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.
Both my parents were adopted so i had no idea of my heritage. (Im born and raised in nottingham england i have fair hair and green eyes) i did an ansestry dna thing and it turns out im half scotish and half “mixed up english” as in northan europe and scandanavia. Well 52 % scotish and 48 % “english” Turns out my mum is scotish and my dad is the mixed up english,. Im happy with that. 😊
Born and raised in Australia, now a US citizen, born to two Scots with our heritage traced back as far was we can without DNA tests. That makes me 100% Scottish.
Never knew I was almost half Scottish until my DNA test taken during Covid and so proud to know so. Such a feeling in the soul, 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. The bracken…the heather. *Sigh* Hand to the heart - i will be back to walk her trails again; i could stay and call it home every time♥️
@@escapetothecountrylife-tq3elOmg…epic. Congratulations, that!…(the bit of trail where i lost the way and was washed down the river, practically to Patterdale, lol.) Limping into Grasmere, I stayed a few in while having to recover. Lovely, wonderful people and those Shropshire sheep?! - the cutest of them all. How lucky to be able to go back, and so often. Thank you for your message, it’s so nice to meet and remember! Cheers, you…
This video is terrific - from the valuable genealogical info to the great narration and history , and even the top-notch graphics. Golly. THANK YOU. New sub
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!
Same here( ancient coat of arms warehime )we came from denmark but came with austro german blood aswell part of the Hanover faction of the 13 original colonies we built wareham and hanover towns all across the original colonies my family museum use to be the orphanage in xenia ohio the sailors and soldiers orphanage
Devon is ENGLAND. My relatives come from there in the 1840s and DNA,showed that too. We had one side with a reasonable coal mine in wales, turns out they were English too
Would anyone have any suggestions on what DNA test to use besides 23andme. I'd like to go back as far as a DNA test can go. I've already used the basic DNA test. TY
@@OffGridInvestorwe absolutely were not English , they love to paint it that way but Welsh history has been purposefully ignored or even deleted… even in Scotland the place name Aberdeen is of Welsh origin
Born and bred Scotland still live here .. second name Jaimeson .. my family go wayyyy back I have over 200 cousins on my mums side alone never mind my dads and they all Scottish aswell .. I am a proud Scotsman even have the flag above my bed 2 meters x 2 meters ❤
@evoinception I decend from the Curtis Clan still have one auntie uncle and cousins in Cumbernauld I'm proud of my Scottish blood my dad was English 😂 proud of that too an the banter they both had was great love and miss them both
My family fled from Skye during the highland clearances in the 1800’s all the way to Alberta Canada. my great grandparents ended up on Vancouver Island where I was born.
I have distant cousins in Vancouver (discovered through dna). That branch of my family ended up in North America during the clearances. I have a 4th cousin in North Carolina also.
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 grandmother's name was Agnes and her family left Glasgow and landed in New Brunswick, Canada and her family moved to Toronto, Ontario; she also moved to Garden Grove, California (my DNA revealed I am 50% Scottish)
Proud scottish lebanese here Two of my grandparents are from scotland, one fletcher, one mcphail, my mcphail grandmother married my lebanese papa here in the US. Also have a whelsh grandpa
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 🙂 OMG I sound Orwellian now LOL
Lmao I actually scrolled through the comments to see if anyone thought the same as I did 😂 WTF is that, a neanderthal? I'm not Scottish though, but I agree, they did you dirty!
I’m 40% Scottish on ancestry , scouser born and bred . Never knew of any Scottish ancestors so was a surprise to me (but a good one ). I only know one side of my family (my mums ) so obviously from my dad’s side .
