2. I have an Irish relative
about four or five generations back. I definitely do not look Celtic!

11. Well, the Celts started out German
First appearing at the headwaters of the Danube, Rhine and Rhone rivers(Switzerland and south-west Germany), probably by 1200 BCE.

8. I Think I Do Until I Go to The Netherlands, Norway or Germany
In Boston, I look Irish, but in Northern Europe, people ask me directions in their native language. It's the strawberry blond, fair-skin look I have. My sisters truly look celtic: dark brown hair and white skin. The majority of Irish/Scottish look like this, not like me.

9. I posted this thread and I'm not entirely sure what a Celt looks like.
I'm assuming Scottish/Irish-looking.

I look more British than anything. I'm a UK-mutt. A little of this, a little of that...
