      @@maxdavis7722 nationally, ethnically, and culturally English. Genetics doesn’t determine social or legal belonging. Unless someone recognizes that yeah their family has vestigial traditions that tie back to ancestral ethnicity often that earlier ethnicity is washed out of the individual. Physical distinctives ie race that sets one visually apart from the majority population does tend to be a mitigating factor.

      Correct, Africa is the most genetically diverse continent in the world. When humans move out of Africa 50000 years ago, it was just several small groups ... also meaning they have all the natural feature's.
      White and light skin features come from us.

    My family is from the Southern US and I'm more British and Irish (84%) than those girls... who are the most "ethnically" British of the five. Also have the French and German (7.9%) and Scandinavian (2.7%) and Broadly NW European (2.3%) that they do. After over 300 years in the North America the only "diverse" bits are 1.8% Native American and 1% Sub-Saharan African. There was so little immigration to the Southern States until recently that most white people there are very British and Irish in their ancestry. Possibly more than many modern day inhabitants of the UK.

    Hi, I recently did a my heritage DNA test. I'm English but have a lot of Irish blood, my great grandparents coming from Dublin and county Down. I also have Welsh great grandparents and Scottish great great grandparents and my family have traced my seven times Scottish great grandfather back to the 1600s. My test shows nearly 80% Irish, Scottish and Welsh as well as 13.6% Scandinavian and 7% English. It feels absolutely right but after watching numerous ethnicity videos, my heritage tends to get a bad press. Should I take another test with a different company or can I trust the accuracy of my results?

    • @jodavi5763
      @jodavi5763 3 года назад

      It really all depends on you. If you think your My Heritage results are accurate then great. If you want to use a different company because of doubts then you can. But I would say that taking more than one test is good so you can compare results. But again it really all depends on how you feel.

      ​@@angyliv8040 That isn't actually true, they were Bell Beakers who came to Britain from the Netherlands, who arrived, and replaced ~95% of the former population of Britain about 4,500 years ago. Celts originated in Austria/Germany, and likely never came to Britain in great numbers, only their culture really came, and these Bell Beakers adopted it.

    I have a feeling I have Celtic/Viking DNA. Obviously not significant amounts. Though wouldn't be surprised if I am neither at the same time as I have watched many people be surprised about their ancestry.
    I came to that conclusion though because of the hereditary diseases the males in my family are prone to.
    Also there are certain genes that are prevalent and pop up a lot throughout my family. Quite a lot of very pale red heads on my grandads side and also quite a lot of darker more Olive/Italian looking skin tones from his side too.
    Dark brown/almost black hair is common... or a very dark ginger that is almost auburn.
    Not that many of these things are significant. Only a small percentage of the world is ginger but a larger percentage carry the ability to pass on those genetics. I used to think that being ginger was something that would make me genetically more traceable. Unfortunately it's not as significant as it sounds.
    Edit: I am not the guy in my Picture, that guy is a legend. I am not.

  • @dontrotter1099
    @dontrotter1099 3 года назад

    So professional Genealogist huh? Didnt do history? Or geography? England was celtic for while, then pushed out by the western migration of the farmers from the middle east. Then the celts came back up from ireland area to take it over again. Then the romans came in and brought a huge amount of different haplogroups with them, until around 500ad. They went home and then the saxons and angles came calling, then the vikings, and then the french normans, with their retinues from holland and flanders. not to mention the northern area of france and germany ,or gaulic germany.
    The itialian is probably 100 percent italian. Just need a grand parent to be from the alps area of italy to get that french and german mix. I have thought that the italian area would be one of the hardest areas to pin down because of all the human traffic through that area for so long. some of these tests are really starting to get into the true range of the linages a person could be part of.
    If i was to do a genealogy test i would want one to really tell me my haplogroups and let me look myself. I have seen pictures or tv showing people who have a near resemblance to family members from the middle east or near indian locations. I spent 2 years going through a ton of research material to narrow my family down. working from just my dad and then out. Once i found the family line then all those paths made sense. It would be cool to use a program to get the distance. I have an idea where my family came from but would really like to be able to say, right there.
