- cogogo 2mo agoThat wikipedia article is pretty clear that it is a myth and there is no genetic evidence of shipwrecked Spanish sailors having children.
- MontgomeryPy 2mo agoYes. There is an Iberian connection that explains Irish folks with dark features, but that would be from Neolithic farmers migrating there 5000 years earlier.
