Just had a DNA ancestry test and it tells me I'm 47% iberian, 20% scandinavian.<br /><br />I don't have any scandinavian close ancestors, so that's probably where it comes from: Vikings in the Azores.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181009700226178209.post-90697933592518433122020-01-14T09:45:39.583+01:002020-01-14T09:45:39.583+01:00My maternal (MtDNA) line is from the Azores, and g...My maternal (MtDNA) line is from the Azores, and goes back to my 7th great-grandmother, who died in 1742 in Vila do Porto, on the Azorean Island of Santa Maria. My Haplogroup is V. My closest maternal line matches are from the Azores, then two from Brazil and Spain. After that, all the matches are from Scandinavia.JKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433655323766913584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181009700226178209.post-77664225717009293602016-05-10T06:03:37.710+02:002016-05-10T06:03:37.710+02:00Some weeks ago they have found a place, where the ...Some weeks ago they have found a place, where the vikings harvested iron for the nails of their ships in Newfoundland. Which seems one more sign for more often traveling between Europe and America (via - maybe - the Azores).<br /><br />http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/03/160331-viking-discovery-north-america-canada-archaeology/Ingo Badinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090794366290908769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181009700226178209.post-77595317516356278152016-05-10T05:58:23.920+02:002016-05-10T05:58:23.920+02:00Thank you for your comment.

I have done the sequencing of my genes by 23andMe and I am a descendent of flemish settlers too - coming to the Berlin-Brandenburg region in the dark ages.<br /><br />But I think, the Azores were settled before the XVth century and the flemish settlers mixed with the inhabitants of viking origin, isn't it?Ingo Badinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090794366290908769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181009700226178209.post-60077512956603761672016-05-10T01:28:39.735+02:002016-05-10T01:28:39.735+02:00A "viking fever" is starting in the Azor...A "viking fever" is starting in the Azores because some proofs have been found, including the azorean rats, which only exist in Norway. Aswell as some unknown ruins.<br />For me it is amazing because as a son of azoreans, we descend from flemish settlers who came in the end of XV century, and at the same time, they were the descendents of Rollo's Vikings. So, recently, a study found a norwegian gene within many central azoreans. Nothing surprising to me as many doctors and my dentist used to say I had caracteristics from Scandinavia.
