I must be Celtic then........................

Me too.

.

I half and half :wah:

my left index finger is straight, and my right index finger curves outward.

Its not working - naturally I's have a problem..

Let me try this again - nails are too long

OK - they point out

What does that make me?

Put your index fingers together...if the tips point outwards, you're mainly Celtic, if they're straight together you're of Saxon origin.

I dunno how true this is, but if there is any evidence to it, then my makeup is mostly Celtic! That would explain the dark hair and green eyes I guess when my maiden name is Norse...weird!!!

So go on...do it!


Me too Pinky....I'm Celtic....:-4

There's a guy around the time of Alexander the Great, 2300 years ago, who appears as the most recent-living human to be in the ancestry of every human now alive. Nobody knows who he was but that's what modelling and simulation says. The previous holder of the record was a long way further back than that until Europeans spread widely across the planet over the last 500 years, when we spread Euro-seed so prolifically that the time-frame shortened dramatically.

So, if you assume he was a Celt then there's the same Celt up every Chinese and Maori and Hottentot family tree as well as up yours. Of course, this chap might as easily have been Babylonian. My point really is that once you look even twenty generations back, some time in the War of the Roses, you had a million different ancestors all eagerly contributing their mite toward your eventual mixed heritage - and I bet most of those had a dab of Attila the Hun in them, having seen the result.

Merde!!! My index fingers took exception to any attempt to classify them and went on strike - which means they are predominantly French. Back to work, Fingers, please. I got triggers to pull.

That I have never heard, where does that come from?



Mine do point out fairly strongly, but then I would imagine I would have a mix like most Irish people, I thought the strongest genetic trait here was the pre-celtic one actually. Also I have brown hair and brown eyes, though I have some red hair in my beard. Is there a link on the web, I wonder who came up with it.

Apparently if your 1st and third finger are almost the same size it indicates viking ancestry.

I'm saxon mine point stright up

That was a movie with Danny DeVito and Michael Douglas.

Whats this got to do with Celts ?

Or Hollywood for that matter ?

My fingertips are telling me that I am mainly Celtic - which I knew

My first and third fingers are telling me I have Viking ancestry - which I knew

I'm Celtic it was intresting auctaly i never knew that

My Japanese neighbor must be Celtic.

I read somewhere that if your head and life lines begin intertwined and extend down the palm for a ways as one line before splitting that you were hyperactive as a child.

You're scots. How come you never knew that? Celt and viking or a mixture of both with some possibly saxon of you're from lowland scots.
