Question

Who are the ancestors of today's Britons?

Answer 1

Now that DNA is here, it is being shown that the Hispanics are actually descended from the tribes of Israel. One man, a Roman Catholic priest in New Mexico with the last name Sanchez was tested by his DNA and it was compared to the DNA of a Cohen, a Jew , whose lineage goes back to Aaron brother of Moses and from the tribe of Levi.

Their DNA showed they came from the same tribe; Levi.

My point? The Britons came from the Vikings, the Normans and have no link to the tribes of Israel.

If ever there was a true gentile, it is the Brit.

They are dewscended fronm all Gentiles which is a non Jew.
