Thats pretty cool stuff, my own mongrel bog Irish to continental DNA probably has a few of these markers in it. |

All those of Western European ethnicity, with all the fictitious nationalities created thereof, are going to have primarily Celtic and Germanic/Norse DNA. Even those Vikings from a millennium ago are probably not immune either, as the waves of Germanic invasions generally involved little more than a change in ruling class, coupled with complete assimilation with the native population.

Doesn't most of our DNA come from Celtic or Norse background? I thought so.

It's a strange thought, but, last night, walking home, I trod on the graves of long dead Vikings. I live in an area of Dublin which to this day has streets that were originally built and named by the Vikings - it's an important part of Irish, and of course Danish heritage.

Nice...I'm a Viking myself. Was named after a Viking queen (Astrid, sister of Canute/Knute the Great), and according to my dad's geneology we're actually descendants

we're all descendents.
For every king there must be an extended family of dozens of brothers, sisters, cousins, also-rans... I'm convinced that we're all related, in every sense. |

Once you hit around 800 AD common ancestry for people of any European decent is more or less guaranteed.
2 parents, 4 grand parents, 8 great grandparents... it all overlaps eventually. |
