Who is 100% English?

[Uhtred]

Is anyone 100% Scottish, Welsh or Irish, asking for a friend.

 

[Rofesleg]

My dad is 100% Irish. Which is quite common.

 

[TeaCider]

My dad is 100% Irish. Which is quite common.

I didn't realise your Dad was American.

 

[Ziggy]

Bro-in-law likes making lists…ex accountant So does ancestor stuff. He’s pretty good.
Some ancestors spotted in Cornwall around 1530. All the usual stuff as well Irish, Scando and bits

A friends came back as 100% Skittish. She showed me and I said, that's about right , you are full on a jumpy and nervous and unpredictable person. There were no more words allowed, for the rest of that week

100% human.

Romans aren't Italian and the Norman's aren't french.
You could be a Roman from Gaul or a norman from Sicily. Norman comes from northman, as they came from Scandinavia.

I always thought Norman came from Southbank?

For me it is 37% England and NW Europe, 33% Ireland, 17% Scotland, 10% Norway, 3% Sweden and Denmark

So, mostly not english.
Which is a relief.

I think the answer is Roger Moore by the way.

Very surprised there is no Doggerish in any of these claims. As we know about Doggerland being a great land bridge to Europe where for plenty of centuries people lived before the sea waters rose.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Austin Powers.

I'm confused now. I thought Doggerland was the car park between Marske and Redcar

That's probably probably a very smart comment but it is way over my head. Sorry.
In any case, my dad is Greek.

there's two though. You showing some lack of knowledge here. The one near Marske is just one car park. This is known as Doggerland beginnerland. The one near Redcar is split into 3 smaller car park areas but the whole thing is called Doggerland dreamland ... for the more experienced.

I have english mother, welsh dad. Had one of those Ancestry DNA tests and turns out im 32% welsh, 24 % english, 20% scottish, 18% irish, 6% swedish/danish. Yet count myself as English as they come.

 

[Expat Smoggie]

I always thought 100 percent English was a bacon butty made with 100 percent danish bacon! lol

 

[SydneyRed]

Irish
Scottish
Southern England
Low country DNA Belgium / Netherland area…no idea where that came from
Small % from the Baltic area over toward Estonia way

An English breakfast?

 

[Cogeur_le_Conq]

St George was Turkish by birth, but English by the grace of God.

I'm not sure the dragon was real.
