Wrong, it was the Lombards who took over Italy after the fall of the Roman empire, the Norman's showed up later. Fun fact, first time the mohamedians tried to take Medina, the Lombard stomped their ass, and were going to chase them to their homeland and wipe them off the earth, but it was the Norman's who talked them out of it. Soon as the Lombard got tired of running things and allowed Charlemagne to take over, that's when Medina fell.

After further thought and research, I think it ties in with the Germanic migration to the British Isles, since that 'further research' indicated that 1200 years ago there's a strong genetic link to Denmark and Southern Sweden, so yes, those Norsemen really got around and their descendants didn't stay in one place either. There were a couple other interesting things that are really lost in the mists of time, but interesting that a genetic signature still shows up thousands of years later.

I love Germanic people, one of my best friends is a Dane

I know Europeans despise when Americans say "I'm German" or "I'm Norweign" or "I'm British" etc. But it really means a lot to many Americans because it is specifically attached to family. Traditions passed down from our ancestors. When I visited Germany, I looked and dressed so German, Germans thought I was German and only believed I was American when I showed them my ID. But if I say I am German, without seeing me, the concept is laughable to them. The greatest trick played on the Germanic world, was isolating the Germanic diaspora in the Americas from their blood brothers in Europe.

I'm from the region of Molise, the capiital of this Region Campobasso was found by the longobards. In the Molise region (east of Rome) we have one of the highest percentage of I Haplogroup in Italy (province of Campobasso) approx. 15-20 %. I am blond and blue-eyed, my mother is blond with green eyes. My father was blond when he was younger, but has brown eyes. My brother is blond with brown eyes. My grandmother had red hair. Both on the father's side and on the mother's side have almost half light eye color (blue or green) Hair color e1/3 blond 2/3 dark. Blond or blue eyes is nothing unusual for us, but we are a small region with only 300000 inhabitants, so small groups of immigrants have had a large influx. Other villages of Longobard origin in my region: Morrone del Sannio, Santa Maria del Molise, Petrella, Trivento, Larino, Colli al Volturno, Cerro al Volturno, Scapoli, S. Maria Oliveto, Roccamandolfi, Colletorto (my mother is from there), Guardialfiera, Castelgiudice, Civitacampomarano, S.Maritino in Pensilis,, the place Roccamandolfi comes from the Longobard name Mangulf. Longobard countesses in Italy were precisely in Molise until 1100 AD. Civitate sul Fortore (1053). Some say that the conquest of Boiano is linked to the first military campaigns of Robert Guiscard, who penetrated, bypassing the Matese massif, into the Lombard county. The conquered area will be assigned, as is customary, to one of the most valuable knights, Rudolph de Moulins. The latter (1054) signed an important document desired by Guiscard, in favor of the Trinity of Venosa. Rodolfo was succeeded by Guidmondo, perhaps his son, who married Emma d'Eboli. From them will be born Rodolfo II, future count. Of the De Moulins family, later called De Molisio, the best known personage is Hugh I, son of Rudolph II. With him the county of Boiano became an important center controlling a territory that was extended to the east (Toro and San Giovanni in Galdo) while on the other side he also succeeded in annexing the county of Venafro. In 1105 he fought against the Borrello counts, becoming lord of Pietrabbondante and Trivento, the last Lombard counties. Hugh's lands come to encompass a large territory of strategic importance, dependent partly on the duchy of Apulia and partly on the principality of Capua. Typical surnames of longobard origin in my region: Loffreda, Lombardi, Stamberga, Molinaro, Rodolfo, Oddo, Raimondo, Ruggero, Staffoli etc. etc By the way, the Normans brought I haplogroup to Sicily (province of Palermo and Trapani) there are quite a few people with red hair, yes in Sicily.

My paternal haplogroup is I-M170 (23andme stated that 1 out of 300,000 testers have it). My father is African American. The strange thing, though, is that I also got my maternal grandfather to do a test (he's from Dublin,Ireland), and he has the exact same haplogroup. Considering it's so rare, i found it odd that my dad and my maternal grandfather would possess the same haplogroup

Haplogroups are useful for tracing the migrations of people.

