"Celts" and "Picts" from Iberia

[Jack Daw]

I had my Y-DNA tested to 67 markers a couple of years ago. The test indicated that I had a Celt-Iberian origin; from NE Spain where the Basques live today. Of course, the Celts migrated from much further east and deposited populations all along the way over several centuries.

"Celtic" describes culture. DNA is biological. They are 2 different things. While the Celtic culture may have come from eastern and central Europe, the ancestors of those who are now described as Celtic undoubtedly first came from the Iberian peninsula and Aquitaine.

Think about it. In another thread it was discussed how slaves of African ancestry in America came to speak Gaelic. Would they be genetically Celtic?
