Most under represented countries on TA

[PaleoEuropean]

What countries do you think need a larger TA community?

I think a lot of East Baltic countries like Latvia etc, France ( we have some French users), Germany, Portugal doesn't really have too many serious or active users, Spain has some but the bulk of Spanish posts are by like 3-4 users, Italy really has only like 1 regular poster, Russia, Canada, Aus and Nz. Probably Scandinavia too but we have a few members.

I yeah, I pretty much agree. I think France, Germany, and Scandinavia standout. Honorable mention ethnic Romanians from Transylvania.

Not a lot of Irish on here. I think there is only 1 poster on here who lives in Ireland.

Yea I would include Ireland and really all of the UK. No Welsh active users only really a handful of Brits and like 1 Scot but he doesn't post anymore.

Yea but it's just not the same, unless you go to places like Boston or parts of Australia you can't find Irish with a real strong Irish identity that isn't morphed into a new world one.

You're right. The Irish identity is not the same in the new world except maybe Boston, NYC, Philly, Chicago, and San Francisco and of course, Australia. I just meant to say it isn't hard to find a person of at least partial Irish ancestry, real Irish identity is different though.

Not many Irish post on these sort of forums. I just think I'm hyper Irish because I'm diaspora. No one else in my family is interested in genetics.

Very true, I posted this after looking at the regional forums, sad to see all the neglected countries but almost all have mostly negative stuff nobody really talks about culture. Would be nice to see people behave and keep the trolling down. The whole Med Vs Nord Vs This Vs that thing keeps people away also in my opinion although a lot just ignore it, there has been a lot of normal people joining since I joined.

I think it's natural given the longing for a connection. Irish-Americans are the ones most obsessed with these tests, not people in Ireland.
