Yes I'm aware of that. That's why I mentioned that the ones in Ireland were Norse but because the ones in Orkney are of mostly local origin you make the conclusion that the Norwegians have British/Irish admixture from this but draw different conclusions for Ireland even though the Vikings there were Norse. It just sounds a bit like jumping to conclusions without enough information. There isn't even a good study done on Norwegians and as we both agree these studies should now be done looking at ancient genomes and not using modern populations.
Just because ydna is large in an area doesn't mean it originated there. I'm absolutely certain that L21 didn't orginate in Britain. It is too old and too widespread. Mark my words. There's a study coming out on France next year and I bet there will be plenty of L21.
