Iceland is in the norwegian group because it got settled by norwegian vikings. Even though once all the population died in iceland and i believe got repopulated completely again just a few centuries ago, so there is no genetic difference.
Good video, just don't take the whole paternal/maternal split too seriously at this point because the tool is still in beta. So, maybe that 1% Jewish is from your maternal side.
Oh okay thank you! I was wondering as well because it just doesn’t seem right because I’ve since found out my maternal grandad results showed Scottish and Irish but it’s saying none of that DNA is from my maternal side
Honestly, I wasn't expecting this!!! I got quite shocked when her boyfriend's results turned out that way! I'd love to do this one day in the future, I'm from North Spain but everyone used I looked Jewish, specially when I came across exchange students in the past. Btw, I think this is the first time Sophie says her surname out loud on camera, it really got my attention because I never know how to pronounce Cackett correctly- Nice video!! and keep working on channel!
Haha well nah you know how to pronounce my name! My name isn’t very common so causes some problems sometimes 😂 He was shocked too! Maybe you will have Jewish ancestry who knows? I’ve been told I look French by a few people so I thought I might have had some French ancestry but my dna results say otherwise 😂
What's interesting I have some matches in the UK even though the most recent European immigrant ancestors I found were all from the 1600's. Was talking to this girl from ancestry. I was under the impression she was a white American, but she was from the UK and never had family that lived in America. Thought it was interesting I would still match people from the uk even though they would have to be pretty distant unless some of my European ancestors from the uk was more recent than I thought.
Ah that’s interesting none of the matches were that interesting. Though I did find 3 distant relatives who all have the same 2 people from the 1800s with the same surname on their family tree so I’m guessing I could also be related to those people but I don’t really know. What I do know though is that my surname isn’t particularly common
Hello Sophie! It would be really interesting to know where we come from. May be I am not only Italian, as my country, like yours, had many invasions from abroad. The UK was undoubtedely settled by the Vikings, a Norwegian people and by many others. So that we are the result of these conquers, a mix among different proples and cultures.Great video Sophie and interesting DNA test. Wish you all the best.
Thank you Gabriella! Yes I don’t think anyone’s DNA results would come back 100% the country or countries they know they are from because of how people have moved around all these years ago but then again who knows
@@GlobetrottingPolyglot Yes it's common. Just in my family 4 of us got tested and we are all 100% British and Irish on 23&Me. We are Irish though so it will depend on how well you match the samples each company have and with testing now it is making people more homogenous than if you tested in the past. On 23&Me it's not unusual to get 100% Finnish or 100% Portuguese for example. On Ancestry with the latest update I'm 96% Ireland 3% Scotland and 1% Wales. These tests also only go back about 6 generations and aren't really geared to look at deep ancestry. If you get mixed results you might be mixed but also if you are English for example you will usually get a more varied result because England is different genetically North from South for starters and also surprisingly many English are not 100% English even the most British have some Irish, Scots or even some European ethnicity in the woodpile.
@@jackieblue1267 We're American, and we got 97% "British and Irish". I noticed that, when we took it, we scored higher than the averages in England, Scotland, *and* Wales. We're almost exclusively of Native Irish and Western British blood. Is "British and Irish" really Native Isles (the people before the Roman era)?
