Did the DNA test with Ancestry... They modify it with updated results every now and then and I’m currently 50% Irish, 47% Scottish and 3% Sweden and Denmark.
In the past I was 52% Scottish, 45% Irish and 3% Germanic...
Not sure how they come to their conclusions... But it’s pretty safe to say I’m half Irish and half Scottish... So there must be a Pict gene in there somewhere. Maybe that’s the 3%.
No Norway Viking?
Ancestry DNA sorts mine at 31% Scottish, 29% Welsh, 16% Irish, 14% England & Northwestern Europe, 8% Sweden & Denmark, 2% Finland. There may be a little Pictish buried in there. If Ancestry takes the time to tease it out, I'm sure they will update the analysis.
Linguistically, I've made progress finishing the Duolingo Welsh course. I have about 25% of the Irish course and 25% of the Scot's Gaelic course complete. I have a little better affinity for Scot's Gaelic. That may be a consequence of the fractured set of Irish dialects. Welsh has 3 dialects. Most speakers can understand all 3. The Irish speaking districts are spread all over the country and each has a fairly distinct dialect.

I got that test from Ancestry but now I’m not so sure about how accurate it is. I got a notice from them that my half-brother (same father) share 11% DNA. I don’t see how that can be, unless I’m not understanding how it works.
