The Armstrong News includes more discussion of the Armstrongs ancient roots based on DNA evidence. This article looks at what the Y-DNA evidence suggests about the Armstrongs in the Late Iron Age and Early Medieval periods.
The evidence shows that many Armstrongs carry a specific genetic marker that's found in less than 1% of the British population. A world-leading expert in British DNA believes that this marker indicates the mainstream Armstrong ancestors may have been Picts, or an even older tribe.
Learn more about this SNP genetic marker and the Pictish tribes in Issue 80 of the Armstrong News, which is available to all members of the Armstrong Clan Association.
