Ray, you just happened to pick the one member of the Daisy Family that can be confused with the Umbelifers!
But now you know what Yarrow looks like, that problem is out of the way. Just be aware that it is often pink and sometimes red. (just to confuse things).
Also Yarrow flowers long after nearly all of the Umbelifers have finished.

To add - Cow parsley is the umbellifer you can see spreading throughout meadows and grasslands even woodlands in spring early summer - it will be everywhere then.
Bur Chervil - found on sandy ground, fruit has hooked bristles and is pretty local.
Rough chervil - has red/purple spotted stems and is likely to be found in shady hedgerows. Hemlock also has red blotching but that grows real tall and stinks!
