I was born an raised in the U.S. ( Missouri ) I've never been out of the States. My DNA is 99.5% Northwestern European, 94.8% of that is British & Irish ( specifically English, Scottish, Irish ) If someone could qualify for citizenship based on DNA percentages I would flee the U.S. in a heartbeat !!
@@liberoAquila That's true to a point, from what I understand unless I've missed something. The UK will only go back as far as your Grandparents and in certain special cases your Great Grandparents. Unfortunately all of my people have been in the U.S. for 5 to 6 generations now. Which is why I'm rather surprised at how pure ( for lack of a better term ) my DNA percents are.
It all depends on how many people have taken the test, the more that have from a specific region the more chance other regions will show on your report with regards Britain.
I'm very British but I don't think that's necessarily boring. I have four relatives who served in the Revolutionary War, I'm a chimera and I found the individual stories to make a more complete picture of who I am. So I'm in!

As an English person I got 28% English 32% Scottish 28% Irish 8% Danish/Swedish 4% Welsh Pretty interesting, I know my family around the time of WW1 had strong roots in Germany but my results dont really depict that.
Nice DNA there. Recently discovered my DNA with Ancestry also. Almost all of my family I'm finding on there is 45%+ British and Mormon, from my mothers side of family. This was my result. Germanic Europe 26%, England and Northwestern Europe 19%, Sweden 17%, Scotland 16%, Ireland 15%, Norway 5%, Eastern Europe and Russia 2%. Additional Communities are Mountain West Mormon Pioneers from your regions: England and Northwestern Europe; Scotland. Maybe the Sweden comes from Dad's side since it's closer to Germany and the Norway from mothers mostly British side. My closest DNA relative on there is my cousin and he is majority 42% British and 13% Norway but 0% from Sweden. My Dad refuses to get tested but I'm going to test my mother. If she has Norway but not Sweden then maybe the Sweden is from my Dad. Really fascinating stuff for sure.
43.0% mesoamerican and Andean 26.6% Italian 14.4% Irish Scottish and welsh 10.3% North African 0.9% Nigerian and 4.8% central Asian plus I have family in Guam
Where in the UK are you from/located? I'm from Lancashire/Cumbria/Scotland/Ireland I've done two tests (one through Ancestry and another through 23andMe) and currently waiting on the results. I've been told I look very Nordic and a few generations ago I had a few Scandinavian surnames in my family (Johnson/Jonson or something like that and Pierson/Pearson or something like that), so mine will probably be a mix of mostly British/Irish and Scandinavian and possibly small mixes of Finland and Germany and a little French and Dutch maybe.
Well I’m from Cumbria. But my family is mostly from Yorkshire / midlands / Scotland but there is also a lot of other parts of the country there as well
56.2% Irish, Scots, Welsh - 40.1% Scandinavian - 3.7% Italian - and I was born and raised exclusively in England by English parents (although my Grandad was Welsh).
@@Cosmicfraud3209 Dude… It makes sense if you remember that the British isles were part of the Roman Empire and historically that Sicilians, amongst others of the Roman armies settled/stayed in Wales. It not unusual for the Welsh to have some Italian ancestry. One of my old bosses did (Rob Mainwaring), and his British family still spoke with the Sicilian family members.
I have done this and my DNA shows I am 99.7% British and Irish with 71% Scottish, 22% Irish, 4% Irish and 3% Danish and Swedish there is also .04% Southern Chinese as well.
Dear Natalie: I know you're disappointed (as I was) by the regions you got on your test, but one interesting thing it means for you, you go wayyyy back in England, Scotland and Ireland, so you can just do research locally at some library, and maybe find relatives all the way back to Medieval times for all you know, because your roots have been there for so long! Wouldn't it be interesting to know what your family was up to when Chaucer was writing his rhymes? ;-) ( From: another bored, really white woman (80 percent Scottish) in Canada. lol)
