Ho scoperto che alcune persone nella mia famiglia sono di origine islandese. Ma i miei risultati non sembrano mostrarne alcun segno. Come sono anche i risultati islandesi? Mio nonno ha l’1% islandese

Lots of Icelandic people on Ancestry have 100% Icelandic.
I’m Icelandic Canadian, so to speak, where my great grandmother on my paternal side was born in Iceland. I have 11%, which is close to the 1/8th that you’d expect from someone with a great grandparent with 100% Icelandic ethnicity.
1% could be considered noise, as some people with a combo of Norwegian and Celtic can be similar to Icelandic people. If you don’t have known family history it’s probably noise.

A native Icelander’s family tree is as close to a solved problem as you’re gonna get. We use records, not genetics, to trace our lineage – except for stuff like paternity tests. If you want to find your Icelandic roots, find an Icelander who’s related to you and ask them for their ancestry.
It probably looks like “Iceland” followed by some percentage.
ethnicity is a social construct and can not be gleamed from genetic tests. what those tests do is compare your genes to areas where said genes are common. the accuracy of the data depends on how much genetic research has been done in a given area, which is why results get laughably nonspecific for sub saharan africa
