I am back with my usual: You are all decendance of the vikings !

I would like to point out that it will most likely be Irish people who decend from Norwegian Vikings as this was their main recidens on the British Isles (and the Isle of Man). The Vikings in England was mainly frome Denmark, of course there must have been a great deal of Norwegians as well, but mainly danish.

Normaly it is devided like this:

Norwegian: Iceland, Greenland and Vinland
Danish: England and France
Swedish: Russia (east europe) and Byzantium
(very generalised)

With that said I will move on to the real reason I am posting

I just find it odd to make a big deal out of Normans as they are direct decendance of the Vikings. There is not a lot of generations between those vikings who was given Normandy and the Normans who invated England. They settled in 911 under the leadership of Hrolf Ganger and in 1066 they invaded England under the leadership of Willam II. Of course they have been mixed with the french, but come on.

The Norwegian Vikings of Dublin were expelled and they then went on to settle on the Lancashire coast, which at that time must have been an incredibly desolate place (it still is, if you mistakenly take a holiday at Pontins...

), marshy and low-lying. It was also close to the main route through to York, the Ribble, where some of the Vikings stashed their treasure, The Cuerdale Hoard. Irish Norwegians.

The poor Celts got dragged all over the place by the Vikings during the time of the Irish-Scottish settlement.
For example he genetic descent of Icelanders has recently been shown to be 30-40% Celt. Why? Because the Norwegian women, being wise, wouldn't go with their crazy men to this godforsaken island. So they had to sail to Scotland and Ireland and borrow some slavegirls from their cousins who had settled there....

As I see no serious objections to poll questions as suggested, and have no means of giving more detailed poll, I'm putting it up as listed in the initial post. Only entry #3 is altered to include Germanic alongside Roman and Celtic (for those voting for Germanic-Celtic

)

The main ingredients to my mush pot is Italian, German, Welsh. I have no idea which to click. Help, please.

I'm 75% Frisian and 25% Dutch, to which some of you might say, "Just admit it, LMP, you're 100% Dutch!" Which would be true, except that Frisians have a rather exalted opinion about their own identity as compared to the rest of their Netherlandish compatriots. Now, I classed myself with the first group rather than the second, which may be considered to be debatable. But when you say Roman/Germanic, that leads me to think of French and Spanish, not Dutch. So I think I have to class myself with Germanic/Scandinavian.
