It is romantic to think that England has not changed since the germanic takeover of 1,500 years ago, but it has, as you wrote. The northern industrial areas have been "Celticised" somewhat by Irish...

Those from Germanic societies who come to have experience with Poles in their own country, will always notice one thing in general: Things just work more poorly there. (I know this from my own...

I get tired of Russia-worship by well-meaning but very misguided people.

Russia is, almost definitely, the strongest state entity for anti-nationalism on the European continent, today as...

That is an interesting thought. I tried to find it elsewhere, to prove that such a pattern can exist, but I could not. North-Germans are likewise 10 times as many as Danes, but the Dane-blob is...

I must repeat my earlier skepticism of the British result. The native-white stock of that part of Britain should be among the most Germanic of all. Look at the location of the marker.

That any...

I would be surprised if there is any American still alive who has 100% East-Prussian ancestry. Maybe someone very old. (If I understand this study, it tests many alleles and not the clumsy...

I would bet 100 to 1 that she is descended from post-1945 Slavic immigrants. There is no true Latvian who would be "Proud of Russia", anymore than a Palestinian-Arab would be "proud of Israel". It's...

You are being modest. Expect the worst riots in the history of the USA if King Obama is not crowned next week!

What is "the" language? Surely it is not the Finnic languages of the Baltic, two which still exist. (Finnish, Estonian)...
Latvian nor Lithuanian are not Slavic languages. Proving distant...

What does that mean?

I posted the names of his great-grandparents, which I found some genealogists had done using old Census records. The Census includes the birthplaces of parents.

Is it meant "eastern Germany's first minaret"? Because I am sure I saw a mosque in Leipzig some years back when I was there. It was just a plain building though.

My impression is only Borreby.

There can be no question of that.

The viewing of pornography results in... (post #18)


Total monasticism is not the goal: No one is going to criticize sex within marriage.

The goal rather...

As a younger man in the 1970s, I think he was basically Nordid proper. He had a lesser amount of Faelid which was negligible in his appearance at that time, but emerged as he got older and is there...

Well he is smiling in that one (and only that one), which could have that effect.

To SouthernBoy: If you are English, Scottish, and Irish; How can you say you are "ethnically-mixed" any more than half of the people of the British Isles? I think you are just being silly here.

I...

They are not an "Eastern European" ethnicity in any possible broader meaning of the phrase. They are not Slavs, not at all in any way.

The Finns are perhaps best viewed as their own metaethnicity....

Here is a general question that comes to mind from this:
Will brothers/sisters (nearly-)always be approximately the same type? What do you think?

I am unsure what is being asked; genetically no one should "ignore" as "irrelevant" a source of their ancestry even as little as 1/32.

But: Ethnicity is not (strictly) Ancestry, as Pscynoaut...

A decent example of a woman with strong influence from both the Alpine type and from some longheaded North-/Central-European type (could be Nordic but not definitely, could be Faelid just as well).

A good thread to consult:

Lappids and Racial Variation in Modern Sami People

Before the Norwegians and Finns began to interact very much with them (from the 1700s and especially from the late 1800s), The Lapps looked much different than they do now. With small groups like...

I was going to say Noric. But when I saw Fortis' post and thought about it, I realize that Keltic-Nordic is approximately the same thing [Nordic + Dinaric].

Noric is just a bit more dinaricized...

Alpinoid and Mediterranoid seem predominant. (So I agree w/Oski).

QuietWind, what do you see in her which is Faelid? I fail to see it.

I would also say that photos with true hair color is...

It is puzzling that all of Germany's neighbors call it something different. Not slight changes in pronunciation to accommodate the language, but totally different roots:

German: Deutschland...
