Oh yeah did mine on ancestry a few years ago. Mostly Irish, and Maori, then Scottish, Chinese, Norway. The surprise was that I was higher in Irish than Scottish when both families made me believe otherwise. also the percentage of Maori was alot higher than I was made to believe as a kid, I thought it was like 6 or 12 but it's a full 1/4 of my DNA, and considering both my mother's parents were white. it kinda made some people in the fam uncomfortable when I was asking questions.

I love your reactions to your DNA results. I'm from USA. I'm African American. I, like you, have Scotland, Wales, and Norway. 🤯 Apparently, I inherited Wales from my father and Scotland from my mother. Well, now with the updated Ethnicity Estimate: both parents have Scotland and Wales. Wales I got 2% from each parent. My mother holds the lead in Scotland with 3% and now Dad has 1%. Mom is the only parent giving me Norway...so far🤔 I'm fascinated with learning more about these places. I understand that by history of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and USA participation in such business, most African Americans have European DNA. I'm blown away at how much more precise the ethnicity estimates have become over time. In 2012, my European ethnicity was Scandinavian, I think 10%. Now look at me! Thanks for sharing your experiences with DNA.

If you did an AncestryDNA test, I’d recommend checking out the ranges on your results to see how reliable the estimates are. It seems to me like almost no one thinks to check them, but I think they’re very enlightening and one of the best things about AncestryDNA tests in particular. For example, my grandmother got 49% English on her ethnicity estimate, but, when you click on that percentage, it says that it can actually range from 44% to 63%. And they gave her a 6% Irish estimate, but said that it can range from 0% to 11%-meaning that they’re admitting that she might not have any Irish at all. So, you can check and see which of your results do and don’t range down to 0%, and that’ll tell you which ones they’re certain that you at least have a little bit of. Out of the six results my grandmother got on her ethnicity estimate, only two are certain.

If it's anything like mine, it'll update as time goes on. It gets more accurate. What shocked me is that, I was adopted and I do know my biological mother, I met my biological grandfather and father on ancestry. Turns out Im half Italian (and half scottish which goes back to Norway). The funny part is that my family, that adopted me, are from Sicily. My biological fathers side is also from Sicily.

Dna can sometimes confuse and misidentify ethnicity results. If your German ancestors were from the lower Saxony Bundaslander for example (that's German for province) some of your German dna can get misidentified by the company and group it with England. You are from the Saxon and Jutish settled area of England. So your German ancestral dna could just of been grouped with the English Kent dna community because it looks the same so ancestry can decide the labeling. It's like asking a Belgian Dutchman mix man to get his dna tested and assume he'll surely have ancestry nail down his results with a genetically identical people on a 23&me test or whatever he'll bloody use.

You could be absolutely correct about which parent is which. However, I have researched my ancestry for decades and was convinced I knew which parent was which. I was totally shocked when I found out I was wrong. You can tell by comparing cousins' surnames that appear in your DNA matches when ancestry pairs them with your parent 1 and parent 2 results, assuming you know the main surnames in both of your parent's sides. Just found you and enjoyed the video very much. Thanks!

Your results are similar to mine. Though im American. 37% English. 30% Scottish 14% Irish 9% Welsh. 6% Danish 2% Norwegian 2% German However my text updated hundreds of times since 2018 so percentages changes or are reinterpreted. Though from my family tree I can trace 500 ancestors 500 years back mostly in various parts of England and sometimes other parts of Britain and Ireland in general and on a rare occasion in continental Europe.

My DNA results are very similar to yours, and I can tan. The ability to tan is a mix of complex factors, so the ability to tan is not necessarily linked to where your DNA comes from. I'm American, and my DNA results were 64% English, 15 % Scottish, 9 % German, 8% Irish, 4 % Welsh. The native Celtic Britons were mainly brunette. Then you get the Romans for a few centuries, leaving behind some swarthier genes. Then starting in the 500's the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes came from the Jutland peninsula (and a bit of northern Germany), then about 3 centuries later you get the Vikings coming from Norway and Denmark, bringing in an infusion of blood from fairer-skinned people. After a couple of centuries, you get the Normans invading from Normandy, who were a mix of French and Viking, and you get a population that ends up becoming 'English', a mixed group of people with a variety of skin tones, hair color, and eye color. The Romans even had some centurions that were African in origin, but that's too far back for it to have an effect on the modern DNA, as your DNA test reflects about the last six generations of your family.

I’ve just caved in and ordered mine. My mum has always told stories about how her family have been mistaken for being Asian a suspicious amount of times. I myself have been asked quite a lot in casual convo if im part Turkish, Syrian, Japanese, Chinese and what have you. I think it’s far more likely though that I’m just British and Irish as far back and we just have darker features(all my grandparents had Irish, Scottish, and English surnames).

