Does our DNA come from our Ancestors (General)

Sure does. I only wish everyone was on a DNA database. It would make family history a doddle. But then again I suppose it would be no fun if it was that easy. A couple of years ago a big exercise was undertaken to compare English DNA's with those of western seaboard of Europe from southern Denmark to Holland. 65% were compatible. This is despite large scale internal migration within UK in particularly 19th Century.

England = Angle Land = southern Denmark/Schleswig Holstein. As the Angles were a minority of the Anglo Saxons it would have been more accurate for England to be called New Saxony or something similar.

As far as FoD is concerned, mixture of Celts and Anglo Saxons. Different DNA.
