I would like to share with you what your eyes might not believe. Simon Narramore, aka 62Lofu on Flickr, has taken a series of photographs of people in an area of Western China that almost look like whole families from Dublin or London or Glasgow. While they are certainly not Irish, they certainly LOOK Irish to me, and not surprisingly, they are located close to both the ancient spice route and the Gobi Desert areas.
Maybe I should not be as surprised as I am.
As I have repeated many times, via ancient Celtic, Greek, and Judaic influences and ancestries that all our families have, some of our families went East, some went West, and these photographs are certainly proof.
I further believe that the origin of Japan shared in the DNA tribal origins of central Asia, and certainly I feel kinship to Asian origins myself as I have mentioned on this website.
Simon Narramore has given us an anthropological, historical, and visual gem, but unfortunately, I can't show you them directly!

We are all one family, and what a treasure!