I don't entirely know but I'm American. I think mine will be close to 99% European. Mostly German, English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish and a bit of Italian and Greek.😌
You should test your parents too because it is possible you didn't inherit the French DNA from your parents because DNA is inherited randomly and you only receive 50 percent from each parent. It could still be there.
All the DNA companies results are skewed against reporting French ethnicity - mostly due to the lack of French people taking the tests for their database, and also how they are categorised. It always comes back as some other NW European ethnicity or Iberian.
Great video! I always LOVE seeing people’s results. 60% England and Northwestern Europe 23% Scotland 12% Ireland 3% Norway 2% Sweden. Who else here has British ancestry?? Make sure you check your results because they’ve just been updated! Wales and England are now separate. And Scotland and Ireland are now separate.
I’m British and i got my results the other day and I’m only 33.8% English 😂 North and West European 41.7%, Scandinavian 17.9% and East European 6.6% no Irish Scottish or Welsh DNA
English are German, the Anglo Saxons. You’re the same as me really I got 56% ireland, 44%Great Britain. Be proud of your pure heritage. You look very Celtic/Saxon mix very pretty blue eyes and light brown hair
u.s old glory a black or Asian cannot be German racially and ethnically. Germans are a racial group just like the British and Scandinavians and Slavs etc. The new arrivals are being granted citizenship by left wing politicians. These people are NOT European
So simply stating that European people have their own distinct indigenous racial dna make up makes me a supremacist? By your definition maybe. But by denying European people our own distinct ethnic identity you are actually the one being racist
English are German , saxony is an actual place in Germany where they came from. Many English are mixed with celtic, many Scots and welsh are mixed with some Saxon blood. Irish are almost exclusively Celtic. They haven’t mixed with the English.
@@andiekelly3373 Hello, Scotland counts as British ancestry. The Germans outnumber the Brits by self reported ancestry only. Self reported English Americans made up nearly 50 million people in 1980, that’s down to 23 million in 2019, as most have chosen to just identify with “American” ethnicity. According to ancestry.com over 72 million Americans have majority British ancestry today.
There's a youtube channel called 'survive the jive' and he did an interesting video about the Finnish people called 'Are Finns European?'. I found it very interesting and would suggest you watch it. I seem to remember that like all Europeans, they have 'steppe ancestry', meaning some ancient 'Caucasian' ancestors - Turkic/Iranian peoples, who migrated into Europe a long time ago. The Finns apparently retain a whole load of this Caucasian dna.
I'm brazillian and on my test i score 12% Scandinavian, exatly from the part of my family that i thought it would be british, because i have always been told that people from the uk are genetically identical to the nordics!
The Scandinavians came down to Denamrk and over to England and so on and so forth so we all have more ancestors in more places then these tests could tell us.
Worth pointing out that Ancestry testing is autosomal, and can only really go back 6/8 generations, before the data becomes indistinct. So anything past 200 years ago and the test will not detect it. If it detects significant Scandinavian, that means you probably had an ancestor in the last 200 years who shared a significant part of their DNA with modern day Scandinavians.
The german comes from the anglo saxons. Its a bit weird that their is no scandinavian... You should maybe wait until they update the results. I did the test too as a german. I got 57% german, 36% english and rest scandinavian and eastern european. The 36% english were a bit suprising but im from northwest germany and thats exactly where the english (anglo saxons) come from.
@@cowlo9990 Falsch, germanisch hat nichts mit deutsch zu tun. Engländer haben durchschnittlich einen weitaus höheren germanischen Anteil durch bspw. die Angelsachsen.

