A perfect work for anyone interested in the genealogy of England, Scotland, or Ireland, Saxons, Vikings, and Celts features a chapter specifically addressing the genetic makeup of those people in the United States who have descended from the British Isles.]]> 2006 5 0 false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 10 08:43:26 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 10 08:47:35 -0700 2008 more...]]> 29618986 107920 6987 0393062686 9780393062687 27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165605368m/6987.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165605368s/6987.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6987.Saxons_Vikings_and_Celts_The_Genetic_Roots_of_Britain_and_Ireland 3.71 116 WASPs finally get their due in this stimulating history by one of the world's leading geneticists.