Finns don't have "more Finno-Ugric dna than anything else". The Siberian genetic component found in Finns averages roughly 8% and larger contributions exist from the Proto-Balts, Proto-Germanics and the old non-Indo-European natives of the northeastern Baltic region. Also the haplogroup I1 found in Finland has been identified as a unique branch that separated from the rest around 3000 years ago and it along with its subclades are almost exclusively found among Finns (and Sami). It's likely the I1 in Finland is largely not connected to mixing with Germanic speakers and instead they're remnants of the non-Indo-European people who were in the region. These people then mixed and were assimilated with the incoming Uralic speakers carrying the N1 haplogroup. Only 10% or 15% of the I1 in Finland is more closely linked with modern Scandinavians and that portion of I1 in Finland is connected to the Swedish settlement in Finland started during the Middle Ages. And while the Swedish connected I1 is found in the areas Swedes were settled (the western coastal areas), the Finnish I1 is found all around the country. The main thing that makes Finns unique genetically is not the Siberian genes or lack of "European" ones, it's because ancestral Finns experienced a significant population bottleneck around 4000 years ago leading to the lack of genetic diversity.

Personally, I was shocked at how similar the three different DNA tests I did, were. And how accurate it was to the history of my surnames.

Well .. kind of / I1 is a very useful marker of 'germanic' patrilineal dna particularly when looking at low resolutions - people with 'R1b' and 'R1a' were also 'germanic/viking' - however it is not useful to talk about R1b like you can I1 as it is much much broad. As you can be R1b and be basque, Indian, or African or even the Egyptian boy-king Tutankhamun. To be accurate it would need to be R1b1a1a2a1a1 (R-U106). For R1a - R1a1a. With I1 making up a 45% at its peak in scandinavia the remaining patrilineal is R1b1a1a2a1a1 (R-U106) and R1a1a. The culture grew out of the 3 main groups that is how the culture developed - not by I1 in isolation - Scandinavian Hunter Gatherer (SHG) populations were a mix of R1b, I2, R1a and some others. There has never been a population of solely I1 in Scandinavia - the R1b and R1a were always there beside it. So where you see I1 in Europe you can probably double the amount of germanic/viking numbers to account for R1b1a1a2a1a1 and R1a1a.

As far as Viking DNA is concerned, certainly a large proportion would be I1, especially from Sweden. However there would also be large proportions of r1a and r1b (indo European haplogroups)

After his death, his two elder sons and daughter remained in the West with their adherents, the youngest Ernik returned to his grandmothers lands, in what is now Ukraine, and founded Magna Bulgaria. .Attila is not the name of that guy, it's a nick and means 'daddy' (see 'vati' Germ, 'tati' Bulg.) from 'Atta' old Gothic, 'Ata ' Turkic = father. His real name is Avitohol. The original Bulgars (not to be identified with modern Bulgarians) are not Hazars or other Turkic tribe. They are an ancient Korean tribe mixed with Buryats and Tocharians.

I like your videos generally but I feel your disdain for DNA testing needs to be reconsidered with some humility. Looking in the mirror is hardly a scientific test....imagine a child of a 100% Norwegian DNA person who married an Asian or African individual looking in the mirror, I doubt they would figure they were of Viking ancestry. I previously thought I was likely 100% Celtic/Anglo Saxon as I was born in north central England and we could trace back 5 generations in the same general area. Looking the mirror showed blue eyes and red brown hair so made sense. However!!! testing showed almost 25% Norwegian on my maternal side. Big surprise. It turns out that my mother's paternal side (name of Nelson, which could or could not indicate scandi background since also common in Ireland) was actually traceable back after 5 generations to the west coast of Lancashire where there are many towns with Scandinavian names (Ormskirk, Formby, Skelmersdale). I have matched genetically on MyHeritage and other site with many distant cousins from that area and also matched to a number of Norwegians distantly. The most likely explanation historically for my genetic profile is an expulsion of Ingimundr, a Norse viking, from Ireland in 902 who settled north of Chester after agreeing with Queen Athelflaed to not attach that town and being given land for settlement. The local genetics shows the persistence of Norse genes to the present day. Without DNA testing I would never have known this fascinating part to my family ancestry.

