I reported tha Pierre is a near perfect match to the Weir family of Scotland..............all Weirs in Scotland claim links to the De Veres of Brittany
My investigation shows that in all probability the Weirs of Forfarshire Scotland were Flemmings and Belgians.........primarily these people were the usual linen weavers, carpenters and glass blowers
What is of key interest too is that this is the home of the Flemmish Haye family: another DNA link for Pierre
This is where we find the De Syras lineage as well nearby.......
Perhaps like most other places where the name Sire or versions of it show up after 1086AD: it is Flemish Belgic in origin
Now this does not reduce the ancient Irish connections in any sense: we know these ancient peoples were a high proportion of Belgics
It is entirely possible there were two Belgian brothers anciently
one stays
one is part of the Irish migration
In any event: this takes the De Veres of Brittany off the table
I also posted the Botilliers are off the table too....
It leaves:
Ireland:.........O Sheas, Bryan
Scotland: ......Flemish Weir family
Brittany:.........Pontbriands
Normandy:.........de Criel, Suhard, Haye,
Wales:............James family
(we should also note that the Normans planted a lot of Flemings in Wales as well)
What these all have in common is an ancient and modern Belgic root........
What they all have in common is Viking settlements
We expect to find the densest DNA samples in regions that bottleneck:
meaning the population loses diversity
because it gets boxed in
few newcomers
few outgoers
This is what occured in Ireland ........and in remote places........
So even if we find large amounts of Pierre type in one region: it could be just ancestral echo
If he is French he is likely Breton, Norman
We can see by the patterns that are most frequent this whole All Around the English Channel pattern in any event
His roots are somewhere in this region
