But who would want to bet that if a similar test were performed in the United States, that most individuals would show a Sioux, Iriqouis, or any other Indian Nation, trace in their DNA?

Most likely Cherokee. I am sure that most people in East Tennessee have some Cherokee blood in them. Elvis Presly himself was part Cherokee.

It is obvious if you just take the population of Roman Britain, and the maximum number (over 90% men) of Germanic invaders who could have ever come in the available boats, and you will see that the population of England right up until the present Muslim invasion, was still mostly Celtic...say 80% on the Y chromosome and nearly 99 on the mitochondria.

A teacher in Cheddar was found to be a direct descendant (female line only) of the mother of a 9000-years-old boy whose skeleton was found just a few miles away...

Still, there are many locales and cities, as you say especially in the northeast, and east London, etc. where Anglo-Saxon and/or Viking genes have equal or greater prevalence...East Anglia, Boston, Grantham...

I was reading a short while ago that as the Federal government forced the Cherokees out of the Eastern Mountains quite a number of white families suddenly aquired red skinned relatives-obviously, not all the ebil' white pilagers were quite so ebil'. And many a white man, including some in my ancestry, had nothing against inter racial marriage and found themselves Indian brides amoung the native peoples, the traits of which still show in some of my relatives in Winston County, MS. I read that this practise was common amoung the Celtic folks of the Southern frontier, though despised by Northerners, in their enlightened state.

In Maryland, it would be Algonquin, Conoy Nation, Piscataway tribe. Only in the last 40 years was it proven that the Piscataways never left Maryland, but stayed and culturally assimilated, while retaining considerable ethnic continuity.