This was a fun vid, thanks! 😀I was curious too so my result are I'm American with 67.3% European with 41.5% British Isles (21% Scottish & 11% Irish). The next largest percentage is my 28.2% Indigenous American from Arizona/Sonora area. My Great Grandmother grew up on an Arizona Native Reservation. So that tracks pretty well with the information passed on by my family.
I always knew I was Irish☘️ Being Finnish🇫🇮 was not much of a shock. But to find out I am Portuguese 🇵🇹 Iran & Turkey 🇹🇷 too this really shocked me so much as we was all told we was part Italian. It never made sense when I looked in the mirror now I know why. It’s funny because I actually look like a Nordic Persian😂♥️
Interesting. I got 47% Ireland, 20% Scotland, 24% England and Northwestern Europe (not Wales) 5% Germanic Europe, 3% Sweden, 1% Balkans. My dad is German and so is his dad so it makes no sense to me
Hi Nattie. I just would like to mention the fact that depending on the platform you have taken your DNA test from, the results may differ a bit. Each platform has their own populations of reference, so if one is lacking information from such and such area of the world, you will have no matches there. Some populations are also wrongly assimilated, making the results irrelevant or undiscriminated (one huge region as one single entity, whereas there are several ethnicities there). Just saying ! 😉
Idk really. I was speculating because I know of my family being based all around the British empire at times, but nothing direct. So, I guess it's possible that at some point a direct ancestor could have been in contact with African Americans
I’m AA and there is a very significant overlap between the people of the British Isles and Africans brought to the 13 Colonies between early 1600’s and the very beginning of the 1800’s.
I’m 23.1 percent English 9 percent Scottish, Irish, and Welsh. 65.4percent between Germany the Netherlands and France and 2.5 percent Finnish according to my heritage DNA 🧬
I haven’t done a test myself, but both of my paternal grandparents have, and I would think my results would be similar to theirs. My grandmother did an AncestryDNA test, but my grandfather tested with a company called MyHeritage, which I know a lot of people think is very inaccurate, and I can’t disagree with that assessment because I think my grandfather’s background is about the same as my grandmother’s and yet about half of his estimate differed greatly from hers, but I do think it can at least indicate some interesting things about ancient ancestry. Anyway, I’ll go head and share. We’re all Americans of British Colonial descent from (unfortunately) the central U.S., by the way. 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% Baltic with a range of 0% to 3%, 2% Welsh with a range of 0% to 8%, and 1% Dutch with a range of 0% to 20%. So, the only thing Ancestry is sure about is her English and Scottish ancestry, but I also believe the Dutch (although I think it should be 2% or 3%) because I traced it back to Nieuw Nederland. And my grandfather got 45.7% Celtic (by which I mean the six Celtic nations-Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany-because MyHeritage lumps all of them together), 36.4% Scandinavian, and 17.9% Iberian.
Hi I done a test am Scottish born with Scot’s mum & Irish dad my results were: 83% Irish Scottish Welsh 11.4 Greek & South Italian 5.6 Baltic . 100% European.
I'm from South west england in Devon and I am 91% British 9% outside of Britain British category... (91%) - 78% English - 8% Welsh - 5% Scottish Other European Category (5%) - 2% German - 2% Dutch - 1% Icelandic African category - 3% Nigerian - 1% Cameroon I have german ancestors on both sides of the family. Half of my dads side were from the US which is where the African, Scottish and some of the german dna comes from. My mums Great Grandma was welsh which is where my welsh comes from. I do have scottish and irish families living in London in the early 1800s on my mums side but i didn't inherit any irish. My mum and paternal grandmas have tested. My Maternal grandmas results is fairly similar to me, except she is 22% African and has 26% Cornish dna. My paternal grandad is more ethnically diverse in Europe having 20% German, 11% Cornish, 14% Scottish, 50% English, 3% French and 2% Spanish. I believe my Grandad has an ancestor who was french who was a french soldier, he was captured in 1797 and taken to britain and settled down with a local here. There's german on that side too. The spanish on my grandads side may or may not be true.. but its possible it is My dna communities are - Early Georgia settlers - North Carolina Settlers - Devon, Dorset and Somerset - Cornwall - Alabama & Georgia African Americans - Early Southern US African Americans (Texas)
@@ericktwelve11 The Picts. 10000 yrs ago England was connected to Europe . That area was called Doggerland . The ice melted and sea level rose. I guess it depends on who does the testing that decides where you come from originally. Fascinating.
What I meant was that I thought I could have a connection to African Americans because I know of my family living around the British empire. Most likely Africans that have been taken to America would be where the connection was if there was one. I didn’t mean to imply that all people from Africa are African American, I just thought that if I were to have an African connection it would be through African Americans 😊
The African diaspora is a more inclusive term. African American is an specific ethinic group for Black Americans. Outside of American no one really uses that term, we are either Caribbean, Afro Latin etc. In Africa, people identify with their country and tribes. All other groups will identify with their nationality. To keep it simple it's best to say the African diaspora.
We share some genetic communities, the midlands and the potteries. Also in case you didn't know they have updated their results just a few weeks ago, you should go have another look because they would have changed.
Better than me. I’m American. Family has been here for 200-300 years ish. I’m 74% English, 11% Welsh, 3% Irish Oh and a whopping 11% Scandinavian. We both know how that got there. Cough cough Viking conquests of England.

