You know what they say about Celts with little toes.........
small shoes
our physical charateristics come from all our ancestors, some charateristics being more dominant than others.
Y DNA testing will tell you if you male ancestors are Celtic, Norman, Saxxon, etc etc. That is one small part of your total genome. We all have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 ggrandparents,16 gggrandparents. The math gets huge quickly and all these folks affect (or is it effect, none of my ancestors were good at grammar) who we are. So or health, appearance, personality, etc is hard to pin on any side of the family
my parents were of scottish & irish descent. Go to my grandparents and you get to add some german and english.
If your GGgrandfather on the paternal chain is Celtic and the other 15GGrandparents are a mixture of Saxxon, Anglo, Norman, Chinese etc.... should we still say we are celtic. We are only 1/16th celtic. We should celebrate the total mixture of who we are. (a lot more holidays)
