The Scandinavians has been around a lot in Ireland. For instance, Dublin was founded by the Vikings. and in West Europe: Normandy France founded by the Vikings. Parts of Northern Germany also has a lot's Scandinavian influences.

If your results show more Irish than you expected, but less English, it's possible that some of the English is showing up as Irish, because those groups are very similar genetically. Also, if you get some surprise Scandinavian genetics, it could be because those genetics are also carried by people in places like England and Germany.

Your Scotish DNA makes perfectly sense. 25% Irish so it means 25% gaelic DNA from western Schotland and the Scandinavian 20% is eastern and northern Scotland like for example from Orkneys, Hbrides and Shetlands. The people living in this places has mostly Norvegian ancesters. Even Northern England has got a high percent of Scandinavian DNA. You have to read about Danelaw and the Medieval history of Britain. Then many things will fit in that what your DNA shows you. Here maybe a small help from England kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHLcYXqkfLB7q5o

The Scandanavian DNA is probably part of lot of Scottish people. Your DNA results is not too big a surprise, because of the Scottish and English history. The Scandanavian DNA can lurk in the Scottish and English genes for a very long time. So the way you celebrate your ethnic identity may well be accurate.

People move around for various reasons, maybe your ancestors left Scandinavia and moved to Scotland, so even though you have the Scandinavian DNA, the generation that settled in the Scotland area, identify with Scotland just like you do now. I can't wait to get my DNA test done, to see what pops up. My Great-great Grandmother was Native American and she married and Irish man, but now I just found out that one of our family names that I thought was Irish, is really Scottish. Who knew that McKinnon was really a Scottish name. We also have another family name that just happens to be one of the oldest Scottish names in history. So, it will be interesting to see what shows up in my European DNA. I loved your background music. Thanks for sharing!

Did you upload your Raw DNA from Ancestry to GEDMatch? My AncestryDNA came out with no Jewish but GEDMatch came up with 2% Ashkenazy Jew. There are a few other sites you can upload it to. Wegene.com, DNALAND and promethease. There are sites that can search through either the female or male line specifically but you'd have to pay to do another DNA kit and its much more expensive.

Depends what part of Scotland. The Scots from northern Scotland and Orkney/Shetland are nearly all Scandinavian and actually used to speak a Scandinavian Norse language called Norn. This has disseminated into the local dialects of Scots. There was also the Danelagh which mixed some. Southern Ireland was also ruled by the Scandinavians for a while and created the 'Norse-Gaels'. To explain some Iberian blood, there may possibly have been some Irish who were part of the 'black Irish', or people who came to Ireland from Spain.

If you have a full sibling, you may want them to take the test. My sister took it and her British DNA appeared to be way too low (7%) I read up on how our parents pass their DNA to us and decided to take the test. Apparently your parents may pass all of something that they have a small amount of and pass very little of DNA they have a lot of. I tested 65% British and they identified my sister as being my sibling.

Highland Scots usually have Irish or Viking DNA, or both, and you have both, so that may be right. If you know your clan, you should check if they came from the Highlands. Really only Welsh show up as British DNA, but if you have Welsh ancestors and only 1% British DNA then they probably did come to Wales from somewhere else. At least one wave of immigration into the British Isles was from the Iberian peninsula, so that could explain that. Also, the Roman occupation of Britain could be the Italian/Greek. A lot of DNA in England and the Scottish borders is generic Western European, indistinguishable from your German/Dutch. it's easy to think of it in terms of the last place your ancestors came from, but you usually have to go back a few steps before that.

Nore was spoken in Zetland, aka Shetland as it's called in modern English, the islands furthest North of Scotland, but the last speaker died in the 18th century and they now all speak English. Gaelic is still spoken in the Highlands and in Orkney, the islands between the Highlands and Shetland, and is similar to Irish, from which it derives, although they speak English too. Then in the Scottish Borders people tend to speak a mix between English and Doric, which is similar to English, so it can be hard to tell where one language leaves off and the other begins. They can get quite close to normal English with some effort, LOL! Technically, pure Doric is no longer spoken, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are always comprehensible!

+Sharon Thomas Because the Irish dna profile crosses into Scotland and Wales on AncestryDNA.com's maps & they say this is "Celtic" and is present in Scotland and Wales. I was 25% Irish dna, so I would assume at least part of that is the Scottish/Welsh. The 1% Great Britain means that although I did have ancestors from England they apparently weren't FROM England or were of bloodlines from elsewhere recently. Does that make sense?