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. The other surname involved is Harris
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.
I have red hair and green eyes. I’m just a hillbilly from Ohio. Then I did DNA and found I’m 1/3 Scottish. So many things add up now. I found out my people came here in the late 1700’s. Can’t wait to find out more.
My father was from Hillsboro in Firelands county. Can’t find a link from them to Scotland, but suspect the Scots-Irish is going to be the connection through western PA.
You do understand 95% of this conjecture. They dig up some ancient settlement take a few pottery shards, maybe some animal bones and build a story around it.
North eastern Englishman here. My DNA reveals I’m 49% Scottish, 17% Scandinavian and the rest English and north Western Europe. People mostly didn’t move much in the past
Lmao humans haven't sat still for a million years. Our view of time is so narrow we just think a glimpse to the past reveals more than it actually does. People have roamed across Europe and asia nonstop forever each race taking up a different names to different tribes.
It wasn't just the northern islands that saw Viking invasions. My paternal ancestry is lowland Scottish. My Y dna is Danish Viking I1, likely coming from the Great Heathen Army invasion of northeast England.
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.
@@alexbowman7582 it’s not “pidgin norse”, it’s just an incomplete “great vowel shift” that happened in most of England and is still happening - thanks to the exertions of schoolteachers and the BBC - in north-east England and Scotland.
Picts,scots'danes and scandinavians all fought against the romans at mon grapus,might be from there,scotland was a mish mash by this time but it still had to kick viking arses at largs.yes vikings were largely xtians at this point but the danes still tried there luck😂ever here the story how the danes tried sneaking up on the scots encampment by taking there shoes aff but walked intae a meadow full of thistles and many howled in agony giving their presence away and the element of suprise😂another doin' they recieved 😅
I’m from Campbeltown. It’s in the Kintyre peninsula, Argyll. People assume it is an Island, but it’s not. As far as I’m aware, we are the only Campbeltown in Scotland. What was your Nan’s surname? ✌🏻💚🏴
@ hi.. Her family name was Smith I believe. I had hoped to take her back there and see her school and home but she passed a couple years ago. I’ve looked on here and there is a fair bit of Cambelltown filmed so maybe she went there. I like to think so. Certainly is a beautiful place. She was the matriarch of a massive family. 5 kids,15/20 grandkids/12 great grandkids… she had a full life. She had a thick accent,it’s bringing a smile to me now. 😊. Miss you Gran. ❤️
@@beanythekidmy mother’s side are Campbell’s. Its not easy to search our ancestry in the US because it is the most common Scottish surname. They must have tried to banish all the Campbells.
Australian, Scottish 44% I am also 44% English I believe Campbell I remember as a wee child my GG mother spoke mostly Gallic. She passed when I was around 4-5. I am now 70.
Campbell is a Scottish name and the language would have been Scottish Gaelic. Gaelic is still spoken in Scotland as the government recognised (around the 1980s so a bit too late) that unless it was taught in schools it might disappear. 😊
DNA has unlocked a treasure trove of long buried information about our rich ancestry. Taking a DNA test has proven to be one of the most fascinating things I've ever done. 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.
@@knockshinnoch1950 You are right, most People of Nord Europe are related. I know, you will not belive it, all this false Informations makes it impossible. The Clue is they come from the Middel East! They are Isralites. Jesus sent his Disciples to the 12 lost Tribes of lsrael James 1:1 Matthew 10 :5-7 Not all Jews of the Tribe Judea are in Israel now, same have lost their identity. The Throne of King David is in London! The Prophet Jeremiah took two Princesses from Davids descendents to Irland ,later they spread to Scottland, and are now in England.

