I am 18% Scandinavian. 47% British Isles. And so forth.
The FTDna results say that 8000 years ago I might be related to folks in Motala, Sweden. These are all ancient origins. Or at least that is what I think it indicates.
I am 45% hunter-gatherer. I think. Kind of close to Oslo, I think.
Of course there are also indications in Germanic places further south. Lots of little brown arrows for the Linear Pottery folks, too. As far South as Bilbao, Spain.
I have a line in my family tree that came to me through my grandfather, Richard Ludlow Givens, whose mother was a Kolmetz.
I am 42% "Farmer". Them:
migrating into the European continent from the Near East. Like Syria! Of course this was also thousands of years ago.

The other category is "My Origins" which indicates that I am 99% European. "Boring"...?
So I like the Vera series (English/British Isles) location. I had a friend that went somewhere in Europe, (I forget where), but she just felt this immediate connection...overwhelmed almost that this is where her relatives came from. Well, I am sitting in Florida, but watching these series...I sense a kinship with those places, (Scandinavia, British Isles)...It must be a strong connection because those places are an ocean away!
