KenSE you must be Y haplogroup R1b1a2... like my Cornwall folk (U106) and the vast majority of the men in England :-D

my other family is I2b1, a whole nother kettle of fish ... one on which the project leaders and members at FTDNA are doing very interesting research, but not of the kind that finds me any family

I actually don't find the ethnic composition stuff that Ancestry gives very useful (or accurate) ... the nitty gritty is what I was after and have had such luck with but I know I am a rare bird in the world of DNA testing on that score, at least until a lot more people join the databases

Researching:
You remember me. :)

from today's MailOnLine ........................



"The Cornish are to be recognised as a national minority group for the first time, it has been revealed.

Chief Secretary Danny Alexander announced the decision today, saying it meant for the first time that Cornish people would receive the same rights and protections as other minorities in Britain.

It will also mean they are classified under the European Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities the same as the UK's other Celtic people, the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish."