My results were a little disappointing. I already knew i was Scottish and Irish. I got 1% Welsh thrown in, but there's nothing from outside the British Isles. I've zero English genes either (which surprised me a little bit). Perhaps watching this I'll become a little more excited about my results x
I'm mostly Scottish/Irish according to the DNA test. My Dad was adopted in the 50s. We all have a mutant gene known as marfan syndrome, and we definitely found out the hardest way. As much as I'd like to go to Scotland, I'll settle for the Southern highlands of NSW, Australia. A lot of Scotts settled here 😊
You missed out the Anglo-Saxon settlement, the south east of the Low Lands had been speaking Old English since the 7th century due to the Kingdom of Benicia and the Kingdom of Northumberland after. There was a large Angle settlement between the Firth of Forth and the River Tweed.
Did you miss out the Anglo-Saxon history on purpose? You have a large Anglo-Saxon heritage in southern Scotland and you also have a large English and Irish migration during the industrial revolution and the Flemish, Polish and French that have had a genetic effect on Scotland over history.
@@connorparker6461 not as simple as that. In 972 the Scots took back that territory and a new swathe of Gaelic place names show refreshed settlement patterns. However, following the Norman conquest of England a newer group of Anglo-Saxons were allowed to settle in parts of south Scotland as political refugees. They were not allowed too close to the then border in case they became fifth columnists. They are represented by a handful of new Anglo-Saxon place names.
I managed to get the Scot DNA from both parents, making me 80%, more than either. I have the most amazing green eyes, which only got handed down to my granddaughter, along with my red hair, turned strawberry blonde to finally just blonde turning white. I’ve traveled most of Europe. I also went to Ireland, where I was told the name I was tracking, Sampson, was Scottish. I’ve never visited Scotland, but I think I will go there next. 😊❤
Hello; My grandfather was from Aberdeen, Scotland circa 1917; he and his father, moved from there, to first, Chicago. Ill. Then, they moved to Wilson. North Carolina. Within the same year. They were "Ennis". but my mother married ( their granddaughter) a "Campbell". Our family names are Ennis Campbell. Tough life for an interracial couple in the south circa 1917. My mother was born in 1920. All the best Shaun🦉of NYC 🗽
I’m a 1st generation Aussie.My dad was Scottish.I’ve got Scottish and Norwegian DNA.I have ancestry from Orkney.From the islands of Westray and papa Westray.
I’m Irish, Scotch and Welsh with a tiny trace of Scandinavian. For once family lore was pretty spot on. When we came to America, before the Revolution, we settled in a place called Scotland Neck, ( NC) . 😉
Fascinating. Though I was born in Glasgow my people are from Perth. Undeniably Scandi given my surname. Haldane. Literally half Dane. Thanks for this. Must show my dad.
Oh!! I’m a Glasgow girl whose family come from Perth too, I can’t find the origins of my paternal surname “Spowart” Possibly Flemish? Germanic? I can’t figure it out! It seems there are a fair few in the Fife area.
Born in Perth Scotland with around 300-400 years worth of family tree growing in and around Perthshire.. (as far back as we currently know) .. Raised in Perth Australia but haven't added any non scottish branches to the family tree yet..
'Time has diluted that genetic inheritance through admixture. The relationship between the hunters gatherers and their dogs adds another layer to this story'. Out of context this is quite a dark part of the video 😂
My son gifted me an Ancestry DNA test because I wanted to know how much Irish I was. My paternal great grandparents immigrated from Ireland. My maternal great grandparents from Germany. Turns out I'm Scottish, Welsh and German with a small bit of Irish. I had another test done to see my Viking heritage. I was 66% Viking. I know that's really a job title but it helps understand my Ancestry!
because that's what we are! we are all addicted to illegal drugs, prescription drugs or alcohol. Any scottish person who isn't is at least addicted to carbs and ultra processed food. We hold every record for ill health there is, as well as a lot of crime per capita titles 💪 🤴 🏴 🫡
My Scottishnancestors are my most recent immigrants to the US. Mother’s people came from Lanarkshire in 1838, although other members of that family came as early as 1800 to Canada, then down into Wisconsin.
@ I’ve been there and actually got to see my Ancestress’ house. It was a one story. Long stone building that is now perfect for a sheep shed. The owner had re-roofed it and gave me three slates from the roof to have as a keepsake! Lovely country, I wonder what they thought when they hit Wisconsin with all that water and thick forest! I see why they moved and retired to Indiana!
Did you know that the MacMillans are a tribe of Moray who derived from the ancient people of Kanateai one of the subsidiaries of the Northern Picts. See Scittish Clans and Family Names Their Arms Origins and Tartans by Roddy Martine. I am a McMillan, 93% Scottish,6% Irish a d 1% Romani.
Well he is a man from medieval times and had cleft palate, a split in the roof of the mouth that occurs when the tissue doesn't fuse together ... facial reconstruction possible thanks to a team from the National Museums Scotland ...
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.
Souson. With all these dna tests, we’re discovering that irish folks are basque. I didn’t show any Irish DNA despite having an ancestor from tipperary. I however had basque dna.
@emilyvee4922 not all Irish, but there was a Spanish fleet shipwrecked around Ireland in the 1500s(?), which contributed a lot of Mediterranean DNA to the gene pool
@@BigRed2of course they're are at first they were stewards till usurping the scots then the english and welsh throne making the first king of Great Britain a Scot!James Stewart the 6th of scotland the 1st of GB😮
