Genetic Ancestry and the People of the British Isles 

I think I know exactly what you mean. I remember spending alot of time in Norfolk and Suffolk when I was young, .

@Austin Stokes no. Sorry, didn't mean to imply that. My family is of English descent primarily, but I am about 35 percent German and have known German people also throughout my life.. I am just agreeing with you that I see the similarities in the people in southeast England and Germany. The Dutch also to a certain extent.

My ancestors were from Frankfurt so does that mean they were Frankish in origin? I love learning about my German history all of my friends are from Germany and I went recently it felt like a 2nd home I stayed at all of my friends houses just traveling around on scooters lol but its so beautiful I want to go back soon and my friends are excited for me to come back since we miss eachother I talk to them everyday. I also have Italian blood in my from Rome so my ancestors were ancient romans I always get told I look very italian and roman I have black hair and eyes and pale skin.

I'm English but feel very at home in Northern Germany. As you say, feels familiar. Your state in particular NRW, has been likened to England before by Germans I've met.

@Austin Stokes not german?

It's unlikely that Norwegian and Danish DNA will appear in your admixture from such a long time ago. Chances are, you have more recent ancestors from Scandinavia than you expected.

@@purpleturtle8841 You highlight the fact that reality is sometimes different to family trees, because of human nature ... sometimes the child isn't from the official father. Maybe, a Scandinavian ancestor is hiding somewhere in the lineage.

The Scandinavian shown in the video will be in what makes up your English Dna, purple turtle is right as in the norse that shows up on your test will be from a more recent time

that just means you have the best of all worlds

@lukpuk622 you can’t be 4 halves

Interesting because I have the cold adaptation gene and hate the cold...the way it was explained to me is that being more uncomfortable to the cold made it a warning sign so you may have the cold adaptation gene if you are cold sensitive. Its telling you to get ur butt inside where its warm or find a wrap. Much love.❤

We're all so mixed really, every European ethnic group is. It's a pretty fascinating history, and what's even more fascinating is when you get into deep genetics and learn about groups like 'Yamnaya', 'Early European Farmers' and 'Western Hunter-Gatherers' that are the 3 main populations that contributed to modern Europeans genetically, albeit in different levels. You might be interested to know we in the British Isles have very similar levels of inheritance from these groups as people in Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia do, making us cluster very closely together in a genetic sense.

The Welsh have same genetics as the Basques

An early migration of peoples from the Basque country migrated to Britain before the creation of the basque people genetically.

@@IslenoGutierrez Take a look at the research the real Welsh are genetically closer to the Basques than they are to the Anglo Saxons.... hence a lot of Welsh have that darker complexion Tom Jones for example

I found it a pleasant change! No music, not even an annoying synthesized speech (getting things wrong).

it proves that your ancestry , is very recent one your last mutations probably are 150 years ago

Tre - Town. Sais/Seis - Saxon - so Tresize translates as 'Saxon Town'. Place of Saxons would be more like Leseis/Lesais 'Le (Cornish/Kernewek) or Lle (Welsh/Cymraeg)' meaning Place .

@danythrinbell1596 Well, it's interesting to note that my surname is derived from the original surname Strother, which originated in northern England near what is now the border with Scotland. An 's' was added to the end of Strother to signify 'son of Strother', and the 'o' was replaced by a 'u' to suit Scots spelling conventions that existed around the time that surnames started coming into common use. DNA-based genealogical studies show that the Strother and Struthers families were once closely related, but a genetic mutation occurred to change that. Mutations of this kind in families happen once every 144 years or thereabouts.

@serlaigh chantelle Not only "spanish", but also "portuguese" (although none of those countries existed as such by then). Therefore the precise word is "Iberian". The North African DNA (wich you called Morrocan) didnt exist - yet - in the Iberian populations that (re)colonized the British Islands in the end of the last Ice Age. The E1 gene (berber - North African) only got into Iberia in 711 AD, after the moorish invasion of the peninsula, and today it counts about 10% of the portuguese/spanish population, since both populations are by far mostly R1b (what is called the "celtic gene" ).

