Given that the British Isles have been settled many times by many races, it stands to reason that most people with a long line of British ancestors will be a mixture of celts, picts, angles, saxons, normans, vikings, galls.. all sorts. The idea that Britain is composed of distinct regional races is really quite laughable... fact is we're all mongrels.
i do love bringing up this fact with the neanderthal monobrow morons who delight in telling the world they're 100% english. The look of confusion they have when you ask them if they are more proud of their french, italian, scandinavian or german heratage is just priceless
its not quite right to suggest that present day french/italians/germans/scans have any more Norman/Gall/Roman/Viking/Saxon in them than we do.
if you take the Romans, they had descended from Greeks, Indo -European. North Africa and other med cultures. The other peoples of Europe are the same.
"We" meaning the British were a definate melting pot for all middle european tribes, as the Romans pushed North the continental celts came into Britain. Originally the name being Pritani, meaning Painted in Celtic. The Romans gave the county its proper name of Brittania.
By the way the early Cornish Celts went from Cornwall to Western France and not the other way round. Bretons in France used to speak a Brythonic Language which was the early Language of Wales/Southern Scotland and England.
Anyway we are all descended from Brutus of Troy.

a bit deeper than im aiming for when making the comments to them, i just do it to challenge the blinkerd view they have about being 'English'. the fact that they can trace their english bloodline back as far as their great grandparents they feel they have some sort of superiority over other people, yet have very little idea about the history of the country they are so proud of. im not much of a history buff but know enough to know when someone's guilty of ignorance.

i'd say you have a good chance of qualifying
thats a very impressive geneology thread, my uncle worked on ours but started running into problems and obstacles sometime in the early 1800's as things got a bit fragmented and hard to trace. Think it's quite rare to be able to trace the line back that far unless your a member of the aristocracy.
anything you wish to tell us your highness

Just a line of poor peasents :lol: Until one of my ancestors moved to Brighton and made a small fortune only to be given away by my great grandfather who found god :( My son is a bit of an aristocrat on his mother side. Has his own family crest. One of his ancesters was very famous so I have to bow down to him every day :lol: Sex God

Not to mention that the Celts came from Indo-Asia originally.I'm scottish and I've always found that mixing with Cornish,Welsh and Irish that the Celtic link always comes up when it comes to banter in the I don't see myself as Celtic per se it's a good ice breaker and I've found in my experience it leads to a natural be because I'm usually socially confused by that time and just think they like me.

Think Boudicca had a bloody good go as well
She had a good go, that is for sure! But as far as I know the only Legion that simply disappeared off the face of the earth was the 9th when it went to visit the Picts in Scotland. Those Scottish girls! I tell you.....! :lol:

My grandfather could supposedly beat that - and a man more removed from the aristocracy you couldn't find! - as he could trace our family's ancestory back the the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 (we were on the Scottish side!!). Sadly he died before he could pass this knowledge on the anyone who cared and as it was all in his memory it might be lost forever.

Politician wasn't he? Bit right wing I hear.
The Celts originated in central Europe about 1200BC and colonised large parts of Europe including the British Isles. They consisted of several independant tribes sharing a common culture that never made a homogenous empire and were then themselves displaced by other cultures (Rome and Germanic tribes) until they only remained in the 'Celtic fringes' of Europe.
