You have some of the Southeast USA Mix with the Sardinia, Cypriot and African (Benin and Togo). A lot of people with this mix are descendents of Indentured Servants who settled in Colonial Virginia in the 1600's. Scots, Irish and English from Europe and others perhaps from Sardinia, Cyprus and Benin and Togo all came together pre slavery and worked as indentured servants on tobacco plantations in Tidewater Virginia. They lived together and intermarried producing this mix in people with colonial Virginia and Carolinas lineage.

@@LAtheYoung61 Here is a piece on the Melungeon's that kind of sum's up how this mix got started: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melungeon. You might also google out the "Atlantic Creoles" and "early Indentured Servants in Colonial Virginia". Up to 75% of white immigrants to early Virginia and the Carolina's were indentured servants from the British Isles and Germany who worked and lived on Tobacco Plantations alongside Native American's and African's in the 1600's and this was all "before" slavery became the main thing in the 1700's involving African's when indentured servitude of European's and Native America's dropped off. These early mixed race families moved away from Tidewater Virginia in groups. One group moved down the Carolina's and into the deep south (a part of this is the Lumbee Indians of North Carolina. A 2nd group moved westward into AppalachIa (SW Virginia, NE North Carolina, NE Tennessee and SW Kentucky) and it is this 2nd group that became known as the "Melungeons" and the 3rd group followed the Quakers out of Virginia in the very early 1800's into Ohio and Indiana. Over the next 200 years these groups intermarried with recently arrived whites and each generation got whiter especially the northern branch (I am descended from this branch) and the Melungeon's and the southern branch as well. If you have a membership to MyHeritage they have a genetic group called "Southern USA" in which most people of this genetic group are descendents of these early indentured servants. Also, Many Englishmen first moved to Barbado's in the early 1600's where there was a strong Native American slave trade partly run by the Dutch and the men intermarried with these women and these families founded Charleston, South Carolina. Other's from the south of this mix were Loyalists during the American Revolution and after the war settled in Pennsylvania and Southern Ontario where they intermarried with Pennsylvania Dutch families (some of my ancestors as well). All of this is just starting to be pieced together with the developments of DNA. People of this mix usually have British Isles, French Huguenot, Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry with perhaps a little Iberian (Portuguese and Spanish), a little Native American (possibly South American from the Dutch slave trade), preslavery African (a lot have the Benin/Togo) and other odd mixes such as Basque, Sardinian, Balkan, Cypriot (allegedly marooned Turkish and Portuguese sailors left on the coast of the Carolina's who intermarried native women and moved inland.

I always enjoy watching Americans' ancestry results. They always have a large mixture of different countries. After I did my test, I got my American father (African American)to do a test and my Irish mother to test. My father came back as predominantly Cameroon,followed by Nigerian, followed by English, then a bunch of other stuff in Africa and Europe. My mother came back as 100% Irish (despite having a Scottish surname, which I suppose isn't that uncommon here in Ireland). My wife(also 100% Irish) and I tested our daughters DNA too and she came back as 88% Irish and 12% Nigerian. Our son hasn't tested yet, but he looks like he likely inherited a little more African from me, but he has flaming curly orange hair and blue eyes, unlike my daughter who has jet black hair and green eyes. Both my wife and I have 1 redheaded Grandparent, so I'm assuming we both have one allele for red hair despite the both of us having dark hair. As interesting as the DNA aspect is when it comes to AncestryDNA, the actual family tree research you can do,especially if you have early American heritage is insane. I was able to trace some of my father's European heritage back to the Puritan migration in the 1600s. I was also able to find out what our surname would be had our surname stayed along the paternal line. It would be Åkesson

This is really cute:) I love that you want to integrate your family's cultural practices into your lifestyle, such a great way to honor your heritage. As others have said about your Italian ancestry, the family member that originated from there probably descended from other people who came from similar areas close by. The same way people today move for jobs, people migrated back then for other opportunities, or because of war or weather related disasters. I remember a professor in college saying to think of people migrating through time like just people moving further down the beach one day, over time it adds up to a lot of distance. Best of luck in your research!

