.

The very low percentages

Yeah I have greek southern italian only on My Heritage - but I know I should have all British Isles from research so I hope that is ananomally they will figure that out in the next update. Overall I think this was one of the better DNA Etnicity videos from the original presenter perspective, as always Jarret your insight on these are always educational one of the reasons I call you the KZread King of DNA

I have received my V2 MyHeritage DNA results. The new results look extremely accurate. Like the person in the video, the old results showed a high amount of Scottish, Irish, and Welsh, but with no English. Now, the English percentage is high with a strong amount of Scottish and Welsh nearly finishing off my total. This matches my genealogy.

DNA tests are fun. I know that I'm 3/4 Irish and British and I thought the ohter 1/4 was German but I found out that I'm not 1/4 German but 1/4 Jewish. It's all good and my Dad just kind of failed to mention that he was adopted by his German American Dad and that his actual dad was Jewish. He did come clean and told me all about it....

Interesting video. She was great and yes, she does look like Marina Sirtis

You were talking about Living DNA being more nuanced my mother's maternal grandmother's father was born in Flintshire and her mother was born in Brecon, with her mother born in Monmouthshire, so Living DNA had 5.7% South Wales Border; 3.4% North Wales; 2.1 South Wales; which I thought was pretty spot on, It says Great Britain and Ireland 95.8%, which then breaks down, It also has 2% Europe South (Tuscany) and 2% Europe (North and West) Scandinavia. Everything makes sense, except the only thing I do not see in here, which I may expect to see is French/German because my mom's maternal grandfather was French. 23 & me has me for French and German.7.6%.

When I did my DNA I was not expecting too many surprises. I expected a large percentage of English/Scottish and the rest split between French and Swedish. This is from what I knew about both my Dad and mom's side. I had a large percentage of British Isles(67%) and Swedish/Danish(22%) but no French. The rest were some Dutch(10%) and Polish/Ukrainian(2%). As I went down the family tree, well into the 1600s I could not find where the Ukrainian or Swedish were. Other close family members who did the same test did not have either or a small amount of mostly Swedish. I need to take a different test to see what that comes up with.

I've seen this before, and, way to bury the lead.

The russians were there the british were there the french were there, americans were there, etc. (Genghis Kahn was there....)

My mom's side is English and Welsh with some Irish and Scottish ancestors when you go back 4 generations. MyHeritage gave me 0 English 😱 I havent received the new update though, so maybe my English will pop up finally.

I knew it! Irish for sure.

Finally I found the channel who is expert on this genealogy things. Can you or someone please help me understand if my DNA matches are valid? I noticed that the names of the matches are not ethnically similar to mine; they seem to come from different parts of the world, based on their surnames. I did an ancestry test because I was curious about why our family has different features and even skin color. I did my test at MyHeritage but was confused by the results when I uploaded them to GEDmatch. The percentages of ethnicity were a bit different compared to the results I got from MyHeritage, and it was more diverse. We only know our lineage history up to our 2nd great-grandparents where there is no mixed but maybe intermarried from our close neighbors countries which is ethnically almost the same group with me.

@ProfessionalGenealogistReacts

Most DNA matches are valid, but there is a possibility to have false matches, although false matches mostly happen with matches that have small amounts of shared DNA. Maybe 35cM (~.5%) or less, but even then it is still rare (except in cases of endogamy). Each website will give you a different ethnicity admixture for a variety of reasons, but each site is only giving an estimate, so basing the validity of DNA matches off ethnicity is not a good technique. When you have matches who have a seemingly completely different ancestry than you, it usually means one of two things; either you come from an ancestry you do not know about it or they may come from an ancestry they don't know about. If you have known cousins who have also tested, see if any are matching these mystery matches, because if they are then that will tell you which side it comes from.

Correction to the info in the video. the Vikings who invaded England were mostly Danish and their DNA is indistinguishable from that of the Anglo Saxons. The Norwegian Vikings invaded Scotland and came down the Western coast and into Ireland, the Isle of Man and North Wales. They were the founders of Dublin. My results. England & Northwestern Europe 67% Sweden & Denmark 16% Scotland 9% Wales 7% Norway 1% Yet my family tree, with shared matches so I know there was no adultery, going back on all lines to ggg grandparents (late 1700s) and some lines back to Tudor times are ALL born in England. I'm thinking the Scandinavian is multiple centuries of inbreeding in Norfolk/Lincolnshire (Viking) and West Berkshire (Anglo Saxon), where they always married a girl from the next village. God knows where the Welsh and Scots comes from, perhaps the original Britons from the same populations.

It may be generalized, but it is a commonly used technique in genetic genealogy because it actually is helpful. This is also why I always say "assuming that it is coming from one recent ancestor", often with follow-up statements expanding on how it is much more complex than that.

These are fun but mean little. Not all the markers drop the same. In addition the models are based on what people said they were - so if the base line is wrong - so are the results. She looks about as British as the Mayor of London.

