My maternal side was primarily English and Scottish.
The family roots were traced to England and then
back to Normandy in France. Recently I came upon
the ancestral home areas in Denmark, being the
English Normans and Viking roots, and the latter
(Scottish) - the roots in Norway......When the
Vikings "settled" in Seine - Infenriene, Normandy,
France - my ancestors were amongst many who left
there to "settle" in England (in 1106).
My paternal great-grandfather,
Magnus Wheelwright,
always maintained that he was of Viking descent.
My research in university libraries led me to more
and more information about Viking settlements in Maine.
Curious, I started serious research into Viking
myths and legends - and found some incredible news.
The myths and legends were based upon fact!
You will not find this information anywhere else
on the net. Much of the resources I found have not
been published anywhere. No one in academia wants
to believe, or promulgate these findnings.
