On K15's PCA, between Norway and Scotland, or Danes and West Norway, also close to North Dutch. That's still not far from Norway's average and IBD wise on Myheritage, seems you are fully Scandinavian. Which region are you from?

Lowest 'West Asian' i ve seen in an Euro by the way, clearly this component here didn't come with IE.

You seem to have very distant Lapp admixture.

You have typical Scandinavian results. I have many Scandinavian kits(Danes, Norwegians, Swedes) who score that high Atlantic in Eurogenes K15, but the Eastern Euro/Baltic stays always the same. But post K13 it's often more accurate.

Which region are you from?

Lowest 'West Asian' i ve seen in an Euro by the way, clearly this component here didn't come with IE.

I'm from Central Norway but I have distant relatives all over the country. I know and can confirm that I have distant relatives from Germany, Austria, Sweden, and Denmark, so that did not surprise me at all. I guess that's quite common for a Norwegian too! What do you mean by IE?

They have Sami heritage i suppose.

I'm not sure, to be honest. It's hard to tell if they were or not because the church records do not always tell the truth, I guess. It was often considered to be shameful to have Sami blood (which I can not understand...), that can be one reason. I can only find Norwegian first names and surnames in my grandmothers family line. But as I said, the church records don't always tell the truth because people may have hidden the true father of their child etc.

My family became interested in genealogy because of the old rumors we've heard about possible gypsies in our family and my great grandmothers "exotic" appearance, but from my DNA-tests, it seems not likely that they are true. It seems that I have Baltic heritage though, but that's a mystery to me because I don't know of anyone in my family that came from Balticum.

Do they look like her?

No, my grandmother (the one with the North Norwegian heritage) does not look Sami at all in my opinion, but her grandfather could possibly have some Sami blood. But he does not look very much Sami either.

My great-grandmother in my fathers family line have pretty much exactly the same features (face, eyes, nose, cheeks ++) and colors (darker eyes) as this man, she just looked more girly of course, and had a slightly wider face (this man is from Kazakhstan):

My great grandmother looks very much like she's Mongolian, but we have not been able to confirm it yet. I've heard rumors that my family has Rumanian blood too, but it seems truer that we inherit genes from Mongolia rather than Romania - when it comes to appearance. Can't see anything about Romania in my DNA tests either. Many in my family have high cheekbones, dark skin, and hair. Some of my relatives originate from the North in Norway (my grandmother's father came from Troms, North Norway), but I haven't heard anything about Lappish blood.

Troms(and Finnmark) is quite different than rest of Norway, that explains your 1-2% Siberian, since Troms Norwegians are quite Sami/Finnish shifted.
But Tröndelag is like any other Norwegian/South Swedish/Danish region. Your results look typical for Southern Scandinavia but with a slight Sami/Finnish shift.

With less than 1% in South Asian, you have nothing. Maybe if one of your grandparents have something like 5%+.

Thanks again for replies! Interesting. :)

Earlier I added my DNA raw material into Family Tree DNA to find matches and in 'myOrigins' they interpreted my results as:

Scandinavian - 47 %
British Isles - 27 %
West and Central Europe - 22 %

Trace results:

Finland - 2 %
Siberia - 1 %

I think 47 % Scandinavian is quite a small percentage when both of my parents and grandparents surely are Norwegians. But I guess I can't expect the results from these tests to be 100 % accurate. Nevertheless, I'm curious why I have such a "high" percentage from the British Isles and West and Central Europe. Maybe it goes far back in time? Does anyone know how far back these DNA tests go?

I guess you have distant Sami admixture or something.

The Siberian DNA comes from the Sami people. You probably have Sami ancesty, also likely considering the physical traits of your family members which you just described.
