Who are your ancestors?


The Norse or Viking areas of Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark) are relatively close to Celtic and Pict ones (English, Irish, Scottish, and Irish), so there are overlaps in some beliefs and practices.

The Viking invasions of the British Isles happened between 793 and 1066. Although the Vikings came from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, many crossed from Denmark to northeastern England and eastern Scotland.

Celtic paganism had disappeared in favor of Christianity by then; nevertheless, the invaders would still have learned some of the original mythology.

@Smithy, I ask you a question, and of course, it your ancestors don't have to be British.

Some of mine are... My great x5 Grandfather was from the village of Pytchley. (Born 1456.)

Almost forgot why I opened this thread... Did you make the text bigger? I can see it better, but as you pointed out earlier, it's makes you do a lot of scrolling.
