1. New Article. Wales and the Tribe of Asher
Asher in Wales
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/tribes/asher1/asherwales.html
Extracts:
In short the different names for Wales (Cymry, Cymru, , Cymry, etc) or Welshmen (combrogi) may all derive from a root meaning fellow countrymen or some such connotation.
This is consistent with the name Heber (from the Tribe of Asher) whose name means something similar.
This was especially pertinent to the people of northern Wales who considered themselves one body with the original (Brythonic-speaking) inhabitants of Celtic Culture who had once dwelt in northern England and southern Scotland.
These latter areas were those that we had identified with the Tribe of Asher from the beginning.
The characteristics of Asher were being happy, economically prosperous, successful, very formidable warriors (at least according to Brit-Am), known for beautiful daughters, and so on. We would not say that the Welsh lack these characteristics but some of the Scottish and a portion of the Irish might fit them better.
It should be remembered,
Most areas in which we find settlers of Israelites had been traversed at different times by several of the various tribes.
Eventually one or other of the tribes settled permanently in the said place and imparted to it aspects of its tribal imprint.
This justifies us in identifying the place with that particular Tribe.
It does not mean that descendants of other Tribes were not also present.
Even in Biblical Times while still in the Land of Israel the Tribes intermixed to some degree.

Brit-Am Reply:
Shalom,
We try to avoid answering question on DNA.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Victar/R1b1b2a1a1_(Y-DNA)
It appears to represent over 25% of R1b in Europe.[1]
Your haplogroup is found to a significant degree in most nations we identify as Israelite.
See the table in the above URL.
DNA is something we cannot wholly accept. Nor can we reject it. It is difficult to get a handle on it.
We are convinced that Environment determines DNA to some degree.
Where it is warmer then DNA has more changes.
DNA classification follow geographical patterns.
It is also transferred by heredity and tells us something about ancestry.
How reliable is it really concerning racial classifications?
Is it reliable at all?
And how far back can we take it?
