      Not so sure why you're so worried about being part English? The English are themselves a blend of five or six ethnic groups. I'm slightly more than half Germanic, an eight of myself Swiss (Mennonite). The rest 23&Me lists as British isles, lumping GB and Ireland together. They also show the counties within highest correlations, and that shows up highest in London, Glasgow, and everywhere in Ireland. People just came to the U.S. and fell in love. Thankfully, I've no slavers in my ancestry (so far as genealogy shows). That is my only dread. Meanwhile, I've got a sliver each (~1%) of Native American and African. I also have a few alleles from all around the world, including East and South Asia, and North Africa. Love really does make the world go 'round.

      The North East is actually a Scandinavian hub in England. A lot of Vikings settled there. It would make sense for a good fraction of your DNA to come from Scandinavia. As for the Irish/Scottish/Welsh, it's probably referring to general Brittonic Celt ancestry. The North East was relatively free from Anglo-Saxon influence, unlike the South East and East Anglia. Those two places are where most of the West Germanic influence comes from.
      Scholars and 'experts' will try to say that British Isles DNA comes from all sorts of places and try to make it complicated; when you look at who settled where, the results provided there's no skewing from other influences are pretty much common sense.

    Do you know your mtdna? I’m really curious about deep ancestry, all that stuff before all the European countries existed.
    That said, I know I have English due to my mum taking a dna test. It’s part of being an American whose ancestors arrived on this continent during the 17th-18th centuries. I can say, however, that my mum is more Irish/Scots/Welsh than English, but it’s still there. She’s also German & French, a bit of Finnish & Russian, and possibly a smidgen Ashkenazi.

      Black Irish more likely originally referred to Irish on the west of Ireland. The link to Spanish Armada can be traced back to writings of Victorian anthropologists in the late 19th century. Extremely unlikely any Spanish settled, there's no evidence of Spanish speakers being around for more than a few weeks after the ships stranded, they either drowned trying to sail back to Spain or were murdered.

I guess I can only speak for myself here but I feel a little bit awkward, like 'how am I supposed to feel?' because you're trying to make me feel guilty and bad about being English, but then coming from a family of Irish immigrants I'm also in the same position as you (our families suffered centuries of oppression at the hands of the English, that's undeniable).

      That's interesting! It probably does represent Scottish DNA, as many in southern Scotland do have Anglo-Saxon ancestry, with the northernwestern parts being more Gaelic/Irish, and I'm sure plenty of mixing in between.

    Might do the DNA test I believe I have a lot of Irish blood in me. But it might be from the wrong side of the silly political divide. That said I am and always will 100% European and will always consider myself so.

    Imagine if all your blood is from a teeny, tiny part of Europe, except for _one_ relative of yours who lives on a remote mountain-top in Madagascar.

      There’s nothing wrong with being English so to speak but supporting the English rule and all that they have done to our country and many many more is what we disagree with. What English rule stands for is disgusting to us Irish and yet we get called terrorists. Bullies.

    Some groups of irish had been in Spain before they came to ireland. Also a lot of irish worked in rome way back in the day. Well half of ireland is related to each other because of high king o'neil
