    Scotland predominantly (parents, grandparents, great grandparents) with some English and Irish coming in at some point.

    Further back - Sweden and Norway mostly, with seemingly a little German also. I'm unsure as to which generations these ethnicities came in at, though. The genealogical research continues...

    If you're going by 23andme ancestry. It could also mean, one of your ancestors family may have moved to these places.

    I know, that's why tracing back the family line is necessary, but I've only recently started. The British ancestry is all I'm sure of.

    My mothers side is fully south Slavic while my father has Centrtal African blood; more precisely Quzambe and Karorombe blood (noble blood of the highest chiefs that is).

    Very Frustrating but rewarding. If you need help I have an account on ancestry.co.uk. infact that goes for anyone of British ancestry

    I'm still waiting on the rewards.

    Anyway an uncle of mine has been tracing the line (on my Mother's side) for about 40 years, and found our Irish and English ancestors. Also quite a few from Shetland, which may be responsible for the Scandinavian 23andme matches.

    Lots of Scots moved to western Norway in the 16th and 17th century, the 16th and mid 17th century was called "Skottetiden"(the scot age) because of the number of Scottish immigrants who settled down. A few of them also went to Sweden.

    And one of them nailed (in the marital sense) my great-grandmother.

    My English ancestry is from Northern and Central England. Both sides of my family have both English and Irish ancestors, my mum's is heavily Irish (my mum herself is half Irish) whilst my father's side is heavily English with more distant Irish ancestry.

    So my ancestry is Anglo-Irish but I see myself as English. Anglo-Irish is a bit of a contradiction as an identity.

    That fake identity, "British" doesn't work either.
    It does work, actually - just not in Britain. In Australia and New Zealand it works, because Irish, English, Scots and Welsh formed a cohesive ethnic group.