Funny enough im British and Scottish and I was forced out of England by the English as well. Won’t be a part of the big replacement thanks. I just don’t know what I was thinking moving to Canada. Same thing here
I'm Anglo Saxon - so I must be from Normandy. What's funny to me, is that my surname - Kerr, has the family motto, translated from Latin "late, but, in earnest" I have a vision of some wee guy grabbing a brick and bolting into battle - sorry Im late - but I will make up for it 😂😂
I’be traced my Ancestry back to The Bruce, Glenn is my dad’s middle name, my brother and his son have Glenn as their middle names, my Grandmother was a Glenn, our clan is Campbell, Robert the Bruce’s daughter married a Glenn, and he was given The Bruce’s sword was given to his son-in-law, it’s in a museum somewhere in the UK.
I have a several times Great Grandmother named Elizabeth Dick who was married to Donald Sym who were from Perthshire Scotland. I don't remember the City though. By the time I knew my Great Grandmother Sym was spelled Sim. Also, My Great Grandmother Janet Thain, who I knew, was from Rathven Banffshire Scotland. These are on my mother's side of my family. 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. My mother Vivian Elizabeth Burnett married Ladislav William Petchnick whose parents came to the USA from Sylvania which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until after the Second World War. By the time I showed up we were in Washington State, USA. 🐈⬛🐈⬛👵My cats Teo, Twotwo and me.
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!
Mountains still play a crucial role in trait development amongst humans. It’s fascinating that here in Vermont the high valleys caused intermarriages that have produced dialects as well as longevity or facial features that last for generations
I’m American but I did an ancestry test last year and came to find I’m 49% Scottish and was able to trace my dad’s family back as far as I could go to 1501 to the Highlands. My family was the MacKay clan and I learned my 6th great grandfather was Rob Donn MacKay. So cool what these modern tools have opened for those of us who don’t have any known family history.
When I first did the dna test I was 40% Scot and about 20% English 6 years later I’m only 4% Scot and 65% English. I was born in the uk but left it with my family my mother became a family historian and I do have some Scottish ancestry I just didn’t inherit much Scot from both my parents who are each about 30% Scot. I inherited a lot of Irish some welsh some Scandinavia. My community’s are the Fydle coast and hull the humber. I have 4 grandparents all from British family’s. it’s really interesting my younger brother is going to get a dna pack and we will see how he inherited differently
My grandmother, full Scottish, had both a cleft palate and a hair lip. So when I saw the thumbnail, I wondered is this something in her DNA. She married a full Scotsman, so my mother is full Scottish. My mother was one of the most beautiful women on the planet and modeled when young. Does anyone know?
IDK but a Large majority of famous women known for their Beauty have one thing in Common - Scottish (and Irish) ancestry. I'm glad to have this ancestry as well. 😊
I'm an American but my paternal family left Nottingham in 1885. My mother's family immigrated at the same time from Ireland and Poland. I was told for 63 years that I'm 50% English 25% Irish, the remaing Polish. I just had my DNA test and discovered that I'm 44% Scottish! What a hoot! .....Pun intended.
A lot of Scots settled in Ireland 400 years ago then migrated to the US. Perhaps your mum’s descendants came to the US that way hence such a large chunk of Scots DNA appearing on your results!
I find it interesting how my Scottish ancestry mainly originated from Ireland, my ancestors settled in Scotland around the 1800s and were originally from the west coast of Ireland
I did a ‘23 and me’ genetic search, and it tells me I am 99.5% ‘British and Irish’. A disappointing result, as I thought I might have been given a little more detail than that. Is there a DNA search tool that can identify Pictish, Celt, Norman and perhaps narrow down parts of Scotland and Ireland? (My guess is ‘23 and me’ is an American based analysis and doesn’t include regions of Britain and Europe)
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.
Apparently, I am 53% Scots. Traced my GGrandmother to Stonehouse, her husband was from Edinburgh, and they settled in Watertown, Kansas in the 1800's... I'm now wondering what their lives were like, and what nudged them to go half a world away from Scotland...
Stonehouse in Scotland was a Weaving village many houses had their own looms . There is a section of the village which is under protection being a " Conservation Area" To find out more Google John Young Stonehouse he is a local historian and has published books. There were coal mines in the area also. All closed now. We have a micro climate here from the Clyde Valley it's milder and often sunny when 5miles down the toad has rain and snow.
My son is descended from MacDonalds from the isle of sky also. He is the last MacDonald from his family’s line. His father passed away 10 years ago when he was a baby, but he told us he was told that’s where they were from. Genetics are so interesting.
Very informative. My x3 great grandmother was from Aberdeenshire and I’ve inherited 15% of Scottish DNA. I’ve also inherited 15% Welsh, 20% Norway/Sweden. The remainder England. I guess I’m everyone in Britain. Interesting though, as I have always felt a kinship with Scotland, long before DNA testing. Thank you
I am of the early hunter gatherers. If I could find a portal to 12000BC Scotland, I would walk through without hesitation or trepidation. Then start warning them about the future house apes moving in with livestock and fixed living ideals. Mankind has been in constant decent since they took over. My grandfather was a Craig. His grandfather emmigrated from Kilmarnock, and his ancestors were from Riccarton. I have green eyes. Don't really need a DNA test to figure this out. And I won't be getting one to prove anything. Very proud of my Scottish ancestry. Sad about losing their independence to England.

