I think mine were. Do you know your background?

 

My ancestors lived in the alps and hunted big deer

thays where the name gamsjager comes from

 

What would prompt you to ask such a question?

I think I may be a descendant, too. That would explain why I like to rape, pillage and plunder as much s I do...

Just kidding. But I did love that movie "The 13th Warrior." If you haven't seen it, it is very good, and one of those movies that gets better when you watch it over and over.

Mmmmmmmm...Plunder...

Viking are a really fascinating people, if any of you enjoy reading go out and pick up some of the classic sagas. I'm sicilian and I have to say those vikings do revenge pretty well. It's pretty amazing how technologically advanced the longboat was for the time.

 

Can only trace back to Revolutionary war - have an ancestor who fought in 6 battles with George Washington, including Trenton. He even fought in 1812 War when he was an old fogey. Wish I could say the Vikings were in the family tree, but would only be guessing (lots of Swedish, English, & Norwegians, however).

 

Nobody in my family knows anything about our ancestory. Supposedly we can be traced way back to N. American Indians but that's about all I know.

 

Probably not. Mine were mostly Scottish, Dutch, Irish mix. No pure blood here.

 

My wife traces back to Leif Eircson, mine hale from Scotland.
Four sons mixed with Viking and Highlander blood. With a Mcleod on the wife's side too boot.

 

Nope. And proud of it.

German, irish, and scotch here.

 

Were there any hillbilly Vickings?

I was watching the History Channel last night. I thought it was neat when they went up the river to Paris. They received a ton of gold to leave and not come back.

 

...Predominately Japanese-Irish mix here....so I guess I drink a lot and wear funny clothes....

 

My dads family comes from Norway and Sweden, so it is a possibility. Although no one has been able to trace it nowhere near that far back. My last name comes from the Swedish city my great-great-great-grandfather came from. He changed it when he immigrated.

 

There were vikings in Oklahoma, in the hills... not sure if any of them were named Billy though.

Okie Vikings

 

I am a Viking.Came over in 72 from Huddinge with my parents as a kid to Canada.
