Anybody ever done anything on Frisian DNA and its presence in cross-Channel venues

No idea, but it would be interesting since Frisian is supposedly the language closest to the "English" of the original Anglo-Saxons.

Could also be West Flemish as those areas of the Belgian and Dutch coast, where it was spoken, are the closest to England. Proto-English