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.
Hilarious 😂

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.

Both my parents were adopted so i had no idea of my heritage. (Im born and raised in nottingham england i have fair hair and green eyes) i did an ansestry dna thing and it turns out im half scotish and half “mixed up english” as in northan europe and scandanavia. Well 52 % scotish and 48 % “english” Turns out my mum is scotish and my dad is the mixed up english,. Im happy with that. 😊
How can anyone be 52% etc?
@ im asuming because one of my parents is full (100%) scotish. Which would make their child about 50%.
Maybe you have Afro-Romans to.

Never knew I was almost half Scottish until my DNA test taken during Covid and so proud to know so. Such a feeling in the soul,
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. The bracken…the heather. *Sigh* Hand to the heart - i will be back to walk her trails again; i could stay and call it home every time♥️
dna also allowed me to find out i’m half Scots and I’ve walked the Coast to Coast and spend many months each year in the Lake District - Grasmere

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 🙂
OMG I sound Orwellian now LOL

I’m 40% Scottish on ancestry , scouser born and bred . Never knew of any Scottish ancestors so was a surprise to me (but a good one ). I only know one side of my family (my mums ) so obviously from my dad’s side .
Liverpool m8.... not a surprise to anyone who knows a little history. Seriously lad... lol
@ seriously what ?
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.
The other surname involved is Harris
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.
My daughter did her DNA and we're descendants from the Orkney isles also. Can't wait to look up the history
How did the middle eastern link get in there ?
This is such an outstanding video. Absolutely wonderful!
thanks for your kind words and support ...
I have red hair and green eyes. I’m just a hillbilly from Ohio. Then I did DNA and found I’m 1/3 Scottish. So many things add up now. I found out my people came here in the late 1700’s. Can’t wait to find out more.

You do understand 95% of this conjecture. They dig up some ancient settlement take a few pottery shards, maybe some animal bones and build a story around it.

It wasn't just the northern islands that saw Viking invasions. My paternal ancestry is lowland Scottish. My Y dna is Danish Viking I1, likely coming from the Great Heathen Army invasion of northeast England.
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.
@@alexbowman7582 it’s not “pidgin norse”, it’s just an incomplete “great vowel shift” that happened in most of England and is still happening - thanks to the exertions of schoolteachers and the BBC - in north-east England and Scotland.

Campbell is a Scottish name and the language would have been Scottish Gaelic. Gaelic is still spoken in Scotland as the government recognised (around the 1980s so a bit too late) that unless it was taught in schools it might disappear. 😊

DNA has unlocked a treasure trove of long buried information about our rich ancestry. Taking a DNA test has proven to be one of the most fascinating things I've ever done. 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.
Yes, our ancestors who survived in much harsher conditions and made life possible for us today are always a source of inspiration ...

