European ancestry
Continental heritage roots
European ancestry refers to family lineage tracing back to Europe—the ethnic and genetic heritage of people whose forebears came from European countries.
The phrase appears in demographic surveys, genetic testing results, and discussions of race and ethnicity: The study focused on participants of European ancestry.
In American contexts, it often serves as a more precise alternative to "white," acknowledging that whiteness is a social category while ancestry is genealogical.
