    Ive managed to trace my ancestry right down to the Pictish King - Bawsak. The main DNA that I carry was first mapped and discovered in the Clan Fleetoyabass. Ancient scholars maintan this clan would consume a magic potion brewed by Monks in an English Abbey - it was a sweet tasting nectar known locally as a "Tonic". The potion would be the first step in an ancient ritual known as a "square go". After the ritual was finished, the men of the clan would gather around eating long thin slices of meat - usually prepared over a flame and accompanied with some exotic spices. Ah, to live in simpler times - John Nebdy from Didyehaye, Texas.

    This is a great video. As I sit here, a few metres away on the coast from where my Mesolithic Scottish ancestors once lived, I ponder on my own DNA results, a direct line to the NW Highlands, Vikings and strangely King James IV (15th GG). As I walk the coast here I occasionally find stone tools, which the museum gladly takes for review, and wonder how much it's changed over the past 10,000 years... I relate a lot to those ancestors, not only as I'm 97% Celtic, but as I feel connected to them through the landscape here on my doorstep, I walk every day. Thanks for making the video.

    20 years ago I traveled through Scotland, England and Ireland and had such a feeling when coming into Scotland-like I was home. The feeling was repeated again when walking the Wainwright Trail across England, ending south of Whitby. Each time I Weirdly gained energy approaching the moors -- i absolutely love them.

    Spent my entire life thinking I was Welsh because of my surname and the fact the earlist traceable relative in the States was a 'Welsh Tradesman' according to the ship's log. With the fortune of having a prominent pastor/educator in the mid 19th century allowed me to directly trace my paternal ancestry to Devon in 1358. He was listed in the census as a 'London Businessman'. That's as far as I got using paper records.
    My sister and I did both a 23 and Me and Ancestry. Our dna breakdowns were exactly the same on both platforms and with one another. 40% Scot, 34% Irish, 12% Anglo-Saxon, 9% Swede/Dane, 4%Dutch and 1% Flemish. Our whole family was astonished. We were certain we were of Welsh heritage. lol The provable thing is that our family has been in the States for 400+ years. One of our ancestors signed the Declaration Of Independence, sat in the House of Burgesses, helped hammer out the Constitution, Bill Of Rights and served as Speaker Of The House. Virtually all our ancestry can be traced back to and through either Virginia and/or Tennessee. The surnames are all either Jackson or Jones paternally.
    The Irish part was revealed to be 100% from the Connaught region and the Scottish from largely the east coast around Edinburgh. According to this video that may be from where this odd 1% Flemish is from as well.
    Cheers, everybody!

    One of my great-grandmothers, Agnes, left Glasgow in her youth and came to San Diego, California. Long story short, among the many other components of my genetic heritage, there’s both Scottish and Yaqui, an indigenous tribe from around the borders of what is now California, Arizona, and Mexico. I’m proud to be a mutt, and, as this video shows, most of us are to some extent, even if some of us have to look farther back than others. And it’s absolutely possible to be proud of both each individual component and the combination of them. Compare what happens when people breed amongst a very small community (if you know what I mean) to those who include more variety, and see which is healthiest, eh? It also makes for more interesting stories. One of the things I love best about history (objective history, that is) and biology, including/especially genetics, is how it shows us the truth of who we are, and that we’re all more the same than we are different. We’ve all been wandering the planet trying to be safe, healthy, and happy as best we can, take care of our loved ones, make life a bit better, get through the rough stuff, and maybe figure out some big mysteries… for as long as we’ve been around. The circumstances change, but we’re basically the same animals, no matter where or when we are, and definitely no matter what we look like. And other animals, well, ok, I’ll leave it there for now. Just remember folks, the lines we draw between each other, are mostly imaginary and changeable - and sometimes they do more harm than good. We’re all just different flavors of human. Ok maybe flavor is creepy, but you know what I mean. Let’s all learn our history so we can choose what to cherish and what not to repeat. Take care of others and you take care of yourself. And any other good platitudes… 🌍🕊️🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜💖

    My father has his family tree from his maternal side (Grandy) and we've been able to piece our genealogy together all the way back to the 1720s in the Channel Islands, but the next kin were born here in Newfoundland. We also knew that his paternal side, his father, had Scottish ancestry but the stories are old and my own father and uncles don't know them as clearly as they used to be handed down, but we know that our family (and the name Rose) came from Scottish Highlands in the 1700s. Our particular branch resides now in Newfoundland, Canada, but there are many enough Roses in other parts of Canada and America, and a Facebook group for Roses who trace their lineage back to Scotland where we share our information. I would love to be able to find solid roots of lineage, but I haven't had the time or money to go down that rabbit hole yet.
    Actually, funnily enough, I met somebody in my very building who is a Rose with a similar family immigration story with tales of Scotland, Normandy, and Vikings lol and family that lived in nearby locations of Bay towns in Newfoundland. I would be more shocked to find out that me and him have no relation than to find the link that connects us.
    I'm a bit embarrassed to say it, but after watching Outlander I started to become interested in our ancestry and I have found many many interesting stories from it.
    I would really like to do a DNA test, but I am held back due to the Orwellian idea that information like that can be bought and used against us. Maybe it's a conspiracy hat to wear, but I fear for my children and grandchildren's futures if they become affected due to my personal interest in DNA and knowing the story of our family. Do I want to hand down that story in trade for privacy? I don't know yet. It's all very interesting; genealogy, ancestry, DNA tracing, medical advancements, but also privacy laws and lack of consumer protection.. what a world we live in

