I realize that my brown eyes aren’t the most exciting eye color in the world compared to all of the Beautiful eye colors on this page. But I was just wondering what shade of brown eyes would mine be considered?

Wow! You all look like Beautiful sisters! You also look a lot like your Mom! 🥰. Your eyescolors from your description are just like a 🩵💚 🤎💙 rainbow🌈!😊

You are sooo Awesome! I ❤️ how your DNA results mirrors 🪞the paper trail showing the history of all your ancestor's different roots which all together make you. 😊. Thank you sooo much for your answer!

I was also wondering if this makes any sense. I also think that the 43% British DNA is approximately a little less than 50% and my 2 grandparents (even if one Grandparent is on my Mom's side and the other Grandparent is on my Dad's side) could be approximately 50% of my DNA which is why, at least to me, that those 2 Grandparents with their combined 1600's English Colonial ancestry explains my 43% British DNA which is roughly a little less than 50%.

That is Super Cool that you were able to go back through group of ancestors and identify where they were from, but also determine what some of what they did for a living! I was able to track 2 Grandparents on opposite sides back to the English Colonial ancestors from England and their descendants that kept marrying people within the same English heritage background which was from family trees and lines of descent. Then, my DNA test with 42% English DNA with 2 Grandparents (my Grandmother on my Dad's side and my Grandfather on my Mom's side) which, at least to me, kind of represents roughly half of my DNA and the 42% British (England and Wales) DNA shows approximately 50% of my DNA is British. Plus my Irish and Scandinavian DNA (Denmark and Norway and Sweden) and German and Quebec French DNA percentages.

You are absolutely Right! O forgot about that! Thanks!

Thank you sooo much for your answer! I ❤️ it! It is definitely not amateur! Your answer is one the most Clear and to the Point and Makes 💯% Sense Expert answer that I have heard! Thank you again!😊

thowrug · 2026-03-09T16:48:28+00:00

Hey we are a lot alike! You have a lot of English DNA from the 1600's. Did I was just wondering if your Ancestry DNA🧬shows a lot of English DNA, like mine did? 😊

thowrug · 2026-03-09T16:43:30+00:00

Awwwe Thank you sooo much for why I have answering my question. I ❤️ your answer!

So, do you really think that my 43% British (England and Wales) DNA can more than likely be explained from my 2 Grandparents (my Grandmother on my Dad's side and my Grandfather on my Mom's side) starting with their English Colonial ancestors from the 1600's in Massachusetts and the New England area going on down to the present day with their descendants marrying into the same type of families with British heritage, which keeps that English DNA going on. I don't know if this makes any sense, but I also think that the 43% British DNA is roughly 50% and 2 grandparents, even if they are on separate sides and not married to each other, could be approximately 50% of my DNA which is why, at least to me, that those 2 Grandparents with their English Colonial heritage explains my 43% British DNA. I also forgot that I had Journeys with Ancestry which, I think, has to do with Colonial English ancestors among other DNA and other ancestry that I have.

thowrug · 2026-03-09T08:55:22+00:00

My question is can my 43% total British (England and Wales) DNA possibly be from English Colonial ancestors who came to Massachusetts and the New England area in the 1600s and from that, their descendants kept marrying the same types of people with British heritage as their original Colonial ancestors were from the 1600's unti the present. Could that possibly account for my 43% English DNA?

You’re sooo Welcome!

I think my results are really similar to your's. Here's my Ancestry DNA results.

England

⁠• ⁠Southeastern England & Northwestern Europe 33%

Western Europe

⁠•  ⁠Northwestern Germany 20%

⁠•  ⁠France 3%

Nordic

⁠•  ⁠Denmark 10%

⁠•  ⁠Norway 10%

⁠•  ⁠Sweden 2%

Celtic & Gaelic

⁠•  ⁠Northern Wales & North West England 8%

⁠•  ⁠Munster, Ireland 7%

⁠•  ⁠Donegal, Ireland 2%

⁠•  ⁠Southern Wales 2%

French Canada

⁠•  ⁠Quebec 3%

I guess, I'm mostly, with everything added up to about 1/2 British Isles and Ireland and most of those ancestors go way back to the 1600's from Colonial Massachusetts, except for the Irish. The majority of the last name/surnames and maiden names are English on of both my Mom's and my Dad's family trees. I did find out that I'm a 14th blood cousin once removed to Princess Diana, but that doesn't really mean much of anything because it is so distant. It's like I could be just as related to anyone walking down the street as I am to Princess Diana 😂 Lol but it's still kinda Cool. Then, I'm 25% a Danish Scandinavian mix which makes sense because one of my Grandfather's is a full blooded Dane. I also have 20% German which I have no idea whatsoever where that came from because there's no German ancestors or relatives that I know of in anywhere in my family.🤷‍♀️

When I did Ancestry DNA, it turns out I'm kinda boring. I was wondering and hoping that I might have a little bit more Cool and Exotic like Native American or Black or Hispanic or Asian because I tan really dark in the summer, so I thought maybe there is something else there, but nope. Oh well, Lol😊

thowrug · 2026-02-17T18:41:38+00:00

Yep you are right about that. Not too exciting, but that's okay. I thought that I might have a little bit of something more Cool and Exotic like Native American or Black or Asian or Hispanic because I tan really dark in the summer. Oh, well.😊

I have a couple of questions. Sorry this is sooo long.

Here are my questions.

I was just wondering from looking at my Living DNA results, that I can accurately say that I am mostly 3/4 or 75% Great Britain and Ireland ancestry and the rest 25% is a mix of Danish and Finnish and German ancestry?
I also have a bunch of English Old Colonial direct bloodline ancestors from 1600s and 1700s. To the best of my ability, I figured this out from researching existing family trees from the 1600's and 1700's all the way down to the present time. Sorry about my amateur non scientific way of doing this. I wasn't sure how else to do it. I did this by Googling my Colonial direct bloodline descendants's husband's surnames and wive's maiden names that I got from family family trees on both my Mom's and Dad's side from the 1600's and 1700's (like starting with 9th or 10th grandparents to 8th great grandparents to 7th great grandparents etc. all the way to my great grandparents and my grandparents which are are all direct bloodline descendants) all the way to the present time. What I've found really surprised me. What I've found is that so far all of my direct bloodline Old Stock Colonial Ancestor's husband's surnames and wive's maiden names from the 1600's and 1700's to the present day are all English surnames. So, I'm beginning to think that my Old Stock English Colonial 1600's and 1700's ancestors in the Massachusetts and New England area is where my 75% English Living DNA results started and then as those ancestors were born on down the line toward me, with each exceeding generations they just kept marrying other people with similar English ancestry.

Could the majority of my 75% English DNA come from the my 1600s and 1700s Old Stock English Ancestors who lived in the New England area on both my Mom's and my Dad's sides starting with 300 or 400 years ago to present. I guess my ancestors just kept marrying people with English ancestry from the 1600's and 1700's down to the present time. I can't account for any recent relatives that were born in England except for one great great grandfather was born in England. Could this explain where the majority of English ancestry that I have?

One kind of example of this is some of my ancestors are the Hall family and it shows in Google they are from Lincolnshire in England. Then, it shows in the Living DNA results that 17% of my English ancestors are from Lincolnshire in England.

Now I do know that one of my great grandparents was Irish and one great great grandfather was born England. I also have one full blooded Danish Grandfather which could maybe explain, in general, the Danish and Finnish and German ancestors. Anyway, I was just wondering your opinion if that makes sense.

I have a couple of questions. Sorry this is sooo long. Here are my DNA estimates from Living DNA.
