I happened across this book when I stopped in to visit my fav used book store. It‘s a perfect fit with my recent genealogy research. I‘m stupid happy. Plus, maps!! 🍀⚔️🛡🔱
Leftcoastzen Wow ,love the maps , sounds fascinating! 7y
LeahBergen Cool! A recent DNA test shows I mostly match a bunch of genetic populations in northern Scotland. 7y
Miss_Shush Yeah! Maps rule! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LeahBergen Nice! Was that a surprise to you? Or did you already have ancestors mapped out from there? 7y
LeahBergen Well, I knew my family was definitely from Scotland and England but I was surprised at the concentration in the north. I was also expecting some other countries to be in the mix but nope... nothing. 😂 My husband‘s results were much more varied and interesting. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @LeahBergen Same for me. My husband‘s results are much more interesting. Although I‘m apparently almost half Norwegian which isn‘t what I expected. My great great great grandmother was from Norway but the math doesn‘t match my DNA. Hence the book. A lot of my family is Northumbria - on both sides - maybe you and I are related! 7y
Melissa_J @LeahBergen maybe we are related. I‘ve got lots of ancestors from Northern Scotland and the Hebrides! 7y
LeahBergen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Melissa_J Maybe we should have a Litsy DNA bank. There are probably genetic reasons why we are all the way we are. 😆 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @LeahBergen @Melissa_J I wonder what the marker is for voracious reading? I‘ll bet we DO all share it! 7y

The Seven Daughters of EveTheEldritchProfessor Must read! Also, jumping on the English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish DNA train as well. 7y
