Why The Irish DNA Is So Unique?

Hello. That means your mother was Jewish and so are you. Unfortunately, unless you married a Jewish female, it ended with you, as it passes only from the female. If you have a sister, then she and her children are Jewish. Many Irish Jews came from Europe while others arrived via Scotland, who became the Kosher butchers who set up in West Belfast. Sounds like you live in the Glens. Doubt there is a Synagogue within 50 mile of you. The first Chief Rabbi of Israel was the Rabbi in Belfast. His son (born in Belfast) became the President of Israel. His grandson is the current President of Israel. I’m from Ballymena and as my wife is Jewish all the children are Jewish. They all have girls, so the link continues for at least one more generation. I understand largest Jewish community in Ireland is in Cork, as many have moved from Dublin. The Synagogue in King William Rd Belfast is quite nice. Glasgow still has a sizeable community. Shalom.

[@user-fh1rz1uq6c]

@@SharonBoland-ui3ns It's the way you think about it. When I first read where you said "I’m Scots of 97% Southern Irish descent" I assumed you are Scottish, and wondered what your background was. I thought you probably didn't descend from the largest group of emigrants who left for Scotland in the century after the famine, as they were mainly from the northern part of Ireland, not the southern part. But then "Southern Irish descent" didn't make any sense to me anyway as Ireland is a small island and there is very little distance between north, east, south and west. And there only seems to be a minor DNA variation in Ireland and it is between east and west, as most later immigrants from Great Britain to Ireland settled in the east (from the middle ages on). That is my understanding from the last dna stuff I read, but it might be out of date. It struck me that the way you might think about these things, if you come from a vast country like America, is different to how you would think about it if you were from a smallish countries like Ireland or Scotland. Also, you used the term "north Scotland" instead of "north of Scotland" and that also made me think you weren't Scottish, and possibly American. But you have an Irish surname, and one that is not as common in the north of Ireland as it is in the south. So who knows, I was just curious, lol.

[@susanlbk]

How does one have "physical Viking features"? Vikings were not a race or a specific ethnicity if people, being a Viking meant that one lived their life a certain way. Being a Viking was more of a way of life or occupation than an ethnicity or race. While Vikings primarily came from Scandinavia (present-day Denmark, Norway, and Sweden), the term "Viking" referred to their activities (raiding, trading, exploration) rather than their origin or genetic makeup. In essence: "Viking" was a job title or a description of a lifestyle, not a racial or ethnic identity. Vikings came from various backgrounds and engaged in a wide range of activities, including raiding, trading, exploration, and settlement. The term "Viking" referred to a shared culture and way of life rather than a specific ethnicity or race. Evidence supporting this: DNA studies show Vikings had diverse genetic backgrounds, including those from southern Europe, the British Isles, and the Baltic region. Archaeological evidence suggests that people from different regions and backgrounds adopted Viking culture and practices. The term "Viking" itself is derived from the Old Norse word "víkingr," which means "pirate" or "raider," highlighting the activity rather than the origin of those who engaged in it.

I'm supposedly 100% British Isles (same thing re a marker of having been in the area thousands of years). My genetic markers indicate by that Mitochondrial DNA (female line) has been in Ireland 5 to 8000 years (possibly since the first settlements)--a particular mutation of that haplogroup, which distinguishes us Irish from the Scotch and English with the same female ancestor, occurred 2500 years ago. That said, my mtDNA is considered a rare haplogroup and we make up a small percentage of the Irish people. Our female line comes from the Doggerland area, and half of the people in the Basque area and half of the Sami people in Finland share that female ancestor. (Apparently, we took the road less travelled to make it to Ireland.) Doggerland likely disappeared in 6150 BCE. At any rate, we're part of the history of Ireland too.

The Norman’s were the original Vikings and were from Denmark. The Danes also were in control of Norway for several hundred years. The Norse- Norwegians were mainly farmers and fishermen and sea-explorers. They settled the areas of Western and North Western Ireland, The Highlands of Scotland and the islands between both Ireland and Norway and Scotland. Also, the South of Norway has a large DNA heritage from Greece. Red hair and Black or Brown hair with pale blue-violet and hazel- green brown-gold eyes come from Greece with the lightly browned tan skin tones. I discovered this from a deep-dive DNA test that I and my brother did. I’d always wondered how my Southern Norwegian grandmother got her tanned skin tones and black hair with Violet-blue eyes and my mom got dark brown hair with her hazel eyes. My granddad had the pale skin tones with white blonde hair and very bright blue eyes. Mom’s sister got her dad’s coloring and eyes.

