Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

http://www.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/dna-blueprint-of-the-irish-revealed-2333700.html Can't find the Irish Times article on the subject. What are your thoughts on us being more closely related to the Basques?

They can't actually say that you, or anyone else in your family, come from anywhere specific. What they can say is that the markers in your dna are most common in a specific population today, so that is most likely where you and your family originate, and even that can only go back so far in time. In this case they were spot on by the sounds of it, however the accuracy will differ from person to person.

oh i see i understand this well now.
