If you can trace your DNA back to one of the original tribes below then you can say you are of indigenous descent...
01: Caledones
02: Taexali
03: Carvetii
04: Venicones
05: Epidii
06: Damnonii
07: Novantae
08: Selgovae
09: Votadini
10: Brigantes
11: Parisi
12: Cornovii
13: Deceangli
14: Ordovices
15: Corieltauvi
16: Iceni
17: Demetae
18: Catuvellauni
19: Silures
20: Dubunni
21: Dumnonii
22: Durotriges
23: Belgae
24: Atrebates
25: Regni
26: Cantiaci
27: Trinovantes
These are the tribes that existed prior to the Roman invasion in 55 BCE which you could say was the first colonisation of Britain.

According to Wikipedia you should be a Norwich fan? |
That's one quarter of my family tree.
I have another that is almost entirely Suffolk, one quarter that seems to have been mostly Gwynedd based and one more that was Hampshire + Belgian strangely. Can't trace the Belgian bit as I've only got a last name to go off and I'd have to trace it via Brazil, which makes things a little tricky. |  |

So who rocked up to these islands first then? Don’t Celts (mainly Welsh - long arms, short legs, dark hair, can’t sing a note, invented nothing but the coracle) originate from the Iberian peninsular and North Africa?
As suggested in the other thread, my surname and the mush who owned it rocked up at the time of the Conqueror (let’s hear it for William the B’stard! Top man!), but most of the rest (bar a smidgeon of Welsh) are almost certainly Anglo Saxons (Angles, Saxons, Jutes) that tootled in around the 5th/ 6th century curtesy of Ye Olde Longboat tours. Bit of pillage, plunder, bury a boat at Sutton Hoo and have a curry and a drink in Woodbridge before heading off to Bury St Edmunds and a bit of honest starvation in Norfolk.
Sorted.
In other words technically like most people here, I’m as foreign as a frankfurter! I can get back to the 18c on both sides with certainty and the 16th century on one side with a few maybes. My mother’s side (Norfolk) is the most interesting. The bottom of the heap. Dregs and scum aplenty. Thieves, lunatics, Workhouses, poverty, illiteracy, drownings, suicides. All interesting stuff. My dad’s side is much less colourful, sadly.
Must do that DNA test.
Edit: interesting short description of county name origins attached:

Not me.
Surname arrived here from Normandy circa 1066, step-mother paid for a genealogy thingy back in the 80s.
Mother's side is 50% Irish, from Cork City, County Cork though the surname has a strong hint of Spanish, so thinking Armada survivor who stayed on for the craic.
Strangely enough could be more complex than that as the entry that corresponds date / location wise has a completely different surname. Will wait till he's passed on to look into that further. |  |

I have a condition called Dupuytren's disease. It is a hand disorder that gradually causes the fingers on a hand to become permanently locked in a bent position.
It runs in families, and my father had it. It is known as the Viking disease because it is fairly common in Northern Europe, and my dad's mother hailed from the Shetlands.
A recent study found that the key genetic risk factors for Dupuytren's disease are derived from Neanderthals.

Neanderthals died out 40,000 years ago and could be said to be the first "furriners" being a different species to Homo Sapiens.
I think I therefore fall at the first hurdle. [Post edited 29 Jul 21:15]

My dad was Canadian Romani and my mum was left at an orphanage and is dark skinned, so who the hell knows, but I doubt I'm very Iceni.
Didn't come over on a boat though | | | |

It shows what a generally pleasant place TWTD is that you can begin a Reply with:
"My Mum had..."
And not expect anything bad to follow! | | | |

Having shared genetics with the likes of Cheddar Man or the inhabitants of Star Carr is obviously a good starting point. Problem is the descendants of both of these arrived in the UK on small boats a few hundred years previous to this and were part of the larger Western European Hunter Gatherer Group prior to their arrival on this island.
When you think about it deeper, the next wave of people are the neolithic farmers who arrive roughly 6000 years ago. But they would also share their genetics with the Western European Hunter Gatherer Group who they are directly descended from.
That's before you get anywhere near the controversial subject of the identification of ancient DNA.. |
I've got some blue veins visible in my wrists, does that make me Stilton man ? |  |

I have it too. I've had surgery twice to fix my fingers. BTW, the viking disease label is a bit of a misnomer. Although prevalent in Northern European populations, it can also be found in other parts of the world. It's commonly found in Japan for example and some areas of Africa where it certainly can't be linked to Vikings! [Post edited 29 Jul 22:25]