How can your granddad be full norse? That's not a race or ethnicity. Norse" refers to a cultural and linguistic group, not a race, though the concept of a "Nordic race" was historically used, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries, but is now widely discredited. What Norse means: Historically, "Norse" referred to the North Germanic people who spoke Old Norse, a language spoken by Vikings and other inhabitants of Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, and Sweden) during the Viking Age. It encompassed their culture, language, and shared traditions. Modern descendants of Norsemen include Danes, Icelanders, Faroese, Norwegians, and Swedes. The term "Norse" is more accurately described as a cultural or linguistic affiliation rather than a racial one. The Concept of a "Nordic Race": In the past, some anthropologists and others categorized "Nordic" as a race, associating it with certain physical characteristics and traits. This concept was used to justify racist ideologies and discrimination. The idea of a "Nordic race" is now considered outdated and inaccurate. Modern genetics and anthropological research have debunked the notion of distinct human races. In essence, "Norse" is a cultural and linguistic identity, not a racial one. The concept of a "Nordic race" has been refuted by modern science and is associated with discriminatory ideologies.

I am descended from Scots-Irish on both sides. We are not sure how long they were in Ireland before continuing on the South-Eastern Appalachia. I have often wondered if they intermixed with the Irish or just sojourned and then immigrated to the US. I suppose a DNA test would reveal the truth. 😂 Thanks for an informative video and Happy New Year! 🎉 🥳

[@Paddymayne4738]

Your ancestors immigrated from Ulster between 1700/1750. The plantation in the 1400s brought the Borderers mainly Scottish Presbyterian’s and English Protestants to Ulster. By the time they immigrated to America and Canada over five generations later they were Irish. The Ulster Irish accent was unique to Ulster, being a mixture of Irish and Scottish Gaelic and English and described locally as the homely tongue or Country method of speaking. The accent you call American and Canadian is the Ulster accent. Remember, there was no Northern Ireland until 1922. The persons in question lived predominately in the Counties of Antrim, Derry, Tyrone and Fermanagh with a much lesser number in County Galway. The English in the Southern Counties better known as the Anglo Irish had nothing in common with those who arrived in Ulster from the Border region. The accent of those in the Southern Counties are very different to those in the Northern Counties. Being Catholic or Protestant has nothing to do with it, as they all speak with the same accent. Belfast has a very unique high pitched accent and heavy influenced by a mixture of English and Irish, a City accent. All that music you call hillbilly is thanks to these wonderful frontiers people. The likes of Kit Carson and Jeremiah Johnston and yes Davey Crocket (family immigrated from France to Ireland) Houston, and many of the Kentucky Volunteers. They decimated the English in the battle of Kings Mountain. Washington declared that America would be like Canada but for these brave men and women. Remember it was the English and the Church of England that they hated NOT the Irish. The first President of Irish ancestry was Andrew Jackson who hated the English. The Second was Grant no less whose ancestry was from County Tyrone. All this information is right here on UTube. Unfortunately, they are incorrectly referred to as Scots-Irish which is incorrect. This is in part due to the fact that they didn’t want to be identified with the Irish immigrants who arrived much later from Southern Ireland. 24 Presidents of Irish Ancestry 21 from Ulster and 3 from Southern Ireland. The Mellon Family started life as farmers and ended up with the Mellon Bank. Canada was also heavy influenced by the Ulster Immigrants. The first Church was built near the River by Pastor Boyd from Ballymena my home town. Timothy Eaton from Ballymena built an Empire and in fact my first job upon arriving in Toronto October 1966 was at an Eaton Store, as the rule was anyone from Ballymena got hired on the spot. Canadian Federal and Toronto Ontario Politics was controlled by the Orangemen until around 1953 and the 12th July Parade is still held in Toronto, although small in scale. Early Federal Politics in Australia and both NSW and Victoria was greatly influenced by the same group, however, that’s all changed. The Judge who sentenced Ned Kelly was born in Ulster. Anyhow, I trust the above has given you a better understanding and appreciation of your ancestry. To clarify, the writer is not influenced by the fact that your ancestors were Orangemen as I am not an Orangeman. I simply admire what the early frontiersmen achieved as a group. I also acknowledge that the early German settlers had a lot to do with the opening of the Smokey Mountains. The story goes that the Ulster men kept fight the Indians while the Germans built the barns. There was no intermarriage between them during the first couple of years at least.

