The setting goes from 300 to 1500 years before present, which is very interesting.

My oldest known ancestor is from Aldborough circa 1500 despite my mom being overwhelminly Irish (One English great, great grandmother). Is that Harrogate?

Harrogate is in Yorkshire, Aldborough is in Norfolk (NR on the map). Not particularly close.

edit: apparently there is an Aldborough in Harrogate

Thanks, seems to make sense because his granddaughter was born near Cambridgeshire, England in 1555, which appears to be west of Norfolk. I saw that Aldborough was in Yorkshire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldborough,_North_Yorkshire but I was probably confusing two different things.

Actually I wasn't aware of it, but yes that's more likely as people didn't move around much in those days.

Yes, I would assume people in England had limited movement until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, post 1750.

Some counties probably have small sample sizes that's why some have weird results (including one in Central Wales).
