i feel bad for mizu on another level because i took one of those dna ancestry tests and i guess i was expecting to be at least 95% african since i'm black? and then my pie chart had 15% scotland and wales and that's well... not black. and i learned that the slave trade went through those areas too and i guess along the way shit happened and well. i have white dna as a result.
so finding out your family history involves another race's dna due to slavery or colonization is not fun for sure. and it leaves you with a lot of questions.
you want to know what happened. was is love? most likely not. let's be honest it was most likely due to rape. but seeing the pie chart left me thinking about it a lot.
it made me sad.
my mom's dna is 24% european. she's super light skinned. i remember growing up and people questioning me if she was my real mom. because i'm darker.
i wish i never swabbed myself to find out that's for sure. i stopped digging into my family dna charts.
mizu has 4 possibilities of knowing which white man is their dna person. i have no fucking idea to even begin to look to why i have white people in my family line.
i get the well, duh, slavery. it's not a helpful answer that's for sure!
anyways don't get those ancestry tests if you don't wanna ask those questions! i fucked up. don't listen to the holiday commercials!!!

Hackers Selling Stolen Customer DNA Data From 23AndMe, Company Faces Class Action Lawsuit
Oct. 9, 2023
Biotech company 23andMe Inc. allegedly failed to protect the genetic information of thousands of people that was exposed in a data breach announced Oct. 6, a proposed federal class action said.
Monica Santana and Paula Kleynburd alleged that 23andMe, a provider of genetic testing services, maintained their personal information in a reckless manner and failed to use reasonable and adequate measures to keep their data safe.
Information exposed in the breach included names, sex, date of birth, genetic ancestry results, profile photos, and geographical location, according to a complaint filed Monday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California.
Some of the information has appeared for sale online, including that of prominent figures such as Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Sergey Brin, according to a press account cited in the lawsuit.
The company also failed to provide prompt and adequate notice of the incident, the complaint said. 23andMe didn’t respond immediately to a Bloomberg Law request for comment.

See 🤷🏽♀️. Willingly giving up your DNA to a genetic testing company that's a test done for entertainment purposes for what? Didn't this happen before or was that GedMatch. It doesn't mention it in this article, but the one I read about a week ago stated that the 23andMe hackers were going after data for those showing results for Ashkenazi and Chinese descent. The timing is rather...interesting.
I was waiting for this shit to hit the fan. 23andMe was tryna be subtle about the whole thing. "When asked about the post, the company initially denied that the information was legitimate, calling it a 'misleading claim.'"
Whole time:
Now the shit going to the highest bidders. Chile.

This whole ‘Ancestry’ journey is a T R I P. I’ve found a cousin, and found out my grandfather was not a good man, during a very crucial time in our country’s history.
What do I do with all of this information?!

Want to know what is frustrating about genealogy, well at least the DNA part?
Not knowing the connection. Can not figure out the connection for a variety of reasons.
Adoption. Finding out the person you call Grandpa isn't your Grandpa. People just not knowing their own family history. None of this is their faults of course.
But when I, who lives in Canada has a DNA connection to 62 people who live in New Zealand and Australia, and none of us can figure out how we are related.
Until just the other day. One beautiful woman sent in her DNA and guess what? She has done her family tree. Her and the other 61 people all connect through my 4x great grandfather.
Almost all of his descendants went to Australia and New Zealand, while one line came to Canada.
6 years. 6 years of trying to figure it out. Then one person sends in the DNA and BAM...all the pieces fall into place.

Taking a DNA test is a monumental decision — breaking open unknowns that may have been forgotten about with your family but it can also solve intriguing mysteries. With my current commission, I have gotten permission to analyze this customer’s DNA matches in hopes to discover more. Documents give vital information such as names, dates, locations, occupations, etc. yet sometimes they are not reliable or just do not exist. By viewing matches, connections can be made using DNA relations that can lead to more discoveries about your family! In some cases where the paper-trail has run out, genetics are the sole resource that allow genealogists to continue the search.
If you want more information about DNA analysis, family research, or any question in general please feel free to contact me via email, instagram, or Etsy!

The Neanderthal genome also helps us understand more of what they looked like, as there is evidence that some Neanderthals evolved pale skin and red hair long before Homo sapiens. The many genes that are shared between Neanderthals and modern humans are linked to anything from the ability to taste bitter foods to the capacity to speak.
We have also increased our knowledge of human health. For instance, some Neanderthal DNA that might have been beneficial to humans tens of thousands of years ago now seems to cause issues when combined with a modern western lifestyle.
There are links to alcoholism, obesity, allergies, blood clotting, and depression.

The West African in me is attributed to Iberian ancestors in the traditions of both my parents' families.
