So what is throwing you off here is: Your "Irish" is likely Ulster Scots who went back and forth between N Ireland and West Highlands in the 1500s to late 1600s and LOTS of them immigrated to North America. And Ulster Scots frequently had Irish last names from the adaptations in N Ireland settlements. Then British NW Europe is Anglo Saxon- who settled in about half of England and in the same spots with the Vikings who both raided and created trading settlements. Dublin Ireland is heavily Viking for example. And any last name of -son will be from a Viking line even in England. The Welsh probably came from a marriage on the English side once immigrated, as that is a LARGE chunk but AS Brits and full Welsh were on opposite sides of the nation in England. Last names like Davies Lewis etc are Welsh not English so review family names even if immigration papers say English or British as they were citizens. And you know who brought in the German heritage so no need to explain how, just that they are using blood types that match to broad regions where they are dominant. Btw you actually look more Ulster Scots and Viking mix: the lean build and face, sharp line to nose, pale but yellow undertone skin, strong light red hair coloring (not Irish but Scots heritage there). I would think you are above average height too, but the Welsh may bring down height as they veer shorter and stocky.
I took both Ancestry and 23andMe, also I done a family tree. I am half Korean, roughly 1/4 Scottish/Scots-Irish (Ulster/Northern Ireland) with some English, roughly 7/32 German, including Swiss-German and a little Alsatian, rest is small amount of Irish, French, Flemish (Belgian) and Dutch. Ancestry results: 50% Korea, 29% Scotland, 8% Sweden & Denmark, 6% Germanic Europe, 4% England & NW European, 3% Ireland. 23andMe results: 51.3% Korean, 47.2% French & German, 1% British & Irish, 0.4% Broadly NW European, 0.1% Unassigned
I've taken a couple. I was gifted a National Geographic one a few years back and was so so on the results. In 2021 I did the Ancestry DNA one. It fit a lot better with what I know. I'm in to genealogy and know that a few lines of my family are from Northern Ireland and Scotland. It had me as 59% England and Northwestern Europe, 26% Scotland,10% Ireland, 4%Wales, and 1% Sweden and Denmark.
That is because in terms of DNA half-siblings, full 1st cousins, aunts/uncles and grandparents share the about the same amount of cM with us (~25%), they will sometimes default to something like cousin instead of half-sibling or uncle-grandparent due to age differences, or because the amt. of cM is closer to be one than the other. In order to understand a bit more the results, you need to remember the history of the countries, how many times they intermingled, changed borders, were part of other countries, hundreds of years ago, some countries didn't exist, borders change.... and because you were born in that country (even if the family can be traced for centuries) means that your genes are from that "country", take for instance the history of Ireland, Scotland and England for example, the history of France and Germany and how there is an area that was part of both countries back and forth (Alsace), some people referred as themselves as Germans while others as French, ^_^ (same with Spain and France and Spain and Portugal)
Being specific on origen of country is very difficult because boundaries for countries changed due to war. And of course there was some traveling going on throughout the centuries of migration.
I have done both ancestry and 23&me. They seem pretty right on with the countries but the percentages seemed off. My guess is that certain nationalities such as German during WW1&2 and Russian during the cold War were kept on the down low so I had heard a little but not much about those nationalities but were huge in my dna. English, Scottish and Irish were the main I had heard but percentages were very very small!
It's not necessarily the Vikings: the British have quite a bit of Scandinavian blood too. Ever heard of the Danelaw or the city of Jorvik (currently York)?
I did ancestry. Parents are from: My mom: Irish (her mom) & Bohemia(Czech Rep./German)(her dad). My dad: both parents Italy(Sicily). So I should be, theoretically: 50% Italian, 25% each Irish n "Bohemia", which was when my grandfather family left, still a independent Principality. The "magic numbers are": Ireland 26% Germanic Europe 23% Southern Italy 17% Northern Italy 11% Now surprises: The Balkans 13% Greece and Albania 5% Scotland 3% and...Northern Africa 2% which equals 100%. These results were from November of 2021 and they were an update from the original numbers they did over a year before this. At first more surprised by the Balkans #. But the numbers make sense. Sicily. Everybody throughout history has gone through the Island. And I'm sure lots of people from the Balkans have migrated down into Northern Italy and farther down the boot.
I took multiple of them and been studying genealogy for over 10 years now first thing you got to remember is DNA does not care about borders borders have constantly changed over the time of history second thing you have to remember the people migrated and immigrated to other places bringing their culture system third thing to remember is you have to build a family tree and not just rely on DNA so that way you know specifically where someone came from and what region
I have taken this test...Look at the migration patterns, specifically genetic connections and known migration patterns of your family, historically. Then compare to the charts to determine weather your "guestimations" are close or NOT!!
Many countries in Europe didn't exist until relatively recently in the form they are now, eg Germany, and borders have changed over the years. A lot of people from the British Isles have Scandinavian DNA. You also need to read up on the migrations between Scotland & Ireland over the centuries. I believe it puts England in with North Western Europe because around 30% of English DNA is from the Anglo-Saxon migrations so it's difficult to separate out from regions in what is now Denmark & Germany. Wales lies to the west of England, as does the other west Celtic speaking region Cornwall.
