I did some genealogical research over the weekend and my suspicions were confirmed... both my paternal and maternal great grandfathers were descended from Scottish Travelers. I already knew about the connection on the paternal side of my family, but was quite surprised that the maternal side came from them too. It's kinda weird that they ended up together.
I was always kinda stumped by the relevance of the "nomad" blood type B connection, since my paternal connection is strictly type O. Now that I know about the maternal connection, it makes sense. I just figured the odds were extremely low that both sides actually came from verified Scottish Traveler families, but here we are.
