Regional Inheritance


Recommended Posts

There's been a program on TV describing the variations in origin of english people. Using DNA comparisons with europe the object was to determine who their racial/cultural ancestors were. People are only invited if their family has been present for three generations where they currently live, and its an oddity that most people live where their ancestors did, more or less. Its been interesting so far because northumbrians are either danish vikings or anglo-saxons - who basically have the same DNA! The norse vikings went to scotland, wales, and ireland. Meanwhile the danish bunch who went to france later invaded us again in 1066! The poor old celts seem to have had a hard time of it, and the conclusions are that many were dispossessed or simply eradicated.
