Conor you are ...
So I am really excited about this prospect of finding out more about my family history
if it turns out that I'm just 50/50 Irish British those
are my nationalities that this is gonna be the most boring
DNA test family history video on YouTube of all time I am optimistic that
we're gonna have something a little bit more exciting do have one
great-grandfather who is mysterious in his origins maybe he was from somewhere
in Central Europe somewhere like Germany or maybe even from further east like
here in Odessa on the shores of the Black Sea also the west coast of Ireland
where I was born had a lot of trade at one stage with Spain and Portugal further to
the south and my mother in fact tans a lot easier than someone like me I have
that infamous white Irish Celtic skin for sure my mother does tan a lot
easier and maybe have some origins from around there let's see let's find out
and also of course Spain and Portugal were at one stage ruled by the Moors who have
come from further east and south like North Africa and the Middle East maybe
maybe there's something from that region as well but I have no idea there's no
evidence in any family tree of anything else but let's go and find out I'm super
excited about it and let's go and find out what actually what happened when
they analyzed my DNA.
So I just got word that the DNA test actually arrived here in Odessa as I'm
about to pick them up really excited I'm gonna do that swabbing stuff and then
send it back to myheritage.com and then gonna find out exactly what my origins are
You don't have to give any blood.
Now the only thing to do is to go to the post office and then in 4 to 6 weeks I'm going to
find out my results
So yeah I just sent off my DNA sample to MyHeritage so I'm super excited to see what
it comes back with I've gotta wait a little while for the results of course
it's gotta leave here in Odessa, Ukraine and go all the way over to the US to be
analyzed and then I get my results back in a short while I'm super pumped
I think now we need a drumroll welcome back I actually am still in Odessa even
though it's supposed to take four to six weeks we've had an amazing Indian summer
here in the south of Ukraine so I've actually never left I got the email last
night from MyHeritage it was a little bit quicker than I expected so now I'm
really super super excited and this is gonna be there's gonna be interesting
basically I have in front of me the question are you ready to explore your
ethnicity I'm about to hit the let's go button fingers crossed so I'm just gonna
hit it now and then find out what my ethnicity is and where my ancestors are probably from
Conor you are ...
oh well first one is definitely not a surprise
okay it's also not a surprise
No ....
I did say that it was possible I'd say it was
possible yeah I think my Arabic friends are gonna be very very interested to see
to say the least so what can I say I gotta read more into it I'm 98.8%
European well with my skin colour and my complexion and the way I look that's
obviously not a big surprise well and 8.8% English which is obviously the
neighboring country which is obviously not that dramatic and part of my family
obviously lived, came from other parts United Kingdom so but the big surprise
is at one point two percent Middle Eastern means I have an ancestry from
somewhere in you know Middle East is a big place either Syria, Lebanon, Israel
Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen
Iran, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey are given so that's a huge
geographical area but I have one ancestor probably since it's 1.2
percent of my DNA that came from there yeah if you were interested as well
doing something similar of course and got a link below in the description to
MyHeritage go and check it out there free shipping if you use my discount code there
Tsar Experience so go and check it out I mean it was something I was always
curious about for myself and I'm kind of yeah ...
I'm still curious!
