ethnicity

Different DNA test find this for me:

ANCESTRY:

78% England, Wales, NW Europe

13% Germanic Europe (i.e. the Dutch)

6% Norway, Iceland

3% Ireland, Scotland (BIG WHOOP).

FAMILY TREE DNA:

78% British Isles

15% Scandinavian (Norway, Sweden)

4% Southeastern Europe (Italy, Greece…)

<1% Ashkenazi Jew

23ANDME:

35% French & German (the Dutch are here)

30.6% British & Irish

  • areas where my ancestors probably lived in the past 200 years: London, Glasgow (northern Scotland), Donegal Ireland (up north near Larne, home of some Agnews who are Irish), a couple other areas of southern Ireland.

9.7% Scandinavian

.5% Southern Europe

.1% Italian

.1% West Asian & Northern African

 

I think I inherited the Agnew Norman DNA (Scandinavian) from way back. A lot of the relatives I’ve traced (Owens, Hunter, & others) from my dad’s side go back to Welsh or English, so that makes sense. Where our Agnew line falls, I still don’t know.
