I apologise in advance for this Thread: I'm probably reading this entirely wrong, given my extremely limited knowledge of Genetics and Ancestry.
So, having got that out of the way; I read in another DNA Forum that L159.2 has been found in Ireland - it is apparently linked to some Irish kings - as well as the UK, the Hebrides, Norway and Denmark.
According to the post I read, the Norwegians who tested positive for L159.2 and the Scots differed in one area: the Norwegians all had a value of 10 at DYS391, while none of the Scots did.
If the L159 in Norway was a result of Scots living in Norway, perhaps taken there as slaves during the Viking era, I would have expected the Norwegian L159.2's to have similar DYS391 values(told you I was a Newbie:ashamed2.
The fact that the Norwegians had a different value leads me to ask this question; if an L21+/L159.2 + Scot has a value of 10 at DYS391, does this indicate possible Norwegian/Viking ancestry?
Or, far more probable, have I got it all completely wrong?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
