You look very German to me, so, northern Germany, Scandinavia, over into the Netherlands, perhaps even further east of Germany, although I tend to think not. Most Eastern Europeans tend to have a particular "look" that sets them apart from the rest of Europeans. That's not always true, obviously.
Is it you?
Btw, I would think this even if your "handle" wasn't "Northener".
Believe it or not I have cousins who look a little bit like you. They'd kill me if I posted pictures of them, but an Italian skier from precisely my father's area has the same sort of phenotype, so I'll post him. He advertises where he comes from on his hat, "Parmigiano Reggiano".

Angela. that was bull's eye! It's me indeed. And I live in the most Northern part of the Netherlands, Groningen, coastal North Sea. My ancestors (and autosomal DNA) are dominantly Frisians and Saxons and also a bunch from North Western Germany. So perfectly predicted. What makes me less 'stereotype Northern' are my deep brown eyes, in this respect your Italian cousin has lighter eyes! By the way talking about Italy, my Y-DNA is E-V22, according to FTDNA this was Bantu Whit this kind of face a little bit surprising.....[emoji12] The best educated guess is that it's due to a raid of the Spanish Army in 1586 in Frisia especially in my oldest ancestors village, a lot of rapes were reported. And when you look at the recruitment area's of the Spanish tercios these area exactly the area's where EV22 is more than the average 1% in Southern Europe and is about 5% of the men, area of Naples, Sicily, Asturias and Andalusia. But off topic it would be strong genes if a soldier from 1586 is due to my brown eyes. More recent from both sides of my family it were my great grandmothers who had deep brown eyes! Last but not least what about refreshing the old phenotypes? The old Coon and Lundman phenotypes are outdated, they often regarded phenotypes as a sort of 'frozen products' of the past.....but terms as Borreby are still being used.....time for a chance!?

Borreby? Looks German.
Germanic for sure

Like Angela Said i also believe it could be German, Dutch even Scandinavian, except for the eyes (shape and colour) that seem to tell a different story....although they are not totally unkown in these regions

Regarding to eyes, I did an aDNA test and Ged Match has mostly nice and accurat features also an eye prediction test. That test came not even close:

So light green!!
I guess this is a classic one, brown eyes are dominant, but I have lots of recessive genes which are pointing at light eyes:
AC at: rs4778241 - High Melanin. Adds yellow, amber, or brown. Some darkening. Contributes Amber, Brown.
CC at: rs3794604 - Blocks some melanin. Often gives light colored eyes.
CT at: rs4553604 - Blue.
CT at: rs1129038 - Adds Yellow.
GG at: rs12906280 - Gray ring around outer edge
CT at: rs3935591 - Heavy melanin on Anterior Epithelium. Brown.
GT at: rs1470608 - Medium melanin on Anterior Epithelium. Gives dark eyes. AG at: rs7174027 - Adds Yellow.
Stil the result is:

So a strong: CT at: rs3935591 - Heavy melanin on Anterior Epithelium. Brown !?
has almost nothing of a 'nordic' dolicho type nor of other geographically northern types like all sorts or 'borreby' classified men - He is rather heavily 'mediter' of some sort (the inferior jaw angles could point to some South caucasus 'mediter': some croma remnants in gracilized pops, as the low skull, MAYBE the modifying element in the so called 'kymric' or 'iron-age' nordic type of Coon?? the non-indo-afghan' element in 'cappadocian' of someones? in Anatolia Near-East it could be appeared at metals ages; all the way very different from the firts Catal Höyök people)! By the way I saw some surprising "Scandinavian" actors/actresses and when I searched on the net I f: ound out they were of Yewish origin!
