Must admit I quite fancy this .......am not interested in looking down the family tree....there are a few nasty people there who I have no wish to learn anything more about....but the dim distant blood line does interest me.

Yes wicked Vikings! When I visited Denmark I came over all Lily Allen and contemplated, as one does, that on behalf of Britain, maybe I should have demand an apology from them for their disgraceful behaviour in the 9th century, but well I didn't ..........cos the thing is they're ever so nice now grin I can honestly say I didn't see any pillaging anywhere just affable people on the bicycles smile

So far, many from South Wales, nothing from Anglesey or Caernarfonshire.

Wicked vikings raping my family ?

How exciting Annie. Don't forget to link your tree to your DNA.
Have fun discovering all your new found relatives smile

in 903 the Vikings visited Anglesey

Jalima1108 Fri 11-Jan-19 15:21:20

I'm sure the Vikings visited Anglesey .....

But mostly Welsh smile

I believe the ancient Britons were pushed west into Wales and Cornwall by the Romans, how far back do you want to go Annie? grin Well of course there must have been some tribes in Wales at that time I imagine, to greet them or not! Everyone wandered about for centuries trying to find Utopia, however in your case wander no more cos you know you are living in yours smile

? ??????? Cymru am Byth

I thought I would have to remove my request to have the Welsh flag at my funeral

Squiffy Fri 11-Jan-19 10:22:07

You're definitely Welsh Annie! You're the Welsh equivalent of seaside rock - Wales is imprinted through your body (and soul!) grin

Anniebach Fri 11-Jan-19 10:21:11

Irish ? Bet some of my Anglesey lot had affairs with the Irish travellers who camped on Anglesey

What’s that old saying Annie , ?
If it looks like a dog, barks like a dog then it’s a dog
So I think you can safely say you are Welsh, ( but not a dog! ?)

MissAdventure Fri 11-Jan-19 10:12:31

You're the most Welsh person I know, Annie. smile

Katek Fri 11-Jan-19 10:11:59

I would say so......lots of Celtic roots there annie!

Niobe Fri 11-Jan-19 10:11:20

Of course! If your heart is Welsh so are you.

Anniebach Fri 11-Jan-19 10:07:48

78%. England,Wales and Northwestern Europe

22%. Ireland and Scotland

Am I Welsh ?

Katek Fri 11-Jan-19 09:06:30

Open it annie!! Don’t keep us in suspense! I did mine last year and got some interesting results.

Anniebach Fri 11-Jan-19 09:05:47

Nooooo, I may not be Welsh , if i’m not, who am I , I will have lost me ????????

Jalima1108 Fri 11-Jan-19 09:04:37

I've been wondering if you have some Viking DNA , Anniebach - thought I'd say that before you (may) reveal all!

I'm probably wrong

Luckygirl Fri 11-Jan-19 09:02:55

Open it - please do! smile

Anniebach Fri 11-Jan-19 09:00:06

Just received the email with DNA results, don’t want to read it !
