  2. In my father's line I come from the Celtic Eburone (R1b1a1b1a1 etc.). On my mother's side I am H5a-152. My mother's line was matrilenary 400 years ago (now Duisburg). Men who married were given the name of their wife's mother. I can't find anything about the importance of women in Hallstatt and later Celtic cultures.

  3. Well, where the hell do I come from, because I'm Spanish with RM269 and I don't understand myself. On the one hand I get Iberian, Italian, Irish, Central European and Baltic or Finnish ancestry in modern DNA and on the other hand I get Western Paleolithic hunter gatherer, Anatolian Neolithic, Eastern European steppe shepherd and Neanderthal in ancient DNA.

  4. Thanks for the video. Although a little out of date now, the 2006 Oxford University study found that, in England, 64% of people are descended from Celts, outnumbering the descendants of Anglo- Saxons by about three to one.

  5. I'm decended from clan Morrison and clan Gordon. There are few others from marriage but these two were the most recent in my line. My maternal grandmother was a Morrison and my paternal g grandmother was a Gordon. I love your channel, thank you for all the work you do.

  6. Genetically the Cornish are much more similar to the rest Of England than they are to other Celtic nations. As you pointed out. How Celtic or even Cornish is Cornwall these days? The 2021 census showed only 14% of the population of Cornwall considered their identity as Cornish, and another 1.6% selected Cornish in combination with one or more UK identities. Cornish people are a minority in Cornwall now. Cornwall has been inundated with people from elsewhere in recent years, mostly from other parts of England.

  11. Great video. Your hypothesis are plausible. Having said that, I think that the correlation between R1b and red hair is strong in Western Europe and could have been stronger in the past even among Udmurts. From an autosomal perspective, they have one of the highest percentages of Steppe Pastoralists ancestry, the rest being mainly siberian. Their genetic history is somewhat similar to the one of other European finno-ugric people, where a high prevalence of N y chromosome haplogroups is correlated with high Steppe ancestry. It is obvious that R1a and R1b were the prevalent haplogroups in origin, replaced later by N trough a male driven finno-ugric migration. Red hair was even more prevalent in Central Asia in previous times : the Wusun and the Tocharians had almost all red hair, according to chinese sources and surviving frescoes.Not surprisingly Afanasievo and Tocharians ( and possibly Wusun) had R1b as prevalent haplogroup

  13. The island has a very interesting and crazy history. Thanks for the education of it. I got 30 percent Scotland DNA. I imagine many people nowadays have ancestors who walked those lands. The whole thing is fascinating.

  20. I love your Scottish or Welsh accent! Judging what I've heard from listening to other Scottish accents, I'm guessing that it's a Scottish accent!

  21. Scythian connections?? Found this interesting in my research: They have been called variously Scythians, Thracians, Cimmerians (and Kurgan Culture), Sarmatians, Cumans, Alans, Huns, Tatars, Turks, Slavs, Bulgars and Goths. In Saratov on the Lower Volga River in Russia, up to 1 in between 3 and 4 people possess this distinctive marker. In Slovenia, at the crossroads of Barbarian incursions into the Roman Empire, as many as 22% of the inhabitants carry it. It is also notable in Ashkenazi Jews, certain Mongols and some Turks. Minimal frequencies occur, on the other hand, in Asians like the Chinese or Indians. One minor branch is found in Malaysia and Australian Aboriginals, pointing to the relatedness of all humans. Another expansion centered on Egypt and became prominent among Berbers..

  22. Have you ever considered doing a video on rurik the red I assume he was a redhead I also heard that the RUS in Russia and Belarus means red is that true? Katherine of Aragon Henry the 8th first wife was a redhead and she was from Spain. Sorry I’m rambling but I’m a redhead and there aren’t many YouTubers that have put videos out on red hair

  23. I've been to LAnse aux Meadows. It's beautiful if you get there on a sunny, summer day. It appears to have been a small way station occupied for a decade maybe. It was discovered by Scandinavian scientists following the the directions in the Sagas and then the local Newfies pointed them to the exact spot. They thought it was an old Indian village.

