PJ - The map is correct and so are you. Different maps show different things - and time periods.

Bob, I wasn't trying to say the maps were incorrect. I was wondering what was meant by Celts as our most ancient ancestors? In what way were they our most ancient ancestors? And would that be ancestors of ethnic Bohemians only or also of Ethnic Germans born in Bohemia? I did a maternal line DNA test which gave me the result of Haplogroup T2 and ancestors coming from the middle east to central Europe. I'm still not clear on what my DNA results mean.

The Celts were not a germanic people. They are the ancestors of the Gaelic speaking peoples in Ireland and Scotland, or at least some of them (there were also Picts and other groups). The German speaking peoples originally were settled near the Baltic Sea and migrated southward into the areas of Bavaria and what is now Austria (as well as northward into Scandinavia) sometime in the first centuries of the common era, if memory serves me correctly. Most of the German speaking peoples who lived in Bohemia were either invited in by the Slavic kings of the 10th to about the 12th centuries (like good King Wenceslas) or were brought in by the Hapsburgs following the 30-years War, when much of the Sudetenland was decimated and had few people living there. By that time, the Celts had migrated westward into France, Spain, and the British Isles.
