Sure, and Seamus himself took a detour there in mid-Asia for a wee drink.

Compare to each other and to traditional genealogy. The DNA ethnicity software seems to have problems sorting out the peoples of the British Isles if they even try. And problems disentangling the Vikings and northern Germans from the British Isles.

A lot of history to sort out. A lot of invasions, and in the olden days the North Sea was Doggerland.

The Celts invaded Anatolia — they were known as the Galatians, as in Paul’s Letter to — and I’d take a wild stab at this anomaly by saying, that’s the connection, rather than, Celts colonized Ireland from Turkey.

King George III suffered from this condition. There was a movie made about it: The Madness of King George, I think was the title. I knew a woman with partial Native American ancestry who was suffering from it. Took her many years and much misdiagnosis from doctors and mental health professionals before she finally found out the cause.

Didn’t know it could be serious, guess I should tell my MD about it. One of my aunts told me it ran in the family in case I needed to know but not why I might need to know. I thought I might throw off a compass or something.

Here is a link describing the condition that my friend finally was diagnosed. It relates to the heme portion of the blood.

Perhaps, but I did the genealogy DNA thing through National Geographic and my Irish ancestry traced the Mediterranean from somewhere Lebanon-ish around the sea, around the Iberian peninsula and across to Ireland, taking about 10,000 years. Goes along with the wave of neolithic farmers coming from the Middle East. Brian Sykes early book “The Seven Daughters of Eve” explains it in a more fictional, but still interesting way. The Irish sequence is J, and he refers to the carrier as Jasmine.
