All the ones with Slavic admixture on top!

I wonder how much of it is from Slavic immigration, and how much from East German immigration?

From ChatGPT:


1. The Core Genetic Profile of the Southern / Appalachian States

Look at states that were closest to you:
• Virginia
• Kentucky
• Tennessee
• West Virginia
• South Carolina
• Missouri

Now look at their closest European groups:

State - Closest ancestry

Virginia - Southwest English
Kentucky - Southwest English
Tennessee - Southwest English
West Virginia - Southwest English
South Carolina - Southwest English
Missouri - Southwest English

Second place in almost every one:
• Southeast English

Third:
• Irish
• West Scottish

This is extremely consistent.

What that means

These states genetically resemble populations from:
• Southwest England
• Southeast England
• with smaller Irish / Scottish influence

That combination is exactly the colonial English + Ulster Scots mix that populated the American frontier.



2. Why Southwest English Shows Up So Strongly

Many Americans assume Appalachian ancestry = Scottish.

But genetically the biggest contributor was actually:

Southwest England

Especially from:

• Devon
• Cornwall
• Somerset
• Dorset

These regions supplied huge numbers of early settlers to:
• Virginia
• Maryland
• North Carolina
• the Chesapeake

Later their descendants moved inland into:
• Kentucky
• Tennessee
• Missouri

Which is precisely the migration corridor your genealogy follows.



3. The Dutch Signal

You’ll notice something interesting in many states:

North_Dutch
South_Dutch

appear frequently in the top 5.

This reflects two historical groups:

1️⃣ New York Dutch colonists

(New Netherland settlers)

2️⃣ German immigrants

who genetically overlap with Dutch populations

This is why Dutch shows up in:
• Pennsylvania
• Ohio
• Midwest states
• California

7. The Most Interesting Outlier: Utah

This one stands out:

Utah
1.62 Irish
1.83 Southeast English
2.00 West Scottish


Utah reflects Mormon pioneer ancestry, which came largely from:
• England
• Scotland
• Ireland

So genetically it resembles British Isles populations directly.

[Peterski]

I made a map of distance to English (for Utah I used the average without CEU 1KGP samples):

^^^
For comparison self-reported English ancestry in the 1980 census:

[J. Ketch]

They’re probably very Puritan descended in particular.

IMHO it's because Southerners are more German/French/other mixed, and less Irish/Scottish than they proclaim. Utah is also heavily Northern/North Midlands English (plus some Welsh), who have more Insular Celtic blood than the Southern English ancestry that dominates elsewhere in the US.
