Now that DNA is here, it is being shown that the Hispanics are actually descended from the tribes of Israel. One man, a Roman Catholic priest in New Mexico with the last name Sanchez was tested by his DNA and it was compared to the DNA of a Cohen, a Jew , whose lineage goes back to Aaron brother of Moses and from the tribe of Levi.
Their DNA showed they came from the same tribe; Levi.
My point? The Britons came from the Vikings, the Normans and have no link to the tribes of Israel.
If ever there was a true gentile, it is the Brit.
They are dewscended fronm all Gentiles which is a non Jew.

I would guess the biggest provider to the melting pot would be the Romans due to the heavy influx during the campaigns they had at the time. Thousands of Roman soldiers had some influx to them.

Some say they're part of the biblical Lost Tribes of Israel. But of course, we can never be sure.
