It is hardly surprising that this is the case. But it may not change the contention that the Anglo-Saxons chased Celts off of mainland England and up and over to Wales, Scotland and Ireland. They've had almost 1,500 of co-existence since then, and as far as I can tell, inter-marry quite frequently. Regardless of the DNA, couldn't that account for these findings and not a rewrite of a well established history?

Taken in another light. The United States govt. chased Indians the hell out of every habitable plot of land in the Union. This is a fact. 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? Would that then mean that we really didn't round most Indians up, via coercian, treaty and force into lifeless "reservations"? No.

The report also talks about Southern England. Does that mean predominantly SW England, or does that include SE England as well? The SW corner of England, Cornwall and Devon, were known Celtic enclaves. The English had to work had to stamp out their Celtic tongue hundreds of years ago.

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

I wouldn't have any DNA from ANY Indians tribe, and your statement about this is silly !

Interesting argument, but highly doubtful. The time period is too short in the Americas, and if you study genealogy as I do, you will realize that ancestry back to the 1500s is very well documented. Of the old American families, there are people searching for Indians in their family tress, but overall its just a few. Not nearly as many as your argument would suggest.