In regards to he 'Italian' part of your autosomal DNA, you can add the 3% Cyprus and the 2% Sardinian and 1% Aegean Island under the South Italian . South Italy was largely settled by Ancient Greeks, around the Iron Age. SO in a way it could be said that you're 11% South Italian or it could also be seen as 5% South Italy and 6% 'Mediterranean Islander', since both Sardinian and Cyprus and Aegean populations share quite a bit of a common, ancient Early European Farmer (EEF) related roots w/ one another. And you could even probably separate them a bit , Sardinian as 'West Mediterranean islander' and Cyprus and Aegean as 'East Mediterranean Islander', since Cyprus and Aegean population also has some 'East Mediterranean' ancestral component in their mix, which is somewhat closer to Levant, (in the case of Cyprus) and West Asian/Anatolian (in the case of the Aegean). No one component is total 100% isolates, it's all about 'gradients' like a continuum.

There is no such thing as pure breed English, as the hunter gatherers migrated into these lands when the ice retreated around 12,000 years ago, then the Neolithic farmers came here around 6000 years ago and they migrated across Europe from Anatolia, then around 4500 years ago the Yamna from the steppe eastern Ukraine migrated here and they replaced the Neolithic farmer population by 93% and that is who we are today. The reason i havent included any of the more recent DNA input is because the Yamna conquered pretty much the whole of Europe so the genetic differences between R1b and R1a haplogroups is very small and they both where part of the same people on the steppe before they migrated. The Roman Empire at its height what it conquered Gaul and England that is basically the map of R1b haplogroup but they couldnt conquer R1a haplogroups going into Germany which is very interesting...

Also, I confirmed who my maternal 2xgr-grandmother's father was on here. She was born in Wales out of Wedlock, all except her birth record has Jonathan Prothero as her father, and her name as Elizabeth Prothero (b. 1853 and parents married in 1855), except her birth reg has Prosser, with my matches I did a search for Prothero in Wales. One was a descendant of Samuel Prothero, Jonathan's brother and the other was a decedent of Jonathan's father's sister, so I say that this confirms that Jonathan is biologically Elizabeth's father.

Ethnicities are not the same as nationalities. Country borders are political, not ethnic. Each of the DNA companies divide up the geographical areas differently. On AncestryDNA, the Scotland geographic area now includes Northern Ireland, the northern third of England, and down into Brittany in France. I hope you'll continue your research and build a family tree. I enjoyed your video. Good presentation.

@@FollowerOFtheNAZARENE Yes. The ethnicity estimates were originally intended to tell where your ancestors lived 500 to 1000 years ago, before inter-continental travel. Since there are no living people that old, each of the DNA companies create reference populations based on living users who claim that all four grandparents were born in a specific place. Each of the DNA companies update their reference panels from time to time as they get more users and can refine their algorithms. Some modern country names did not even exist 500 to 1000 years ago, and people migrated without regard to imaginary borders. Like you, I've been lucky enough to travel to England, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. These are truly beautiful places. I got to see the little Quaker church in Northern Ireland where my ancestors lived before immigrating to America. But I suspect he was not ethnically Celtic. If you're on AncestryDNA, you can build as many research trees as you want for free. Best wishes.

Pretty much all Scottish have Viking and btw, your Italian , no Italian are full Italian remember the Romans and slavery and also the invasion of the moors , so you African is as likely from the invasion as from you being descended from a slave, just for the person that thinks that , though both is possible my great grandmother was one of the brides that married English in Victorian times she was from kentucky and Virginia , so mine could be either too, though mine is Nigerian so more likely slavery , mytrue ancestry also tells you your royal ancestry as a European you for sure have at least a little, I have a lot

A lot of southern Italians match with Island Greeks, at least it says that in 23andme’s descriptions of regions, so that might be the association there. You might not have ancestry from those islands and it might be the southern Italian (which you know you have) coming up with that result d/t statistics
