Gone back nearly 60 years and found me dad ???

I wouldn’t know, Scotland Yard have all the pictures of my mob ! Lol lol 

I think so. But from your point of view it is better to tell your mates that you are descended from heroic  ice-age hunter-gatherers rather than some wop waiter from Benidorm.

Did one of those DNA things  came out English 79.5% Irish, Scottish and Welsh 15.6% and what I have taken loads of stick for Iberian 4.9%.

Cheers Arry

The Iberian may be Catalonian. During the Ice Age the sea receded causing a land bridge between England, Ireland and France. Coastal dwellers from Spain and France followed the shoreline and some settled in Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Until DNA tests became more easily accessible historians thought that the Spanish blood found in parts of Ireland and Scotland was from Spanish sailors who were shipwrecked trying to get back home around the top of Scotland and the west coast of Ireland after the Armada was defeated by Francis Drake's naval force. DNA tests have disproved that theory and place the bloodline as Ice Age migrants.

I read this myself as well, I love this kind of history and research. This is where the Celts came from originally, and dominated the native hunter gathers that were here at the time.

In Arry's case he is obviously related to the Iberian coastal foragers who migrated up the Atlantic seaboard looking for mushrooms ?
