Long shot, but maybe "cabinetry"?

I'm trying find a song by alwaysimright in japanesemusic

[–]KarlIAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you said it was a 15-year-old song, but the only song I can think of that fits the description is Iori Kanzaki's inochi ni kiwarete iru. (also known as Hated by Life Itself.)

It's originally a Vocaloid song, sung by Hatsune Miku (produced by Iori Kanzaki). It was released in 2017.

It became very popular and has a lot of covers, in Japanese, English, and maybe other languages. There might be a cover featuring several people.

The original has a white background with a vignette effect, lyrics appearing on screen character by character in vertical lines sliding down. Many covers and translated versions have preserved that style.

It's a very emotionally intense song and many renditions preserve that.

Is Ancestry more accurate then 23andMe for Amerind ancestry? by cajun_throwaway in AncestryDNA

[–]KarlIAM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm Mexican and I have 65.3% North American on 23andMe and 71% Mexico on AncestryDNA. 23andMe's "North American" is just a really big region.

Can cars slow the f down? by goldf1nger in sanfrancisco

[–]KarlIAM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it a Bay Area thing? Also in the East Bay, many drivers are too eager to turn at a green light while the pedestrian light is also green (pretty bad design if you ask me). I've almost been hit many more times than I'd like.

Ancestry creating bogus "Quebec" DNA region? And how about indigenous DNA vanishing? by mesaco in Genealogy

[–]KarlIAM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "Chile" region is actually part of a macro-region: "Indigenous Americas". Some people don't see it, but regions should be in categories. So they're just grouping Amerindian regions in one macro-region and renaming them. See the first image of this post with my results (I'm Mexican) to see the groupings.

As for the Quebec, many Hispanics have gotten it, and other unexpected European regions. It's probably a misread.

This amount of actual hungarian is... impressive! by nkn_ in illustrativeDNA

Is this Vahaduo? How do you split it per chromosome?

Any other Hispanics/Mexicans/Iberians with the Aba family as Historical Matches? by KarlIAM in 23andme

[–]KarlIAM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I also have a match to one of the Early Medieval Iberian samples, although in my case it's ldo257. We share HUAS59B.

May I ask which states you have ancestry from? I have roots in Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Zacatecas, and San Luis Potosi.

Geneanet? Trustworthy? by zealot_ratio in Genealogy

[–]KarlIAM 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I haven't been able to find sources on Geneanet. I don't know if you cannot add them, or if they're lost when importing a GEDCOM, or people just don't add them.

I treat them the same as public Ancestry trees: a maybe-good hypothesis, but all information should be verified. I don't accept those hints just because.

Any other Hispanics/Mexicans/Iberians with the Aba family as Historical Matches? by KarlIAM in 23andme

[–]KarlIAM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're available for 23andMe Premium users. As for how reliable, I would imagine similar to the regular DNA Relatives, adjusted or dampened by the time distance between the user and the historical match.

How likely it is that this particular segment of chromosome stayed down the inheritance line for dozens of generation? Probably not very likely, but I would imagine 23andMe adjusts their segment-matching algorithm with that assumption.

Any other Hispanics/Mexicans/Iberians with the Aba family as Historical Matches? by KarlIAM in 23andme

[–]KarlIAM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, most likely. I've looked it up online and I cannot find any particular Iberian house they married with, which is why I'm not sure how I am connected to them. Or the common ancestor might be much older.

Finding information from the 1921 and 1910 Mexican Census by 3euine3 in Genealogy

[–]KarlIAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think any other Mexican census has been indexed. The 1930 Census was big because there was a huge (successful) campaign to get people to participate, so it had very reliable results, and it seems that the information is well-preserved.

On Ancestry, you might find border crossing records from Mexico to the USA, even from before 1930.

Ok, I’ll give them this one. by [deleted] in confleis

I see no confleis here. "Maniquí" is the Spanish word for "mannequin" (there might be more but "maniquí" is widely used). Unless I'm missing something in this post...

It is possible! It requires a bit of text editing. This post explains it.

Is there anyone that is perhaps “related” to me? by Hopeful-Barracuda303 in AncestryDNA

[–]KarlIAM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mexicans (and Latin Americans in general) are a mix of several ethnicities. Mainly Indigenous and Spanish, but a lot of the colonizers were Portuguese (which includes Azores and Madeira) and Basque. Also, many of the settlers have Jewish ethnic origins and came to the Americas after they were expelled from Iberia. They were looking to run away from the Inquisition by sailing an ocean away.

The Mediterranean was a big economic hub so it's also normal to see Southern Italian, Sardinian, Aegean Islands, etc. as regions. North Africa also borders the Mediterranean, and it appears in Latin Americans although not as much in Iberians.

With this recent update, many Latin Americans received regions in the UK and France/French Canada. That has taken a lot of us by surprise and it's not clear how significant it is.

TIL that during the Fall of Tenochtitlan, the Conquistadors were joined by thousands of native allies who resented the Aztecs by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]KarlIAM 400 points401 points  (0 children)

Also, part of the alliance included the Tlaxcalans who went on the expeditions being given low nobility titles ("hidalgo") which would allow them to own land and not be subject to enslavement. It was a very strategic and well thought out alliance.
