The circles represent the gene pools of the Scottish and Irish, Icelandic and Scandinavian population groups at different points in time. Circle diameter broadly reflects the relative population sizes. The vertical arrows represent the transmission of DNA between generations within populations, while the diagonal arrows represent the settlement of Iceland from 870 to 930 AD from Scotland, Ireland and Scandinavia.

Without a study that takes samples on a time line, how is it possible to know when a strain of DNA arrives. I don't think Iceland had any cities in the Hanseatic League, but as an island nation I have to think that it was served by the merchants, a quite mobile slice of Europe's population. Many of the merchants transplanted their whole families & original sources show a large percentage of populations originating from other league cities.

Other than an extensive sampling on a time line, how would it be possible to know that a strain of DNA arrived in the tenth century rather than the seventeenth or eighteenth?

This is a demonstration of a phenomenon known as 'genetic drift.'

First we discover continental drift and now genetic drift. I think that its imperative that we put a stop to both of them. They are destroying the planet as we know it.

Well, that is a polite way to say “kidnapping and rape”

People on the main island part of Iceland have last names in the Scandinavian tradition - father’s first name plus son or dotir as the sex of the person indicates. On the southern offshore islands, they have Irish and Welsh names. Supposedly, the slaves ran away and found refuge there.
