Worth pointing out that Ancestry testing is autosomal, and can only really go back 6/8 generations, before the data becomes indistinct. So anything past 200 years ago and the test will not detect it.

I haven’t done a test myself, but both of my paternal grandparents have, and I would think my results would be similar to theirs. My grandmother did an AncestryDNA test, but my grandfather tested with a company called MyHeritage, which I know a lot of people think is very inaccurate, and I can’t disagree with that assessment because I think my grandfather’s background is about the same as my grandmother’s and yet about half of his estimate differed greatly from hers, but I do think it can at least indicate some interesting things about ancient ancestry. Anyway, I’ll go head and share. We’re all Americans of British Colonial descent from (unfortunately) the central U.S., by the way. My grandmother got 49% English with a range of 44% to 63%, 39% Scottish with a range of 17% to 39%, 6% Irish with a range of 0% to 11%, 3% Baltic with a range of 0% to 3%, 2% Welsh with a range of 0% to 8%, and 1% Dutch with a range of 0% to 20%. So, the only thing Ancestry is sure about is her English and Scottish ancestry, but I also believe the Dutch (although I think it should be 2% or 3%) because I traced it back to Nieuw Nederland. And my grandfather got 45.7% Celtic (by which I mean the six Celtic nations-Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany-because MyHeritage lumps all of them together), 36.4% Scandinavian, and 17.9% Iberian.

This was a fun vid, thanks! 😀I was curious too so my result are I'm American with 67.3% European with 41.5% British Isles (21% Scottish & 11% Irish). The next largest percentage is my 28.2% Indigenous American from Arizona/Sonora area. My Great Grandmother grew up on an Arizona Native Reservation. So that tracks pretty well with the information passed on by my family.

Better than me. I’m American. Family has been here for 200-300 years ish. I’m 74% English, 11% Welsh, 3% Irish Oh and a whopping 11% Scandinavian. We both know how that got there. Cough cough Viking conquests of England.

There is no such thing as an ethnic DNA. Genetic DNA is based on most common DNA per region. For example celtic people were everywhere in Europe and ended up most common in isolated regions like the British isles, northern Spain, Northern France etc.. Also the Greek, Romans and Germanic tribes were all over Europe as well spreading DNA and mixing with everyone as was in asia with the Mongols fir example. According to the disclaimer with these test, it is for entertainment purposes only.

[@WasGuckstDuSo65]

@@Chickendoodle99 Actually british people have more germanic admixture than germans. Germany is the melting pot of europe, seen from a genetically point of view. You can find a very high percentage of what you called slavic or eastern european admixture in eastern parts of germany, germanic dominance in northern parts and celtic shares in southern germany. Thats why you cant find a stereotype of looking there. Russia is by the way an equal example in terms of mixing.

Canadian, but we originally landed in British Colonial Virginia in the late 1500's after doing a tour of duty in Tyrone, then Kentucky, Indiana, Colorado and eventually Washington state before (gasp) illegally immigrating aka riding a horse, into Alberta in the 1920's. 94.5% British and Irish, mostly from the Southern Uplands of Scotland, Ulster and a smaller amount from West Yorkshire through my maternal Grandfather, then a remainder of Belgian Flemish and Scandinavian. Nearly everyone who's British, and certainly the Scots, Scots-Irish, general northerners as well as Irish-Irish, have a dollop of Scandinavian in their meat pie, 'cause of all the baby batter the vikings were non-consensually dishing out willy nilly.

I see your video was posted a little over a year ago...your results may have been updated by now. I believe the larger Ancestry's database gets the more accurate the results. My latest results are very close to what I expected when I had my first results six years ago. My latest results shows: England & Northwestern Europe 63%, Scotland 20%, Wales 7%, Sweden & Denmark 5%, Norway 3% and Nigerian 2%. My first test 6 years ago had 29% Ireland...where did that go during my latest update? The Nigerian probably came from the slave trade (all of my ancestors have been in America since the 1600s and every immigrant that I trace back came from England).

I have French Canadians / French ancestors. My dads DNA test reveals he has French Canadian communities and my family tree also shows exactly how the French entered the DNA pool. My 2nd GGM was French Canadian and so were her ancestors on both sides and Ancestry says both me and my dad have 0% French DNA. I believe it's because France wont allow DNA testing so it's impossible for testing companies to get accurate results.
