"Powis (Powys) Castle on your map is our ancestral home."

Neat. ( Atlantic Modal Haplotype)

My R1b, DYS390 is 23, which indicates a Nordic ancestry and we (probably) arrived in the Isles as one of the invading forces, Saxons, Danes or Vikings. My BIL is, R1b, DYS390-24...definately Irish.

Powis Castle, Welshpool, Powys, Wales.

They'd probably let me muck out the stables when I visit. If my relatives had been important, they never would have left.

I looked into getting my blood tested a while ago, but can no longer find the link where I read the information... Do you by chance know the link I’m speaking of — it was to participate in some genetic study and I think I ran across the information here at FR?

Anyway, I was born with red hair which I was told fell out and then grew back in blondish as a young child and then has gotten progressively darker as time goes by, all with red highlights underneath though... Also, fair-skinned, freckled, short, and a wee bit stocky (I easily gain muscle-mass when working at it at all). My eldest daughter who looks the most like me has even more red in her hair than I. So, I’m guessing my ancestors were R1b somewhere along the line (I’m adopted, so I don’t know what nationality my ancestors are/were). This stuff is always so fascinating to me.
