If you google Norse and Viking DNA, it appears that R1a is their Haplogroup. My male family members are all J1 or R1b. Shirley
My Viking roots go back to mt DNA X which is rare. Copy Haplogroups I and X are each found in only 1% of the modern European population. Haplogroup I has been found in over 10% of the bodies in tested from Viking cemeteries. Other studies also found mtDNA haplogroup X in Anglo-Saxon skeletons, suggesting a possible Germanic origin. I can only go back to about 1770 to Rogart, Sutherland, Scotland.

Years ago (mid-90s), I was talking to an elderly lady in my local family history library who was telling me that her ancestors were from Norway originally, but so far she had only traced them back to Shetland. When I suggested to her that her ancestors had most probably arrived in Shetland with the Vikings, she promptly asked “Do they have passenger records?”. :-} Cheers David Armstrong Maylands Western Australia --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Eleanor, Very interesting, I had my husband test so that I would have his mother's Dna. She was an X and I have never gotten a match - in four years!!!

My results from FTDNA were hardly posted and I got an enquiry re Pocahontas - no - all from Scotland and Ireland. Two others I have been in contact with, but I got them back further, but nothing before 1800, one in US and the other here in Canada. I checked yesterday and a few more there with the genetic distance of 0 - have not contacted them yet. Eleanor P.S.

Talked to one of our VERY knowledgeable DNA experts yesterday at the SCGS (Jamboree) library. She explained that X is VERY rare and comes from the north but appears all over the place - native Americans is one place that it shows up. My mother-in-law was a blue-eyed Italian with fair skin whose parents came from Asti in the Italian Alps region. BUT at least you have had some matches - I have gotten NONE on her in four years!

Hi Marge: Other than the two previously mentioned, the next six were this year. I have sent an email to one of them. We are X2c1 on the Haplogroup. The man from Sweden that contacted me is a genetic distance of 1. Hope you soon get some results.
