  1. You come from wonderfully strong, fierce, determined and hardy people. God be with you, by your side. Guaranteed your ancestors will be waiting on the other side to tell all their secrets when you arrive ❤️

  2. My mother in law is u5a1, she has deep roots in western Ireland ❤ So, it’s original hunter-gatherer? Very cool.

  3. Then there’s me, with mito h6a1b2 which is Yamnayan. I like to think this foremother rode out with her husband or brothers to raid and win land, but who knows. She could have been the laundry wench or something worse 😅 I wonder how many women were actually known to ride out from the East with the guys? I’m sure a few did. It’s a fun idea! My dad is also downstream of R-m269 with R-Z253, which if our paper trail is correct, comes out of Western Germany. But, it’s also possible it was a NPE… he was a 35 year old newly arrived cabinet maker from Baden and married an 19 year old Irish maid via justice of the peace at an orphanage. Maybe she was already pregnant! 😅 If he was the dad (and I hope so, I took two years of German! lol) then maybe that original forefather was a bell beaker who stayed behind on the mainland? 😂 Thanks for another awesome video. It’s fun to plug in your own DNA data to the various studies coming out and effectively see where and when it could possibly link in the greater timeline of Ireland and the British Isles.

  4. Me, watching and seeing all our family haplos 😅 My husband’s is R-Z18079 (downstream of R-M269.) On 23 and me it’s relatively rare: 1 in 4,000 men have it. So his mom’s most recent mito foremother was WHG and his most recent Y forefather was Bell beaker (yamnaya derived) As the archaeology shows, and in real life, the invaders loved those local ladies ❤

  5. I’d love to see a video about them! And - the genetic connection to northwest costal England. I read that the dna is very closely related, both being WHG rooted?

  6.  @johndanielharold3633 super interesting! I have some highland ancestry from N. Uist and only learning about these guys. Norse gael Gallowglass, cool!