Sorry I keep commenting this but can you look into Native American and Viking connections? Heard a lot of the myths match up almost perfectly between each other. Seeing they were there in 1000ad shows there could be real probability of Native American and Vikings interacting and interbreeding

The problem I have with haplogroups is that your Y or mt is such a tiny fragment of your overall lineage. Obviously it may tell you something, but that something can be very misleading if you interpret it as representing all your blood (because it doesn’t).

Yeah. Haplogroups can survive just through random fluctuations in survival and mating where the overall percentage of related DNA to the “original” source population of the haplogroup is tiny. Y-Haplogroups of modern populations are useful, but really need to be considered alongside mt and somatic DNA samples , as well as ancient and medieval samples to build a better picture. Looking simply at Y-haplogroups of modern populations led to a lot of conclusions that turned out to be wrong once more kinds of sampling became possible.

So your problem isn't with haplogroups. Your problem is with how some extremists (very few) interpret it falsely and take it too far. Haplogroups can tell us a lot, and help us a lot in genealogy and understanding population movements. There are tons of haplogroup projects on FamilyTreeDNA for example that do wonders. And my own haplogroup helped shed a light on where my Forest Finn ancestors came from. The more people that get tested, the more we know. Of course you can't take anything at face value. But that's just basic scientific understanding. That whole identity bs with haplogroups is just a tiny fraction of uninformed people that don't know anything about genetics.

Many Saxons also became Frisians because they immigrated to this area after 300 after the population there declined sharply.

You also have to consider the algorithm that the testing company uses when assigning regions, they typically only go back 400-500 years to see how the dominants haplos were distributed at that time. Since you're primarily Germanic, they decided to assign you areas that just might have had a slightly higher percent match on whatever markers that company uses; a different company might use different markers and have a different reference database. My father's results were a similar puzzle, it came back as close to 50% British Isles (what? we're Scottish?) when everything for generations was German; I ultimately attributed it to successful ancestors whose progeny moved all around the Baltic and North Seas, and some of those ancestors were 1000, 2000 or more years ago, yet their genetic signature still shows up today.

I'm brazilian, but I have green eyes, red beard and very pale skin. Unfortunately I cant afford a DNA test right now, but I dont know any brazilian native or african ancestry in my family's history. My father family comes from Netherlands and mainly Portugal. My mother's family (which my phenotype resembles the most) come from Switzerland, Northern Italy (Trento) and Spain. I'm trying to find my path into pagan spirituality and I don't feel right following brazilian african cults as I may not have any family ancestry on it (it just feels disrespectful) but I was born in Brazil, not in europe. From all the countries my family came from, the celtic people were present in the past. Would it be legit to follow a celtic pagan path? Even tho I live in a very different culture?

There are a small group of Normans that were in Sicily and Cypress, but also sporadically throughout Mid to Late Roman Empire (just before and during migration period of 2-9th CE) had several Germanic peoples joing auxiliaries and the military and would have been enough to keep the genes going. Plus just about anywhere recessive genes will pop up. Some Asians are born Naturally redhead due to distant Scithian DNA

Haplogroup I1 is spredaed not only because of the Goths on the Balkans, as there are many sub groups of I1 there, but also due to Saxons migration there druing the late middle ages around 12 century, even later during the Othoman Empire 14-15 century, which continued to setteled them from Transilvania in it's territopry, for minnig iron and precious or non-ferrous metals, such as silver and copper (actually these were saxon miners, or transilvanian saxons) and to contribute that way to it's economy. This cleary could be seen as a 5% I1 path to the Greek Coast on the White Sea, the places where these metals were mined and saxon meniere's settled. But in general, I1 was spread in these territories due to the Slavs migrations, who are actually descendants of the Ostrogoths who lived in Panonia, mixed with some Baltic tribes from the North and Sarmatian tribes from the Caspian and Carpathian regions.