My results were a little disappointing. I already knew i was Scottish and Irish. I got 1% Welsh thrown in, but there's nothing from outside the British Isles. I've zero English genes either (which surprised me a little bit).
Perhaps watching this I'll become a little more excited about my results x
I'm mostly Scottish/Irish according to the DNA test. My Dad was adopted in the 50s. We all have a mutant gene known as marfan syndrome, and we definitely found out the hardest way. As much as I'd like to go to Scotland, I'll settle for the Southern highlands of NSW, Australia. A lot of Scotts settled here 😊
You missed out the Anglo-Saxon settlement, the south east of the Low Lands had been speaking Old English since the 7th century due to the Kingdom of Benicia and the Kingdom of Northumberland after.
There was a large Angle settlement between the Firth of Forth and the River Tweed.
Did you miss out the Anglo-Saxon history on purpose?
You have a large Anglo-Saxon heritage in southern Scotland and you also have a large English and Irish migration during the industrial revolution and the Flemish, Polish and French that have had a genetic effect on Scotland over history.
Anglo-Saxons weren't Scottish...
I mean, England, gets its name from the Anglo-Saxons.
12:30 there you go. It was mentioned
@@connorparker6461 not as simple as that. In 972 the Scots took back that territory and a new swathe of Gaelic place names show refreshed settlement patterns.
However, following the Norman conquest of England a newer group of Anglo-Saxons were allowed to settle in parts of south Scotland as political refugees. They were not allowed too close to the then border in case they became fifth columnists. They are represented by a handful of new Anglo-Saxon place names.

'Time has diluted that genetic inheritance through admixture. The relationship between the hunters gatherers and their dogs adds another layer to this story'.
Out of context this is quite a dark part of the video 😂
My son gifted me an Ancestry DNA test because I wanted to know how much Irish I was. My paternal great grandparents immigrated from Ireland. My maternal great grandparents from Germany. Turns out I'm Scottish, Welsh and German with a small bit of Irish. I had another test done to see my Viking heritage. I was 66% Viking. I know that's really a job title but it helps understand my Ancestry!
May i ask how it differentiated between Viking and simply Scandinavian, or Danish? Is the test that specific?
why use a smack head in the scottish genetics thumb nail? 😂
because that's what we are! we are all addicted to illegal drugs, prescription drugs or alcohol. Any scottish person who isn't is at least addicted to carbs and ultra processed food. We hold every record for ill health there is, as well as a lot of crime per capita titles 💪 🤴 🏴 🫡

