My paternal ancestry is lowland scots and living in County Antrim, that has stuck with me and is a large part of my being. My maternal ancestry is English, which is not as common in my area
Would love to know that myself; seems there are plenty of good answers to that question if one looks at human migrations over the last several thousand years.
Having ancestry from all three it would be intriguing to have a better understanding on that.
All basically Bronze Age populations just like the Irish. Bell Beaker who have left the most dominant genetic imprint on all those populations down to the present day.
Genetically they are all very much the same which is kind of ironic looking at how some groups treated others in the past.
Northern Irish, not Irish. I wouldn't really say British, after living in Britain and realising how different their morals and societal norms are (especially England). Maybe that's just because i'm a university student, I don't know.
But definitely a distinct culture and I don't think English people can somehow comprehend this. They think they're "Irish".
