Culture, invasions, druids, LaTene, Bronze and Iron Age sea commerce, archaeology, anthropology and deep DNA data analytics with genetic migrations ¡ª altogether inform this subject.
While my son Evan¡¯s and my FT kits exactly match, confirming our O¡¯Sullivan lineage (FT43021), our DNA migration path is a puzzle. ? Haplogroup origins suggest an ancient journey from the Russian Federation ?(M269) through French Gaul (Brittany-P312) Devon/Cornwall (L21), leading to Ireland (CTS4466>L270).
Kit data is scarce from France and Russian Federation, yet I¡¯m able to confirm a distant Cyr cousin whose path to Louisiana began in France then led to the Acadian culture in Nova Scotia and Maine, before again being relocated by the British to Louisiana.
Points on on the subject are Celtic cultures, languages and monuments. ? ?Standing stones and ogham stones are found largely in coastal Celtic regions of western Europe. ? Brittany is Celtic and holds huge fields of stone monuments. ? ?Bronze Age trade routes include Brittany, Britain, Wales, Ireland and Scotland. ??
Insular Celtic cultures counted on druids for communications and spiritual traditions. ? It¡¯s not surprising that Ogham stones¡¯ primitive Irish draws from Latin coming from Roman language.
I¡¯ve read that some Bronze Age stones in Ireland were used hundreds of years later as Oghams, memorializing clan ancestors and marking central clan homeland.?