I have taken three DNA tests including Ancestry and they were all the same. By the way Scottish, Irish and Welch are all Celtic origin. What is the Ireland/Scotland/Wales DNA ethnicity on ancestry? The Irish, Welsh, and Scots all have a Celtic ancestry, but they settled their respective regions before the Roman conquest of Britain. The Ireland/Scotland/Wales region is located in the northwest “corner” of the European continent. The Kennedy surname is both Irish and Scottish. All the half siblings are reported as cousins. Look up the amount of cM's to know the probable relationships. I was 60% Wales 34% Scotland 4% Ireland. My maiden surname is McGee.
The England and North Western Europe does not include Ireland, it includes part of mainland Europe, NW France, Belgium and Netherlands, because of migration though history its hard to identify the difference between people either side of the channel. The Kennedy name can be confusing, as there are two distinct and unconnected groups of Kennedy's one from Ireland and one from Scotland, in both cases it is an anglicised version of a Gaelic name. The Scots came from Ireland about one and a half thousand years ago, so that might be your most recent connection to Ireland. I think you can trust the DNA on this one, unless you have family history connecting you to Ireland. Even if you do have a history saying you have ancestors from Ireland, they might still be ethnically Scots, as in the 17th Century, large numbers of protestant Scots settled in northern Ireland. Many of those became emigrants to America, what are known as Scots Irish, literally Scots who had lived in Ireland.
The Kennedys claimed a blood kinship with the Earl of Carrick and supported Robert the Bruce during the Wars of Scottish Independence.[2] In 1372, Robert II of Scotland rewarded John Kennedy of Dunure as chief of his name and baillie of Carrick.[2]
you guys made a comment about the dog not being what you think you guys could do pet dna tests. your half brother shows up as a cousin because you share the same amount of dna wit a half sibling as you would with a cousin. with all of your European (uk particularly) dna you should try living dna its uk based and might give you more exact areas than ancestry does (you can transfer dna to the site for free sometimes)
Kennedy is my first name and I've only met one other person with Kennedy as a first name so I dont need to worry about someone calling my name but to another person so that's nice no offense to Brittney's and ect.
I have ancestry as well and it list Ireland as it's own thing. I have England & northwestern Europe 51, then Scotland 20, then Ireland 14 ,Sweden & Denmark 11 with germanic europe 4 as last percentage title
There are two Kennedy families: one is Irish (Ó Cinnéide in Gaelic) and the other Scottish (MacUalraig in Gaelic). They are not related. Chilton is an English name, but geographically challenged Americans think that England is Britain.
I guess if we get a NotPaulGG2 channel then we know they are pretty good with DNA. Other than that... dookie on the results quality of any of these identify programs you pay for. They just living the big life pumping out guesses.
Yes so?? Is that bad?? And what do you mean by basically hes european?? Im french we have our own culture and it got nothing to do with slavic or germanic or Báltic or Scandinavian culture we arent one big country we are a continent we got difrent countries with difrent history etnic origins and cultures
I just like to preface it is in a sense broad, but you have to think that way back in the day like the 1790s they didn’t have a good system of keeping track of where every single person went in the world. Also, Germany wasn’t a country way back when so it is someone could have traveled from Lithuania to Germany. Also, Russia was a lot bigger back then so it is in a sense broad but is also very specific. You can’t trace your ancestry back very well, because we do not know where every single person traveled at every single exact minute who they exactly hung out with at what exact time and who married who, and who had children with who. It’s very hard to distinguish that so it is still very specific but I do see the sense where is broad.
They are actually 57% but those are the puré whites there are many latinos who are white to, and many other mixed race people who are mostly white so it goes up but i dont know
@@francoisdaureville323 not really many only miamis Cuban population has a significant full European population that's not at all common for other Latinos and even then Latinos don't have any Scandinavian ancestry and all half white American half African Americans are mostly white because of African Americans European ancestry but that doesn't make them white they're mixed but yeah they might have Scandinavian in them but even if all mixed and European Americans had Scandinavian they wouldn't amount to anything near 90% of the population
@@Huasipungero white isnt Scandinavian, 57% of white americans are anglo americans, many latinos are white or mostly white but obviusly they dont say that and there are many mixed race people who look moslty white to,
@@Huasipungero obviusly not 90% but white americans including all white people not just anglo americans are atleast 70% of the population the other 30% are asians blacks and latinos who are very brown, or mostly native americans
@@francoisdaureville323 no tf.. 💀 Usas European American population is diverse its not like they're all anglos tf are you on LMFAO and being mostly white doesn't make you white the majority of "mostly white" Latinos could never pass as white

Ancestry DNA is very accurate, so if you know how to read maps it should be very easy to figure it out

I have Scottish Kennedy as well...and yes they were from Scotland. And first cousin is a default setting.
Welsh people settled in Ireland during the Norman phase of invasion from Britain.
I did ancestry. Parents are from: My mom: Irish (her mom) & Bohemia(Czech Rep./German)(her dad). My dad: both parents Italy(Sicily).

The "magic numbers are":
Ireland 26%
Germanic Europe 23%
Southern Italy 17%

Now surprises:
The Balkans 13%

Side note: my dad's mother's family had originally been from northern Italy
Ancestry origins and percentages have changed multiple times since I tested my DNA. I'm not confident in them at all. Gedmatch is much more accurate.

I did both and both were similar results but it seemed like 23andMe gave more in-depth results
I done 23 and me and it just gave me 100 percent british and irish where as ancestry separates them which i rather.
it’s because germanic is an ethnicity not a nationality...
Jen should also take one from this one and compare it to 23 and me :D and maybe Paul take one from 23 and me :P

It's something we are looking into lol
