It makes sense because Ielandic people are a mix of Scandinavians and Celts. See my thread:

Borreby?

Why is she acting shocked? This was well known and documented, what do they think happened to the Papar? Icelanders didn't just sprite out of their dirt, many of those Pictish & Gaelic wives were taken to Norway as well.

About what I would expect as Icelanders are a mix of Scandinavian and British Isles (Irish/Scottish).
The Finnish is interesting. Assuming it's more than noise, it might have something to do with this:

that is actually entirely expected for iceland, the men who settled there took scottish, and irish women with them, ans some vikings had distant sami, or finnic ancestry. Completely normal for Iceland. In fact if it said 100% I would be suprised

[Ruggery]

That result for me is not strange, in fact I think it is the most common, the Icelanders are made up of Scandinavian Vikings (Norwegians, Swedes, Danes and a little Finns) and Celtic slaves (Irish and Scottish)
I would be more surprised if Iberian, French, German or Polish elements came out in the result.

When you realize you have more Finnish than her and you're not even Scandinavian :picard1:
(sorry for ressurecting this thread, just saw it in my old posts.)
