What is your ancestry?

Post Reply New Topic

Mostly French and English ancestry with some Irish and Scandinavian on the side.

I'm not sure how I feel about trying to associate autism with ethnicity, but I'm a sucker for statistics, so here are mine (I did one of those genetic tests - not sure why they don't add up to 100%):

42% British/Irish
39% German
4% Scandinavian
>1% Ashkenazi Jewish, Spanish, SE African

Mostly Danish/Scottish (Highlands), with a little French thrown in.

Father's side is mostly Hispanic that traces to Spain and one line onward to the Canary Islands. There's also a few infusions of Comanche.

Mother's side is German Swiss, French, and a a little lesser Swedish & English.

As far as I know, 100% pure Vietnamese.

German, French, Scottish to the best of my know. My psychic development teacher told me I had elf blood.

I was adopted so I have no clue.

I've tested on both 23andMe and AncestryDNA. Roughly half English from my dad, and half German from my mother (both sites have gotten much better at identifying German ancestry in the last year or two; my mother's German paper trail was extensive, but at first this ancestry of mine was underreported on both sites). Some trace Swedish from my dad and some trace Norwegian from my mother (both also confirmed via paper trail). Also trace amounts of Eastern European/Russian from my mother, likely from Hutterite ancestors based on percentages of my 23andMe DNA Relatives.

The autistic traits are on my mother's side. She herself wasn't, but my older half-brother almost certainly is, and my mother's own mother (my maternal grandmother) likely was as well.

Here are my results from a recent 23andMe test I did:

61.6% British & Irish
13.7% French & German
4.7% Spanish & Portuguese
3.9% Scandinavian
1.1% Ashkenazi Jewish
12.8% Broadly Northwestern European
1.4% Broadly Southern European
0.8% Broadly European

I have very strong reason to believe that my ancestry are from central-Africa.

I'm 50% Irish and 50% French, except for one grandfather, a self-made man, who managed to conceal his origins entirely.

My father I didn't know, but since I have really pale skin I'm guessing European lol. My mother was born in Michigan from Eastern Kentucky parents that contained a mixture of European and Native American. If I get the money someday I really want to do an ancestory test.
