What’s the story of my nickname?
my family and including my fathers side are of Sámi origins a lot, we have a certain look that can be visible to some people in society. I’ve taken different DNA-tests with MyHeritage and 23andMe and father has taken MyHeritage DNA-test to make me happy to know our family and ethnicity estimates. The new MyHeritage ethnicity estimate is different from earlier version so I’ll refer to the menu on right side with my ethnicity estimates.
my father got the nickname ‘Gilbert the Lapp’ because he was different and victim of severe bullying and xenophobic abuse. My fathers name isn’t Gilbert btw.
polarMidnight, my nickname here is from the conditions in natural light of our Arctic environment, polar nights during some months of the winter and the Midnight sun in most of our summer time. Cloudberry is from culture in Finnmark county of the use of the cloudberry in food, drinks and last but not all least; dessert.
I don’t have a close relationship with my father, he is suffering from chronic addictions to several substances and had a difficult past including childhood and youth adversity and he was the victim of a serious hate crime.
My father on earlier version of MyHeritage ethnicity estimate had Scandinavian/Sámi, Finnish/Sámi, Greek/Southern Italian, Arctic indigenous/Inuit, Central Asian, West Asian and indigenous American.
