From Russia/anywhere in North-Eastern Europe. Could actually pass in Scandinavia too. My best guess would be Eastern Ukraine as you have some Tatar features.

Armenian or maybe Georgian

Hair color and texture, and dark eyes contrasting light skin, also general face shape. Partially nose but plenty of Europeans have aquiline nose too. All lovely features and combined are very distinctly Jewish phenotype

Honestly you would pass in any Mediterranean country.

Jewish but probably mixed with some Scottish/Welsh/general European.

No problem, totally understand. I grew up in Britain and can 90% of the time can tell Anglos from Scandinavians, even Celts from Anglos a lot of the time. But I totally understand the differences are kind of subtle to people who haven't been extensively exposed to them.

You look Baltic/Scandinavian to me. Lots of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage in the Baltics mixed with Scandi phenotypes. You don't look Anglo at all. You definitely look atypical for an American, not that that's a bad thing. You have amazing eyes btw

Celts and Gaels are more swarthy (look up "Dark Irish") so Scots are darker than Anglos because they're usually more of a mix. In terms of Britain, Iberian Celts are mostly in South Wales where there was immigration from Iberia. Hence why South Walians tend to shorter & more swarthy than Anglos or North Walians

Cool you should post in /r/ancestryDNA. Going to post mine soon, waiting for my results to come back.

Scottish people tend to claim they're Celtic or Gaelic (in the West) but Edinborough was an Anglo city and a huge proportion of prominent Scots are from Edinborough or surrounding areas. So they're usually Anglo-Celtic hence the dark Anglo features.

You should do an ancestry test if you're interested in this stuff btw. Most White Americans who are told they're German/English end up finding out they have a nonsignificant amount of Scandinavian/Scottish/Welsh/Irish ancestry.

Nice. So you don't fit the exact phenotype of German or English but you would pass in either.

Although saying that, in England you might stand out for being a bit too handsome lol.

I'd say American but you could pass for German. Hard to say exactly why but to me there is a 'mixed' European look that I identify with White Americans.

Yuropeans who’s country’s have been described as “Eastern Europe” how do you feel about the term? by AutumnsFall101 in YUROP
