I come exclusively from there. From southern Finistère (west) and Côtes-d'Armor (north): Cornouaille and Tregor.
I know my entire family tree until 1600 and it only concerns this locality.
And the History of Brittany is a genetic mix between the west coast of Great Britain, the Armorique (the village of Astérix ^^, the old name of where I live) and the thrust of the Franks on the current eastern half of my region (si ce n'est plus). Without forgetting the conquests of the English during the Middle Ages and the potential Vikings before (but that would surprise me for the latter two, in any case, not significant).
Finally, some say that Bretons are mainly Armoricans. To be Celtic is above all a culture and not a race. And according to Yannick Lecerf: the (racial) Celts would have bypassed Armorica because the peninsulas did not interest them and also because my ancestors were, to say the least... violent.
And in fact, the Breton people are above all the descendants of the peoples of the Megaliths (it's been just under 5,000 years), the first European civilization that has just emerged ... in Armorica ... (ಠ_ಠ)> ■ - ■
( ■ - ■) I know: I'm too classy.
The Breton would not have significantly mixed with the Armorican populations and the Armoricans would have preserved their substrate of descendants of this first European civilization.
But I think it is mostly a mixture of the two and that we are racially Celtic in a significant way because I look a lot like an Englishman.
Another argument is that a Breton friend from my locality has taken the test and is 89.5% Breton, Cornish, Scottish, Welsh and Irish, 5.5% English and 5% French and Germain.
