98. But saying the name "Stringfellow" proves it is incorrect
because it is an English surname, and so proves no connection with Celts at all. You can't prove connections with Druids using surnames of any language, because surnames came about long after the Druids had disappeared. See post #97.

There's a good chance that anyone who has some British ancestry (Welsh, English or Scottish) has ancestors who were Britons before the Romans came to the island, and, if Druids had children (I haven't the faintest idea), there'd be Druids among them. The numbers of so many generations makes it very likely. But thinking that an English surname has anything to do with it is wrong (and what's so special about an all-male inheritance, anyway?). Thinking that one has an unusual connection to Druids is also wrong. There aren't reliable records for any British families going back that far - even royalty.
