Who are Anglo-Americans?

Anglo-Americans are Americans with ancestry primarily from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and related northwestern European settler populations. The profile reflects colonial American, British Isles, later European immigrant, regional U.S., and modern diaspora histories.

English is the main language. Anglo-American is a broad cultural and ancestry label, so regional pages such as Anglo-American Texas and Anglo-American Utah are useful for seeing how different U.S. settler-descended averages compare.

As a genetic reference, Anglo-American is useful for comparison with Anglo-American Texas, Anglo-American Utah, Dutch North Brabant, Flemish West Flanders, French Normandy Seine-Maritime, English, Welsh, Flemish Belgium, Cornish, and Dutch.

What is Anglo-American DNA closest to?

In the World Genetics modern G25 table, Anglo-American is closest to Anglo-American Texas, Anglo-American Utah, Dutch North Brabant, Flemish Belgium West Flanders, French Normandy Seine-Maritime, English, Welsh, Flemish Belgium, Cornish, and Dutch.