One can have a haplogroup I1 and be black African or Chinese. Y-Haplogroup may show tribe movements, but not so much on a individual ,Funny how I1 is called Germanic when Germans dominant haplogroup is R1b.

Italy case: yes you are right about your assumption but the map in dark blue was a little bit more accurate than the one with group I1. It’s all little bit more east and more south. Frederick Red Beard, legendary Suebi King settled the capital of his kingdom in Andria (Puglia near Brindisi, folks might know the famous octagonal fortress which belonged to him), the kingdom lasted a few centuries while the capital was later moved to Sicily and later ended up in Naples when the kingdom of Naples was built from the ashes of the kingdom of Frederick II Red Beard. Now this kingdom was basically all south part of the boot + Sicily. …Knowing Italian culture, I believe there was a lot of interbreeding between nobles and regular folks… that’s how these light features are still so present in the South, more occasional there than common I would say but still well spread.

Pale eyes were at 100% fixation in Mesolithic Western and Central European hunter gatherers, so finding such anywhere in Europe has little to do with Germanic folk wandering. Blondism is not a specifically Germanic feature, many northern Slavs are blond, as indeed are some Amazigh (Berbers) of North Africa (and some native Australians of the central deserts). The native Canarians, the Guanches, were described by Spanish settlers as blond, as proved by some of their mummies. We have descriptions of Blond (xanthous) and blue/grey eyed (glaucous) ethnic Greeks and Romans from before the Germanic invasions. What you see are clines in population features, there are dark haired, dark eyed Swedes and blond blue eyed Spaniards, but it does not follow that their ancestry was from anywhere other than their native area. We also have descriptions of Viking Age Scandinavians, Egil Skallagrimson was bald, his remaining hair was 'iron grey', his eyes and beard were black and his eyebrows met in the middle. He was definitely a Viking, but not stereotypical in appearance.

The root of the Germanic people and language came from the Kurgan people who were from haplogroup R1A and R1B, which are Indo European.

The majority of Americans with the Vick surname are Hap Q of the variety often found in Iceland and to a lesser extent in Norway with some in other countries like England and in some central Asian tribes like the Kets. We trace our paternal origins to southwest England. We suspect our paternal origins may have a connection to vik as in Viking (said with a short i in Scandinavia not the long i in English). Our Hap Q may also be a result of some ancient mixing of the Vikings with the Kets as part of going viking in the fringes of Asia.

I'm a south slav and I have some Scandinavian DNA, I guess probably the reason is because of the Goths that pretty much influenced also genetically eastern Europe which were originary from Scandinavia

One thing that you don't discuss is Catherine the Great and the Russian Empire. She was Germanic (Prussian) and encouraged Germanic farmers to migrate during her expansion of the Russian Empire in the 1700's. She offered them great incentives to populate and farm newly acquired territories. This may be the explanation that you're looking for as to why places like Ukraine have newer Germanic and/or Scandinavian haplogroups. Her son and grandson didn't have the same affection and took away the rights she granted, causing many Germanic people to pull up stakes and move elsewhere.

It points towards Sweden and Finland, also common in the Neatherlands and Denmark. Ties in with some of the autosomal results too. All in all if you do your geneology, dna testing is a great help.

It makes sense what you said about the people looking different in that area of high density i1 in Scandinavia ...

I can fill in for Sicily! A Norman kingdom was founded there by the house of Hauteville, which lasted from 1061 to 1262. It was a beloved dynasty, which held Palermo as the capital, thus explaining the highest presence of that haplogroup exactly where the Norman court was. People are most amazed at knowing that there are waaaay more blonde blue-eyed Sicilians (roughly 1 out of 3-4 people) than dark-skinned ones (in my experience they are roughly 1 out of 20). We're a beautiful genetic mosaic, comprised of Greeks, North Africans, Normans, Italians, Spanish and much more!

