  • The Inuit and Finnish DNA is probably through Ainu. So a single Ainu ancestor 7-8 generations back sounds pretty realistic...
  • Finns <-> Russian -- go look up "Ingrian Finns". Possibly in your family's past someone was remembered as coming from Russia but was ethnically Finnish. Finland also borders Russia. Finland also dealt with forced deportations into Russia in the past. Ppl also constantly confuse Nationality and Ethnicity.
  • @8bitvapor
    Inuit Finnish makes allot of sense based on the fishing routes in the Arctic back in the day. Inuit came over from Mongolia Siberia area 10,000 years ago.

    OMG your mom is a total sweetheart🥰 and looking at those pics, she was a cutie even back then. Big Hugs to you and your whole family!!!
  • @ianramos8503
    I hope you have a follow up with mom’s test I love seeing these kinds of videos
  • @rednight2476
    Finns are part of the Arctic people groups, like Siberians, Sami, and Inuit. The Finns western neighbors are the Germanic Scandinavians.
  • @Sasharra
    That older pic at the end of your mom that she was embarrassed by was so cute!!!!
  • @Chachixo
    Ooh we got a Reina's mom cameo? Blessed! She's so cute!! She looks like New Jeans Hyein in her throwback photo - soooo pretty!
  • @MxPotato84
    Your mom is adorably funny! I was smiling and giggling while reading the subtitles of what she was saying. Both of you are cute when you talk to each other. ❤
  • @BananahLlamah
    This was such a cute, fun video 🥹 your chats with your Mum and with Mike were so comfy and nice to listen to
  • @SuviTuuliAllan
    I'm not surprised by the Finnish bit. You somehow look a bit like my aunt. 😂 I'm Finnish, btw. DNA tests often show a tiny bit East Asian or Arctic or even Amerindian for Finns. It's complicated. No, I'm no viking. No, Finland technically isn't in Scandinavia. Look up Uralic peoples. Finns were called China Swedes in the US back in the day. Yeah, an old German map even shows Finland as yellow for mongoloid. Anyways, AMA.
  • @leslielamour85
    Totally off topic, but you nonchalantly picking the lint off Mike’s shirt when he’s on camera is maybe the cutest thing I’ve seen 😅
  • I really understood your mother when she talked about wondering if she was adopted. I felt the same way for much of my life, finally met a cousin that looked enough like me that I felt that I belonged in my family.
  • @sassimouse9891
    that part with your mother was the most wholesome thing i watched in a very long time ❤ and i could listen to you for hours 😊!!!!
  • @Miku_miku_chan
    Your mom was so fun to listen to! Would love if you make a video of her results as well!
  • @thisaintyourname
    I appreciate Reinas "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" quote (You sound like your from london!)
  • @KendallM0219
    I never realized you were so into languages. I wish you shared a bit of your learning techniques and how many languages you know. That would be so interesting to hear about ☺️. Also if possible can you give us an update in your mom’s results? Thank you
  • @veebee2405
    You are so sweet with your mom and hubby! It warmed my heart to see all that love! 🥰