@serlaigh chantelle There were already Sapiens Sapiens populations in Ireland before the last Ice Age (western hunther-gatherers) but they went away as the clima got colder. During the last Ice Age, there was no one living in central or northern Europe (there were ice sheets km´s thick: it was very cold and there was almost nothing to eat). All european human populations took shelter in the south, in Iberian Peninsula, Italian Peninsula and in the south part of the Balkans. Meanwhile, the Mediterranean Sea worked as a barrier, isolating the northern africans from the south europeans. So the Iberians that left Iberia to go up north, ending up in Britain and Ireland, didnt had any northern african DNA., which means that the e1b1 gene present in nowadays irish population came into the Islands much later. I am not sure, but my guess is that e1b1 (very common in small scale in central and northern Europe) was due to northern african traders, that made their businesses with the europeans. I think they got in during the Roman Empire, and reinforced their presence during the middle-ages. Usually people forget that untill 1300 AD the northern africans were much more rich, civilized and advanced than the europeans. The luxury products they sold were very appreciated in Europe, so their presence as rich traders was permanent, and obviously left a footprint in the genetic pool. So I really dont think e1b1 came into Ireland with the Iberian migrations from the end of the last Ice Age.

Yeah its confusing. There was a significant amount of yellow in Scotland and England which was also found in Northern Germany, as well as blue which was found in Normandy. They might of just showed that British people all over Britain are significantly Germanic with low level Celtic roots and didn’t acknowledge it. The only things I can see why that Norwegian had a significant amount of Scottish/Irish/Welsh is that either those nations are more Germanic than what people like to think or that some vikings took women from the British Isles and brought them to Norway, just like what they did with Iceland.

@@johnnyappleseed4930 the blue color is probably "North French". Despite the fact that the Germanic settled in Normandy, they did not have much influence on the gene pool. The gene pool of modern Normandy is close to the general gene pool of the whole (or almost all) northern France. And the absolute majority of the gene pool of northern France originated from the Roman and pre-Roman periods. From the Gauls... And their gene pool, in turn, dates back to the Bronze Age of central and northwestern Europe.

It doesn’t imply that the DNA from the continent is unmixed. It’s implying that the DNA from the continent is grouped into genetic groups by genetic similarity and it’s projecting each genetic group in whatever nation as a component that makes up British DNA and it’s using colours to display them.

No, because she wouldn't be considered an ancestor in practical terms, although I get your point. It also depends on what sort of DNA they're testing, paternal or microchondrial, which goes down the female line.

Ideally, the reference sample would be based on individuals who could trace their ancestors to the locality before the railways arrived.

Look at Jive talks new Anglo-Saxon video on youtube. Will provide answers to your questions.

yes to the first no to the second

it's difficult to separate Danish "Viking" dna from Anglo-Saxon dna as Anglo-Saxon dna is very similar even to modern day Danes and Dutch, the video show it as German dna, but they actually also came from Denmark and the Netherlands, and northern German dna tends to read as Danish dna due to mixing and change of the border several times in history, they have tried to calculate dna from the Viking age by seeing the difference in amount of Danish dna is Viking graves compared to Anglo-saxon graves what I remember it was an average of 6% but more in some areas , Anglo-Saxon dna in Britain is an average of 1/3

If you have Irish dna, you are from the Irish isle - depsite what the British propagandists suggest

Same here haha I always tell folks I'm a mutt of the British isles

For Irish people, Ireland is not a part of the British isles, the was created by the English for control.

No it means you directly descend from people like the current inhabitants of those areas, through which you will have more distant Germanic and Scandinavian ancestry, as well as ancestry from the "indigenous" Celts. It would be like if your results came back "50% Virginian settler" or whatever. It wouldn't mean you descend from the American Indians, but rather from the English settlers that arrived in the area, through which you would have ties back to England.

The indigenous people come from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain & Portugal) the Celts

Until they update it.

Bro there's a study in September 21st 2022 which states English dna is 5.4% Swedish (probably from the Wulfingas Geats) and 47% Anglo-Saxon. So English dna is 52% Germanic from the 4-600s. Not including later Scandinavian dna from the Norse Danish age of invasions.