@@dbulc5171 I would not say disapprove but yeah the most prefer the Northern European DNA (of course not all of us). Some tend to be infatuated with British isles since the settlers were British.
@@ingrid9433 I know, but Germanic Europe in this refers to Germany, so without the Slavic in it. What you actually mean is that most Germans have some percentage of Slavic/Eastern European in them.
@@Chickendoodle99 Actually british people have more germanic admixture than germans. Germany is the melting pot of europe, seen from a genetically point of view. You can find a very high percentage of what you called slavic or eastern european admixture in eastern parts of germany, germanic dominance in northern parts and celtic shares in southern germany. Thats why you cant find a stereotype of looking there. Russia is by the way an equal example in terms of mixing.
Was very proud to find out I was 98% British. There’s nothing bland or boring about being British or White. People who think that haven’t studied enough history. Our ancestors invented the most important inventions of all time, they traveled the world and conquered lands from Africa to South America and while building a beautiful culture thru language, music, architecture, art, and our civility. The world is a better place because of the Europeans. Our ancestors are the reason people have phones, satellites, rockets, automobiles, trains etc.
The world is a better place because of europeans??? Have you ever stepped foot outside of western europe? 99% of the worlds issues are caused by europeans fucking up the rest of the world. It might be better for you living in the uk since you were able to benefit from slavery and exploitation but its not better for the so many millions africans who have been left poor and unstable to this day because of what the europeans did. Its not better for the native americans or aboriginals who have faced centuries of genocide and are now a tiny minority within their own native land? And to say "our civility"...
Both World Wars were caused by Europeans. Neither the street cleaner, nor drycleaning, nor the smoke hood, nor the three-signal traffic light, nor the refrigerated truck, nor pasta, nor fireworks were invented by Europeans.
@@Austin-cx2xe The British and Germans who are quite white invented the most ? But the Egyptians Arabs and Indians and Chinese and Japanese did too they weren't whites etc but I see your point.. Ps east euros are pretty poor and didn't invent much 🤣
62% English/NW European 11% Welsh 7% Scottish 6% Norwegian 5% Germanic Europe 3% Sweden and Denmark . My mom is 35% Sweden and Denmark as my great grandma is from Denmark 😅
I'm from England and was always told we were just English. I was told British ancestry is mostly Western European/Germanic, so that's what I expected. My DNA test said I was mostly Irish, Scottish and a little bit England and Wales and possibly Scandinavian. But no Western European/Germanic was in there. So I decided to do a genealogy trace. I've got a lot of Irish ancestors who moved to England again and again and again. Earliest Irish immigrant ancestor I could trace in my family showed up in London was 16th Century. I couldn't find any Scottish, but I suppose maybe they don't make a distinction?
Yes mine was the same I'm English my highest ethnicity was Irish then English then Scottish and a bit Denmark and Sweden alot of Irish people came over for work so alot of is English have Irish ancestry 👍🏻🏴🇨🇮🏴
Despite what you might hear Britain has been very very homogenous for the most part for the last 1000 years. It’s only since the 1950s we have become multicultural but please don’t disrespect your ancestors and your heritage!
Mine is 36percent England and northwest Europe 30 percent Ireland 23 percent Scottish and 11 percent Wales I was disappointed because my 3rd great great grandfather was Portuguese on my mum's side there's Irish on both side. So I got most of my dad's DNA
American with 72 percent english and northwestern europen,19 percent scottish,5 percent irish, 2 percent wWales, 1 percent Cameroon and bantu people and 1 percent finnish. Then again my surname is Hollingsworth so go figure..
This is what I am: 24% German 19% Scottish 18% Filipino 12% English 10% Irish 6% Russian 5% Norwegian 4% Swedish 2% Latvian? (it just says Baltics & is highlighting Latvia mainly)
People always want to be something theyre not its really interesting! I watch german/scandinavian DNA testers swearing theyre italian or british amd i watch brits and italians swearing they are germanic/scandinavian etc! Kinda like how all americans are Italian american or irish american yet have english surnames like smith, potter, baker, pitt, etc.
