Just found out my DNA is of a Keltic Country that used to be in the North-west part of Italy known as Taurini - now Torino in Piedmont Canton. This is for Bricker's who have the appropriate DNA to match the last name Taurini, also extended to Bern Canton in Switzerland. My ancestors were in Switzerland prior to coming to the US in 1737. The 12th marker on their DNA must be S28 to qualify for Taurini Keltic-Kelten. Colours - The base blue is the colour of my shield with gold, the Red and white is for the three flags we lived under, Piedmont Italy, Switzerland, Alsace Germany, Brown is for earth, Green is for trees. Purple is for the mountains, white is for snow, blue is for the sky. - pre 2007 — Tau-Taurini (Personal) (tartans-authority, record)
