[Fwd: Re: DNA Research Questions?]

Not quite true. The Angles and Saxons came over from Europe, but not
all of the people presently in England at that time intermarried with
them. Wales and Cornwall have large Celtic populations to this day, and
there are places in England where you can still find people who are of
Celtic descent and who do not have any Germanic blood at all (and you
still have parts of France that have people with Celtic blood). You
also have some parts of Scotland that are populated by people who have a
mixture of Celtic and Norse ancestors, due to Viking raids and such.

See the article at this site which is interesting about the Myths of British
Ancestry.

In the alternative, query on Myths of British Ancestry and you will find
multiple articles addressing the issue.

Personally, I much prefer Richard Armor's "1066 and All That".
While not what one would consider accurate - deliberately so -
it makes English history _much_ more enjoyable. Dunno if
it's still in print, but you might want to look it up.

Now, it could be that this Haplogroup is Celtic, but that's not the same
as being English, and the last I heard, they main Celtic group that they
were able to identify was one from Ireland, not England (involving
descent from a particular Irish king).