I’ve also noticed that people who are ethnically European are always trying to tan themselves, giving themselves skin cancer trying to have darker skin, while Africans and Asians are bleaching their skin trying to have lighter skin. It’s really depressing. It would be nice if people could accept themselves.
I have French Canadians / French ancestors. My dads DNA test reveals he has French Canadian communities and my family tree also shows exactly how the French entered the DNA pool. My 2nd GGM was French Canadian and so were her ancestors on both sides and Ancestry says both me and my dad have 0% French DNA. I believe it's because France wont allow DNA testing so it's impossible for testing companies to get accurate results.
Lars Liam Vilhelm that's not what I meant . My grandma was Irish so I already knew that and for generations my family is from England. I was happy about Norway and Sweden but I'd have liked maybe more , I don't know why but growing up with very blonde hair and blue eyes I was hoping lol
I see your video was posted a little over a year ago...your results may have been updated by now. I believe the larger Ancestry's database gets the more accurate the results. My latest results are very close to what I expected when I had my first results six years ago. My latest results shows: England & Northwestern Europe 63%, Scotland 20%, Wales 7%, Sweden & Denmark 5%, Norway 3% and Nigerian 2%. My first test 6 years ago had 29% Ireland...where did that go during my latest update? The Nigerian probably came from the slave trade (all of my ancestors have been in America since the 1600s and every immigrant that I trace back came from England). Here's a video I put together many years ago. ruclips.net/video/NIAqi06dJ-U/видео.html
Canadian, but we originally landed in British Colonial Virginia in the late 1500's after doing a tour of duty in Tyrone, then Kentucky, Indiana, Colorado and eventually Washington state before (gasp) illegally immigrating aka riding a horse, into Alberta in the 1920's. 94.5% British and Irish, mostly from the Southern Uplands of Scotland, Ulster and a smaller amount from West Yorkshire through my maternal Grandfather, then a remainder of Belgian Flemish and Scandinavian. Nearly everyone who's British, and certainly the Scots, Scots-Irish, general northerners as well as Irish-Irish, have a dollop of Scandinavian in their meat pie, 'cause of all the baby batter the vikings were non-consensually dishing out willy nilly.
It's a strange thing to say that you don't know any ancestors from Germany, your family tree doesn't just consist of your "living" relatives, every ones family tree goes back millions of years and people of the British Isles originate from the Mediterranean.
There is no such thing as an ethnic DNA. Genetic DNA is based on most common DNA per region. For example celtic people were everywhere in Europe and ended up most common in isolated regions like the British isles, northern Spain, Northern France etc.. Also the Greek, Romans and Germanic tribes were all over Europe as well spreading DNA and mixing with everyone as was in asia with the Mongols fir example. According to the disclaimer with these test, it is for entertainment purposes only.
"How white am I"? That's a real shallow way to look at things. You should look at it as ethnicity and how interesting the history is instead of what skin color you obviously are.
If you knew anything about me you would know that the whole reason I took the test was because I was interested in the history. I put that on the thumbnail because I thought it would get more clicks, not because I don’t care about the history.
No, you're not 96% British! Ireland is Not part of the British Isles.. so you are confused and mistaken.. You are only 59% British, as the Ancestry DNA chart shows..
The British Isles: Great Britain and Ireland along with the Isle of Man, the Hebrides, Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands and a couple of small islands.
I'm from Utah, the US state with the most British ancestry. 23andMe says I'm 58% British. The rest is Nordic, German and French. The only mild surprise was that I'm 1.5% North African. Too bad that didn't give me a bit of melanin. I sunburn if I part the curtains.
Its stupid american media, that makes all white people from the anglo world unconfortable to celebrate their ancestry, thry think 90% of white people in América has slaves when that was just like 8% of them

