My ancestry is Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Denmark so I should have some Viking in there somewhere. :-)

The Vikings took over swaths of Ireland, Scotland -- they were the first apparent settlers on some of those islands -- and England. If you get your DNA 'done', you can anticipate perhaps 35 percent Scando. Having Danish ancestry will really pile in more. :^)

“My ancestry is Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Denmark so I should have some Viking in there somewhere. :-)” You probably have a lot of Scandinavian blood. The Vikings raided the British Isles for hundreds of years then many decided to stay. They were absorbed into the population bringing their DNA with them. They were also in western Europe and that would include France. When the Norman Conquest came in 1066 the French brought some Viking DNA with them as well.