The owner had re-roofed it and gave me three slates from the roof to have as a keepsake! Lovely country, I wonder what they thought when they hit Wisconsin with all that water and thick forest! I see why they moved and retired to Indiana!
Clan Adamson here 🇺🇸🏴!!!!
There was supposed to be an Orcadian kingdom in Pictish times which was at times in conflict with the Pictish kings.
Clan McMillan reporting ! 🏴 💪🏻
Did you know that the MacMillans are a tribe of Moray who derived from the ancient people of Kanateai one of the subsidiaries of the Northern Picts. See Scittish Clans and Family Names Their Arms Origins and Tartans by Roddy Martine. I am a McMillan, 93% Scottish,6% Irish a d 1% Romani.
@ wow! That’s new information to me.
Clan MacDougall (family surname is Dow)
Scotland is a beautiful contry, great nature
It really is!
Scottish and live by lochlomond . And I learned so much from this
As a scottish man that thumnail is insulting 😂
Well he is a man from medieval times and had cleft palate, a split in the roof of the mouth that occurs when the tissue doesn't fuse together ... facial reconstruction possible thanks to a team from the National Museums Scotland ...
@evoinception and you had to choose that one rather than anyone else 🤣 you're a muffin
@@jackdotblue Not horrible at all
@@evoinception na you’ve just taken a picture of some junkball at four corners.
My Scottish husband is a little on the hairy side so not too far off, lol.
47% Scottish 33.3 Scandinavian. So far I found my ancestors coming from Dundee Scotland. Septs of Gordon house
I am beyond proud of my Scottish heritage ❤
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.
No it's not a true % - it's just made up trash by a US ancestry business.
Souson. With all these dna tests, we’re discovering that irish folks are basque. I didn’t show any Irish DNA despite having an ancestor from tipperary. I however had basque dna.
@emilyvee4922 not all Irish, but there was a Spanish fleet shipwrecked around Ireland in the 1500s(?), which contributed a lot of Mediterranean DNA to the gene pool
Stewart’s are not scottish 😊
@@BigRed2of course they're are at first they were stewards till usurping the scots then the english and welsh throne making the first king of Great Britain a Scot!James Stewart the 6th of scotland the 1st of GB😮
I'm Scottish. Our family was driven out of Scotland by English. Specifically the family name Campbell's. Our family my descendants moved to Canada .
MacGregor?
Funny enough im British and Scottish and I was forced out of England by the English as well. Won’t be a part of the big replacement thanks. I just don’t know what I was thinking moving to Canada. Same thing here
Excellent.
Many thanks!
I'm Anglo Saxon - so I must be from Normandy. What's funny to me, is that my surname - Kerr, has the family motto, translated from Latin "late, but, in earnest" I have a vision of some wee guy grabbing a brick and bolting into battle - sorry Im late - but I will make up for it 😂😂
Andrew Kerr the 1960s actor was a 3rd cousin of mine.
Alright Wan. (Apologies)
@@annoyeduk 😂😂😂
@@margaretkerr4591Saxons were not from Normandy.
My uncle Bigoll Bawsak was from Didyehaye, Texas! (Somewhere in the Big Thicket in deep East Texas - near Reklaw) 🌲🌲🌲
Maternal haplogroup H here, with over half my ancestry being from Scotland. This is fascinating.
Thanks for kind words ...
Brydon here from Roxborough before the Norman conquest my family held lands here
I am Slovenian. And my DNA results showed I am 2.5% Scottish. I have no idea how. But I am incredibly proud!!!!
Both my Ross and MacCullach lines are R1a1a which is the same as Tarim Basin man.
I’be traced my Ancestry back to The Bruce, Glenn is my dad’s middle name, my brother and his son have Glenn as their middle names, my Grandmother was a Glenn, our clan is Campbell, Robert the Bruce’s daughter married a Glenn, and he was given The Bruce’s sword was given to his son-in-law, it’s in a museum somewhere in the UK.
Scottish/Irish/Keltic ancestors makes me indigenous with 3000 years of history.
that is wonderful heritage you have ...
I have a several times Great Grandmother named Elizabeth Dick who was married to Donald Sym who were from Perthshire Scotland. I don't remember the City though. By the time I knew my Great Grandmother Sym was spelled Sim. Also, My Great Grandmother Janet Thain, who I knew, was from Rathven Banffshire Scotland. These are on my mother's side of my family. 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. My mother Vivian Elizabeth Burnett married Ladislav William Petchnick whose parents came to the USA from Sylvania which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until after the Second World War. By the time I showed up we were in Washington State, USA. 🐈⬛🐈⬛👵My cats Teo, Twotwo and me.
What’s the best DNA test provider to get to the nitty gritty on my Scottish ancestry and beyond that?
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!
Mountains still play a crucial role in trait development amongst humans. It’s fascinating that here in Vermont the high valleys caused intermarriages that have produced dialects as well as longevity or facial features that last for generations
My DNA is 30% scottish, 15 Irish, 5% Welsh and then 30% French. The rest is Nordic and Irish. This is fascinating. Thank you.
Irish/German here. My Great-Great Grandparents were immigrants to the USA in 1885.
I’m over 70 percent Scottish. The rest wales and Ireland. I’m so proud 🏴
I’m American but I did an ancestry test last year and came to find I’m 49% Scottish and was able to trace my dad’s family back as far as I could go to 1501 to the Highlands. My family was the MacKay clan and I learned my 6th great grandfather was Rob Donn MacKay. So cool what these modern tools have opened for those of us who don’t have any known family history.
wonderful heritage you have, thanks for sharing ...
When I first did the dna test I was 40% Scot and about 20% English 6 years later I’m only 4% Scot and 65% English. I was born in the uk but left it with my family my mother became a family historian and I do have some Scottish ancestry I just didn’t inherit much Scot from both my parents who are each about 30% Scot. I inherited a lot of Irish some welsh some Scandinavia. My community’s are the Fydle coast and hull the humber. I have 4 grandparents all from British family’s. it’s really interesting my younger brother is going to get a dna pack and we will see how he inherited differently
My grandmother, full Scottish, had both a cleft palate and a hair lip. So when I saw the thumbnail, I wondered is this something in her DNA. She married a full Scotsman, so my mother is full Scottish. My mother was one of the most beautiful women on the planet and modeled when young. Does anyone know?
IDK but a Large majority of famous women known for their Beauty have one thing in Common - Scottish (and Irish) ancestry.
I'm glad to have this ancestry as well. 😊
Reid here