[@duranbailiff5337]

@ Joseph Bailiff landed in Philadelphia in 1796 (if memory serves). He is the first person in my father’s side to immigrate to the US. Davy Crockett’s family had tavern in my hometown of Morristown, Tennessee. Of course, he died at the Alamo. He was quite a traveler, as they lived in North Carolina before settling in Tennessee. Sam Houston was also from East Tennessee, and there is a schoolhouse named after him not far from here. His family came across the mountains from Virginia, as my paternal grandfather did. Andrew Jackson was from middle Tennessee and also tended to move around. These immigrants were fierce warriors and were prominent fighters in every conflict. Their almost universal distaste of the English crown persists with the older generations, even til today. While these families spent many years in Ireland, they never forgot their Scottish heritage. When looking at grave stones in my parent’s hometown, you can find a few Irish surnames, but overwhelmingly, they are Scottish. I am named after my grandfather, Clyde Bailiff, but grew up by my middle name Duran. The younger generation is less informed or interested in our European ancestry, but growing up (I’m a late Boomer) there was no question about the family origins. The thing that perplexes me is the origin of the name Bailiff. I wonder when they took on the occupation name and how they identified before. Thanks for your encyclopedic information on the history. Happy New Year! 🥳

[@jackieblue1267]

There is not really any region of Ireland that is very different genetically. The genetic distance is miniscule between each different areas. The Donegal region was more isolated so a bit more "unique". The eastern Irish naturally enough are closer to Britain but no part of Ireland has a distinct genetic cluster. In a British Isles context the Orcadians and Welsh are more distinct. Also the Irish today owe the majority of their genetics to the Bronze Age Bell Beakers and the Irish are most similar to their NW European neighbours.

[@petergibson2318]

Ireland is a small country...genes "perculate" through a small country so they kind of look the same to outsiders. Believe it or not Danes and Norwegians and Swedes can tell each other apart.

The Celts did not have a big impact on the Irish genetically. What is often said to be Celtic culture is just indigenous Irish or more Gaelic and linked with Western Scotland. Also the Irish are closest to Scots and other British Isles populations. There is not a link to Galica. There is more a link with the Bretons.

Already knew I was mostly of Irish descent. On both sides. But different dna tests showed different dna markers which still said I was mostly Irish, at least 1/4 Norwegian (not a surprise, my grandfather was from Norway), and then one test also said I was about 5% Italian and 5% admix asian. Tracing trees, one of my mother's grandmother is a dead end with a unique name, so it may be her family moved to Ireland from Italy, and she grew up and married my great grandfather there before moving to the US. And the Asian admix came down the side of the family that were world colonizers, so it makes sense that I'd have their gathered bits. What was most interesting was following my family names back. My mother's side is from Clare and my father side is from Cork. And following names back, my family had been intermarrying for centuries. I'm my own cousin several times over and several times removed by immigration during The Great Hunger. No need to tell my elderly mother that.

The most recent genetic studies show that 75% of the DNA of the British Isles (including Ireland) is from the early hunter-gatherer group that arrived in the area between 15,000 and 7500 years ago, just after the ice caps melted but before Britain became separated from the mainland. The DNA is similar to that of the Basque people another hunter-gatherer group from the Pyrenees of south-western France and northern Spain. The language spoken was most likely similar to the Basque language, Euskara. The Basque were peaceful people compared to the Indo-Europeans groups that swept across Europe from the Pontic-Caspian Steppe, and they revered the mountain goddess Mari, rather than the war-like sky fathers of the invading Indo-Europeans. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnicmIqgiN1-ask

Irish DNA is not unique but it is highly homogenous. My cousin's Y-DNA, from our Irish grandfather, falls very close to the profile for Brian Boru's descendants, Irish Type III or Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype, and Irish Type I, descendants of Niall of the Nine Hostages, from our Irish greatgrandmother. Irish Type II is also related to Niall of the Nine Hostages. "It's good to be the King". My cousin's profile keeps hitting on Scottish profiles which I finally realized was due to the Dalriada: those Scottish families were descended from NE Irish ancestors who were part of a kingdom with one portion in NE Ireland and a matching portion of W Scotland which was unoccupied wilderness. Basically, they were what the Romans called Scotti.
