timeline + results history suggestions
Hi! Would really appreciate input from those historically-inclined to better understand the proposed timeline on my ancestry as provided by 23&me. I am vaguely aware the Portuguese invaded Sri Lanka (my father's birthplace) before the 1600s, but doesn't necessarily line up with the timeline here.
I am also curious to know ways of interpreting various ethnicities beginning at the same time and tapering off at different points.(i.e. 5-8+ vs 6-8+)
any info on trace swedish ancestry?????? in my childhood there was talk of irish/scott ancestry due to slavery/indentured labour in guyana (my mother's birthplace) but nothing as shown in the report
I would really like to specifically trace my chinese and african roots, but the only relatives I can find on the site who dont share my other ancestry are quite far removed (7th-9th cousins). Is that a sensical method for gathering info? my thought process being that I could better delineate and trace those specific lineages and pinpoint their entry into my lineage without confusion from my other ethnic composition.
Apologies, I really am a bit clueless about this stuff.
Also hopefully this is an ok way to post, I've never posted on reddit before o.o
if there is any other helpful info I could share, do lmk :+)
