Like all us Anglos with ancestors in the British Isles come from a finite root stock
Weeeellll, NO. The English are among the most mixed up folks in the world (and I personally think they mostly got the best traits of each group that intermingled): they got the Celtic, Saxon, Norman, French, etc. roots mixed with a whole bunch of immigrants from other parts of Europe and now from all over the world.
