I did a DNA thingy and was equally ashamed to find out I wasnt nordic.

could be worse! Apparently I'm Gaelic, I thought I was Italian.

Those DNA testing places reply with completely random answers, and then they send your DNA to the government.

Seriously. Just look in the mirror and ask your parents about their grandparents, stupid faggots.

Gaelic

Interesting. Why did you think you were Italian?

Gramps from Sicily, Italian name, DNA shows it, but like 2% compared to something like 20+% Gaelic (Irish).

Irish are celts, Gaelic is Hebridean (Scottish celt), also Manx (Isle of Man) and some distant cousins of Welsh, Breton and Cornish with only fringe Irish.

Celts are Irish w/ Keloti and Pretanic, English (Briton before Germanic anglo invasion), French (Gaul) and Spanish (Celtiberians)

Who knows how those tests work. I've considered getting them.

I have the same story with my grandfather. And similar background. On my dads side, both his parents don't talk about where their family is from, but what I've gathered is I'm probably italian, irish, scottish, german, english.

Gaelic is a language, not a culture. Celtic. Celtic is what your trying to say.

It is very, very rare to be Gaelic with no Nordic. There are some left, apparently the Healy-Raes (political family from Kerry in the south west of Ireland) are pure Gael according to a DNA test one of them did on TV. But we had a couple of big waves of Nordic influx and they tended to adapt and mix with the locals, and were obviously a lot better looking than the locals, so nord/gael is essentially the standard Irish ethnic background these days.