Nice DNA there. Recently discovered my DNA with Ancestry also. Almost all of my family I'm finding on there is 45%+ British and Mormon, from my mothers side of family. This was my result. Germanic Europe 26%, England and Northwestern Europe 19%, Sweden 17%, Scotland 16%, Ireland 15%, Norway 5%, Eastern Europe and Russia 2%. Additional Communities are Mountain West Mormon Pioneers from your regions: England and Northwestern Europe; Scotland. Maybe the Sweden comes from Dad's side since it's closer to Germany and the Norway from mothers mostly British side. My closest DNA relative on there is my cousin and he is majority 42% British and 13% Norway but 0% from Sweden. My Dad refuses to get tested but I'm going to test my mother. If she has Norway but not Sweden then maybe the Sweden is from my Dad. Really fascinating stuff for sure.

I've been told I look very Nordic and a few generations ago I had a few Scandinavian surnames in my family (Johnson/Jonson or something like that and Pierson/Pearson or something like that), so mine will probably be a mix of mostly British/Irish and Scandinavian and possibly small mixes of Finland and Germany and a little French and Dutch maybe.

Dear Natalie: I know you're disappointed (as I was) by the regions you got on your test, but one interesting thing it means for you, you go wayyyy back in England, Scotland and Ireland, so you can just do research locally at some library, and maybe find relatives all the way back to Medieval times for all you know, because your roots have been there for so long!
Wouldn't it be interesting to know what your family was up to when Chaucer was writing his rhymes? ;-)

You should test your parents too because it is possible you didn't inherit the French DNA from your parents because DNA is inherited randomly and you only receive 50 percent from each parent. It could still be there.
All the DNA companies results are skewed against reporting French ethnicity - mostly due to the lack of French people taking the tests for their database, and also how they are categorised. It always comes back as some other NW European ethnicity or Iberian.
Most likely not French..The Brits obsessed with the French.

Dont confound the germanic people with germans. Anglo-Saxons were germanic aswell. Germanic people settled in whole central and northern europe.
u.s old glory a black or Asian cannot be German racially and ethnically. Germans are a racial group just like the British and Scandinavians and Slavs etc. The new arrivals are being granted citizenship by left wing politicians. These people are NOT European
So simply stating that European people have their own distinct indigenous racial dna make up makes me a supremacist? By your definition maybe. But by denying European people our own distinct ethnic identity you are actually the one being racist
@@archstanton8670 You are confusing terms. Scandinavians are germanic, and "british" is a mix of germanic and celtic

There's a youtube channel called 'survive the jive' and he did an interesting video about the Finnish people called 'Are Finns European?'. I found it very interesting and would suggest you watch it. I seem to remember that like all Europeans, they have 'steppe ancestry', meaning some ancient 'Caucasian' ancestors - Turkic/Iranian peoples, who migrated into Europe a long time ago. The Finns apparently retain a whole load of this Caucasian dna.
I'm brazillian and on my test i score 12% Scandinavian, exatly from the part of my family that i thought it would be british, because i have always been told that people from the uk are genetically identical to the nordics!
Really?! I am surprised there was no Scandinavian tbh! 😂
The Scandinavians came down to Denamrk and over to England and so on and so forth so we all have more ancestors in more places then these tests could tell us.
Worth pointing out that Ancestry testing is autosomal, and can only really go back 6/8 generations, before the data becomes indistinct. So anything past 200 years ago and the test will not detect it. If it detects significant Scandinavian, that means you probably had an ancestor in the last 200 years who shared a significant part of their DNA with modern day Scandinavians.
Eu também sou do Brasil, vou fazer pelo Genera
That is a misconception. Brits and Scandinavian have different genetic appearance.
The german comes from the anglo saxons.
Its a bit weird that their is no scandinavian...
You should maybe wait until they update the results.
I did the test too as a german.
I got 57% german, 36% english and rest scandinavian and eastern european.
The 36% english were a bit suprising but im from northwest germany and thats exactly where the english (anglo saxons) come from.
Oooo, I never knew that!
Germanic is different to german. Anglo-Saxons were germanic.