I2 is a bit more complicated than I1. A lot of people will tell you I2 is Baltic or dinaric, but this isn’t exactly true. For example my I21b1 formerly I2a2a snow 6433 is Germanic. If you research the distribution of it, it will be all England, Germany and Sweden.

I1 existed in Europe long before the Germanic immigration. The Germanic tribes were Indo-Europeans, just like the Celts. Both have the same genetic origin and migrated to Europe at relatively the same time!

very interestingly there's a city in Portugal (where im from) with a lot of viking traditions (runes, stones, the boat, blonde, blue eyed people, etc)

The source for this I1 map also has other maps that might be more useful. For example, there is a Germanic Y-DNA map that seems to correspond more closely with what percentage of the DNA in a given region comes from Germanic people versus Celtic or Slavic people. It lists lower Saxony, Germany and other parts of northern Germany, Frisia, and Scandinavia in the 75+% range, which is more useful than the paltry percentages shown in those regions here.

King Roger in Sicily was Norman and brought his relatives and retainers, and later, (1194-1266), the Hohenstaufen dynasty ruled Sicily, with Frederick II (half Swabian half Sicilian) being the most famous (called Stupor Mundi), he brought retainers and soldiers from Swabia and other parts of Germany. After Charles of Anjou took over with French forces, the Rebellion of the Vespers kicked them out soon after and the Sicilians invited the Catalans (Kingdom Aragon) to take possession of the island. Unfortunately the Castilians eventually inherited the island and basically robbed the wealth of the land and fisheries for centuries.

Not sure if anyone pointed this out or not about you describing recessive traits in Italian peoples, but the way Mendelian genetics describes inheritance, its actually very easy to see how recessive traits continue to be passed on in a population. For instance, if you take two parents both of which are carriers of a recessive trait, but don't show it (Aa & Aa), then their children will end up being AA, Aa, Aa, aa. As you can see, 75% will show the dominant traits, but 75% will still carry the recessive genes. Even when only a single parent is a carrier (Aa) and the other parent is not (AA), you wind up with AA, Aa, AA, Aa, where 50% of the children end up with a recessive trait even though 0% show the expression of that trait.

The area in Southern France might be left over from the Visigothic kingdom of Toulouse, before the Franks kicked them out of Gaul and left them with Spain. The area east of Rome could be from the southern branch of the Lombards - Benevento, I believe. The Lombard took over much of Italy except for coastal cities. Once the Romans (Byzantines) reestablished a land connection between Rome and Ravenna the Dukes of Spoleto and Benevento seemed content to be separated from the Lombard king in Northern Italy - They like the fact that they didn't have to pay him taxes and take his orders much. Sicily's spot I believe was the Norman conquest of Sicily during the middle ages. Northwest Spain appears to be where the Suivi settled after moving through Gaul, I believe in the early 400s.

West coast Swedes and Norwegians came from Croatia originally. They are the megalith builder that have put their marks all along the European coast. East coast Swedes are the Yamnaya descendants. As you stated it's easy to see the difference. The Croatian type is more blond and they have a more square jaw and flat forehead. Example is the Swedish wrestler Frank Andersson. The East coast Swedes are darker and haven't square jaws and often a more sloping forehead. Example my picture. Then we have some ancient minorities as the Same, Finnish and Khazars. The slave trade also brought slavic traits to Scandinavia. Our Swedish Royal family is of mostly Khazar origin as is many "nobel" families all over Europe due to the Habsburgs.

As far as the Hapligroup I along the Volga and Eastern Europe, keep in mind that the Mongols did a pretty good job of decimating the population, which was then backfilled by settlers from other areas after the Mongols left.

The Viking raids went up the rivers in France. These included the Seine, the Loire, and the Garonne Rivers among other tributaries. The Normans picked up from there. The Norman lion is featured on many of the provincial crests of these valleys onto the Massif Central. That explains the DNA. R1B was the major Y haplogroup of the Germano-Celts.
