I'm about 47% Scandinavian, with some Italian/Greek, Western and Eastern European and 2% North African.

Ireland’s symbol, the Harp, is the same as King David’s...

I was betting on the Levant. I was close.

I had always heard that my great-grandma was half Cherokee. My genealogy research shows that she lived in Comanche territory, and that is where she raised my grandpa.

So, it is a little odd for a half Cherokee woman to live in Comanche territory, but not completely implausible.

But the Ancestry.com DNA analysis found no Native American ethnicity in my background. Instead, it shows southeastern African, the Bantu tribe. And I have compared the ethnicity results from enough relatives to figure out that great-grandma was the source of that ethnicity. I figure she claimed to be half Cherokee to hide the fact that she was a mulatto.

Oh, and I have Irish ancestors, as well.

Not true at all. The Irish are direct descendants of the Gods. That’s why they drink so much of the God’s nectar, beer.

The Scythian and Lost Tribes

So the mythology is likely correct

What about the red headed mummies in China wearing plaid?

My mother and father were Irish,
so I guess I’m Irish stew.

Lots of Scots-Irish but no Irish whatsoever. The two are different genetically, and it doesn't appear the two mixed when the Scots fled to N. Ireland.

English, German, French, some Spanish and Scandinavian going by my daughter's DNA analysis.

If it's not all based on mitochondrial DNA, the above might not hold completely true. And I didn't want ancestry with their TOS getting custody of my DNA.

God looked down upon ta earth and was saddened by what he saw his children doing. So He wept and his tears fell on ta green hills of Ireland and created ta Irish folk.

At least that’s what my wife told me.

My Dad said the Irish were Spaniards who didn’t know how to use a compass.

I think it is historically known that Celts were first recorded in known times as being in Galatea. Next they were in France and Germany then in Ireland.

The Scots were an Irish tribe.

FTA: ....surprising origins of the Irish.
They came from Leprechauns.
Where they came from I am not sure.

They are basing these ideas of broad migrations and immigration on a sample size of four. I’d be more convinced by oh 400, maybe.

Its simple evolution. God made man, man made whiskey, whiskey made the Irish. Where can I get my $200 million government grant?

That matches up well with the Milesian Legends, Iberia and then eventually Scythia.

5,000 year old DNA reveals the surprising origins of the Irish.

I was trying a way to break this to everyone gently but now that this story is out, the Irish are responsible for everything good. And anything bad the blame goes to Guinness.

Is AncestryDNA trustworthy, and how expensive is it? Thanks Katy

Ancestry has been so successful with this fake product that the real DNA companies (23 and Me, FTDNA) are copying it.

At least 23 and Me will let you set the probability levels. The standard product is 50% level of confidence. Dial it up to 80% and most of the 1-5% “matches” go away.
