hakama Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Has anybody got any idea how many people live here that have Norwegian roots as opposed to people who do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 I was at a do a while back that the Norwegian Consul organised for people of Norwegian origin or with Norwegian connections. There were over 100 people there. I guess there were a few who were invited but didn't come and a few the consul didn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelsup Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 I think there was a dna study a few years ago that reckoned about 51% had a unique Norwegian DNA marker. It was for a tv series.. think the Western Isles had about 30 %. If my memory serves me right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakama Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 That 51% would only relate to how many were tested, the actual % could be a lot more or a lot less, when was this done and how many people took part, does anyone know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George. Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) According to The Scotsman, 29.2% of Viking decendants in Shetland have the DNA that show Nordic roots. https://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle-2-15039/vikings-still-running-rampant-in-scottish-dna-1-3781684 Edited May 20, 2019 by George.
