The five hundred years it took to name the original Celtic tribal groups should have given enough time to develop family identity and group adhesion. The Romans were the first to apply their observation about these folks who had joined together to oppose the Roman view of the world. The following drawing is taken from An Atlas Of Roman Britain, by Barri Jones and David Mattingly, Map 4:24, where I have placed these names in their geographic locations as they relate to my Celtic family. The Deceangli in the Vale of Clwyd, and the Cornovii in the Vale of Dee. It's in these same geographic areas that my Jones DNA gets passed down to me and the many generations yet to come. [There are five tribal groups identified in the area that was to become Wales.]
