Theory that \'Celts\' are a myth

[authun]

I am descended from a Viking and his name was Erik ... I've even seen the film! :wink: What more proof could anybody need? :twisted:

I have a distinct marker, P109 which belongs to a larger norse group, L22, but my lot didn't even arrive until the 12th cent when they migrated from French Flanders. Keen as some of these guys are to equate it to the vikings, I think my lot must have stopped off around Calais to stock up on duty free but decided to hang around for a few centuries. Maybe there were some pretty girls around or maybe they were all too sea sick to make the channel crossing or maybe they just liked the local moules but probably they just found the vikings too noisy and wanted a bit of peace and quiet. My lot and the vikings parted company a few centuries before there were any vikings. Despite what these guys tell me, I don't think rural Worcestershire, where they have been for 800 years, is noted for its Scandinavian heritage.

cheers
