BuffJim Posted May 8, 2021 Share #2 Posted May 8, 2021 I’m 37.5% Swedish. The rest is a mix of German and the British Isles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ancestry.com DNA analysis says I've got some Swedish blood. Maybe it was a Viking nailing one of my Irish, German, or Polish ancestors during a raid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted May 9, 2021 Share #10 Posted May 9, 2021 Nun here. We’re Scots-Irish here. I haven’t done the spit in a tube DNA test so there could be others I don’t know about. My cousin’s wife is full Norwegian. She’s a hoot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted May 9, 2021 Share #12 Posted May 9, 2021 Last week we watched Atlantic Crossing on PBS. It’s the story of the Crown Princess of Norway (primarily) who convinces Roosevelt to help Britain and indirectly Norway. It seems his fascination with her was the motivation for the Loan Lease Act. They speak Norwegian with subtitles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted May 9, 2021 Share #13 Posted May 9, 2021 Viking ancestry going backwards for me, is pretty well impossible. I went to national museum in Copenhagen, Denmark where there is a major permanent exhibit of Viking artifacts that covered 1 floor, etc. Some elaborate jewellery, etc. Also Vikings were like the Mongols in China (Genghis Khan), some brutal times...like any ruling / conquering party during those times.
