My ITALIAN Husband Take a DNA Test! He's NOT ITALIAN? shocking

About a year and a half ago, I did the best prank on Alessio, my Italian husband. I faked a DNA test to tell him that he wasn't actually Italian, but in fact, 54% French!! It's probably my favorite prank of all time. Of course we had to find out our official results, so here you go! Here are the official DNA results of The Pasinis! Will Alessio still have some French DNA in there? Watch to find out!

As for Napoleon...wait until Alessio finds out Napoleon was a descendant of ITALIAN nobles! He may have been born in Corsica, but his paternal ancestors were TUSCAN nobles, while his maternal ancestors were GENOESE! As others have mentioned, I'm pretty sure the French part of Alessio's DNA has to do with the Celts who once lived in Friuli. French ancestry doesn't have to mean the French ethnicity but rather that he has ancestry from peoples who lived in what's now France.

As for Jessi's, I'm pretty sure she's Melungeon since she's from Tennessee and the Melungeon people are mostly found in the Appalachia part of Tennessee where she said her family is from. Melungeons are people with mixed European/Sub-Saharan African/Native American and this all checks out with Jessi. The term Melungeon likely comes from the French word mélange ultimately derived from the Latin verb miscēre (to mix)

She looked British the moment I saw her for the first time. 😅
She has the most typical British-Irish face ever. Not surprised at all.

I think Alessio's French-German side is more likely Austrian. Friuli-Venezia Giulia is all the way in Northeast Italy, bordering Austria and Slovenia. Based on geography, it is most likely that his ancestors were Italian and Austrian, as Northern Italy has constantly redrawn its borders, hence the different ethnic groups had to adopt a new ethnic identity. For example, South-Tyrol (Alto-Adige) is really an Austrian territory that Italy ceded. Ticino, the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, is very likely composed of Italians with a lot of German-speaking Swiss ancestry. Lombardy, the region where Italy's economic hub Milan is found, was named after the Lombards, who were a Germanic tribe. That whole northern area of Italy was inhabited by Germanic people after the fall of the Roman Empire, in fact, the Ostrogoths and Vandals reached pretty south too. So I believe Italians would have some Germanic DNA in there.

Ha so funny! Maybe you two should start a French Cooking channel.. lol

You're right about the variance of ethnicity percentages within families. My sister and I have the same biological parents but the % shown of each ethnicity in our DNA tests are very different. We both have the same ethnicities but to different degrees. We both look different from eachother too.

“Are you sure that’s not the cat’s dna?” 😂😂😂

Napoleone Buonaparte was an Italian from Corsica ethnically speaking.

Ancestry does update periodically as more and more people submit, they get more accurate. Also, they do explain that a lot of the things people are surprised by (like being French over Italian) is directly related to historical migration of the population to where there was food or work). I loved both of your reactions 😂

[erinoneill]

So interesting! When my parents did theirs, my mom was 98% Irish. My father was a smorgasbord Polish Irish Russian Eastern European English and Alsatian. If you still have your grandparents talk to them and ask questions you'll learn so much!

[songsinschool]

We are in France. Home of Alessio!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[kristinmaguireDeadhead]

It's the databases that are refined, it's not that a person's DNA changes

[alisonbufarale]

The way he said “Frrench” killed me! 💀🤣🤣🤣

[-EchoesIntoEternity-]

Alessio to try british food, oh boy will that be interesting 😂

I did 23andMe for mine and my results listed the specific parts of a country I can trace the largest chunks of my ancestry to. I am over 40 percent Spanish/Portuguese, specifically from the Canary Islands as my great grandma lived in the Canary Islands before she moved to Cuba. And my Portuguese ancestry lists the Azores. I am over 20 percent British and Irish which is from my dad's side with County Cork and Kerry in Ireland as my likeliest match as well as Lancashire and West Yorkshire in the UK. I am 19.8 percent Eastern European also because of my dad with my ancestry pointing to the Polish-Slovak border (it also included Czech Republic as a likely match).

I am 3.3 percent Native American (Taíno; which I knew already because I'm Cuban), I am 2.3 percent Western Asian/North African (which I was once asked by an Arab brain doctor I went to if I was an Arab and was confused but now it makes sense knowing Spain's history) which includes the most shocking...1.1 percent CYPRIOT (which was updated two years ago and has stayed since). Caught me off-guard because I don't know where that came from, but Cyprus is one of the most go

This is hilarious to watch! 🤣😂 But I love these dns tests and love that people can find what their backgrounds are and most of us are mixed with different ethnicities. I’m Puerto Rican but when I did this test it was a mix of a WHOLE lot! More than the Spanish, African, Indian I thought I was. 😂

[maurac]

OMG! A genealogical researcher told my Italian uncle that we had a lieutenant from Napoleon's army in our ancestry. So, a French Lieutenant back in the early 1800s married an Italian woman, perhaps in the northern area of Italy. I'll have to ask my cousins if they have the original report. Thanks for sharing your results! DNA is a fascinating thing.

[Ameslan]

If going to Scotland with Jessi wearing a flowing Scottish dress then Alessio needs be prepared to be seen wearing a Scottish KILT!! Laugh out loud!

[phoenix]

Alessio... 25% French. Accept it brother. You are French by blood. You should cheer for your French brothers on the next World Cup when Italy fails to qualify for the 3rd time.

[adriamasero]

I'm from Barcelona and I really don't get why there are so many Spaniards, Italians and Germans who mock or even hate France. The Napoleonic era is far gone and chauvinism is not only a french thing

[MuslimTemplar]

I think that as the technology improves, it is able to get more precise in narrowing down your ancestry more accurately. So you should check again in a few years to see how the results have changed.
