Interesting thread. One part of our family that migrated to Oz from Scotland has a distinctly Spanish surname! And they very carefully covered their tracks for whatever reasons. The mind boggles. So many tantalising questions. |

What the loose bands of Celts shared was a common language & although this has mutated a bit as in P & Q Gaelic a shared language is still characteristic of the Celtic nations. Irish & Scots gaelic are very similar; Welsh is understandable to some extent by both, Breton comes from the 4th/5th C migrations, & these similarities would have been closer the further back in history you go. This is remarkable given how hard conquering nations have worked to eradicate the Celtic languages at different times. My great~grandmother was the last Gaelic speaker in our family but that some of the languages continue to exist is evidence (I think) of the continued existence of the Celts. |

Hello from Oz. Most of the family is still in Scotland; a few have defected to the Sassenach(sp?). Others have joined the Kiwis. Clan affiliation ~ Gordon. (Hubby is a Stuart.)
Areas of interest ~ pre~Christian archaeology/history, music (bardic tradition in particular) & language. Looking forward to getting to know everyone |
