The local matches indicate your genetic similarity to ancient Vikings from these different regions, that reflect their local histories.

Scandinavian Viking

The Vikings of Scandinavian erupted into the landscape of Europe in the 9th century, with rapid raids on England, and stories into France. Recorded historically by terrified Christians, these western movements are documented extensively in history. Those Vikings who remained in the west gave rise to important cultures and societies.

Finnish Viking

As the people of Scandinavian moved eastward, they entered the territory of the Finns. The Vikings and later armies under the kings of Sweden, conquered Finland and the eastern Baltic region.

Scientific Background
