An Oxford scientist said the discovery of these DNA strains in the UK was extremely unusual, and there was no information about these Indian ancestors before.

American Indians were brought to England in the early 15th century. Many of them were bought for curious bosses, but others came here to join the delegation in the 18th century to bring trade proposals. to the British royal government or offer to protect them from other tribes.

Experts said some of these people may have stayed in the UK and married local people.

Doreen Isherwood , 64, from Putney and Anne Hall, 53, lives in Huddersfield, only knowing about his New World roots after paying for DNA testing. "It was a shaky information for me. It made me wonder: Who am I?" Isherwood said.

She also said that the Indians must have come here in the 17th or 18th centuries. She had to re-visit the family tree to her mother until 1798 and found no sign of her predecessors New world.

The test was conducted on two women based on DNA analysis of "energy plants" in cells: mitochondria. This is the only organ outside the nucleus of the cell that contains DNA, and so its own DNA can only be inherited according to the mother line.