Or not. Ancestry DNA says trace regions may just be a random sort of error and may not be in you at all..:)

+Byron Williams It can get abit confussing. In the forums area, Ancestry DNA responds that these ethnic profiles for each region are based on modern-day people who are deeply rooted in that particular region. Many people, such as myself, discover Scandinavian ethnicity they had no knowledge about. Many people try to connect the Scandinavian (and German) ancestry with the Viking invasion of UK (and the Ango-Saxon migration to UK). to explain their surprisingly LOW Great Britain percentage. However, Ancestry DNA says, while you can create whatever stories you like, the profile for Great Britain would already include all these elements in the contemporary Brittish person, so when Scandanavian shows up...it really means SCANDANAVIAN from Scandanavia..:) The Irish is a bit less clear to me, because they do say it is what we often call "Celtic." So, that would inclue purely Scottish and Welsh ethnicity. So, like you, I'm assuming my 25% Irish would also be some Scottish & Welsh...still much lower than I was thinking. At any rate, it would appear my more recent Celtic ancerstors in the old country weren't ALL that Celtic in bloodline, or I just haven't inherited much of a percentage, and most of my ancestors in Great BRitain must have come from other countries in Europe in the not too distant past. I suppose...? Who knows. AS Ancestry DNA says, at some point, it IS making up your own story.

+Kaiwaza I have a huge passion for history and genealogy, having spent the last ten years putting together my family tree, yet I have to admit before doing the Ancestry DNA test I was a little ignorant. I quite naively assumed if my father being Welsh and my mother being English I would be 50% of each and that physical characteristics inherited like the shape of the eyes, nose etc were a sub genetic difference rather than ethnic differences. It's quite possible that my daughter may have inherited all of my trace regions ( Iberiann Pennsylvania 4%, western European 4%, eastern European 3%, Scandinavian, fin/Russia, Ita/Greece all 1%) and my larger ethnicities being a lot less than my own. This could then happen with any children she has, thus making the larger ethnicity I have being waterd down. The DNA amounts we inherit from our parents are quite random. This is probably the reason why geaneology and dna don't always corrolate.

+passius1 Viking dna, as too with saxon dna did not have as much impact on the British isles as we first thought. When you say his scandinavian dna is British you are wrong. The British dna is that of Romany British or earlier, Scandinavian is as it says scandinavian. saxon, angles and jutes ( what we regard as English) would come as western European . The DNA results provided go back 2 thousand years or there abouts. It is true the Orkneys and parts of northern Scotland have heavy scandinavian but so too did Dublin, that doesn't mean that the irish dna is therefore scandinavian, it just doesn't work like that!

+passius1 My understanding from what I've read &videos I've seen is that Scandanavian dna also runs high on the eastern side of England, and German DNA runs pretty hight throughout England (Ango-Saxon). So, it seems entirely possible all of my Scandanavian and perhaps part of my German DNA came through my ancestors in Brittain. Likely, most of that 25% Irish is probably Celtic Scotland and Wales. So, it does sort of come back to the same thing. With 1% Great Brittish dna (Pre-Roman??) , while a good number of my ancestor were FROM Great Britain, they were not of aboriginal stock.

The Irish invaded parts of Wales and the west of Scotland in the dark ages. Scandinavian Norsemen settled in the far west and north of Scotland 300 years later. A lot of Irish came to Scotland and England (and Wales) after the Potato Famine in the 19th century. Were your mother's family Catholic? That would be an indicator of recent Irish migrant ancestry.

DNA and nationality just do not correspond perfectly. When a baby was found abandoned in a bin in Gatwick Airport, DNA testing assigned him a DNA type found in Holland, Belgium, Northernmost France and Southern England, but could not be more specific. (He turned out to be local.) West Coast ‘British’ often comes out as Irish, East Coast as Scandinavian and Southern as Western European. As the number of records held increases you will eventually be assigned a more accurate result.

When it comes to Irish and Scottish DNA you are getting into a very grey area. If you're Scottish ancestors came from the Highlands or the West of Scotland then it could explain the Irish component in your DNA.Your last ancestor to set foot on Irish soil could have been 1600 years ago.

Maybe some of your ancestors on your fathers side of the family were from Scandinavia? P.S! Caucasus region is Georgia, Armenia and Southeastern Russia.

Very interesting video. Not to bring up something unpleasant but there is always the possibility that a married female ancestor slipped up and got pregnant by someone other than her husband and could not face telling anyone so the kid was passed off as the husband's. I think probably has happened many times and it's something we should keep in mind. It seems to me that the only thing we can really trust is the existence of cousins that turn up with the DNA testing. Hopefully someday enough people will be in the DNA databases that we can construct our family tree through DNA rather than written records, assuming that's possible with the random DNA "pulling" that you mentioned.

My cousin did the test. We are related through our mothers. She did not have the Iberian/Greek/Caucasus results in her DNA, so, as I suspect, that came through my father's family.

The same thing happened to me, but after looking at someone's DNA from the northern part of Scotland; they had 50 Irish, and 50 Scandinavian, also. So yeah it sound's like you are Scottish, I just wish Ancestry would explain this to people better, GEDmatch matched my DNA to someone in the Orkney Island's.

Yes, the whole Great Britain DNA thing can take a while to sort out. Although, 1% is still shockingly low to me. I guess my family's all descendents of the invading forces rather than the indigenous!
