Episode 71: 23andMe DNA Test Results!
I’ve never known my genetic background with any real certainty, so why not utilize all the awesome tech tools at my disposal to get some answers?
I signed up for the 23andMe ancestry DNA test, and found the entire process FASCINATING! This isn’t a sponsored video, I just chose 23andMe because they seemed to have simple, straightforward, legitimate process. In this video, I walk you through the steps to send off your DNA sample as well as show some of the information you get in the results.
I didn’t even have time to go into the haplogroups, which it turns out, is completely mind-blowing!

This might be tangentially tech-related, but I thought it was a super fun thing to share with you guys and might be helpful to anyone who's been curious about how these tests work!
So on one hand he doesnt know what he is on the other hes not shocked about british and croatian.
I knew you had a thing for Asians! Dang, I was hoping you had some deep ancestors from Africa or something. ? I’ve been meaning to do this, but pretty certain I’m all “jungle Asian.”
6:13 – We did say Candian? Wow, yikes.
Hey Tom I've seen this a couple times now on YouTube. So this is about $80 a person to have tested is that what I'm hearing? It's a little expensive but I think worth it. Do you have a link were to order the kit? I would like to know who I am. ?
I really want to do this!
New channel friend, thumbs up with a bell.
Your video was creative. really humorous stuff! You are quite European 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Stop by and show us some love!
Thanks!
Mike
I have tested some companies and the most complete in ancestry to me is 24Genetics https://24genetics.ru/ with more than 400 regions. You can do it also from 23andme raw data
I would’ve thought you were British
that fluid was just to contaminate your sample.
Thanks for share guys, I have tested several companies and the most complete in ancestry to me is 24Genetics https://24genetics.fr/ with more than 400 world regions, is similar to Living DNA but much more complete
Dude we have the same paternal haplogroup and very similar maternal haplogroup I’ve got J1c1a
Tom, you are sitting near a drum set if that helps! Jim
European Tom Buck signing off ??
Hey White Guy great video my friend looking forward to seeing what you actually are! ?? Ok very cool I am Scottish and Irish and i am sure more of Europe as well!☘☘☘☘
I knew you were Croatian.
I’ve been wanting to do this but I’m terrified of being cloned ?
I've been wanting to do this for so long. This was such a good idea.
We've lagged putting our video together, they've been sitting in our kitchen (not specimen lol) since Mark bought it for Black Friday last year… haha. We did get the predisposed diseases version!
That's pretty cool! Great collab, you two are both awesome!
AncestryDNA is the one Madison and I did!!
I cant wait to hear yours!
Who are you Tom? Who are you? ? THANKS FOR THIS AWESOME COLLAB!! Love my white guy ??
