I read on http://britannia.com/wales/whist.html that the ancient Galatians (ancient Celtic tribes in what is now Modern Turkey (Anatolia)) were the ancesters of the Welsh people, and perhaps the Gaelic peoples, of the British Isles. Can anyone confirm this, or refute it?
Also, if they are, could you give insight into the history of how they got there?
EDIT: Wrong link above - correct link: http://www.britannia.com/celtic/wales/facts/facts2.html
"The Welsh people themselves are descendants of the Galatians, to whom Paul wrote his famous letter" from that link.
EDIT: I found this link about the ancient Galatians that might be helpful, but it mentions nothing about Wales or the British Isles: http://www.ancient.eu/galatia/
Absolutely not. The Welsh (and Cornish, etc) are the cultural descendents of the Celtic peoples who had lived in Wales (and what would become England) since the first coming of the Celts to the islands in prehistory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insular_Celts).
Insular Celtic languages are divided into two families. "Gaelic" or "Goidelic" refers to the Celtic languages in Ireland, and in Scotland after it was conquered by the Gaels in the Early Medieval period (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goidelic_languages). The languages in Wales, what would become England, and Brittany in France are termed "Brythonic" or "Brittonic". The language spoken by those in what would become Scotland, before the Gaelic expansion, appears to have belonged to this branch though it isn't certain. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittonic_languages).
The Galatians are Celts, like the Welsh, but are more closely related to Gauls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauls). Both were part of the Continental Celts as opposed to the Insular Celts (which is the group the Welsh are a part of). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Celtic_languages). The Galatians settled in central Anatolia in the 200s BC, long after the Celtic settlement of Britain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galatians_%28people%29).
