No. It is restricted to Irish who had all Irish Great-grandparents who all came from a 50 mile radius of where the sample person is currently living.

Depending on where in Scotland, you may have Viking ancestors who settled/intermixed. I have Scottish lines tracing the the Isle of Lewis and Harris and as a former Viking stronghold, I expect that’s where the Scandinavian comes in.

[@Art-is-craft]

I think most of the DNA models are flawed. And are based on lots of theories. Everybody seems to think there was hundreds of thousands of Vikings just descending on the British Isles. Vikings were small raiding parties setting up small encampments at best.

[@robertb6889]

@Art-is-craft Specific locations had permanent or semi-permanent settlements of Vikings and much longer impacts. Specifically in the Shetlands, Orkney and the Western Isles, etc. They settled a bit and built more permanent forward settlements. If you have direct ties to some of those regions you’ll have a lot more admixture of Norse DNA than in places where they were o ot politically dominant or occasional raids. Population movements are not a smooth continuum. They’re very granular and local.

[@Art-is-craft]

@@robertb6889 But none of that means hundreds of thousands of Vikings just decided on the UK. It does not exclude it but nor does it prove the case. Remote settlements make sense but for them to have hundreds of thousands would mean they had their own kingdoms.

You are aware of the Danelaw, the Viking/norse/Danish kings? Of 1066 and the competing claims of Harald Hardrada? Of William the conqueror and the generations of Norman kings (ie Norse-man) whose claims came from their Nordic ancestors? You are aware of the Jarl of Orkney and his rule over Orkney, Caithness and Sutherland, which is called Sutherland because it was the south most land ruled by Norse Orkney, which was transferred to Scotland in 1472 due to failure to pay a dowry? You are aware of the Kingdom of the Isles from 849 to 1265 that was quite literally a Norse-Gaelic kingdom in the Hebrides and Isle of Man? There is a debate about how many settlers were Danish, Norwegian, etc. and how much was just an elite rule. But really “they’d have had their own kingdoms” well of COURSE they did.

You're reading history with a modern map, even the medieval people didn't use our maps, the word Orient or East is how the map was 'oriented'.

I've heard that Scotland was invaded and colonized from Ireland sometime near the end of the Roman occupation of Britain, so the common ancestry belt might be some kind of circulation, rather than a single event? My maternal maternal great-grandfather was Irish, married to someone of Maltese + German/Platt roots, but coming from Croatian or Montenegrin roots before that, mainly - although his wife had a "proper Maltese" surname. There are some Italian first names in there, too, but that might've just been from "fitting in" with the Republic of Venice. The Irish great-grandfather was Jewish (but I think had already converted to a Protestant branch of Christianity - probably Methodist/Wesleyan). How "Irish" is Mr Bloom? I suppose not very, for the purposes of genetic detective work. For cultural purposes, he sounded to be entirely Irish in the book, though. But in this case it's irrelevant, isn't it? If he left some mistresses with child, their data points would need to be excluded as outliers. Doesn't matter how they fitted into the culture's niches. My maternal paternal great-grandmother had a "properly Irish" surname, but that came via her grandfather (who married an English woman). It's said he was disinherited and disowned for converting to another one of the teetotal Protestant cults - Methodists again. Somewhere in one of the paternal lines of my mother is at least one other migrant from the South of Ireland with a Scottish surname, so some plantation era link, there. (Apart from that, it's all English, Welsh, or Borderlands. One had a Welsh surname meaning something like "The Foreigner" - or Englishman of the village.) In this well scattered world of ours, I don't think this is going to be uncommon, once you get to places of net migration instead of immigration? To the Irish, Jewish, Maltese, Croatian, Dutch or Platt, German, Scottish, English, at least one part of our family has gone off to go and be half Greek from now on, for instance. That's happening to a lot of people. Yes some people are still ultra-endogamous, but most just let the dice fall where Love casts them. I suppose what this says from this "detective work" point of view (that is treating all of this as just spoor to follow down the trail) now might be the last time in history where this kind of research can meaningfully be done. Immigrants are moving in, for starters. Given time, that's going to start erasing some of the tracks you can now find. So there you go, a nice incredibly convincing rambling explanation you could polish up to justify more funding. What you're doing has to be done now, otherwise it'll be too late.

[@lisajackson1964]

You lost me on being pushed into North America and attacked by Native Americans. First point, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh were all mostly native Celtic speakers prior to the mid-1800’s. The Irish, Welsh, and Scottish were all subjugated by the British and many Protestant Scot’s went to Northern Ireland as settlers in the 1600’s, due to lack of opportunity in Scotland. The Scots became known as Scots Irish and in the 1700’s many moved to the US for greater opportunity. Native American tribes who inhabited large areas of the US were displaced by the European settlers; largely British and Scots-Irish. Over a million largely Catholic Irish immigrated to the US during and after the potato famine. They were opportunists and many succeeded, due to hard work and persistence. The world doesn’t hate the Irish and Scots. Look how much everyone lives St Patrick’s Day. Don’t know why you feel victimized, but you shouldn’t.
