There are those of us who are interested, buy who because of mixed ancestry can't be subjects in your research. There are DNA segments in my family that are most typical of Norwegians but show up where ever there was substantial Viking settlement. On the other hand, my mtDNA shows the north of Fennoscandia across borders matching that you mention. It seems to me that there is some DNA that has a coastal Norwegian and Viking dispersion, and other old inland cross border types. But these are early days yet, and there is nothing people outside the research group can do yet except wait for more discoveries and a practical method to apply them.

Mutations seen in Norwegians appears mostly in other Norwegians especially the most common shared only between two persons, the same for Swedes, Finns and the Saami. However there appears to be sharing between regions for the most shared mutations. There also appears to be regional clustering in the north of Fennoscandia across borders. I have visually controlled many haplotypes found lately and they appears consistent with the occurance of mutations in haplotypes giving unique haplotypes not seen outside Fennoscandia. This means that autosomal haplogroups are definable and detectable. > > > Anders > > > > ________________________________ > Fra: Anders Pålsen<[email protected]> > Til: [email protected] > Sendt: Tirsdag, 22. november 2011 14.29 > Emne: [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] Fennoscandian BGA: Mutation Shared Matrix > > Mutation Sharing Matrix consist currently known unique haplotype mutations map for Fennoscandia shared with two or more individuals on chromosome 1. > > These mutations is currently only known in Fennoscandia. > > > Anders > > http://fennoscandia.blogspot.com/2011/11/fennoscandian-mutation-sharing-matrix.html > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

I was more thinking about second opinions about the methods used. I can so far not say anything than that the mutations the software identify is truly there by visual inspection. Some mutations is only seen in a individual in one extremee, and on the other extreme there are some haplotypes that is completly pan-european.
