No you probably come from a slav tribe. Saxons were a tribe in Germany. Anglos a different tribe.
Take an ancestry / 23andme/ myheritage test and see what comes up. You would be surprised.
- Retric 6y agoJust realize those generic tests are designed more for entertainment than scientific rigor. They are looking at associations between genetic traits and groups, but it’s not like those groups where clones of each other or even genetically isolated.
- umanwizard 6y agoThey’re not 100% rigorous but mine at least was pretty accurate, matching what I knew to be true from family oral history.
- barry-cotter 6y agoSlavs were not a tribe in Germany. Slavs speak an entirely different language family from the Germanic one, as different as the Romance one. The Slavic language family stretches from Russian through Ukrainian and Belarusian, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Serb and Slovene, among others.
- type0 6y agoSlavic languages are as broad or more broad as Germanic ones. Ethnicity and the mother tongue does not always go together, see for example Wallonia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallonia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallonia
