Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 More in the same line: The BBC did a program on the Vikings some time ago, and reported on genetic studies aiming to find traces of Norsemen in the areas where the Norsemen were historically known to have settled. In some places, the Norse population had evidently been replaced, but in the more distant areas of England and Scotland, the genetic evidence was loud and clear and pointing to Western Norway.
