> Actually it is a crappy way to trace ancestry.  It just tells you about the accidental unbroken female linage but nothing at all about the DNA linage.  My mitochondrial DNA would say I am pure English.

Hi Richard, you've made this point a number of times on different but related threads.  What do you propose would be a reliable genetic marker that points to ancestral heritage. Also, do you consider morphometrics a more reliable indicator?