What I find interesting is the English is closed to Frisian yet Frisians are the least mentioned.

It may not be possible at present to distinguish between Saxons, Frisians, Angles and Jutes through DNA.

I agree as a Dane! Anglo-Saxon dna is very similar to modern Danes and Dutch (the study don't mention Germans because Northern Germans tend to read as Danish because of the borders have moved several times in history and people mix along borders, plus the Angles were both from Southern Denmark and Northern Germany and as you mention Jutes were (are we still call them Jutes) from Denmark

Cornwall has strong genetic links to wales, Ireland and Scotland (brittonic/celtic people) Devon too but much less and more linked to the Anglo-Saxons (the Anglo-Saxons pushed the celts down through devon and right to the end to Cornwall)

Considering your strong links to Cornwall, Devon, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, my guess would be that you would be more than half celtic, But just my guess. :)

Cornwall was already part of Wessex when England was first formed. Cornwall co- founded England and therefore has been English from the outset.

@Austin Stokes Yes of course

The english wiped out the norsemen in england in 1002

no there was no Norwegian settlement of Yorkshire only Scotland and Ireland

@@ajrwilde14 This is untrue. The Vikings ruled north and east of the line of the Roman road from London to Chester, as far north as the River Tees. All of East Anglia, the East Midlands, Yorkshire and Lancashire, plus the former county of Westmorland were part of what is called the Danelaw, because it was under Danish Law. You can easily tell if place names in the area contain -by, as in Grimsby, Hemsby, Derby and so on. There was a Kingdom of York, with its capital at York, which the Vikings called Jorvik.if you look north to County Durham, Northumberland and Cumberland there are no -by place name endings. I can recommend to you the excellent book River Kings by Cat Jarman, which tells us a lot of up to date things about the Vikings, not only in England but as Far East as Ukraine, historically called Kievian Rus’ (the apostrophe is deliberate). Genetically the Vikings are very hard to spot, frustrating all the DNA spotters, because the Anglo Saxons are the same people as the Danes. The Jutes came from Jutland and Angeln is in south east Denmark. The Saxons were in the North Frisian Islands, recorded as ‘islands which are called Saxon’ in the second century AD Geography of Ptolemy. The Angles are first mentioned by Tacitus in his book Germania dating to 98AD, as Angli. That’s why you can’t find Norwegian DNA In Yorkshire. Most Vikings in Britain were Danes and many were Swedes. While many who attacked Ireland were Norwegian, this was not the case in England. But the Normans were also North Men, settled in what is now Normandy by the king of France, so Norman, English and Viking DNA are almost impossible to differentiate.

Definitely. I believe Britons have been subjected to division and amnesia by successive waves of power hungry monarchs. Look at how people today likely dont know much about history from the past 50 years, it has likely been the same the whole time. Better to tell your kingdom theyre different to a neighbour so they’re more willing to wage war in your interests than let them know their neigbourbis like them and the lower classes having less division across the whole island.

I think the Roman's had something like 50,000 colonists in Britannia at the height of their colonisation, but that was amongst a population of millions. In addition most of them left when Rome withdrew from Britain. There are still some trace amounts though in the Welsh and to a lesser extent English populations, but it is something like 1-2%.

@@Heligoland360 most of those colonists consists of Germanic and Gallic soldiers and auxiliaries. No doubt some Latins and even Maghrebis and Iberians. Btw I mentioned Maghrebis as Hadrian's wall had a couple hundred Berbers

@@noahtylerpritchett2682 Yes but a couple hundred berbers over couple hundred years, not all of which will have had children that stayed in Britannia is a small amount. The point is that the Roman colonisation of Britannia left relatively little genetic impact on the Welsh, which was then further diluted in the English by the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons.

@@Heligoland360 but yeah. Rome didn't really do shit.

In 23 and me , irishbritish are same dna. Like french and germanic.

Bretagne jean True but that’s just the DNA company’s way of grouping them together, but if you break them down separately like the English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish they are different ethnicities. Just like French and German, they both are different in ethnicity and in genetics.

