That would be interesting. I have 10.3% Lincolnshire yet no documented evidence from there!

Maybe Denmark needs to be deep tested!

I wonder if Lincolnshire might also be a possible indicator...

Russian from river Don region. All recent ancestors from Southern Russia.

To be honest I'm surprised by my supposed Italian as much as British.

[Pylsteen]

I get 20% Lincolnshire. Also 25% SE England.

How can my son be more than 50% British? It is impossible no?

[Xtian]

I get 20% Lincolnshire. Also 25% SE England.

Of all nationalities I would say Dutch is the most likely to score some British. English people on the east coast are very similar to Dutch genetically.

I think so too; by lack of Dutch samples they chose East England. In total they gave 68,8% British, 19% Scandinavian, but only 1,5% Germanic, so I really wonder what their Germanic category is. I hope their German and Benelux projects will be done soon (some years probably).

I think it's a question of the reference system they chose, considering its origin in England !
I think the reference system origin needs to move much further south-east, probably towards the Balkans.

[ADW_1981]

I think they are wrong with these English genetic references. They force its. All my ancestors up to grade 5-6 are from a small area in southern Romania, but... they attributed me 8.7% England and even 10% NW Europe!

There was a contingent of German Hungarians who settled in Transylvania, but I would agree, most modern Romanians are of Slavic ancestry.