The next largest percentage is my 28.2% Indigenous American from Arizona/Sonora area. My Great Grandmother grew up on an Arizona Native Reservation. So that tracks pretty well with the information passed on by my family.

Interesting. I got 47% Ireland, 20% Scotland, 24% England and Northwestern Europe (not Wales) 5% Germanic Europe, 3% Sweden, 1% Balkans. My dad is German and so is his dad so it makes no sense to me
Hi Nattie. I just would like to mention the fact that depending on the platform you have taken your DNA test from, the results may differ a bit. Each platform has their own populations of reference, so if one is lacking information from such and such area of the world, you will have no matches there. Some populations are also wrongly assimilated, making the results irrelevant or undiscriminated (one huge region as one single entity, whereas there are several ethnicities there). Just saying ! 😉
why did you think you’d have a connection to african americans?
Idk really. I was speculating because I know of my family being based all around the British empire at times, but nothing direct. So, I guess it's possible that at some point a direct ancestor could have been in contact with African Americans
Nattie Hewitt i see. perhaps you should check your dna matches?
I’m AA and there is a very significant overlap between the people of the British Isles and Africans brought to the 13 Colonies between early 1600’s and the very beginning of the 1800’s.
@@daron6616I seen some blacks with light eyes too and even a bit of auburn and dark blonde 😮 also light skinned aframs too
It's actually not that far fetch, considering England's deep involvement in the transatlantic slave trade.
The Germanic Europe part of your DNA is probably derives from distant ancestry from the Angles and Saxons who originally hail from Germanic Europe.
Ancestry DNA testing can only detect recent ancestry. It is autosomal, so only goes back a few hundred years.
I’m 23.1 percent English 9 percent Scottish, Irish, and Welsh. 65.4percent between Germany the Netherlands and France and 2.5 percent Finnish according to my heritage DNA 🧬
I have watched a lot of videos about dna test results but this is the first time I see 100% North West European😮👍❤
I haven’t done a test myself, but both of my paternal grandparents have, and I would think my results would be similar to theirs. My grandmother did an AncestryDNA test, but my grandfather tested with a company called MyHeritage, which I know a lot of people think is very inaccurate, and I can’t disagree with that assessment because I think my grandfather’s background is about the same as my grandmother’s and yet about half of his estimate differed greatly from hers, but I do think it can at least indicate some interesting things about ancient ancestry.
Anyway, I’ll go head and share. We’re all Americans of British Colonial descent from (unfortunately) the central U.S., by the way.
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% Baltic with a range of 0% to 3%, 2% Welsh with a range of 0% to 8%, and 1% Dutch with a range of 0% to 20%. So, the only thing Ancestry is sure about is her English and Scottish ancestry, but I also believe the Dutch (although I think it should be 2% or 3%) because I traced it back to Nieuw Nederland.
And my grandfather got 45.7% Celtic (by which I mean the six Celtic nations-Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany-because MyHeritage lumps all of them together), 36.4% Scandinavian, and 17.9% Iberian.

Why do you refer to people from Africa as 'African-Americans' ?
What I meant was that I thought I could have a connection to African Americans because I know of my family living around the British empire. Most likely Africans that have been taken to America would be where the connection was if there was one.
I didn’t mean to imply that all people from Africa are African American, I just thought that if I were to have an African connection it would be through African Americans 😊
The African diaspora is a more inclusive term. African American is an specific ethinic group for Black Americans. Outside of American no one really uses that term, we are either Caribbean, Afro Latin etc. In Africa, people identify with their country and tribes. All other groups will identify with their nationality. To keep it simple it's best to say the African diaspora.

