My ancestors are from the southwest coast of Ireland so it looks like I might have some Viking blood in me.

After 1000 years I'm pretty sure that every Irish, English, Scottish person has Viking veins as does most Poles, many Germans and Russians too

Ditto for Jewish blood in most peoples

The natural assumption would be that English genes would be more prevalent in eastern Ireland than in western.

But a study of the current genetic make-up showed the opposite. The reason was that there was more migration to America from western Ireland, and the Irish who remained intermarried with the English troops stationed there.
