I love Ireland and the Irish people...we’ve travelled there twice and plan to go back...the island is just beautiful and I loved the Irish people that we met...so I was quite happy when my DNA showed predominantly Irish...wish I could live there for awhile...
From DNA testing I know that my mother's side is largely Swedish with a bit of Finnish mixed in. My maternal haplogroup is J1b1a. My dad's family is Irish and British with a bit of Scandinavian mixed in. This video has raised all sorts of questions for me. Are the J1's like me from the hunters, farmers or bronze age? Could my dad's family be of Viking origin? Any ideas of next steps to take to pursue these questions?
Peter it was an in lighting lecture on the DNA, i did an ancestry DNA Kit and it came back 30% irish 25% Scandinavian; therefore your saying R1a is a viking, my last name is Taylor and all my Ancestries in the Taylor side of my blood line are very large male figures the other % of my DNA is from Great Britain and Togo. I would like to take a DNA test through your genetic genealogy kit if you have one.
My DNA test revealed I’m from Munster Ireland 36% and around 25-30% Viking linked DNA. I’m more Swedish than Norwegian it says. My Viking link is larger than I first thought. Actually I’m stunned. DNA can be amplified by a presence in a Viking controlled region.
Peter I am surprised that you did not mention the fact that the Irish who have the Y-DNA R1b could also be of Viking decent considering that 31% of Norwegians are R1b! In fact Haplogroup R1b is most prevalent in western and southern Norway, near the seacoast! ? Also you show R1b coming only to Norway from Ireland and it was actually the other way around. Are you trying to say the Irish fathered 31% of the Scandinavian population??? You missed a huge segment of Irish with Scandinavian decent from R1b and your flow chart ignores a huge group.
That still does not make them "vikings". They were there BEFORE the Vikings. The Vikings evolved from the ancient saxons, many of which migrated North.
No R1b has been in Ireland since the early Bronze Age, it did not come during the Viking age. Are you suggesting Norwegians fathered 84% of the Irish population?
Sir Maxwell we had our DNA done 23andMe and here's what it said. Mostly Irish and a little French my mother was a redhead with sharp blue eyes. We also have a special Gene that's pretty rare I guess common in Elite power athletes ? Alpha antinin 3 protein. Where did it come from ?
He forgot the Coursey/ De Courcy line of Vikings. My first cousin male Coursey descendant of a male Coursey tested for Y chromosome I1a-P109 as well as well documented writings regarding De Courcy being a general alongside William the Coqueror in the Invasion of 1066.
There is Norse Vikings and Danish Vikings the Norse went to Ireland the the Danes went to England they both fought but the Norse Irish Vikings beat the English Danes Vikings history Is history
I did the DNA test and the results were over 60% Irish....next was over 20% Scandinavian...I think it was 5% English...and the rest was Western European...I’m not sure which country qualifies as Western European...I don’t think I have any Scandinavian names in our history..lots of Irish names...O’Neal being one...I thought maybe the Scandinavian DNA came from Vikings who invaded Irelandand Scotland...
Both my parents were Irish and all my ancestors as far as I am aware so I hope that means I'm 100% Gael but I haven't had a DNA done so I don't know.I have a real aversion to anything Viking though;I wonder is it a race memory or something like that?
My granny was from Wexford or Wexfjord. My granny one of 11 they all had platinum blonde hair, pale blue eyes & porcelain skin.I have flaxen, blonde hair, sky blue eyes & ivory skin sight yellow tinge & I tan very easily, all of my family on every side was born & bred in Ireland.I have gotten a DNA testing kit be interesting to see if I have Viking DNA.
Ancestry says I have 4% Sweden DNA yet have 3-4 Irish 4x GGs. 3% Ireland for Mt Irish Ancestoes. It says 16% England and 1% Norway for my Brirish DNA, 20% Walws(I think it is a bit less Welsh and more English), 11% France for my Arcadien ancestoes, and 45% Scorland(which I think is a bit less), none of my Spanish ancestoes where highlighted like my 6x GG and 7x-9x GGs(1-2%), I have distant native ancestors as well, I have Ulster Scot/Anglo DNA but gets labelled as Scorland, and I still don’t know my maternal grandfather’s father? I am not confirmed that he was Scottish? 9-11 centuries(801-900 901-1000 and 1001-1100). I’m still going to 23andMa(in 10 weeks for Christmas)b from today Wed Oct 16th 2024.

Careful! Ancestry dot com sells your DNA to the FBI and also, they are NOT accurate - they give a very broad range at best. You might better have it done by a private lab, which will cost about $400.00 or more but it will be much more accurate. Pin pointing "Viking" DNA is extremely difficult so dont be fooled by the internet fake claims. Actual "Viking" DNA is very dilute because they traveled and bred all over most of the globe. If you can trace as many generations as possible to those relatives who were Irish Nationals, you pretty much will have some "Viking" in your genes. I am a Sociologist and study this very intently. Btw, modern biased history would like to have you believe anything other than the truth. We are NOT frome european origins, we are NOT caucasians. Calling us CELTS "european" or "caucasian" is RACIST and OFFENSIVE. Only within the past century did Ireland join the European Union, but in antiquity, we were never actual europeans. "Europa" was very small. Thank Darwin for all the bullshit lies about us. Did you know? Vikings even bred in Spain. Best to you, my friend.
I was 44% Irish on Ancestry(but a chunk of that comes from my Scottish Highland background too) and 18% Scandinavian. Mitochondrial DNA is U5a1a1, I believe. Not sure what that means exactly but it seems to be found in Northern Europe.

No. Only reason Danes and Norwegians have red hair is because the vikings brought over British slaves back to Scandinavia. Hence why Swedes have little to no red hair genes in their bloodlines. They raided east toward Russia while the others raided west toward the British Isles & France
Mine came back 66% Scottish/ Irish, 20% scandinavian, 1% finnish , and some south european. 0 English, which was a suprise, since my last name is English.
