I noticed in two recent books that both authors (Both professors) have difficulty explaining exactly who are the Celts and their origins. The books are :
Origins Of The British Professor Stephan Oppenheimer...an excellent book.
Saxons, Vikings And Celts Professor Bryan Sykes...a very good read.
2. As this article indicates, the Iberic tribes migrated to Wales.
Old news.
Look up “Milesians”

Human Migrations Beginning About 12,000 Years Ago (At the end of the Ice Age)
Yes I have heard for as long as I can remember that the Scots are related to some people in Spain and even North Africa, (The Berbers).
I met a “Castillian” girl when I was in high school. That is what we called those Hispanics with blond hair and blue eyes, as I remember.
My Scottish ancestors won their independance in the Battle of Bannockburn. But I actually have more English in me. But hey who would't claim the Battle of Bannockburn even if it was just a drop of your blood?
Anyway there is quite a bit of archeological and geneological evidence that large groups of migrations from the twelve tribes of Israel in the Middle east emmigrated north during throughout Europe during the babylonian invasion. Secular scholare are blind to it. (Geee! when this group dissapears in the Middle East a new group that looks just like them archeologically migrates north across Europe and splits into groups that go all over Norway Sweden, Germany, England, Spain etc. There can;t be a connection!)
For example There is evidence that Jeremiah came to Ireland with Princess Tea Tephi who was a daughter of Zedekiah and married Eochaidh in Ireland. Her sister Scota married Gaythelos, son of the King of Greece, in Spain. Some claim they are just legends (usually atheist scholars trying to downplay Isreal's socio-political role in the history of Europe and the world) but the genological record and archeolgical record are pretty plain.
A good book on the matter is "House of Israel" which is out of print but there are probably newer books about the topic that are good resources. Wikipedia has some decent articles but google the names and you'll get some better websites like one that lists Israeli geneology back to Adam.
During WWI all the royalty of the various countries were related and intermarried as well.
Celtic music fans should check out LLAN DE CUBEL. They do Asturian music. http://www.llandecubel.com/english.html
There was the wreck of the Spanish Armada in 1588 which left quite a few Spaniards in Ireland with no way to get home.
See Bill Cooper’s book, After the Flood. He traces their lineage back to Japheth, son of Noah. Very interesting study.
That’s why they were called Celt-Iberians.
Too many years ago, I read a historical fiction novel that was about the migration from Iberia to Ireland. Must have had some basis in fact to be published, as historical fiction.
Wish I could remember the book. Any help out there?
Or look for some old music from the group Celtas Cortas.
The folk music and dance from northern Spain is strikingly celtic, from the toe-dancing, to the bagpipes, and on. When they have a folk-festival they sometimes invite celt bands from the British Isles, who fit right in, its hard to know who is who.
You half-expect the Spaniards to start speaking gaelic at any moment.
Check out the R1b's in the Canary Islands.
I think Celtic invaders of Britain came both from northern Iberia and continental Europe.
Caesar noted that many tribes in Britain had names similar or identical to names of tribes in Gaul.
Around 8,000 years ago (Map 3), the Neolithic peoples of the Middle East that had developed the new technology of agriculture began moving into Europe. There were several haplogroups involved, mainly E3b, F, J2 and G2.
These Neolithic haplogroups came in several waves over time and are found predominantly along the Mediterranean coast. Around 20% of the present-day population are from these Neolithic haplogroups. What is interesting to note is that the agricultural technology spread much further than the people who first 'invented' it.
A little later, around 4,500 years ago, Haplogroup N3 began moving across from west of the Ural mountains. Haplogroup N3 follows closely the spread of the Finno-Ugric languages.
