is france more germanic then england?

On this topic:
According to some part of history,a lot of Anglo-Saxons left from England after Norman conquest of England:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_conquest_of_England#English_emigration
There is written that once even 235 ships with Anglo-Saxons left from England and went to Byzantine Empire.
Maybe a lot of paternal lineages from England came with Normans.
Which were indeed a mix of Germanic and (?North) French people.

To put it briefly, the Germans are closer to English than French.
But the English and French are closer between them than with the German
 
Here's one from Eurogenes as well, the population averages from the EUtest. In the Jtest (the sister of the EUtest) the populations in NW Europe form 3 main groups in a dendrogram, pretty much corresponding to West Germanic North Germanic and Celtic, i organised them into those groups here to compare. Here England looks to be made up of a part that was previously somewhere between the French/Celtic groups (makes sense for Roman Britain) plus another part made up of something between the West and North Germanic groups overall (makes sense for Anglo-Saxons/Frisians/Danes). Although it falls closest to the Dutch and West & Central Germans. Also notice that the Celtic groups are dominated by Atlantic & North Central Euro, the Romance/Celto-Romance by Atlantic or Western Mediterranean, while the Poles are dominated by South Baltic/East Euro and Germanic groups North Central Euro and Atlantic:

According to a fairly recent place-name study, it seems possible that while many came from traditional areas, a lot of them (i guess more of the families and lower class people) might have come from the point where the north sea meets the English channel, in Belgium/France/southern Netherlands. Either that or the same people that settled there also settled in many parts of England and used similar place-names.

So it's most likely that the incomers spanned the entire length of the North Sea coastline from Belgium/France to Jutland, and some from the interior (historical sources say that many came from all over 'Germany') and Scandinavia. There was also an idea that some Wends arrived too, although if they did they must have been very small in number.

I also think that there was probably quite a bit of continental influence in the Romano-Britons of Lowland Britain, or at least they were noticeably more southern genetically than many of the people from the west and northern areas that did not have a great deal of Roman influence.
 
Probably, yes.

The Anglo-Saxon (Old English) and Old Frisian languages were very similar.
 
I mean looking at the population averages i posted there, even the Cornish who are English influenced are still much heavier in 'Atlantic' as opposed to 'North Central Euro' So i don't think a transition from even a Cornish-like population to one dominated by North Central Euro by the addition of a Dutch/German/Danish population with at most around 30% North Central Euro could have been achieved without significant genetic contribution.
 
interpreter with a lot of error results. That showed me K36 or Word9 is for half harebrained.
