I have had a question about where I can trace myself to and it hasn't worked yet. You can see from my profile of what my ancestry is, and it's a slew of a mess. However, I do not believe
that Dutch and Danish people have dark hair or hazel/brown eyes. Also, the Scottish one is pretty high like those two as well.

Welcome, fellow Virginian! You definitely match your description: Celtic and Slavic. Have you done a DNA test yet? They are not always accurate, but can give you a general idea. Then you can upload the raw data into Gedmatch for more in depth results.

You are probably Culturally Anglo-American I imagine. You are who you associate with and whom you call your peers and kin. Ethnicity isn't all that important, but it's good to know your roots and especially your male lineage. To me my male lineage is thee most important.

For me it's the opposite. The mother's side counts a little bit more than the paternal.

Click the links for the pics and see for yourself. It shows that the genetics are in fact Danish and Dutch, but I do not believe it to be so. So, what is the true conclusion?

That is not what that means, 23andme or whatever can probably give you a better breakdown of your ancestry than a k36 map, That is just the best fit. So 1/2 English 1/2 spanish would get highest number on France, for example.

I would call your hair medium, rather than dark, and yes many Danes and Dutch have your pigmentation. Many Dutch even look Mediterranean.

So was there Mediterranean invasions or just hair color selection?

The best. It means you aren't an Ethnic.

Well, your coloring's not impossible to find in Denmark or Norway. Though people with rounder faces there, often tend to be more snub-nosed. Danes and Swedes often corresponded with Pommeranians. Given that you're a British/Polish blend, that could've been what drove you to Denmark, Sweden and Lower Saxony. :shrug:
But either way welcome aboard.

I would probably say Irish above all else though, despite of other mixes like Scandi and German, actually I can see the Faelid face type a bit too, but I don't have that.

Let's see if this works. This was me as a kid. Had chicken pox at the time.

Wow, a radical change from childhood to grad! Seems like you were much more like a true Germanic back then compared with a mostly reddish brown today.

Did your eye color change from when you were young? In your OP pic you appear to have brown eyes and like dark blonde hair. You look French, imo.

You look more Polish or Ukrainian or Russian and maybe East German.There are many Danish and Dutch people with dark hair with brown or hazel eyes. Although these are in the minority. You have a "Slavic" look for me, but who knows?