Irish and English people are strongly related (more than French and Germans). They are both mostly Native Brythonic but English people have 40% Anglo-Saxon DNA, while Irish people only have under 20% Germanic DNA and most of this Germanic DNA isn't Anglo-Saxon but Norse.

Carmicha3l, it's very similar (because they both have the same origin), but not identical. Insular Celts (Scots, Irish, Welsh, English) still have different DNA to German, Dutch or Swiss people.

Ben Matlock What?? Irish are not a Brythonic people like the English, Irish descend from Gaels and other Irish tribes. Irish are a different ethnic group than the English. Also they both have different faces, Irish features are really distinctive from English features. Also England, especially the south east, is much closer to France and Germany than to Ireland which is a separate island from Britain

@Austin Stokes celt or germanic?

@Austin Stokes nice we have some similar backgrounds. I've been studying my family's tree and dna for about 6 months now and have found a good amount of info so far. My paternal dna from my father is norse and my maternal dna is german. Theres a lot of side branches of Scandinavian/norman, german/frank, celtic brittany, scottish, irish, saxon. Some famous people in our extended tree are alfred the great, Charlemagne, clovis, sigurd snake in the eye, bjorn Ironside, rollo of normandy, some saxon leaders in Germania, and a lot of other lesser royalty or high ranking people. The tucker line itself had a lot of marriages to people of royal decent. My grandmother on the tucker side is from the Allen and Mcdonald family of Scotland. The Allen line descended from Alan the great of brittany and the Mcdonald side from Hugh Mcdonald they descended from somerled and the ui imair irish viking dynasty.

@Austin Stokes I'm still trying to trace my father's line but I get lost with it in devon around the early 1400s. Before this time tucker was spelt many ways like toukere, tooker, touker. The origin is most likely from east anglia where took, toke, toka, and tuck are highest and predating the norman period. In devon there was a jarl named pallig tokeson who is descended from palnatoke the jomsvikingr. I've read before adding (er) to a name in old saxon german is like adding son or sen. So tooker or toukere could literally mean son of took/toke. We've had our dna tested with big y as well as tons of other tuckers that are related. Our paternal dna came from south eastern norway. We are l448/yp4252/yp5598/ft124201. The founding of ft124201 was around 1300ce around south central england. So our ancestors came in sometime between 800ce to 1000ce. All research i read says that our dna clusters match those in the danelaw. I read most norse where in the southern danelaw while the danes were up north.

@Austin Stokes I wish you luck because it is a long journey but well worth it I think. I was going over my ydna from the tucker side again tonight and with a snp map tool I can not only see the path my ancestors moved across Northern Europe but see the descendant path of each grouping of dna or haplogroups. Judging by this descendant path it puts my ancestors landing around York. Looks like I'm going to have to research more into york's deeper history.

@Austin Stokes hey! Wanted to give you an update on my progress. I found out through snp trackers the tucker family is related to the vikings who sailed through the Orkney, hebrides, and scotland. We have a 24/25 y chromosome match the halcrow family of the Orkney Islands. 24 matches means we are related by a same male ancestor. the halcrows are descended from magnus barefoot who is descended eventually from harald hardrada and harald fairhair. This fits well in line with our vestfold origins. Magnus barefoot and his father apparently raided through the Orkneys, hebrides, and isle of man.

@Austin Stokes pretty much

How has this impacted your life thus far?

Same here, I did a 23andme test which showed I am about 30% irish which was very unexpected. I also unexpectedly discovered i'm a carrier of gingerosis and hemochromatosis which are both mostly irish diseases 😜, so it all makes sense. I think most of the English are more Irish & Scottish than they think. We were _lied_ to that we're all anglo saxons, had no idea its only 10-40%...

Anglo Saxon culture in England is largely just that - Culture. Genetically, we all carry majority British/Irish DNA.

