The “Viking Index” indicates your own relationship to the ancient people of Scandinavia who lived 1,000 years ago, and spread out across the world in a series of migrations and raids. Our index is generated using ancient DNA from the period of the Vikings, and measures the genetic differences between you, and these people who died more than 1,000 years ago in Sweden.

If you are 100% Viking that means you are genetically the same as the ancient people, though the reality is that because of migration into Scandinavia since the Viking period very few people hit this metric.

The “Viking index” measures not only the relationship to these ancient people, but reflects the reality that peoples have mixed and merged since the Viking Age. Modern Scandinavians descend mostly of these people, but also have ancestry from all the groups the Vikings interacted with. (Source: https://genomelink.io/)

According to the Index, our Leagans lineage is genetically similar to the following regions (in order):

1. Scandinavian Vikings

2. British Vikings

3. Slavic Vikings

4. Finnish Vikings
