Bumping and grinding this up!
As far as i know British are just Germans really. Maybe some Scandinavian input but that's about it. Irish are Descended from Spanish or Basques. Although a lot of Irish also have Scandinavian mixture.
The First British Empire saw an enormous population explosion and the economic imperatives of a nation to expand its living space to another continent. http://british-empire1.blogspot.com/...-15831783.html As these settlers from the countries of Great Britain made their homes in a new land, they certainly did not forget their old one. In fact, the links between the Mother Country and the Colonies were strong and quite active until the American Revolution, part of the basis of which was the Colonists' self perception of themselves as British subjects and therefore entitled to all the rights due such subjects.http://americanhistory.si.edu/magnacarta
There is a huge wealth of indigenous-Briton DNA found in the British Isles.Quote:

See Graham's response. To say the British are just Germans really isn't correct.Quote:

Most native English people are more related to Basque people in northern Iberia than Nordic-looking Germanics. Funny you English with your Germanic delusions.
