Hello all,
First time poster, long time reader.
I recently got back my results from ancestry dna and it is as follows:
50% Ireland
33% Portugal
6% Wales
6%. England and northwestern Europe
3% France
2% Scotland
( my parents are natives of Ireland and Portugal)

The part that confuses me is that when I uploaded my raw data from AncestryDNA into “promethease”
(A paid site that break down your autosomal raw dna so you can see past haplogroups and genetic health risks) I’m assuming most people on eupedia are familiar with promethease.
I was surprised to see the Y haplogroups:
H1a1a1a (M197)
H1a (M69)
H1a1a (M82), as well as

D2, D1a1, and D2a1. Can anyone explain this?
 
That's pretty weird, H Haplogroup comes from the South of India, which they themselves descend from a population ancestral to that same land.

If you go to a Page in this same website 'Haplogroups of Ancestral European populations' you can see in the late Prehistory there's some Y DNA H in Western Europe.

Also, that Indian Hp is the one of the Gipsy/Roma people. It has a presence in Spain, so maybe the 33% Portugal explains something.

But if you're like 50% Irish and virtually all European, your family must have been mixing for centuries/millenia.
