That’s flippin interesting u4ea, I am not too sure what that would mean for me but thanks for mentioning it. I do rather fancy having my own private beach, somewhere nice and not too ostentatious, maybe St Heliers or similar

I used to live in Dannevirke, for 18 months or so, really quite enjoyed the lifestyle down that way

Mitochondrial DNA backs up matrilineal inheritance over patrilineal any day. Plenty of cultures still trace family trees through the Mother too.

This means war! One of my collateral ancestors was involved in that. We haven't forgotten. Or forgiven. We've a bone or two to pick with those interloping Scandanavians also. They should bugger off back where they came from.

Scotts of the Dales, and earlier , Britons of Bernicia and Rheged. Later Angles of Lancastershire and Chester . And Leonese. Never Spanish. "The Espanas are a geographical convenience , not a nativity "

And Maori. And a few other bits and pieces .

So where does all that fit in on forms? I ain't European. Or Maori. Or Pakeha. I'm a Kiwi. End of story.

As the Scotti's were an Irish clan that moved to the area now known as Scotland, and surplanted the Picts, who were the natives of the area,

this makes you a mixture of the

Irish and the Irish

Definitely an Irish statement.