      It doesn’t matter anymore, due to genealogical DNA tracing. Chances are high that a relative of yours has taken a DNA test already, allowing you to be identified through your family tree.
      In other words… your future generations have already been made identifiable- and if you commit a crime, don’t leave any DNA behind 😉
      If you’re concerned about (life and disability) insurance and health markers, don’t be. By the time insurance can be denied for that, you can be sure a DNA test will be prerequisite.
      So go ahead! Get a test 🙂

    I traced my family back to 1537 in England, so I assumed I was English. I had my DNA done to find I am 91.xx% Orcadian and 8.xx% Middle Eastern. It was quite a surprise. So, I sent a DNA test to my brother, and his results came back 96.xx% Orcadian and 3.xx% Middle Eastern.
    Apparently, my family of Tutford left Orkney and went to England as Thelford and ended up in Newfoundland by the 1601 census as Titfords. Not surprisingly, they were boat builders, and the name spelling was dependent on the scribe.

      My paternal grandparents parents were from NF and they'd spent 200 years up there before they moved to Boston and met and married there at the turn of the century with my father being born in 1912. The family name was Chafe or Chaffee (different spellings). Half were Catholic and half were Anglican. My Dad said he traced his ancestors back to Normandy and the name related to 'chasser' as French word for the makers of armor for William the Conquerer. This may or may not be true.

      The Great Heathen army or contemporary the Meikle haeben heer, meikle is still used in the Doric dialect and I think is where “taking the micky” comes from or taking the most, heer is still the German word for army. Some words in Geordie are obviously from Norse but here in Glasgow and Scotland we still speak pidgin Norse. We say huis (house) haim (home) nae mer (no more) brun koo (brown cow) doo (pidgin) bra (great) och aye den nu (and yes the now). When the Meikle Haeben Heer invaded Scotland and England were seperate countries and I would suggest your Danish DNA may result from a more recent family member or from Irish descendants.

      I1 is also Anglo-Saxon and they settled the south east of Scotland, it is very difficult to genetically distinguish Anglo-Saxons and Danes as they were almost the same people, infact the Danes were the neighbouring tribe of the Angles and Jutes, the Danes moved into Jutland when the Angles and Jutes left for Britain.
      Danish settlement was very rare in Scotland, the vast majority was in the north eastern part of England and the midlands.
      Most Germanic ancestry in the south east low lands come from the Angles.

I have learned so much about my roots and have a far greater understanding of self and how I got here. The increased knowledge of so many "lost" ancestors over the generations has been emotional and inspirational in a way I could never have imagined. I feel far more connected to the history of Scotland, Ireland, America, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Scandinavia. I've made contact with relatively close DNA cousins and have discovered how similar many or us look and even in the professions that keep recurring down through the generations.

    The DNA I carry from the UK is from the northernmost coasts of Scotland, Ireland and Wales - all Norse settlement areas, I believe. Also have 16% from Norway and Iceland, and a soussant of Basque. It was so surprising. My Scot ancestor was a Stewart, fought in the American Revolution. It's fun to see where your people evolved, the many threading paths that created us.

I dream of buying a winning Lottery Ticket so I can go to Scotland and meet any of their families who are also mine! My grandmother Mary Frances Sim married Joseph Burnett, Janet Thain Burnett's son. I named them Pappy and Granny me being the eldest grandchild.

    Mine specifically come from the Highlands of Scotland and Central Lowlands! Originally we're Connelly, but Captain Henry Connelly wanted to shorten it to Conley for distinction 5 generations ago! The main Conley Clan settled in the Eastern Kentucky area and our ancestors decend from Armagh/Belfast NI and had migrated from Scotland! This is just 1 of 5 different bloodlines I have from England, Scotland, Germany, Irish, Denmark! My Pack ancestry is really a mystery and harder to find out about although some of my relatives say we come from Scotland, but I am 60% English, so where do I get this from specifically!? My mom's mom's side the Rupel family comes from Germany and I am 14%! I'm 16% Scottish Highlands! The only Irish I can say for certain I get mine from is from the McKenney family as the closest! I'm 7% Danish, but originally it was said I was 4% Norwegian instead since they share similar DNA 🧬 chromosomes and other things! I have no idea yet where this comes from except maybe during the time of German intermixing and occupation in Denmark maybe even England! One day I hope to trace that person back to who I get my Danish bloodline! My 7nth great grandma is Nancy E. Hicks and was a part of the Five Civilized Tribes and her Roll Number 5340 proves this part, but I myself have absolutely no trace of Cherokee blood myself unless I'm wrong then let me know!

    Is there a DNA search tool that can identify Pictish, Celt, Norman and perhaps narrow down parts of Scotland and Ireland?

    The modern ethnically British person is incredibly mixed. With Western European hunter gatherors who were in southern Britain during the ice age with more arriving as the ice retreated(like cheddar man. The western hunter gatherors are who witnessed one of the largest tsunamis the world has ever seen aka the Storegga slide), the Neolithic farmers of Britain (who built the megaliths in Britain), the Beaker peoples (who built the specific beaker style pottery), then people who came up from France who are related to the ancient Neolithic populations that were there (who may have introduced the Celtic languages to Britain), then the Romans (who largely left), Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Flemish, French… I had a bit of an identity crisis learning this but am grateful to be so mixed with so many different cultures through the eras. What interests me the most is the Neolithic farmers, and how we share that ancestry with some people in the Fertile Crescent. Insane stuff, feels like discovering long lost family marked by familiarity but also undeniable differences that time ☀️ and change has brought over the different space the Neolithic foot and others wandered.
