Swedish Scandinavian Ancestry
In follow-up to an earlier post, it makes perfect sense that Frau Holle,
the great mother goddess of the Teutonic people, is revealed to be my
patroness as a witch, and as a descendent of the Vikings. In the photo,
are the results of the autosomal DNA
test (by STR analysis) I had done which looks at the genes I inherited
from all of my ancestors. According to these results (numbers also shown
for my top six population matches), which look back approximately 500
years, Sweden is clearly the top land of my modern ancestors - no other land
even comes to close it in terms of the raw Match Index number result,
although my Norway Tribe Score (in parentheses) is equal to my Swedish
Tribe Score, indicating a strong Viking ancestry and family blood ties to Norway as well. Wales, Scotland and
the UK in general are also in my top five matches - lands where Vikings
heavily settled during the Middles Ages. On top of all this, my
motherline mtDNA haplogroup is U5b, called Clan Ursula among
genealogists, and is a Northwestern European haplogroup. My motherline
and autosomal DNA tests were both done through different labs in
different countries. Even as I await my Family Finder results (to
confirm and add more detail to my ancestral genetic research), I think
it's pretty clear that my ancestors were heavily Viking.
