Hello,
I was also wondering if some of these lineages may go back to the Sythian
source mentioned in the Celtic Histories where it was said that they moved
via Sythia to Greece to Egypt and then to Northern Spain and finally
Scotland and Ireland. In time this will an interesting topic when peoples
of that area; Macedonia east to Kazakhstan are tested in large numbers! I
know that many historians believe these stories to be highly idealized
however the proof will be in the pudding!
Sincerely
Kevin

Thank you very much,
Your personal note regarding output of your Haplogroup Predictor is well
taken. Perhaps I jumped the gun a bit in interpreting the report to this
Carroll family group. Still, this man's genetic heritage results are
fascinating, and are so very different from the other 16 or so Carroll
testees.
As are mine at R1a.
I thought from reading some of Ellen's historical postings, that E3a might
be of more recent African descent, while E3b was more of an ancient
heritige
such as you suggest.
Again, thank you for the interuptation.
Eric Olson
