Drew Barrymore's Ancestry Results

[Grace O'Malley]

They went on about the Rebel county as to her Munster GC but her results aren't even from there as her GC is North Kerry and West Limerick. Anyway what was not mentioned was the 6% Northern India. Where did that come from? That would be interesting to trace. Could it be some Roma ancestry? Just realised a lot of missing from this as there is only 78% shown so not really helpful.

Screen shot so not great but the video is below. (Re the video there's not much substance in it to be honest they could have done it in much more detail).

If not clear her results are
Ireland 34% (Main GC Munster Ireland - North Kerry and West Limerick)
Eastern Europe and Russia 19% (Main GC Slovakia and Hungary - South Poland, Slovakia & North Hungary, Central Hungary and Central Slovakia, Western Slovakia and Central Hungary)
The Balkans 19%
Northern India 6%

What is the missing 20%?

[Grace O'Malley]

Looking at the highlighted areas the rest would be England and Northwestern Europe. Scandinavia, Scotland, Wales and France rounding up the 12%.

Frustrating because I was trying to change this and it is 22% unaccounted for but Forum wouldn't behave. :) Also it looks like she has more South Asian with the highlighted regions than 6%. Pity they didn't go through the full results.

Could it be some Roma ancestry?

Its hard to believe that to be honest but if anything, i would suspect of her Hungarian side.

No looking at this in more depth her father's side was in India and also it doesn't look like the results a Roma would get. It looks definitely like it is from her father's side. Why didn't they discuss that?

Probably a gypsy ancestor but this is ancestry dna, so requires some caution.


Besides all i could hear was

I think it is from her father's side. From Celebrity Ethnicity


John had English and Irish ancestry (some of his family were English people who were born and lived in India). Drew’s great-grandfather Maurice was the son of William Edward Blythe, who was born in Calcutta, India, and was a surveyor for the British East India Company; and of Charlotte Matilda Chamberlayne/Chamberlain, who was born in West Bengal, India. Drew’s great-grandmother Georgianna was the daughter of actors John Drew (born Jonathan Henry Drewland, in Dublin, Ireland) and Louisa Lane Drew (born Louisa Lane, in London, England).

I think that is where the Indian results are coming from.

Its interesting that East India Company Brits mixed with Indians.

Yes it wasn't that uncommon. There is a whole community called Anglo-Indians that have mixed European and Indian ancestry and they are nearly always Catholic and have western names. My closest friend since I was a child is from that background.

Billy Connolly also has some Indian ancestry. There's most probably a lot that we don't know about.

It looks like the American showbizz is mostly Irish, Jewish and Latino dominated.

Here Indian born ancestor doesn't look to have any Indian but it came from somewhere. :)

This in interesting to read.

It appears logical that is where here South Asian results are coming from. It would be interesting if this was elaborated more on.

Her Mother was a Magyar Ildikó Jaid Makó.

Cousin of Mortimer.

Lol at "white Americans are super white".

[Luke35]

I think her Hungarian side is being represented by Eastern Europe & Russia 19% + The Balkans 19%. Then probably the remaining 12% is split between Baltics and Scandinavia (you can see these two highlighted in her map). It's not unusual for Hungarians to score a little of both Baltic and Sweden & Denmark, on that platform.

I agree with Grace, the Indian ancestry is probably from her father's side. But Drew could of inherited strongly from that/those Indian ancestors -- her father may not of had double the South Asian admixture that Drew has.

Harrison Ford is half Irish and and half Jewish. xD

My mom has 3% Sweden and Denmark for example.

6% North India

too much to be noise

is she part gypo ?

Men like sex and companionship where ever they go.

I'd be more interested if they took an IQ test. Both of them are very annoying. I wanted to headbutt Drew Barrymore and head kick the guy.

[JerryS.]

Harrison Ford is 1/4 Jewish, not half.

Dew Barrymore's 6% would be one of her great grandparents at half Indian.

I find it amusing that so many women are adopting the same annoying voices than gays lately. This particular pitch and intonations are believed evolutionnary to be a display of submission akin to what some wolves went through when they started to get domesticated by humans dropping their ears in front of us to appear less threatening. They ended up as pet dogs.

I always saw it as gays trying to mimic women. Many gays appear to be an exaggerated version of women.

Yeah totally, it just runs in circles with women now talking like their own caricature.

what's a decent IQ according to you?

[Östsvensk]

Harrison Ford is 1/4 Jewish, not half.

Dew Barrymore's 6% would be one of her great grandparents at half Indian.


Harrison’s mother, Dorothy or “Dora,” was an Ashkenazi Jew, born in Brooklyn. Her parents, Anna Lifschutz and Harry Nidelman, were immigrants from Minsk, Belarus.

“My mother was Russian Jew,” Ford told GQ Magazine.

“As a man I’ve always felt Irish, as an actor I’ve always felt Jewish,” Ford famously said in an interview on Inside the Actors Studio in 2000.

6% North India

Looking at the map it's more than that. I think it is at least 9%. She has 3 other regions in that area besides North India so if they are all 1% as well as the 6% North India that is 9% but it could be more if those areas are higher than 1%. It's annoying all the results weren't given. I would say it isn't Roma but Indian from her Irish/British side as she had family there were born, married and lived in India in the 1800s.

It is 22% that isn't shown. I initially put 12% but changed it.

[Luke35]

I just meant the theoretical remaining part of her Hungarian ancestry, after the EE + Balkans. So I was speculating on that particular missing 12%.

And I totally agree with your thread sentiments, very annoying that they did not show her whole report and weird to not even mention the South Asian admix.

Yes that makes sense. It is really annoying that the full breakdown wasn't given.

[Nurzat]

10% South Asian - that's a lot, cannot be noise, it's recent ancestry. probably directly Indian, as if it were Gypsy it would have gotten also some Middle Eastern, because Gypsies arrived in Europe carrying more Middle Eastern than Indian, through mixing in the Persian and Ottoman empires

[Incal]

Even when some here like to put these tests on a pedestal to me they still have many flaws. That 6% North India could be anything.
