What a coincidence! I just saw these genealogy books on Amazon and ordered them a couple of days ago: "Britain Begins" by Barry Cunliffe "The Origins of the British: The New Prehistory" by Stephen Oppenheimer "Saxons, Vikings & Celts: The Genetic Roots of Britain and Ireland" by Bryan Sykes. They're now on my Kindle but I probably won't be able to get to them to read until the end of February. I ordered them because thus far I have not found a single immigrant to America in my line that does not come from the British Isles. (Paternal or maternal lines.) Incidentally, an older book that I read, "Albion's Seed", is truly interesting. It's not about genetics but rather about various American sections of the country which can be related to various parts of the British Isles.

Sykes is a pioneer in DNA testing for genealogy among other uses. While Adam's Curse can get a bit tedious it is the best and easiest to understand explanation of Y DNA testing. There are some interesting things about historical events too. His Seven Daughters of Eve is about MtDNA testing and a really good book too. I recommend both. I have just ordered the one on Vikings and Celts. We will see what that tells us about those early English settlers. Our Bedfordshire Bunkers have Viking ancestors while our Devon Bunkers come from a group that settled much earlier in England.
