Classify teenagers from Guernsey C Islands

[Oliver109]

To me they look very similar to the southern English but more brunet, the lack of alpinisation is obvious

[Tooting Carmen]

Yes I agree.

[Oliver109]

Yes I agree.

Would you say they look more Welsh or English? a lot are said to be descended from Celts who were escaping the Saxon conquests

Not sure.

They have nothing to do with the Welsh. They are intermediary between Normans and Southern English because of their mixed Anglo-French ancestry, but closer to Southern Engliish.

Nearly all have ... very rosy skintone.

Thanks, many do resemble the Welsh, the girls in the 4th pic could have been taken in a school in Wales, i think these have less Saxon influence than people from say Hampshire but otherwise they are broadly southern British in looks with French elements. Do you have genetic results?

Sort of, I have 4 native Guernseymen (?) with French surnames and this is how they are modelled in K36. Many of the people there would be more English though.

Distance to: Guernsey(n=4)
2.44409943 59.00% French + 41.00% Icelandic
2.69101157 80.20% English_Lancashire + 19.80% Spanish_Camp_de_Tarragona
2.71956086 82.40% English_Southeast + 17.60% Spanish_Barcelones
2.73598136 61.80% English_Lancashire + 38.20% French
2.74432827 56.20% English_Yorkshire + 43.80% French
2.75208564 64.00% English_Southeast + 36.00% French

On a British clustering tree they cluster with Devon and Cornwall.

On this PCA they (CI) are just South of the English, but it's from Channel Islands born people in the UK, so probably skewed English compared to the average there.

Thanks for the data, they do look sort of like Devonians etc so it makes sense that they cluster there.
