I have been lurking in this forum for quite some time, trying to learn about human anthropology so that I might classify myself. However I have not been able to, as I suspect I have traits from many different European phenotypes. To help you in your efforts I will do a quick summery of my immediate ancestry.
My fathers side:
My grandad comes from Latvia, his family fled to Sweden when the soviets invaded. He came from a small bourgeois family that might have been mayors in some super tiny town. At most upper middle class. I haven’t seen any pictures of his parents, but he looks as he might be Jewish, curly hair, low set ears and big nose although no Jewish eyes or face. However we do not have any Jewish last name and I have never heard anything about us being Jewish. And to add to counter evidence for Jewish ancestry, the Soviet government was always very favorable to its Jews, and so they would not have to fear anything from the soviets. In fact they were so anti-communist that one part of the family fled all the way to USA because Sweden was too friendly to soviets. I think they may just be alpinids or dinarics with big noses.
My grandma comes from Jämtland a north-western part of Sweden. This province has its own separate phenotype with dark hair, small pigmentation around the eyes, very light eyes, looks quite different from anything else. Pure versions look like crows and have a very noble yet mystical feel to them. My grandma says she might have some sami blood aswell, although I can’t confirm that. Her family were poor hunters, farmers who settled in the northern regions.
My father is then a mix of these, his closest looking phenotype is that of the north atlandid. Very similar to a young Joe Biden. Dark brown hair, slightly wavy and brown eyes.
My mothers side:
My granddad is a pure Swedish phenotype, looks like a Swedish 18th century farmer but with curly hair. I don’t know too much about his family other than that they come from Stockholm.
My grandma had an absent father, who was a drunken sailor. He was apparently of a darker phenotype, I’m guessing some sort of atlandid, due to the T-shaped facial structure both I and my grandmother inherited. He brought with him genetics for very hairy legs, that might be a clue to where he’s from. Her mother was a very fair and Swedish woman, probably pure Hallstatt. Her family was from Kalmar, but she herself was from Stockholm. Grandma looks like a nordic mixed with atlandid, with brown hair and blue eyes.
My mother looks very typically Swedish, long oval face with a pointed nose and blue eyes. Blonde and straight hair.
Me myself am a weird mix of all these. I can’t be precisely categorized as anything, therefore I need your help! A description: Dark blonde hair that shifts in color depending on lighting. Hazel almond shape eyes and tall and slim stature. 76 in cephalic index, 181cm tall and expecting to grow. You should also consider that i have braces, and it effects my lips and sideprofile a little.
Here are some images of me:
