Wow, thank you. I’ve printed that out for my friend.

I told her last night of the occupations. She wasn’t surprised, she’d often suspected she had gypsy ancestry. Someone told her years ago that the Florence name came from Florence in Italy but her sister has done a dna test and that doesn’t show any Italian blood.

English 52.6%
Irish, Scottish and Welsh 38.8%
Iberian 5.1%
Baltic 3.5%

Her mother was Irish and I think her 3x great grandmother was too.
