I don't know. Some of them were coming home in the 1600s.

I know. My Brennan great-great-grandpa, from County Laois, definitely was an undercover Scotsman.

He is 75% Irish 25% German from Alsace but 100% honorary Anglo.

I want Americans to appreciate their Scottish heritage that they mistake for being Irish heritage.

It's all good; I'm really a gender-fluid strong woman of color with GAD. That makes me a candidate for the CIA (check out the news).

There's nothing wrong with that. Many of us have roots in both countries, though, and that's even true in "Ulster-Scottish regions".

He isn't 75% Irish, he's 75% mix of Irish and various British ethnicities, he just happens to carry an Irish surname. Yeah, he's 25% French/German from Alsace. So he's more or less avarage White American by ancestry.

Half Irish, 1/4 British (mostly Scottish/Ulster Protestant from the looks of his results, so could be nearly 75% 'Irish' in a way), 1/4 Alsatian.

No he isn’t. He posted his ancestrydna on this forum and scored full on 75% Irish 25% German, back when ancestry dna was Uber accurate for the British isles with Irish scoring 100% Irish and English scoring 100% English. He’s Irish/German a typical New York mix. He only scores 7% English with the newest update with 0 regions, and the new update in general is considered very garbage. He changes his identity literally every week so I don’t know why you’d believe his profile information.

I thought he had British blood because he consistently claimed that and identified as such, not because I saw that displayed on his profile.
