Thanks for that. I'm interested in Icelanders because they have some Irish ancestry.

Using that kit here is their population mix on Eurogenes K13. Interesting that they get the same two population mix as myself on the K13. I also get North Dutch as my no 1 pop but Irish as 2nd. On the K15 my no 1 pop is Ireland and this kit gets Ireland as No 1 as well.

Anyway I won't go through the other calcs but was just interested in the similarity. So this Icelander gets very similar results to myself.

There is a study coming out on Icelanders hopefully this year. Anyway thanks Leto as I've never seen an Icelander's Gedmatch results previously.

He's closer to Irish and Scots than even Swedes or Norwegians. So I wouldn't necessarily say that the Icelandic results above indicate a Celtic input.

But it is well known from other studies that Icelanders have Celtic input:

Also the "Book of Settlements" and the "Book of Icelanders" mention Celts:

That's haplogroups though. You would think Icelanders are half Irish half Scandinavian going by that. Icelanders plot closest to Danes, south Swedes and North Dutch. Also modern day Irish and other Brits have a decent amount of Norse ancestry.

Yes I know there might be older affinity between these populations but I thought everyone was aware that Vikings took Irish and Scots women back with them to Iceland. This is mentioned in the Icelandic sagas about Irish female slaves.

There are also studies done on the mtdna of the Icelanders which trace a large amount of the mtdna to Ireland and the Scottish Isles.

A major task in human genetics is to understand the nature of the evolutionary processes that have shaped the gene pools of contemporary populations. Ancient DNA studies have great potential to shed light on the evolution of populations because they provide the opportunity to sample from the same population at different points in time. Here, we show that a sample of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequences from 68 early medieval Icelandic skeletal remains is more closely related to sequences from contemporary inhabitants of Scotland, Ireland, and Scandinavia than to those from the modern Icelandic population. Due to a faster rate of genetic drift in the Icelandic mtDNA pool during the last 1,100 years, the sequences carried by the first settlers were better preserved in their ancestral gene pools than among their descendants in Iceland. These results demonstrate the inferential power gained in ancient DNA studies through the application of population genetics analyses to relatively large samples

The Icelanders are one of the most studied populations in human genetics [1]–[5]. According to historical and archaeological sources, Iceland was settled roughly 1100 years ago by a mixture of people that originated primarily from Scandinavia and the British Isles [6],[7]. Studies of mtDNA variation indicate that contemporary Icelanders trace about 37% of their matrilineal ancestry to Scandinavia, with the remainder coming from the populations of Scotland and Ireland [1],[8],[9]. In contrast, Y-chromosome analyses suggest that 75–80% of their patrilineal ancestry originated in Scandinavia [3],[9].

Ofc, but I think it's a bit exaggerated.
