[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most of us with Scots Irish or Irish Protestant ancestors just think of ourselves as American, because our ancestors arrived in the  1600s and 1700s and intermarried with English, Scottish, and others over the years.

If you look at the Ancestry profiles for a lot of middle-aged and older white Southerners they are a mix of English/Northern European, Irish, Scottish, and [b]Scandinavian[/b].  A not insignificant percentage will have some African ancestry as well. [/quote]

Not Scandinavian.  Unless you're referring to the Danes who went to Britain in the 9th century.[/quote]

DP, but yes. I am southern scots irish, confirmed by ancestry.com, but I also have ten percent scandianvian. It is almost certainly from the ones that migrated to Britain centuries before my family came to America.[/quote]

Yes, I’m just referring to the profiles on sites like 23&Me and Ancestry.  Not suggesting that a bunch of Danes and Swedes ended up in North Carolina and Georgia. [/quote]
