Watching a documentary not long ago about Celts, and it claimed that the Celts first spread across Europe from Austria region. That all celtic people were the same, but broke off into differant tribe's.

Interesting that.
It would stand to reason, the vikings had a major impact on the British isles.
My family name, and my mother's maiden name before it was changed slightly, as your own one was, can traced back to vikings that fought with brain bru.

The vikings found northern America 100s of years before Columbus, it's just that the journey between north America, Canada, and the Scandinavian countries were to far apart to trade with, plus there wasn't enough of them there to get a strong enough foot hold to stay.

A lot of people here in the west of Ireland, especially where i live look like Spaniards, sallow skinned, dark hair and blue eyes. When I did a bit of research into it, as Nicepix already said, our descents came from Basque region.

They were some adventurous people of their time. Only twice were they beaten. In Canada and Greenland. The only two places they didn't settle in.
Even the metal and forging skills they had were way ahead of the rest of the known world at the time.

I have to be honest, I do like and admire cats. Independent and fantastic hunters. I wouldn't have then in the house though, just out in the yard.
