Being of northern Spanish decent, we have known that we have the same DNA of the Irish for a long time. So nice that the other side is picking it up.

Many washed up in Ireland from Spain’s “Invincible Armada”.

Mmm...

I was under the impression that the Basque relatives of ancient Irish were Celtic...

That would be the source thereof. Does not point to the ultimate origin of the Irish, though.

This is not new but it is true. Our family (Irish) traces its roots to spanish kings.

Why do do studies like this? It’s european blood, therefore contains no grant inducing diversity genes

Paella is from the other side of Spain. Though these days its popular everywhere.

Think more along the lines of eels and squid in ink.

The Basques are not Celtic. The Basque language is “disconnected”, that is, not organically related to any other known language. The Celtic languages are Indo-European and are related distantly to other European languages.

Actually, the Basque people in northern Spain and southern France are vastly different from the rest of the people in Spain and France. Different culture, different language (Euskera). It was "common knowledge" in Spain when I was growing up that the Basques were the Lost Tribes, LOL. I don't believe that, but it shows that everybody knew they were different!

Language doesn’t determine genetics.

The best book I've read on this subject:

Origins Of The British

I'm an R1b (male) from Ireland with a marker from Denmark....maybe a Viking? My female DNA is 'V', probably Skolt Sami of northern Finland.