Something I’ve noticed about AncestryDNA that seems to be unique to their tests, though, is that you can check and see what the ranges on the results in your ethnicity estimate are. So, you can check and see which of your results do and don’t range down to 0%, and that’ll tell you which ones they’re certain that you have at least a little bit of. My grandmother got 49% English with a range of 44% to 63%; 39% Scottish with a range of 17% to 39%; 6% Irish with a range of 0% to 11%; 3% “Baltics” with a range of 0% to 3%; 2% Welsh with a range of 0% to 8%; and 1% “Germanic Europe” with a range of 0% to 20%. So, it’s possible that they could be wrong about all of the exact percentages, and it’s possible that they could be wrong about her having any DNA at all from Ireland, Wales, or Continental Europe, but the English and Scottish are absolutely guaranteed to make up the majority of her DNA.

Their ancestors were from the Welsh/English border area so that's possibly the Welsh bit. I've not found a connection for Scandinavia or Eastern European yet and Scotland may be on my Nan's side of the family but I've only got as far as North Yorkshire and the 1600s. Lainey, as you're from up north I reckon you will have a high percentage of Scandinavian in your DNA as the Danes and Vikings ruled that part of England. Have a look at GEDMATCH, you can down load your DNA results and it links you up to hundreds of people with the same genes.

When you said your grandfather was German.. the blue chromosone bar at the top pretty much confirms it , about that first bar of Sweden & Denmark (this should be read as Germany)... the top bar should, in most cases, show the most recent ancestry, so that would link to your grandparents. Swedish and Denmark often is mistaken for German in these tests, due to the amount of mixing going on back in history. So it would appear your grandfather really was ethnically German!

Your ethnicity estimate is based on modern populations and does not go back 1,000 years. It only goes back about 6 generations and is based on reference panels. Your results will likely change with updates especially when they increase references from more areas. If England was split between north and south it would change your results. England and Northwestern Europe is quite a big area. At one time they used to have Ireland and Scotland as one category but they split these countries. Ancestry should be able to separate England and Northwestern Europe. Take some of the trace regions with a pinch of salt unless you have a paper trail.

You can find out what literal skeletons you descend from in MyTrueAncestry which I mentioned earlier. Which shouldn't be confused with Ancestry. This one app.

I'm astonished about the wide range of possible percentages in especially the last two regions. Obviously I inherited genes, that are common to both Germany and England (Ancestry regions). I strongly suspect, they come from a border area between both of them, e.g. the Netherlands. The nation has seen centuries of work migration from Northern Germany and I still have distant relatives there.

A short update here. Ancestry did change their ethnicity estimates today to 55% (48-100) Germanic Europe (+28), 26% (0-33) Sweden and Denmark and 11% (0-35) England & Northwestern Europe (-31). The most noticable change was to remove the Netherlands from being somewhat "contested" between England and Germany and moving it to Germanic Europe's core area. So my first assumption of a Dutch element - prob. after 1650 - seems to be true and the most logical direction it happened is through emigration into the much more prosperous West. {For the regions, where my ancestors came from, the target changed in the 1830s to America.}

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@robertolang9684 False. The only true Celtic people are those who have DNA from at least one of the six Celtic nations-Scotland, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany-and speak at least one of the six Celtic languages-Scottish Gaelic, Irish, Manx, Welsh, Cornish, and Breton. Celtic is an ethnolinguistic group. If you don’t speak a Celtic language, you’re not a Celt, and even Turks have Celtic DNA, but literally no one from Switzerland, Iberia, or Italy speaks a Celtic language, so none of them are Celts-it’s very simple.

⁠​⁠@@babybluebells Do you mind if I ask what part(s) of England your English ancestors were from? My grandfather, from whom I got the Phillips name, also did a DNA test with MyHeritage and, like you, didn’t get any “English” in his results (although parts of southern, western, and northern England are included in the “Irish, Scottish, and Welsh” category, which was his top result), and I’m pretty sure that’s not right. We’re American, and English is the top DNA result in the U.S., and I’m pretty sure the majority of our DNA is from England, but his results were 45.7% “Irish, Scottish, and Welsh”, 36.4% Scandinavian (not as high as yours, but still higher than expected, even taking into account Viking DNA in the British Isles), and 17.9% Iberian (which I’m pretty sure is wrong, as he has more DNA matches from pretty much every other area of Europe, with 71% of his European matches being from the U.K., 9% being from the Nordic countries, 7% being from Ireland, 4% being from France, and less than 1% being from Spain or Portugal, with even the majority of that 1% appearing to be of English descent, not Iberian). My best guess is that the Celtic part of English DNA was lumped into what functions as the Celtic category, and the Anglo-Saxon part of English DNA was lumped into the Scandinavian category. I did read before that it’s very difficult to distinguish Anglo-Saxon from Danish, as the Anglo-Saxons came from what would later become Denmark, so the only real difference between the ancient Anglo-Saxons and Danes is that Danes have some Swedish DNA mixed in. Or, another possibility is that they don’t have many samples from certain areas of England-maybe the areas that your ancestors and mine came from. “English” is the top DNA result in the U.K. as well, so it seems like plenty of other English people are showing up as English. I remember seeing a map post that showed what parts of Britain the British people who colonized what would later become the U.S. came from, and I think that would be useful to this discussion, but, sadly, try as I might, I haven’t been able to find it again, and I can’t remember what it showed.

