My Mom’s side came from the area east of York. I’ve traced them back to 1600. Maybe there’s some Viking blood in that line, but I think they originated in Saxony.

My Dad’s side came from western Germany along the Rhine River north of Cologne, but my Opa married a Baltic girl from the Danzig area.

Ancestry says I’ve got 8% “Austria, Belarus, Czechia, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine.” DNA and 6% “Sweden & Denmark.” It is correct with “Germanic Europe” and “England and NW Europe” at 68% combined.

East Ridings, lots of Vikings. York started out as a Viking village.
