Re: VK389 and Kincaid dna as evidence of Vikings on Clyde river, Scotland?


 

In my father's line, I? know that his family is from Ravensberg, Germany (immigration to US c. 1890) and have a paper trail of marriages and baptisms back to about 1760. ?There are no testers that match him from this area, although there are families who still reside there with his surname and his surname is listed as early as c. 1450, but no path to them at this time.

Dad's line is 7378. Looking at his 'ancient connections' I find:
Vor Frue Kirkeg?rd 454 Y7378 Denmark 11th Century
Polhill 1 FGC31495 Polhill, Kent 18th Century
Kopparsvik 240 FGC31495 Sweden 18th Century
Cherry Hinton 923 FGC31495 Cambridgeshire 18th Century
Groningen 16 FGC31495 Netherlands 18th Century

Vor Frue Kirkeg?rd 454 was a man who lived between 1536 - 1806 CE during the Historical Scandinavia Age and was found in the region now known as Vor Frue Kirkeg?rd, Aalborg, Denmark.

He was associated with the Historical Dane cultural group.

His direct maternal line belonged to mtDNA haplogroup U4a3a.

Reference: CGG100454_4 from Barrie et al. 2024

In his surname project, he matches no one, with most falling under the I branch of the tree and show their origination from Switzerland, and the population with his surname are numerous.

Since there are so few testers from Germany, I believe his line has not tested but comes via the Danish line, which may have come via the Viking raids.
