Anyway I think if you dig back far enough, the amount of migrations and stuff that have gone on over the centuries means most people could probably claim descendancy from most of the major groups going around.
I'm from one of those Dark Green regions (well, the other side of the river), but I'm pretty sure there's a hell of a lot more Roman, Turkish, Russian, Norman etc etc etc blood in me than celtic :p

That's exactly what I was going to say. Looking back 2,000 years to whoever inhabited the land you currently reside in doesn't say anything for ones ancestry! I know my immediate ancestry is Italian and Welsh, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm descended from the Romans or the Silurii! Who knows where my family was before they went to Italy or came to Wales.

Everyone's from Africa originally, anyway!
