You are connected through shared ancestors to people from England and parts of the Southern Uplands of Scotland. Today, English ancestry is a melting pot of Celtic-like ancestry and ancestry associated with later waves of migration of Germanic peoples, including the Angles, Saxons, and Danish and Norwegian Vikings.



You are connected through shared ancestors to people from South East and South Central England, including much of what was once the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex, as well as parts of the neighboring kingdom of Mercia near the River Severn. Some of your ancestors may have lived in this area, and you may have relatives who still live here today.

Commonly reported recent ancestor locations in this genetic group are: Kent, Gloucestershire, East Sussex, West Sussex, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Surrey, Dorset, Somerset


You are connected through shared ancestors to people from southern England, Essex, and East Anglia, a region that once encompassed the medieval Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms of Wessex, East Anglia, Kent, Essex, and Sussex. While English is the predominant language spoken in this genetic group, some speak Cornish, a Brittonic Celtic language native to Cornwall that was revived at the beginning of the 20th century.

Commonly reported recent ancestor locations in this genetic group are: Norfolk, Cornwall, Suffolk, Devon, Kent, Oxfordshire, Dorset, East and West Sussex, Somerset, Surry, Essex, Gloucestershire, and London




You are connected through shared ancestors to people from Wales and England’s Welsh border counties. Wales was primarily ruled by Celtic Britons until it came under the influence of the Kingdom of England during the High Middle Ages. Today, many people in Wales still speak Welsh, a Brittonic Celtic language with ancient roots in western Britain.

Commonly reported recent ancestor locations in this genetic group are: Gwynedd, Swansea, Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, Cardiff, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Worcestershire, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, and Shropshire

You are connected through shared ancestors to people from South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire in the foothills of the South Pennines—a region that was once part of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria and the Viking Kingdom of York before the unification of England. Some of your ancestors may have lived in this area, and you may have relatives who still live here today.

A Geordie is basically a Scot who had his head kicked in and was thrown over Hadrian's wall (my old Corporal used to say).