It might be better for you living in the uk since you were able to benefit from slavery and exploitation but its not better for the so many millions africans who have been left poor and unstable to this day because of what the europeans did. Its not better for the native americans or aboriginals who have faced centuries of genocide and are now a tiny minority within their own native land? And to say "our civility"...

My first test 6 years ago had 29% Ireland...where did that go during my latest update? The Nigerian probably came from the slave trade (all of my ancestors have been in America since the 1600s and every immigrant that I trace back came from England). Here's a video I put together many years ago. ruclips.net/video/NIAqi06dJ-U/видео.html
Canadian, but we originally landed in British Colonial Virginia in the late 1500's after doing a tour of duty in Tyrone, then Kentucky, Indiana, Colorado and eventually Washington state before (gasp) illegally immigrating aka riding a horse, into Alberta in the 1920's. 94.5% British and Irish, mostly from the Southern Uplands of Scotland, Ulster and a smaller amount from West Yorkshire through my maternal Grandfather, then a remainder of Belgian Flemish and Scandinavian. Nearly everyone who's British, and certainly the Scots, Scots-Irish, general northerners as well as Irish-Irish, have a dollop of Scandinavian in their meat pie, 'cause of all the baby batter the vikings were non-consensually dishing out willy nilly.

There is no such thing as an ethnic DNA. Genetic DNA is based on most common DNA per region. For example celtic people were everywhere in Europe and ended up most common in isolated regions like the British isles, northern Spain, Northern France etc.. Also the Greek, Romans and Germanic tribes were all over Europe as well spreading DNA and mixing with everyone as was in asia with the Mongols fir example. According to the disclaimer with these test, it is for entertainment purposes only.

"How white am I"? That's a real shallow way to look at things. You should look at it as ethnicity and how interesting the history is instead of what skin color you obviously are.
If you knew anything about me you would know that the whole reason I took the test was because I was interested in the history. I put that on the thumbnail because I thought it would get more clicks, not because I don’t care about the history.
To anyone with a brain 🧠 it was clear that it was said with tongue and cheek.
No, you're not 96% British! Ireland is Not part of the British Isles.. so you are confused and mistaken.. You are only 59% British, as the Ancestry DNA chart shows..
The British Isles: Great Britain and Ireland along with the Isle of Man, the Hebrides, Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands and a couple of small islands.
You are wrong, Ireland was part of Great Britain for a very longtime so mixing over a period of time has added to the British gene pool !
I'm from Utah, the US state with the most British ancestry. 23andMe says I'm 58% British. The rest is Nordic, German and French. The only mild surprise was that I'm 1.5% North African. Too bad that didn't give me a bit of melanin. I sunburn if I part the curtains.
That is not what Utah is. This self-reported stuff is BS. Multiple states have a higher percentage of English DNA than Utah.
The German is Anglo Saxon
you look danish...
Im from Denmark myself. I agree, just looking at her, and her mom. The germanic/danish/anglo-saxon ancestry is extremely clear in the look.
@@Matstarx25 Genetically, danes are closer to dutch than us
@@ingrid9433 Im not sure who "us" is, but if its swedes, then yes, almost equally close.
She look Celtic too. Every Englishman has Celtic blood
@@ShireTommy_1916_Somme-Mametz bull shit lmao
Boring? You don’t think highly of your own ancestry...
Its stupid american media, that makes all white people from the anglo world unconfortable to celebrate their ancestry, thry think 90% of white people in América has slaves when that was just like 8% of them
@@francoisdaureville323Jim Crow followed slavery.
@@palmshoot And that’s what you get out of that? Don’t be ridiculous
@@IslenoGutierrez What's even more ridculous is you glorifying nature's RNG and cherrypicking only the history that satisfies your narrative.
@@palmshoot No, what’s ridiculous is you going to Jim Crow and slavery when my comment was about ancestry and not that history. It is your mind that went there, not mine. It is your aggression that presents here, not mine.
