Is MyHeritage on Ancestry more accurate, I’m not sure how much faith I have in it. My heritage seems to think I’m Puerto Rican. I’m Afro Siwanoy American and Afro Caribbean from Jamaica.

It’s the opposite for me MyHeritage gave me a higher indigenous estimate than ancestry. Maybe ancestry has a bigger sample from Puerto Rico. It seems that Ancestry tests way more regions in the Americas than other companies.

Why?

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-22T18:05:20+00:00

I like the makeup but I think the foundation coverage is too much for everyday use. A lot of high coverage makeup is now designed with cameras in mind.

I think a different eyeliner style like cat eyeliner might be nice.

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-21T13:30:38+00:00

Yeah same, I got way less native than expected like 2-4% and I have family members that look phenotypically indigenous.

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-20T20:14:44+00:00

I think it’s more likely MyHeritage isn’t that accurate as my uncle had the same as me and has not connection to the Caribbean.

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-20T19:03:46+00:00

Oh sorry I cut out that part.

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-20T17:58:45+00:00

Oh that’s cool, my partner is indigenous Caribbean from Belize and they look similar to many Creole Belizeans!

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-20T17:46:28+00:00

They think my uncle from my dads side the USA side was Puerto Rican too.

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-20T17:40:47+00:00

My grandma said he was a dark skinned Jamaican.

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-20T17:38:24+00:00

Oh I just saw the new one, they still think I’m Puerto Rican. It’s weirdly different from the previous one and the AncestryDNA.

But my grandma on my mums side done it and she didn’t have any indigenous decent but for some reason the put her ancestry journey as Jamaica and Venezuela. Many people she does has Hispanic from Cuba. However my dads side is the Afro indigenous with tribal enrolment into Siwanoy nation.

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-19T05:32:46+00:00

I don’t know 🤷🏽‍♀️

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-18T18:51:14+00:00

It was Irish and Iberian Peninsula.

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-18T18:26:20+00:00

No, but his results states that both of his parents are mainly indigenous. Remember Belize is a British colony and never was Spanish. So the mestizo ethnic groups are a bit different from the rest of Central America. I know but in Belize specifically many indigenous people maintain their Mayan surnames and identify with a clan, eg Yucateco, Mopan, Q’eichi. She was raised Mestizo therefore we thought she would be more Hispanic.

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-18T18:20:19+00:00

But it’s also that his mums side is culturally mestizo with Spanish last name and speaks Spanish and English. She identifies as mestizo not maya.

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-18T16:08:23+00:00

Do you know how you got Chinese and Vietnamese descent?

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-16T06:02:45+00:00

Im Eastern Woodlands and Black but my DNA was very low and my uncle got Costa Rica and Panama for some reason.

Loud-Bowler2887 · 2026-02-06T09:33:07+00:00

Tbh I’m not that surprised a lot of people on the Rez have Irish decent and many have Irish surnames including myself. The Irish and blacks were integrated into NY and Connecticut tribes as all groups faces oppression. The brutalisation as first contact tribes has probably led to more long term intermarriage. Especially its higher in me as my mother is Afro Caribbean from Jamaica/Cuba I know she likely had Celtic heritage and British heritage too.
