Sorry this isn't a more specific question, but I've recently discovered that my biological grandfather came from Jersey and his family had been there for centuries. A question has since come up that I've researched a bit online but honestly to no avail. I know it's very near France but also has a strong English influence and is a crown dependency, so I'm wondering where the people of the island fit in ethnically. DNA testing has put my Jersey side as "Broadly Northwestern European" as well as English, but I don't see much of a connection to France. If anyone has some insight, I'd appreciate any info on my newfound Channel Islands heritage! Thanks so much!
