Nice to talk to a fellow Celt, you might also be interested to know that the majority of us have Type O blood, not exclusively but it is one of the Celtic markers. My whole family on both sides has type O Neg...Scots / Irish. You would be characterized as "Alpine" by the Tarrim Archeologists. Apparently living in the mountains promotes stockiness? I consider their approach little better than trash talk.

LOL

I checked on this 'indicator', here's what is said on page 245 of the book, Tarim Mummies.

"...although our data is extremely restricted, so far it suggests that prehistoric Xinjiang was a good area for transfusions: all the mummies so far examined have been revealed as universal donors ,i.e. type O. Blood typing has been carried out on the 'Beauty Of Kroran' from the cemetery on the Towan River and three of the female mummies from Qizilchoqa also possessed blood type O."

Dad's O but I'm A+.

[but I love the band 'Type O Negative'...does that count?]....;D


'Alpine Salamander'.....has a nice ring to it.

All the Welsh ones in my family are short, wiry and slender.

[which was convenient because they were all coal miners]....LOL!
