Imagine you are standing in a line. Your father is behind you, his father behind him, his father behind him, his father behind him, and so on back 1000 generations. This group of people wouldn't fill the average pop concert venue, yet the last man in the line would have lived in around 30,000 BC. What would each man in the line look like? Where would he live? Who else would he be the ancestor of?

Discovery of this lineage cannot be found in church records, census documents, ancient histories, or hieroglyphics. This knowledge is found within your own DNA. It is encrypted into the genetic code that each of us carries. In unlocking that code, we can go on a journey through time back to the very beginning of human history.

This book begins with one such line. An old Irish family (Keegan or Clann MacAodhagain) with a Celtic pedigree. In it, we discover kings, shamans, sorcerers, fathers of entire nations - and the first King of the Celts. For the first time, a single family's origins are traced back to our most distant ancestors.

This is the story of a DNA journey that began with looking for information on a simple stone mason and ended up with the discovery of the first king of the Celts and a bloodline back to the start of human history.

Simon Keegan (author of Pennine Dragon and The Lost Book of King Arthur) was researching his family history but he reached an obstacle that could not be negotiated through the usual Family Tree Detective methods - of tracking down census documents and marriage certificates. So instead, he took a series of DNA tests and working with other Keegans around the world, he demonstrated how a family can trace its family history not just back to their clan founder about a thousand years ago, but to the very beginning of human history - and he shows how you can do it too.

The Keegan family tree is a fascinating example of how DNA testing can reveal hidden family histories. Simon Keegan began his search by taking a DNA test to determine his genetic heritage. He was surprised to discover that his family had a Celtic pedigree, dating back to the first king of the Celts.

Through further research, Simon Keegan was able to trace his family tree back to the very beginning of human history. He discovered that his ancestors were part of a group of people who migrated out of Africa around 30,000 BC and settled in Europe.

The Keegan family tree is a testament to the power of DNA testing and how it can help us uncover our family's past. It also highlights the importance of researching our family history to better understand our place in the world and our ancestors' contributions to society.

Simon Keegan's journey through the Keegan family tree has been a fascinating and rewarding experience. He has discovered a rich and complex history that has helped him better understand his own identity and place in the world. He hopes that his story will inspire others to take a similar journey and uncover the hidden histories of their own families.
