"This type of genetic make-up is usually found in the eastern Mediterranean which made us think that there might have been strong connections between north-east Wales and this part of Europe somewhere in the past. "But this appears not to be the case

Sounds like they might want to rethink that.

John McWhorter makes a good case that the Phoenecians exercised a strong influence on the proto-Germanic language. So if they left grammar and/or vocabulary, why not DNA? See:
