The Celts came off of the steppes?  I thought they were in southern Europe at least as far back as the end of the last ice age. 

Didn't they find ancient redhead remains in China?

Tocharians != Celts, though both are Indo-European.

All Indo-European peoples have roots on the Caspain steppe, at the very least linguistically and, to a certain extent, culturally.  The Celts in particular appear to have had quite a bit in common with the Scythians artistically.

Now genetics are a different story.  Obviously, the  Assamese and Irishmen have different genetic background, however. \


Gypsies?  By the year 1000 I think they were turning up in Byzantine records.  No one is exactly sure when they came from India, though.
