Glad you liked my home county.

Yes, we are a bit of a Heinz 57....part Celtic; part Anglo-Saxon; part Viking.

Never truly appreciated the beauty of Northumberland till I moved away...same with lots of folks I suppose.

FRegards,

My family, the Sheffields, had always thought were were the ultimate Anglo - Saxons until we did DNA tests on many of our male family members. The results showed that we were actually descended from Vikings that had settled in England.
But I’m mostly Scots-Irish (due to intermarraige) or as you would say Ulster-Irish.
