Why does my DNA relate closer to the Dutch and North Germans than southern English, even though I and all my recorded ancestors are English?
DNA Nerds Question
You're a Viking rape baby.
because your earlier earlier ancestor are Dutch and North Germans
this is why the Czar Nicholas II is R1b
Noice. I don't mind being part kraut or toothpaste btw
interesting fact the original English died out and the ppl we call Englishman today are Irish and German nord roman ect very little of the celts post 1100 remain
It’s a pretty interesting site
Jesus. No English mentioned lol
What test did you use before you uploaded the data to this site?
Right, but you would still think my DNA would first say English

I’m Scottish but not that from lindisfarne, so maybe that’s why. Idk.
Far* fuck I need sleep
Dna tests are barely better than throwing darts at a board. Ask any ashkenashi who got apologized to after their test came back saying they were not Jewish or all the "native Americans" who tested as European.
I have read that right up to Edinburgh the Germanics settled. Scots and English really aren't very different despite what many Scots would like to believe
The Angles and Saxons became the English for the most part.
I am of nearly 100 percent English descent but my DNA is Scandinavian for the same reason. All those viking raiders established colonies along Western Europe and then Britain.
Interesting. Do they give regional breakdowns?
>Dna tests are barely better than throwing darts at a board.
Just threw the darts at the board, it said I'm 100% pure Sub-Saharan African. Specifically from the Congo.

Yeah Edinburgh was originally part of Northumbria until the Scots took it. That’s why we always get called sassenach by glasgow plebs
Yeah they do. Although one said possible ancestry in southwest France, so I don't know how accurate it is. I have no ancestors from there that I know of.
imagine unironically giving a private company your actual DNA so you can prove to autistic strangers on a tibetan shadow puppetry forum that you are white.
Bretons were replaced by Angles and Saxons, who were german tribes, so you're german descendant, there has been no "English" race since the beginning, sorry, bro.
because the english are actually both genetically and culturally a conglomerate. you are the beta-mutts pretty much.
The dutch are just isolated north-germans, their language is fairly similar but isolation made the changes to their language unique and slowly un-german. ethnically they are prime n-germans.
Feels good to see other results that look similar to mine. I expected more dutch in mine though based off my tree research.
I am half Egyptian half Slav and have more Roman ancestors according to this. But I can easily fit in within the balkans,north Italy or anywhere else in Europe phenotype wise
Regional breakdowns from the UK would be more informative. If your family is mostly from the North Sea coast or the Southwest coast, your results aren't surprising.
I was scared to open my results when I first got them. I feared 23andJew troll me and would say Jewish and African lol
That's exactly why I went with ancestry instead lmao. I was extremely relieved when I opened mine, everyone thought my second great grandmother was an indian rape baby dumpster drop off, but doesn't look to be so. I still can't find her parents though, its a shit feeling.
I don't think it's yet super accurate. I have no known ancestors in northwest England. All my ancestors in the past 300 years are from the east midlands.
Same reason the irish have red hair there was some struggle snuggling with some viking in your lineage