..cool vid..
I'm an American but my paternal family left Nottingham in 1885. My mother's family immigrated at the same time from Ireland and Poland. I was told for 63 years that I'm 50% English 25% Irish, the remaing Polish. I just had my DNA test and discovered that I'm 44% Scottish! What a hoot! .....Pun intended.
A lot of Scots settled in Ireland 400 years ago then migrated to the US. Perhaps your mum’s descendants came to the US that way hence such a large chunk of Scots DNA appearing on your results!
I find it interesting how my Scottish ancestry mainly originated from Ireland, my ancestors settled in Scotland around the 1800s and were originally from the west coast of Ireland
Probably came to Scotland looking for employment as many Irish people did after the English starved them.
Look up Irish Famine
I did a ‘23 and me’ genetic search, and it tells me I am 99.5% ‘British and Irish’.
A disappointing result, as I thought I might have been given a little more detail than that.
Is there a DNA search tool that can identify Pictish, Celt, Norman and perhaps narrow down parts of Scotland and Ireland?
(My guess is ‘23 and me’ is an American based analysis and doesn’t include regions of Britain and Europe)
I’m
Scottish but my dna says 29% Irish
43% Scottish
5% English and northwestern European 21% Deccan and gulf of Manner and
2% Southwest India🙂
My father's people were partly from Northern Ireland. The West coast of Scotland and Northern Ireland trading partners and close ethnically.
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.
Apparently, I am 53% Scots. Traced my GGrandmother to Stonehouse, her husband was from Edinburgh, and they settled in Watertown, Kansas in the 1800's... I'm now wondering what their lives were like, and what nudged them to go half a world away from Scotland...
That’s a wonderful piece of family history you’ve uncovered, and a story worth exploring!
Stonehouse in Scotland was a Weaving village many houses had their own looms . There is a section of the village which is under protection being a " Conservation Area"
To find out more Google John Young Stonehouse he is a local historian and has published books.
There were coal mines in the area also. All closed now.
We have a micro climate here from the Clyde Valley it's milder and often sunny when 5miles down the toad has rain and snow.
Macdonald of Isle of skye, Macneil of Barra In the hebrides. We are Pict/norse/Gaels. On my mothers side its Danish/french/northern germanic
My son is descended from MacDonalds from the isle of sky also. He is the last MacDonald from his family’s line. His father passed away 10 years ago when he was a baby, but he told us he was told that’s where they were from. Genetics are so interesting.
Very informative. My x3 great grandmother was from Aberdeenshire and I’ve inherited 15% of Scottish DNA. I’ve also inherited 15% Welsh, 20% Norway/Sweden. The remainder England. I guess I’m everyone in Britain.
Interesting though, as I have always felt a kinship with Scotland, long before DNA testing.
Thank you
thanks for you kind words ...
Fit like ...hello in the mithir tongue o aibirdeenshire
Really informative video great work
Glad you liked it!
My sister did the genealogy thing. We’re English and Scottish, with a hint of Irish. Three of us are redheads. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
I am of the early hunter gatherers. If I could find a portal to 12000BC Scotland, I would walk through without hesitation or trepidation. Then start warning them about the future house apes moving in with livestock and fixed living ideals. Mankind has been in constant decent since they took over.
My grandfather was a Craig. His grandfather emmigrated from Kilmarnock, and his ancestors were from Riccarton. I have green eyes. Don't really need a DNA test to figure this out. And I won't be getting one to prove anything. Very proud of my Scottish ancestry. Sad about losing their independence to England.
The Kirkland family came from Kirkland county in southern Scotland but have Israeli ancestry.
