I Thought So

My father was a big student of genealogy, and I know my ancestry back 14 generations. Most of it traces back to Scotland, but there is always a mix. Now we have some science that confirms what I always thought:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/05/science/05cnd-brits.html?em&ex=1173416400&en=ff46b035b5b117b1&ei=5087%0A

But geneticists who have tested DNA throughout the British Isles are edging
toward a different conclusion. Many are struck by the overall genetic
similarities, leading some to claim that both Britain and Ireland have been
inhabited for thousands of years by a single people that have remained in the
majority, with only minor additions from later invaders like Celts, Romans,
Angles , Saxons, Vikings and Normans.