The result of this study has more meaning in Britain because since the Victorian era, due to lack of Celtic language in England and because of what was written by Bede, it was speculated that the Anglo-Saxons, upon their arrival into Britain, either committed mass genocide or displaced the Brythonic peoples, who were forced to move to the fringes of Britain (Wales, Cornwall and Scotland). This had been used by Cornish, Welsh, Scottish and Irish nationalists, over the years, to display some disgusting nationalistic insults against English people, many of these nationalists (I don't mean the people in general) today still continue to, in a derogative manner, refer to English people as "Germans" and dismiss them being referred to as Britons (in the historical sense). This study corrects several historical inaccuracies about English people and English history. First, it shows that the Anglo-Saxons did not commit any sort of mass genocide, nor was the population displaced, they were assimilated, meaning the English have just as much right to consider themselves British as the Welsh or the Scottish. The local Britons adopted the Germanic culture of the Anglo-Saxons. It also shows that the "Celtic" nations weren't genetically similar either, they were pretty diverse actually.

Chris Allen So now you seemingly expect a slightly obscure and highly predictable research conclusion to alleviate occluded xenophobia? Good luck with that.

First of all, it wasn't "highly predictable, we learned a few different things about Britain from this. Second, when did I say "I expect it to alleviate xenophobia", all I stated was it disproved a common flawed belief about English ancestry and the Anglo-Saxons.

Chris Allen Wasn't that implied by "the results means more in Britain because aso..."? I'm sorry, but I did find the result highly predictable.

@@chrisallen4016 Now we know that the Anglo Saxons shagged the Britons hahahah

Your a pict scot sounds like unique dna like wales ireland first british peoples since ice age never conquered so keep there dna

vikings did't rape your ancesters ,that's it

Northern England is genetically identical to England and Scotland.

@Ozark Yeoman there is no Celtic DNA , there is DNA that matches so many tribes in Europe that did have a Celtic culture

How much is from Ireland, the irish Isle?

The population of England is majority Brythonic, as are the Welsh and Scots.

@@newhuskytwenty how many ethnic groups are in spain?

Los indoeuropeos llegaron a Britania desde el norte de España hace 4500 años, la duda es si antes o después de mezclarse con los "agricultores de Anatolia" que ya poblaban la península ibérica. En cualquier caso ambos grupos eran portadores del haplogrupo Ryb

You ever looked at a census?

Ireland is part of the British Isles because it is a geographical designation, leaving the UK doesn't change that.

@@ajrwilde14 Geography is the study of physical features and of Human activity including the distributions of populations. Ireland lies mostly in Irish Territorial waters not British Territorial waters. The Majority of citizens on the Island of Ireland are Irish citizens not British citizens. Therefore Geographically Ireland 🇮🇪 is not a British Island and can no longer be called so since it regained its Independence and Territorial waters in 1922.

When the Ancient Greek traveller Pytheas of Marseille visited Britain in the fourth century BC he describes two main islands, Megala Britannia (Britain) and Micra Britannia (Ireland). It’s just a geographical term, so please don’t get your knickers in a twist about it.

@Joanna-il2ur It's 2023 The Geographical makeup of the World has changed dramatically in the last 100 years. The term British Isles is Outdated when referring to the Island of Ireland. Yugoslavia no longer exists Geographically. Since the signing of the Good Friday agreement The UK Government no longer uses the term when referring to the Island of Ireland. Explain how Ireland is a British Island Geographically. Ireland is a European Island not a British Island. I await your interesting explanation.

@@condorone1501 Who are you to demand that people change their usage? The term British Isles DOES NOT IMPLY A TERRITORIAL CLAIM. You can be as offended as you like and stamp your little foot like a child and nothing will change. Get over yourself.

It is a geographic, not a political term. In geography an archipelago usually has an overall name - Philippines, from a Spanish King, Caribbean from an indigenous people, New Zealand from a part of Holland (or Aotearoa - 'Long Cloud' in Te Reo Maori) . Britain and Ireland form an archipelago, no geographical doubt about that, so the archipelago must have a name, this is also non negotiable. The name of the archipelago is the 'British Isles', named fairly obviously from the name of the largest island - Britain. Your politics-based objections have no relevant input on the usage of a geographical term.
