How would a British person know if they are Celtic, Anglo Saxon, Viking, or Norman. Is there any way you can tell? The Welsh, Scottish, and Irish are probably more Celtic as far as I know.

They aren't fake. There are historical records.

Celtic and Germanic can be separated. Normans are genetically Scandinavians, so assuming you mean the Norse when you say "Vikings", then yeah, good luck with that.
I'm sure there's some way to tell the "southernness" of Germanic DNA apart from the northern dito for Saxons or Angles or their snowflake remix Anglo-Saxons.
But it all requires DNA-testing I guess (not the commercial bullshit obv).

In modern times it really doesn't matter. They meme about how they're family is purely descended from this single village and no one has ever entered or left it ever, but they're really all just mutts of every group to settle the Islands. Rest of Europeans are that way. It's actually really annoying how they all think like that, but DNA tests always show they're mixed with various groups that have settled or passed through the region over the centuries.

>Normans are genetically Scandinavians

You mean they were.

Maybe 100 years ago you could easily work out who someone was descended from by looking at where they were born, their surname, and what language they used.
Obviously, everyone used English but in places like Yorkshire which experienced Scandinavian invasions, many people had Anglicised Old Norse surnames or even straight up Old Norse surnames. The English they would use at home would have old Norse words mixed throughout.
As trains and automobiles advanced and it became cheaper, easier, and quicker for people to travel throughout the country, and it became easier to listen to people from other parts of the country through radio. This meant people mixed with other people and the obscure English dialects died and surnames are no longer representative of your direct lineage.
Still though today the names of towns and villages match up with who settled it. East of the Pennines there are old Norse names, west of the Pennines it’s Celtic names.

Would it be accurate to say that the majority of British people have Anglo Saxon roots?

Pic related is celtic/briton
R1b U106 is anglo/saxon
l1 is norman but can also be anglo/saxon

I think every major dna test gives you these subclades with timeframes so you can compare it to the migration periods
