I have not studied back that far. I explored my ancestor’s history and that’s as far back as I could get. We are Scots on my paternal grandfather’s side and Irish on my paternal grandmother’s side. We know nothing about my mom’s side. Most people where I live in the Appalachians trace back to Scotland and Ireland.
My baby brother could get a part in a Viking movie.
I’m going to study the history prior to the Picts and Celts. I love history!
“I’m going to study the history prior to the Picts and Celts.”
Well, the problem with that is it’s into prehistory and not history. The people who were there first didn’t leave any written records. All we have are stone age monuments similar to Stonehenge and some archaeological remains to go off, maybe a cave painting here or there.
We have a lot from DNA analysis now too, but the guys classifying groups that ancient by their DNA give them a different name than the archaeologists who are digging up their graves assign to them. So if you want to get a fuller picture you have to figure out that the group the DNA guys called “X” is probably the same group the archaeologists call “Y”. They’re just labelled with different names depending on who is talking about them.
