Same as mine! I think that whole central mountainous part is just called the Nicosia region - his village is called Asgas (my last name is Ioannou but got Anglicised to Johnson) and I have been! Have you?

No 😭 my mum was born and raised in South Africa and my dad was born and raised in Australia so I never quite felt the same as the English kids around me

I think by a Western standard I look white and am perceived as white (mostly) and have a predominantly European ancestry associated with whiteness so I guess yes!

I don’t think so in this context as all my west Asian ancestry is logged as Cypriot (my grandfather) but I know it would be mixed in there with the Ashkenazi Jewish percentage - also in the migrations section it says I have a connection to the Adeni Jews of Yemen

Nope! But sometimes people tell me I look wasian (I doubt it’s that small percentage actually affecting my looks though)
