Hi,
Reading the posts this am, I ran accross this:

"R1b is NOT "European", it is "western European peninsula",
that is, Denmark to Italy and west. Not Scandinavia, nor
points east, which are variously dominated by I, N, or R1a.

Doug McDonald"

Now I want to ask questions.. but first must input..

William I, King of England 1066, was from Normandy, His heritage is vikings
out of Denmark, (There is a proven paper trail lineage).

Could this mean some R1b's in England could be of the R1b group in/from
Denmark/Normandy? (not saying related to William, but from the group he
brought with him?)

If this is to simple, can you give me a reason why/ opinion?

Nelda