I’m 63% England, 21 % Ireland, 5% Norway,4% Germanic Europe, 4% Scotland, and 3% Wales. Surname Keats. All of my ancestors are European.

@@claytonwaynejohnson5315 Nope, not U.S. American. Canadian. My grandparents were considered British when they were born because my island was still a dominion of England. With that being said, my people were and are a mix of British and Irish, but have been on this side for about 270 years or so.

I have dark curly hair and as far I knew, I was just Serbian, Polish and German. Disappointed I was only 1% African and found out there’s Northern Italian and Norwegian. Nothing shocking for me. 😕

The Anglo-Saxons themselves From a particular certain point of view Were Vikings were they not technically?

Your ancestry is British or people that invaded Britain (Germanic Europe counts in this definition cause Anglo-Saxon)

I did Living DNA to trace my mother line and that is how I was able to figure out which was parent 1 and parent 2. I just checked my Ancestry update and the results did not shock me for the update . My mother had the Germanic ancestry Dutch and Netherlands , Holland and Rotterdam . Ancestry gives me 6% but Living DNA gives me 12%. The Welsh I also got from my mothers side . Living DNA gave me 27.6 % South England and breaks it down even more by area in the British Isles 88% Great Britain . Ancestry gives me 59% England and Northwest Europe . Scotland 32%. I knew my father's side was mostly from Great Britain and my dad's mother .

I got 100 percent British and Irish. LOL. I was hoping to be "exotic" 🤣😂🤣😂

You are exotic more than any asían or african asians and africans make make up 60% and 22% of the world White people only make up 12 % of the world everytime i hear a White Person saying i want to be more "exotic* i cringe 😂😂😂

I did this as a guy from Utah. The results were not a big surprise. 58% British, 12% Nordic, then German and French. The only surprise was 1.5% North African. I'm still dangerously pale and melanin deficient, though. The only advantage is that I can guzzle dairy products all day and not get the shits.

I found a full blooded Uncle, a Half Sister, a full blooded Cousin and a bunch of half Cousins. All of whom I never knew existed, my results rocked my world.

It could still happen, I was already on AncestryDNA, then my sister tested a few years later. That’s how we found out about each other. I was SHOCKED! My half sister was born there in Surrey. My Mum is from Wimbledon. I was very upset because my only sibling died when I was 14. My Dad never telling me about my sister broke my heart. He saw my tremendous grief over my brother and still kept his secret. My sister and I met and it was amazing! Unfortunately she died from Covid last year and my Uncle just passed a couple days ago. I am so incredibly grateful that I was able to meet them. So, don’t rule it out, a family member can pop up at ANY TIME!

YES 7 % viking!! Velkommen til Skandinavien PS The Faroe Islands is part of Denmark (not Norway)... but we are all brothers and sisters ;-) I´m 85% Scandinavian myself... and the rest is Western Europe and Eastern Europe... But hey - Ben, the Vikings was actually not blond and tall with blue eyes... I read an article about that some months ago (a Danish article)...

The only thing that surprises me is how I don't have French dna but like 20 different ancestors from Norman surnames. But I guess it's too far back to trace so I don't care. I still got the French Norman ancestry even without French dna. So my shock shouldn't be that shocking.

The Normans originally arrived in Normandy, France from Norway - they weren't actually Franks or whatever. Norman is Man of the North, from Norway. That probably accords a lot more closely with your own ethnicity, I'm guessing.

Your ancestors had a boat. (Are they were good swimmers)

Dna can breed out. Like for example ethnic dna can reach 0% after 6 generations pretty often. Ancestry is forever. Dna can be bred out.

Germanic Europe doesn't mean Germany. It means Germany. And Netherlands. It covers two countries not one.

@@LaineyandBen yeah there's no reason why she wouldn't want to do one, she found out that the father section on her birth certificate is blank, just like mine, and she always questioned her mum if she was adopted or have a different father to her siblings, and her mum anyways denied it, she started questioning it even more since we met, and its not like her mum can stop her either since she and her boyfriend have a place of their own together, the reason why her mum denied it is because of her mental health problems and all her life, she believed that the father of one of her siblings was her father, however I've never had someone to refer to as dad, my uncle is the only father-like figure in my life but I don't see how that should be an "excuse" to blatantly lie to someone about who their dad is because I have adhd, autism, severe anxiety and severe social anxiety and probably depression and I was fine when my mum told me the brutal honest truth, in fact I got excited and wanted to meet her, there's litterally no reason why she shouldn't know, especially now
