If i make a map based on your genetic map (i've already started on paint) and give vague cultural references to the ethnic groups but otherwise do nothing, and see how things pan out. So it should be quite neutral, although people should be able to recognise which regions they would be in. Well when i finish the paint map i'll do it on AOE II. I'm a student, i've got to find something worthwhile to do with my time! ;)

It'll be like an alternative view, The Aprican Archipelago.

Very nice! This correlates quite well with many of my Oracle results form the various ADMIXTURE analysis at GEDmatch. I usually end up landing in around somewhere in Central Europe. I suppose you could say my combinations of ancestry from Northwestern, Southern and Northeastern Europe makes my overall makeup look like that of an obscure Central European. :P

Jax what is your mums Heritage? I'm curious, as she is closer to myself & the family.

My mum as far as I know is 100% Irish/British Isles. In reality by far most of her ancestry comes from various parts of Britain before they went to Ireland. Most of her ancestors on both sides of the family were North Irish Protestants. There are a only two Irish Gaelic surnames that I know of in her/my family tree and the rest seem to look pretty British. Oh and possibly one French Hugenot family that came to Britain and then Ireland after the persecutions in France.

Off to Azores apparently.

How would you describe me on this map Graham? Like some sort of strange Central European?

You're in Slovenia or maybe Hungary from the look of things.

Where does McDonald place you?
