You're Swedish, right? I recently discovered through Ancestry.co.uk that I have Scottish roots. Less than an eighth, or something. Still cool, nevertheless.

From a simular shallow genetic pool The further south you go the more interesting those result get I think.

Don't do the mail-in blood tests - they are shit.

I did one.I am apparently;
88.8% English.
7.8% Irish, Scottish, Welsh.
2.1% Middle Eastern.
1.3% Eskimo/Inuit.

Which all seems a bit strange to me.
I do know however, that two great-grandparents were County Mayo Irish.
The rest ???

My Spanish lady came out as;
81.9% iberian.
7.6% North African.
6.4% Irish, Scottish, Welsh.
2.0% Ashkenazi Jewish.
2.1% West African.

Caused more than a little amusement in the family.

Did one of your Welsh ancestors mistake a seal for a goat?

I'd be very wary about using myheritage.com.
