Who Even Am I?!The answer is truly not at all what I was expecting & defies everything I thought I knew about my biological family. Join me today on the homestead as I endeavor to explore my roots and build a connection with who I am and where I came from.

Some Irish people posed as Scottish when coming to America in the 1800s, there was much less discrimination if you could say you were from Scotland. My grandma’s family thought they were Scottish….turns out just like you they are not, but are Irish for sure.

Ooh! That is an interesting concept that could make a lot of sense! The 5-6% Irish does seem to be from. my father's side as well when comparing my DNA breakdown to the matches I have on my father's side VS my mother's side.

Combined with the fact that a sizeable chunk of Scottish people have Irish ancestors like myself. So its not really uncommon for Irish to settle in Scotland and eventually leave for America. They might well have been born in Scotland but to Irish parents.

The ethnicity estimates were originally intended to tell where your ancestors lived 500 to 1000 years ago, before intercontinental travel. Since there are no living people that old, each of the DNA companies create reference populations from living users who claim that all four grandparents were born in a specific location. They update those populations from time to time, so the estimates may change. Country borders are political entities, not ethnic, and each DNA company creates different regions for these. In the last AncestryDNA estimate, they changed most of my Irish to Scottish, but they now define the Scotland region as including Northern Ireland, Northern England, and some other places. It's amazing that you had so many first cousins, but as you mentioned, you picked AncestryDNA because so many cousins had tested there. It's so cool that you got in touch with a relative who gave you the sheet music. I enjoyed your video. Thans for sharing.

@@freshstart349 Very interesting. My dad had pasty-white skin, black hair, and unusual eyes with brown centers with gold flecks and a blue ring around the edges. My mother had tan skin with black hair and blue eyes. My dad's ancestry was mostly Irish and English, and my mother's was mostly English and German, based on paper research. AncestryDNA generally offers DNA kits on sale several times a year, over the holidays, maybe Veterans Day, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc. where you can get a kit for $59 or even $49. You can create a family tree on the site and find records, such as census records, marriage and death records, etc., that can help pinpoint your family origins. You don't have to have a subscription to ancestry.com to take the DNA test; you can register for a free account. You can create a tree for free, but if you want to see the records, it requires a subscription. Or you can use a free site www.familysearch.org to find most of the same records. If you were adopted, you can use your DNA matches to perhaps figure out your origins. Best of luck with your research.

It's worth pointing out that Scandinavian ancestry is quite common among people with ancestral roots from the UK, including Scotland, due to the history of Viking conquests during the Middle Ages. In fact, there are 2 regions of what is now modern day Scotland - Orkney and the Shetland Islands - which were heavily settled by Vikings from western Norway who intermarried with Celtic peoples already living there (who presumably would genetically resemble people from Ireland). In fact, people from those areas even spoke a language (called Norn) that was distantly related to Norwegian and Icelandic until as late as the 17th century. Is it possible that you have family roots Orkney or Shetland Islands? That may explain the Scottish roots your parents tell you about.

@JEREMY99218
@JEREMY99218 2 года назад
It's possible to be Scottish nationality and not Scottish ethnicity. For example my German ancestors migrated to Russia in the late 1700s and early 1800s and lived in exclusively German "colonies" for 3-5 generations then came to the USA between 1885 to 1915. They were ethnically German but Russian nationality (citizenship). If they had been forced to assimilate into Russian culture, society, and language we might not have known that we were of German ancestry rather than Russian.

@lovelisascooking7640
@lovelisascooking7640 2 года назад
Results are updated on AncestryDNA at least once a year. Also, we inherit 50% from Mom and 50% from Dad. However, what they inherited from their parents, and the percentages you inherit from your parents are random. So, your results can look much different than what one might think. My two sons' results are so different from each other, my youngest actually called me and "Jokingly" asked me if I was sure that they had the same Dad!? I had my Mom's 1st cousin test. He is the closest relative of hers still alive besides me. I also have results from many of my relatives on my Dad's side. My oldest son tests more towards my Mom's side. (He actually looks more like my Mom and my Mom's 1st cousin than he does his Dad or me) My youngest tests more like me. I test more like my Dad's side. I look nothing like my late Brother. My sons don't look even remotely related to each other. I am getting my sons' Dad to test, to see how they match up with their Dad's results. When one looks at photos of My Late Dad, Late Mom, my Late Brother, and me together, it looks like 4 random people having their picture taken together. My Brother does have my Mom's eyes (Except hers were blue and his were brown) and they have the exact same nose. My Sons' Dad, My 2 sons, and I also look like 4 random people in the same photo, except that my youngest son's face does look like my clone. He has his Dad's exact same body.

6:35 Record says born England but claims Scots. IMO there's not enough data & user trees on this path for Ancestry to calculate ethnicity here and goes with England based on other users. Wat(t)ers not common as Scots name. Also you may simply not have inherited that particular DNA path. Could also be an event switch, which is not uncommon. Such specifics with Norway likely good.
@TheNamelessHomestead
@TheNamelessHomestead 2 года назад
Fair point about the inherited DNA. What is an "event switch"? If it helps the generation previous to his was the last name Drummond. On the family tree I inherited from my paternal great grandparents it goes "Grandpa Watters" & Julia Drummond > John William Watters & Mercy Arabella Hall > George Ethelbert Watters & Nettie Mildred Bishop (my paternal great grandparents). It is said that Julia Drummonds father was "Lord Drummond of Scotland, Earl of New Castle on Tine" but I have found zero evidence to back that up. If you are very experienced in genealogy (sounds like you are) and want to take a peek at the family tree I am building for funsies ill happily provide a link!

​@@TheNamelessHomestead Hi, your tree likely is correct - based on paperwork research. The key is building and confirming it through DNA matches. It's just like how you confirmed father but now confirm deeper down. Look at RU-vid user "DNA Family Trees" as that's where I learned from. Good vid is "How to Cluster your DNA matches With Ancestry". // Event switch is my name for non-paternity event (try Google) and it's possible anywhere (more so further back in time). Could be various reasons for it. To have all lines completely unbroken probably unlikely. I have various lines I can't account for as of yet and I've studied for some years. Hope all that helps.
