So since Edmund Rice's DYS 462 is 13, his I1a ancestry is not Norse? Does
that mean that it's Anglo Saxon, or only that it is not Norse?

What do 14/23/14-14 and 14/23/14-15, and (14/22), refer to?

But the last paragraph below seems to say the opposite; that DYS 462 = 13
is Norse, and DYS 462 = 12 is Anglo Saxon.

And what about Danish Vikings - would they resemble Anglo Saxons?

What is Super Norse? Very large Viking?
