About the test
Do you have a family tradition related to your Viking origins? Did you ever want to be part of a great saga? Do you want to know the first Europeans who landed in North America and knew the Kings Haakon IV and Frederick III?
This test combines four tests available on our website for the Vikings of Iceland, Ireland and the Isle of Man, England and Wales, and Scotland.
We obtained the DNA of 65 ancient Vikings from 37 sites throughout Iceland, Ireland, England, Wales, and Scotland. Overall, this test includes 65 Vikings who lived for a millennium, between 664 and 1691 AD. The test provides a detailed history of Icelandic Vikings from Medieval times, their haplogroup breakdown, and their history of encounters with other people and summarizes the evidence as to their whereabouts. The test includes a detailed historical, archeological, and paleogenetic background on the Icelandic Vikings, including how they lived, their cultic practices and mysticism, their treatment of others, and their deeds. A detailed profile is available for every Viking.

Why take this test
Up until 2010, reading the DNA of ancient people was a dream. Since then, the DNA of the Neanderthal who lived over 30,000 years ago has been sequenced. After that reading, the DNA of ancient people who lived from 15,000 BC to 1,800 AD all over the world became the main object of paleogenomic research. This forward leap in technology allowed the creation of a new type of DNA tests — tests that do not use modern-day populations as stand-ins for the ancient tribes but rather go right to the source and study these ancient peoples themselves.
The Ancient DNA Origins DNA test is the first next-generation DNA test. It is designed solely using the DNA of ancient people throughout history using our novel technologies.
With this test, you will receive a precise ancient ethnicity estimate with far greater geographical details than you could imagine. You will make new connections with historical people and places where your ancestors lived, walked, battled, created, and dreamed thousands of years ago. Using the genetic data and evidence from history and archeology, we can revive the past and allow you to take part in this story at the most personal level.
