    3. The Scandinavian bit can easily be explained by a little thing called the Norman Conquest. We all must have Norman ancestors somewhere in our family tree - my own DNA test showed a direct paternal line to Normans. In fact, as I know from other branches of my paternal family where they are likely to have been living at the time of Domesday, the record for the parish includes a 'Frenchman' among the residents. Although the term as used in Domesday applied to all foreigners, not necessarily French, I think that may be him. Normans were ethnically Angles who had migrated from what is now Denmark into Northern France - they were originally Norsemen.

There is a percentage missing and do not understand that. With all my research going back years, have only found family coming from Devon, Somerset and Hampshire then there is a French connection some 30 generations back. As far as autosomal testing, I am sure how to do that. My Ethnicity estimate is (100% European) 84% British with various trace regions including 4% Russian/Finish, 2% Scandinavian etc. Our ancestors got around.
