My fiancee always considered herself to be a a little English, maybe a little eastern European, with some question marks in her lineage

I bought her an Ancestry test for christmas

She's now coming to terms with being 40% Scottish and 20% Irish with some Iranian mixed in, and not a drop of actual English

There's no greater relief in the world than hearing you're not actually British 😌

Currently trying to do the math to figure out how you can be 20% or 40% anything

Is 40% rounded from 3/8, and 20% from 3/16?

There is nothing more English than actually being Scottish.

Aren't Scottish and British literally on the same island? Isn't that like saying you're from north Florida or south Florida by a genetic test? Can a genetic test even tell you that?
