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.

Northern Irish are basically lowland Scots. They made great pioneers.
Highland Scots came from Ireland and settled in the Western Islands and the North of Scotland. They are also mixed with Norse.

My grandfather was Northern Irish and looked very much like an Irishman. I have the so called Celtic disease, easily managed by donating blood three times a year.
Also Swede, Scot and Welsh mixed in for good measure.
