I read once that Wales had the highest incidence of O type blood than anywhere else in the world.

I must have read it in this book:

I thought I ought to look it up.....look what I found:

I’ve traced my direct genealogy through numerous royal bloodlines, roman emperors and byzantine rulers.

[Verginius Rufus]

Indigenous peoples of the New World have very high percentages of O blood.

Among Europeans, the Irish seem to have the highest rate of O+. The luck of the Irish?

Iceland is just behind Ireland--if you count together both O+ and O- they are tied. Icelanders have a lot of Celtic DNA (from ancestors enslaved by the Norse).

I have read that too.