The Andean thing could indeed be that there was someone who went back into Britain from North America. Native American DNA is not exactly thoroughly mapped for several reasons. I myself knew that I had ancestry from the Americas, but family lore and indeed location of the family was more Southeastern United States, but what shows in my DNA is Mexico and South America. And as a history buff, I am aware of Amerindians actually settling in Europe and/or being shipped there as slaves or servants. And there is even a line of spanish nobility from the house of Moctezuma.

Sounds like MyHeritage. I had no English in my MyHeritage results, on Ancestry I had a a little more than a third and my father had more than 80%. I did have their Irish, Scottish, Welsh mix though. The updated MH results removed by Balkan (my Slavic is actually Czech), Scandinavian and Irish all together and just made me Germanic and English. I'm a bit disappointed with their update.

I you are of Asian, Indigenous ancestry do not bother with LivingDNA. It is pretty much geared towards people of European ancestry. The new MyHeritage update is a Disaster for people of Full or Part Asian, Indigenous American, African, East European ancestry. MH regressed/reverted to the old, "Congratulations, you are 100% East Asian, Native, Russian etc" of the early 2000s. It is really really bad for Eurasians and Afro-Euros from the results I have seen on Reddit. Quora. A Senegalese/Norwegian became 90% Nigerian and a Korean/Irish became 70% CHINESE! the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas are now ALL 100% Native American! It is though Better and much more Accurate for North, Western Europeans

She just look yt regular

I like a smart lady. 😍

These are money grifters .They are a con 😂

the irish and british celts, the gall, originated and migrated from central europe where the first celts appeared, especially the hallstätter celts are one of the celtic tribe that left traces. the celts settled in a region whats known to be the southern part of germany today and spread from there between ireland, britain, central europe and up to cetral anatolia in turkiye. celts are part of germanic tribe. celts are mentioned in the bible as well.

None of this is true nor considered serious in current academia. The "Hallstatt = Celts" formula has been refuted by the current President of the International Congress for Celtic Studies, Dr. Patrick Sims-Williams, in his pivotal paper "An alternative to Celtic from the East and Celtic from the West".

Rabling!!

Tere really isn't any such thing as "English" ethnicity.

If you think about it, especially coming from the 1800s on an even early 1800s a lot of people from Scotland and Ireland immigrated to England because that’s where the wealth was when the English came and eviscerated Scotland, Ireland and Wales for their wealth in many plate cases people had to come to England for industrial jobs or apprenticeships or to serve the military or various other kinds of professions and then they stayed, and then they became culturally English, losing whatever connection they had other parts of The British Isles So there may be a genetic predisposition and identity to other parts of the British Isles, but there is no culture or even memory or family stories of where they’re from On top of that who are the English? Yes, there are people of England who can trace their DNA to Scandinavia, which would be Denmark where the Netherlands are located even Sweden in the Norway that is being occupied right now and many of them live in East Anglia or Yorkshire, but many of the English were the descendents of Celtic people that were there in Romano Britton times or times before these people didn’t disappear genetically they just simply were absorbed by the dominant German language Culture that took over in the 500s and beyond and again they have no memory of any kind of Celtic culture that would’ve been in southern Britain Go back far enough and we’re all mixed I read an obscure journal at one time where they talked about some places in southern Scotland, where occasionally people are born with very dark skin and blue eyes and they’re wondering, are they from South Asia or some other parts of the world they hit the genetic lottery and re-created enough genetics to express what were the gather people prior to the lighter skin people that develops in what is now Britain

I’m looking at her face, especially her nose and other features of her face that look more like the Celtic people that have been living in the British Isles for thousands of years based on drawings and carving a relief that I’ve seen from archaeologist and even more recent things like Lynne Types

Just as an aside, there are places in southern Scotland that have pockets of Roman DNA, or DNA that the Roman's brought with them. Various explanations for it.

Her attributing those ~2% greek/southern italian to romon ancestry makes no sense right?

@jonahwhale9047

She probably meant "Roman Empire" rather than actual Roman but 2% DNA would be about 5 or 6 generations ago or 100 to 200 years ago.

There must be some deeper DNA overlap, because this guy (professional genealogist) looks like a lot of Irish people.

She's annoying.

These ancestry things are a con 😂.Like having your fortune read or tarot cards 😂

LivingDNA is crap for Irish as it just gives you 100% Ireland no GCs or anything like that.

That's because they're all interrelated. Cousins doing a lot more than just kissing, etc. Have you spoken to Dr Tyrone Bowles at IrishOrigenes? It's his specialist area. He also uses names to help define it.

Are you sitting in the garage? Not professional.bad shirt too!

I don’t think she looks ethnically ambiguous lol

her intro is too long, 12min... should be shorter

May I make a request? Instead of using a term like "ethnically", ( *granted you are quoting someone* ) why not use a less loaded term? Instead of "ethnically ambiguous woman" (which itself is a hot button phrase if you just take off the first word), perhaps try _complex ancestry_ , or _complex DNA ancestors_ , or something similar. This may seem extra pedantic of me, but words do matter and "ethnicity" is too often used as an euphemism for those who don't want to use the word "race" but want to keep the same idea.

This was the original title of the video being commented on. If he changed it, people would not be able to find it as easily. Also, be more respectful of European culture and its focus on race and ethnicity.
