What is your ancestry?

Post Reply New Topic

1/2 Irish
7/16 English
1/16 Native American (Narragansett)

lebanese. fully as far as i know. am i the only middle eastern person here then? : )

The silence to your post would suggest yes.

Don't take the predominance of Anglo-European types here too seriously. I disowned my family when they stopped calling on me discovering they have autistics in their fantastic "pure" bloodlines.

All of my grandparents are Scottish. But of my great-grandparents, 1 is English, 1 is from Northern Ireland, 1 definitely has Irish roots and we think one has German roots. I strongly suspect I'm about 50% Irish, given the middle names and surnames of my ancestors. I also look Irish (the dark variety), with a Scandinavian looking nose (probably from Viking times).

People mingled so much in the world, this research has a hard job with this question. In Hungary, there is only a minority who can say "My ancestors had come across Vereckei-ghat." Ironic.

- 25% Sváb/Kraut (German)
- 25% Tót (Slovak)
- supposedly Romanian at a fraction (as my family name suggests it)
- other: unknown, incl. Hungarian (possibly Turkish, Jewish, Gipsy).

100% Macedonian, ethnicity and nationality
My family have never migrated, they are in city where I'm born and live centuries and centuries, even women married in my families are from my city, very rare from villages near my city. It is interesting that there is no one in my family with aspereger, or with autism, even in far cousins.

50% Hungarian
50% Egyptian

100% Israeli )

Actually I am also from the middle east lol...

how come ppl here are so split into ancestry stuff?

Entirely irish ancestory as far back as 1850 at least.

I suppose you all have such mixed ancestory because you're mostly americans, a nation of immigrants, I doubt I have anything other then a little british and viking.

mtDNA haplogroup H1
ytDNA Haplogroup R1b1a2a1a1b

Hope that helps! All the way from central Africa to Scotland and England, via the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and (during the ice age) the Basque country.

And, of course, a distant cousin of everybody else on this board...

It would be interesting though, if Genetic Anthropology could discover an autism gene mutation and pinpoint it to a single individual living in a certain place x thousand years ago. Autistic Eve perhaps.

British (English currently, was mainly Scottish a few generations ago, and I believe there's a few Irish roots there too, I haven't looked in depth into family history). A quick search of the etymology of my surname indicate Scottish or French origins.

Again, this web site has a very skewed representation of the world. I can guarantee you that people where my family immigrated from are not sitting around discussing mental disorders on the internet. That is the case for a huge part of the world.

My recent ancestors include Homo ergaster, Homo habilis, with maybe a little bit of Homo neanderthalensis mixed in. If you're talking about like 55-60 million years ago, then I'd have to say Plesiadapis.

Wow, I think we might be related!

Small world, huh?

Could be, but i haven't anyone in family with asperger or autism. This is for people from my country,igenea source.. but i still didn't make DNA test and haven't in plan make it:
Macedonia:
30%macedonian
10% illyrian
15% hellenen
5%phoenician
20% germanic
5% hunnen
15% slavs

I'm mostly of English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry, as far as I know. Sadly, I can only go back through six generations or so of family history. I'd love to take one of those DNA tests that others have mentioned...
