Portugal is third for me in that one:

Actually since you are half Minhota (i think?), and since Extremadura is the spanish region closest to where my family is from... this could be not totally inaccurate.

Yeah, from Barcelos.
I don't think it's too off either.

Polako said the EUtest is the most accurate.

Although he is of course biased, i have to agree with him, as it is the one that makes sense for all my family - especially on my mother's side where the foreign ancestry scales correctly over one generation, or pretty close (of course it won't be directly half because of recombination and all that).

I guess the results are good too:

I just don't get the Cornish-Romanian-Serbian-English sequence. If i'm closest to the Cornish, the English should come next, or are they that different?

It could be because they are Atlantic dominated and very slightly more southern, that is the only thing i can think of. Although i am surprised at the Serbian and Romanian, maybe you are slightly closer to other southern Europeans than the average Portuguese person?

I don't know, it's kind of surprising to me too that they are there, i was also curious about why the british nations were that far apart, also Scottland and Ireland.

I think it is because of two main things - The Irish and Scottish (or many of them) pretty much always have more Atlantic than North Central Euro and also tend to having more East Euro than South Baltic, while England is the other way round, and Cornwall is in-between (It is Atlantic dominated but has more South Baltic than East Euro i think). Also i think Graham is correct when he says that the Scottish sample is probably not representative of the whole country, because it is very high in Atlantic, while f.e Graham is the opposite.

I guess you are closest to Cornish because they are Atlantic dominated and have more South Baltic than East Euro (which i think is the same for the Portuguese?).
