    You've got a rather Atlantid phenotype, which is quite common in Wales (and in Britain).
    But you usually can't tell the exact ethnic background of a person just based on pictures
    For this you would have to do some research in your family tree.

    You Look British and judging by your recent known ancestry, your mainly ethnically Welsh. Subrace would be an Atlantid of some sort I guess.

    if you put pictures showing various perspectives of your face (side, frontal, etc) it would give us a better perspective on how to 'classify' more appropriately.

    From the one pic tho, you do seeem to be somewhere on the atlantid spectrum.

    The father has nordic roots, yes.. So without doubt i've got my scandinavian heritage in the blood.. but I guess it is possible that I have the 'Atlantid' features including some nordic and some south european/atlantic islands (??) heritage through my mother, who her roots are lesser known.

    <script src='http://img843.imageshack.us/shareable/?i=img0031ct.jpg&p=tl' type='text/javascript'></script><noscript></noscript>

    ..I have an odd complexion with skin and hair.. in the sun my hair will bleach to a much lighter shade than usual.. but sometimes when I get it cut its much darker brown (?!?) and when I go sunny places I can get a great tan after a few weeks, but I still burn easily enough.. as all europeans do!

    The feedback is very interesting, thanks ppl..!

    Atlantid seems about right, you kinda remind me of a British version of the old member Falkata, in the recent pictures.

    Is very hard to trace your ancestry from pictures of your face.
    Is much easyer that you take an autosomal DNA test and try to guess after from where those admixtures are coming from.
    "Odin is just a fancy name Attila used after he faked his death and moved to Scandinavia, the little scoundrel wanted the impressionable Norse ladies to believe that he was the Germanic god Wotan so he could get under their skirts."
