They are all very similar genetically either way. I mean all my ancestry is very deeply Irish for generations. I can't go back past the late 1700s though but these are my closest populations on the G25. On all my tests I come out uber Northwestern European without much other ancestry. I always have a pull towards Iceland but that might be something very old. My no 1 match ironically is with an Anglo-Saxon.

Irish are more distant to Hallstatt then English are though. I'm not sure Celtic is a genetic thing with the Insular Celts. It remains to be seen whether they have any Continental Celtic blood which would be quite controversial. I've looked at genetics for so long now I'm a bit blase about the Celtic vs Germanic thing which is what I was getting at in my post to you. I wasn't trying to get you upset as I've being looking at this question for quite a few years.

This perfectly illustrates what I've noticed as far as genetics are concerned which is the point I was making. Trying to work out Celt and Germanic from genetics is problematic. What is factual is that people from Northwestern Europe including the Insular Celts descend from pretty close populations during the Bronze Age. What happened after the Bronze Age is that these people evolved different language groups but they were all quite closely connected. Germans today have a legacy from Germanic speaking groups but also Celtic groups like Hallstatt. I've come to just look on myself as Northwestern European because that is what genetics says I am.

Tourists of all nationalities can be jackasses, American, Asian, European. I don't think their nationality or ethnicity has much to do with their lack of proper upbringing or manners. They should be ashamed though.

Interesting comment GO'M. It does seem like you are agreeing with me, that they descend from lower SES backgrounds, or at least lower than average. Many travellers leave the community and it seams reasonable that those who are more academically inclined or economically successful would be more likely to get stable jobs instead of live the lives of crime that many travelers do. There are not any adoption studies for Irish travelers that I can find, but my assumption would be that they do avg lower environment controlled IQ than non travelers. They don't go to school and life bad lifestyles, but culture is on the leash of the gene as it were, you would expect such a community to adopt a culture befitting of their genes. But I doubt anyone is ever going to study this so one can meerly speculate. Doubtless there are plenty of individual travelers who are very intelligent and academically capable, and most of the smart ones may never achieve much due to the culture they are surrounded by, which is of course regrettable.
Most people of Celtic descent obviously just assimilate, but Irish travelers remain in their own breeding populations with their own customs and usually even have Irish traveler accents. Which is why people don't really consider them English or White British. They are a British ethnic group in a sense but they are not part of mainstream society. People don't consider them Irish either though, they are 'Irish Traveler' which is a very much separate identity to 'Irish'. In UK census forms this is reflected as you usually select from Options like White British, White Irish, Irish Traveler, White other etc.
