I was curious to discover an article dated October 12th 2003 called "Genetics make Welsh distinct", (link below) which claims the Cornish are not related to the Welsh and further claims the Cornish are in fact Anglo Saxon. Any ideas on this one? We have used Oxford Ancestry for DNA analysis which put my family firmly in the Celtic catergory, so I am interested in these claims and wonder if anyone on this board has done any research into this independently?
there have been many DNA studies, which each conflict and contradict one another.
You can never be sure unless you test everyone in the region youre researching.
Even then it won't be relevant. Immigration is no new phenomenon, throughout the ages people have come and left and bred with each other and there is such a mix in DNA, especialy in Britain, that we can never base nationality on DNA.
It's invalid and inaccurate.

FLB... I don't actually FEEL very "Celtic" at all....depends on how anyone personally defines it I suppose, as it seems to mean different things to different people.
I like it when Cornwall or Cornish people do well at anything, and am annoyed when anyone insults or attacks Cornwall.
I'm uneasy with the label 'Celtic' when applied to things...scientists, historians and archaeologists deem to disagree on what "Celtic" means.
I wonder if it actually has much relevance to Cornwall today.