  24. From a statistical point of view a sample size of 8 is virtually meaningless. As you said in your post: . . . "perhaps: perhaps not". As scientists always like to say: more work is needed.

  25. Around the time when the Romans retreated south from the Antonine wall to the newly being built Hadrian's wall? Scotland was too tough for the Romans.

  26. Yeah mate my Irish surname means Son of Olaf even though we are very old Gaelic

  27. Many of the later peoples who came to England were already racial mixed. The Normans were a mixture of Viking and local French people. The Norman invaders took with them many Breton horsemen with and consequently added a small imput of Celtic DNA to England in the 11th century. Later people known as Flemings immigrated to Britain from parts of Netherlands. These people spread through parts of England, Wales and Ireland, they lost their indentity but would have added their DNA which would have been similar the earlier Saxon people.

  31. A few of my ancestors fought at Culloden, however they weren't active participants as a clan, they did however engage at Bannockburn, very much so, and were ardent support to Robert The Bruce, his daughter Marjories daughter, Isabella, married my 25th great grandfather

  32. Clan McQueen here our motto is "faithful and constant" always enjoyed learning about my heritage

  33. Everyone in my family has blue eyes except me, I have very light green eyes!

  35. Thank you for your insights and happy New Year!

  36. I have mostly Mediterranean (Spanish, Italian) descent and my eyes are hazel. They tend to look “brown” from a distance, but from up close, you can see the color. People in my family have brown and hazel eyes primarily, with recessive green eyes skipping generations.

  37. I think they were Celtic people like the Irish and there was a lot of interaction between the peoples

  38. As someone who drinks so much milk I need to buy two boxes every month, I'm glad I inherited the right genes even though I'm mixed.

  39. Ironically, here in Scandinavia the Viking Age is considered to end precisely when the three kingdoms of Denmark, Sweden and Norway are unified under each their own king. That is, when centralized power and organization emerges, the distributed and haphazard tribalism of the Vikings is over.

  40. I have hazel eyes, from the USA here. I am told they change color depending on my mood, clothing, the light. I have a thick dark grey ring around the outside, green and then small amount of brown,amber around the pupils. My mother had blue eyes and my father has one brown eye and the other is almost black. Our heritage is Irish, German, English and Native American. I am the only one in my family with hazel eyes, everyone else is brown or blue.

  41. I'm not an official "member" of any, but descended from Burns, Boyd, MacDonald, Murray, among others. Burns has been a confounding one concerning its origins. I have a lot of "cousins" from the Scottish Borders, but my Y-DNA now seems to point directly to the O'Bjorn/O'Beirnes "Burns" of Roscommon, Connacht, Ireland. So at least Boyd, MacDonald, and Murray among others.

  42. True or no, this is the story I was raised with. Thanks for the re-cap. Cheers!

  43. Thanks for this information! Certainly got my mind whirring! I recently did my DNA, i am 27% Scottish 11% Baltic 46% Scandanaivian 5% irish 6% Balkan N a tiny bit of Welsh Born in East Anglia to a Cockey dad and an Anglo American mum 😅 Once again cheers for provoking my thoughts

  44. Perfect. New advances in DNA research show recently acquired genetic evidence of our history. I also do my own research, homework. Studying linguistics, genetic similarities and cultural similarities, show a strong correlation between Gaelic and Scythian culture, Yamnia culture, beaker bell culture, corded ware culture. Etc. ad nauseous

  45. i reckon it was at the azores, within the mid-atlantic ridge

  50. Its no surprise that such a multi-ethnic empire didn't leave a particularly strong ethnic trace in any of its provinces. The two particular place names that I think may be linked to the Roman Empire in our neck of the woods are Dumfries (Fort of the Frisians - Roman Germanic Auxiliary troops) and I suspect Loch Humphrey may be connected as well, as Humphrey meaning Hun friend (lets keep football aside for the moment) might also link to Roman Auxiliaries, it being basically on the western end of the Antonine Wall. Its rather pleasing, as I live in the territory of the Meaetae, that we sent Septimius Severus packing, only for him to retreat south and die in York.
