Please, can someone guess my ancestry by looking at my face?
I'm new to this whole ethnicities thing. I am doing some background research on my ancestry. I traced them (through extensive research done by family member, church registries, and the like) to the following places in Spain and Ireland:
-Burgos -Navarra -Andalucia -Dublin Also, my bodytype is "big": I am 1.76 and I have big muscles, broad shoulders, thick neck, but I also have a very feminine shape (a "handfull", small waist, larger hips). For those IQ obsessed people, mine's a 132 being math my strongest area. Last edited by alicia_victoria; January 15th, 2012 at 10:24 PM. Reason: Got the answers I was looking for, but I am not here to get dates because I'm taken, but thanks to all the people who posted. |

I'd place you somewhere in Bulgaria or Romania.. Some place with gypsys, not to say you are a gypsy. But something seems 'off' for me.
Then again I probably don't know what I'm talking about. Last edited by varg; January 15th, 2012 at 09:21 PM. Reason: .. |

Yes and no.
Yes-I posted the picture so it can be seen and "analyzed" since it seems y'all know more about this than me. No-I'm also discussing other subjects of interest in here, especially in the language section because I am a polyglot (it seems the language section is my new home ) |

thanks
My great grandparents (from my dad's side) spoke that language. AS for my mom's side, her dad's side is Irish/Corsican.
I had been asked if I'm from central/eastern Europe countries all the time, which I'm not because I was born in US. Well, I guess I am more instructed in this subject. Thanks for all your help. Have a nice day. - |

Maybe...I guess I might have been a man, but it seems the penis got cut off or something when I was born.

There is always the consideration of camera lens distortion, but it does appear that you have a wide Zygomatic, a trait I have noticed in Eastern European woman.

It is funny, I typically associate Southern Europeans as short, stocky people with short limbs. You seem to be the opposite, I've seen Slavic women with almost your exact profile, sans the eye pigmentation. If I had to guess, those qualities would have been atavistic from the Germanic invasions into Spain, coupled with hardy genes from Ireland. The high cheek bones is the only thing that throws me off, possibly inherited from some kind of Western Slavic influence, or perhaps even atavism from the Proto-Slavic Vandal tribes.
At either rate, those saying to lack "Caucasoidalness" are quite off, to say the least. |

Middle Eastern makes a lot of sense, since Andalucia (where my mother's side of the family is) was inhabited by Moors, but the Amerindian one is soooo far fetch I mean, how can I be Amerindian when nobody in my bloodline is from Indigenous origin?!
