So when I run various calculators on the Oracle, there seems to be a consistent Scandinavian element in my results despite the fact that I don't have much in the way of Scandinavian ancestry. My father is Scottish and English with distant Dutch (18th century and back and only one line with a major Dutch element in the 18th century) and my mother is mostly Irish with with a smaller input of German, from the Rhineland and Prussia. I think I have one Norwegian ancestor from the 1600s, one Danish from the 1600s, and perhaps one Swedish in the early 1700s. Here is some of my results I am speaking of:

So is this Viking ancestry? Perhaps the distant Dutch/German in my tree? A combo of the two? Something else?
