Ancestry and Family History
Ian Newman • December 3, 2018
DNA is a wonderful thing. Now we all have access to DNA profiling, strange and unexpected anomalies have come to light. Those of us living in the western fringes of the United Kingdom; Cornwall, West Devon, Wales feel a kinship and regarded ourselves as Celts. So it's interesting that there is a very strong link between those areas 'DNA - wise' but not with the Celts who migrated across central Europe and up through Iberia during the Iron Age. So perhaps, genetically, we aren't Celts but, in fact, descended from the Ancient Britons who took on the Celtic lifestyle because they liked the look of it.
That doesn't take away our distinctiveness, in fact it probably enhances it. Just when you thought you knew something for certain..........
