Angle, I think. Certainly since 500AD.
No infusion of Normans, as fiercely defended by Hereward the Wake. Mentioned in Doomsday book as having its distinct dialect.

@peterlee wait...no? Angles are Germanic. Celts are a different IE branch.

@basilfawlty89 As I said, I can only go back to 500AD. I cannot trace before that.
The Fens were a very stable community. No one really ventured there.

For what it's worth to all of you who sent a personal DNA sample to "23 and Me" to find out the origin of your ancestral roots, it was reported in my local news recently where the Royal Canadian Mounted Police just solved a 47 year old 'cold case' murder from 1978 involving a teenaged girl in British Columbia.
From DNA samples taken from the crime scene that were preserved in a sealed file from 1978, the police were able to suddenly find a match to those DNA samples they'd collected 47 years ago when someone in the USA submitted their own DNA to "23 and Me" to find out about their own ancestral roots. Ooops!
The moment their volunteered DNA sample went into the Registry, bingo... the preserved cold case DNA made an instant match in Law Enforcement computers and the cops were notified instantly. The perpetrator was arrested in Oregon within 24 hours and extradited to Canada to appear in Court for the murder of that teenaged girl 47 years earlier.
This is to let everyone know that "23 and Me" and other such ancestral sites, were not set up to solve the mystery of everyone's ancestry, though that might appear to be their intent, or at least the prize they give you for your interest.
When you voluntarily submit your DNA like this, you are giving the police carte blanche authority to use that data without your consent because you've made your DNA public property when you submit it to any of those ancestral sites... and your DNA stays on file permanently, FYI.

Oh, I agree! If you've done nothing in your past where leaving traces of your DNA behind is not an issue, then by all means, use "23 and Me" to trace your ancestry.
The only thing is, your DNA will remain on file permanently, so you'd have to make sure you stayed squeaky-clean for the rest of your life!

@bijouxbroussard in Australia, it's a really racist slur for people from the Mediterranean, Middle East and South Asia.
It's used by people of those ancestries like the N word by African Americans sometimes, but not something you should say.
