I didn’t think Team Blue could be any sweeter, but hearing them talk about how genuinely thrilled they were for the other teams was so heartwarming. Did their brother Daniel say that he used to live in their destination? And also that he used to live with their mom? Hmmm….

I’m familiar with Nashville and I’m over here hollering “Don’t take Rosa Parks! It’s too long!... You’re on Charlotte! YOU’RE RIGHT THERE!!!” 🤣🤣🤣

[oliviagreen]

I completely understand needing to vent when frustrated. And the double frustration when others don't know how to deal with your emotions, so they shut you down😭
I'm very happy for everyone in the show, but my heart just really goes out to those sweet boys, Joseph and Anthony💯 I truly wish them all the best in life, they deserve it☺💜

The young men on team blue are just so sweet. I hope they are in the final day.

[cefcat]

Good luck Team Blue, for you.. and them.

I appreciate you trying to connect to what so many have had to experience learning about and meeting siblings as an adult, me included. It's hard to explain lol but an overwhelming abundance of emotions!! 🥰💜

I like the way you say “It really does help me out”. I hate phrases like “smash that like button!”, but you are speaking from your heart. I am interested in genealogy and only just stumbled across your channel recently and happily subscribed. I feel it every time on DNA videos when you say “have they done the genealogy?” For logistical reasons I haven’t done DNA yet, but the stories I have uncovered doing traditional genealogy have been nothing less than amazing.

The amount good suggestions you make has me thinking you should be on the production team lol

I had never heard of this show until this reaction series you did, after watching them all I binged the entire show and I rewatch it regularly.

I grew up knowing I had an older sister and a father I had never met, I never knew why or where they were. Eventually I met them when I was around 12 and we stayed in touch for a few decades but were never very close and I’m no longer in contact with either of them.

This show hits so hard because I remember that feeling of knowing you have family out there and wanting to find them, and it still makes me cry watching people meet their parents or siblings for the first time.

[Chaotic_Pixie]

UGH! The two parts always kills me LoL

Also, if you're the passenger, you don't get to piss off the driver. Team Black's mistake was that she didn't pull over and just tell him to drive. It would have saved them a lot of bickering at stop signs.

[AngelavengerL]

I love how you were wearing blue while cheering for the blue team.

Enjoyed the video! Please can you add ADVChina's DNA test video to the list? They have done a more in-depth and unique approach on a dna-test video with some background knowledge.

Can't help but notice the show spelled Omaha Ohama once

[saraschneider]

You really found thousands of cousins that not only respond to your message, but want to connect? I have yet to find one.

Currently, 23andme will only provide raw data on my DNA results and there are no health reports for Poland. Should I use gedmatch or 24getecist to process these results?

I don't dislike the show but it is not perfect. And not just take away the competition element so everybody gets to meet family (I would watch that show)

But the producers of the show kind of reigns in whose and what stories are told, not surprising but its limited to at least christianity (and maybe a specific type) in an obvious way, but I am interested in more stories. They also dont go far back in the history, probably related too the producers again, dont want to talk to much of this ancestor that got to the US with the clearly Jewish last name (just one example)

Oh also not sure if those are available in the US or even subtitled but your opinions on the two series "Allt för Norge/Allt för Sverige" (I checked aparently they are "The Great Norway/Swedish adventure" in the US but cant find info when and how they where broadcast)
