Okay, there are nations and ethnic groups speaking celtic language. But isn't it as absurd to state scots or irishmen are celtic as stating germans are germanic?

Erin and scotia have been settled by norse groups in large numbers during the early middle ages. expecially scotland has been a melting pot of picts, norse, anglosaxon and irish settlers. Ireland has seen many settlers as well, norse invaders for example, not to forget cromwells protestants.

I like the thought that in the beginning of the 21 century I am related to ethnic groups throughout the whole continent and further. for sure there are distant ancestors of norse, saxon and slavic origin, later on there might be french huguenots coming to pruzzia. For sure some distant cousins of my grandfather went to america, god knows where, maybe iowa or so. And my grandfather himself, beeing a sailor, did he produce unknown uncles of mine in the levante or the maghreb?

Might be out of the place in a thread about asturia. but since there are skinheads and fascists raiding jews again here in germany, I am a little bit stingy about ethnic themes these days.
