British & Irish 37.6%

Descended from Celtic, Saxon, and Viking ancestors, the people of Great Britain and Ireland have left their genetic fingerprints around the world.
We predict you had ancestors in County Dublin, Ireland; Greater London, United Kingdom; and 18 more regions within the last 200 years.

French & German 2%

  • “French and German” people descend from ancient Celtic and Germanic populations, and inhabit an area extending from the Netherlands to Austria.

Scandinavian 1.1%
  • Scandinavians owe much of their linguistic and genetic heritage to medieval North Germanic tribes who established settlements around the North Sea.
Broadly European 6.6%
    • Northwestern Europeans are represented by people from as far west as Ireland, as far north as Norway, as far east as Finland, and as far south as France. These countries rim the North and Baltic Seas, and have been connected throughout much of history by those waters. Broadly Northwestern European DNA matches several specific populations and cannot be assigned to just one. This shared heritage may be the result of extensive migration, possibly including the Germanic invasions of the early Middle Ages.
  • Greek & Balkan 28.8%
  • Despite broad cultural diversity, “Greek and Balkan” people are genetically similar to one another, descending from early Mediterranean and Slavic ancestors.
  • Spanish & Portuguese 0.9%
Eastern European
13.3%
