History goes way back:
Maybe not that far.
for now!
The original population of Iceland was of Nordic and Gaelic origin. This is evident from literary evidence dating from the settlement period as well as from later scientific studies such as blood type and genetic analyses. One such genetic study indicated that the majority of the male settlers were of Nordic origin while the majority of the women were of Gaelic origin, meaning many settlers of Iceland were Norsemen who brought Gaelic slaves with them.
The island setting is expected to have preserved genetic make-up of original population. What will the Icelandic y-DNA and mtDNA results reveal.
And what was their blood type frequency chart saying again?
Their relatively low 15% rh- isn’t what stands out, but their 56% O.
Let’s correct this:
The low rh negative blood type frequencies are what stand out considering mixing with Celtic women would have made the percentages far higher.
Could it be that the Vikings have been very low in rh negative blood?
Absolutely!

That actually surprises me, I assumed the Vikings would have a high concentration of rh negative.
I have O negative blood. My DNA analysis from Ancestry.com indicates I have Scandinavian, England, Ireland, Scotland (including the north islands) and Iceland DNA. I also have what is know as “Viking Disease”. It is a condition which causes a know on the palms of the hand. It has a scientific name but it is commonly know as “Viking Disease”. It is non malignant and is a genetic mutation. I have not have had it removed as it presents with no problems.
I have Dupuytren’s Disease too, known as Viking’s Disease. I have A Negative Blood. Therefore, I too was wondering why type of blood the Vikings had, Negative or Positive?
I am positive and have Dupuytren’s disease and my father was the same. The Viking ancestors mixed with many ethnic groups throughout history and travelled all over in Europe. When I did the research on Dupuytren disease I found that the high percentage of Eastern Europeans, mainly males, have the disease. Of course females can have too I am one of the examples.
Me and all of my family are 0 negative. My dad, brother, and myself have DD as well.
very interesting as i have the same condition with scandiavian,german, italian, english, and american indian blood line
Swedish Norwegian, o negative, both sides.
Forgot to mention family inhabited many islands in Norway all the way back until ancestry is unknown. Vikings disease runs in family.
I have A rhesus negative blood type and i have never made the ADN Test I am from north africa . Since last year i noticed that i had the same desease as my grandmother which is called dupuytren desease
My mother has O Rhesus Negative blood, Pagets disease of the bone and was diagnosed with Dupuytren’s contracture(Vikings disease) this year at 67yrs of age. Since non of these genetic traits run in her family, I’m doing online research which it me here. Im looking foward to doing genetic test next. Thanks for posting this information. Btw, did I mention my mother is biracial who never met her father nor knows anything about him or his family…
I am o- and had Pagets disease of the vulva. at about 50 yrs. old, 2 operations and rebuilding of 4×9 exsized area.I have low blood pressure, low body tmp. I have Viking Heritage red hair and freckles. i am 77 years old. i also have some Jewish heritage way back. My mother had AB- and lived to be 98. I hope some of this was valuable to you.
rh neg mothers are given two mercury containing rhogam vaccines during pregnancy. Many pathogenic effects. There is a natural cloaking mechanism for fetus of rh status – only if there is immune dysfunction does it not work and end in hydrops.
Not completely true. The mother only has to it the father has a certain blood type because the two don’t mix
I’m A- and I do not have any of the diseases that the above people had mentioned . My haplogroup is K, 54% Swedish and 39.8 % Northern European.
The Vikings were one of the most mobile population in human history , as they sailed to almost all part of Europe , as far South as North Africa an as far East as Iran.
The Vikings reached Labrador also, well before Columbus reached the New World.
It’s called Anti-D injections in the UK. In my 77 years of life, I’ve had ten pregnancies, three of which were twins. Thirteen new lives in total. I’ve lost six babies in the womb. And one by still birth, that’s seven dead, and birthed and raised six to adult life. Ages now, 59, 58, 56, 54, 53, 39 (today). I’ve had the Rhesus-D jabs with all pregnancies, and as well as faulty vaccine released in1969, and a bad reaction to vaccine in 1984 by my youngest child, all my six were damaged by those Rhesus-D shots. All have displayed autistic behaviours throughout life. Please don’t pretend to know these jabs and their resulting damage better than this old fart who’s lived though it a lifetime! Whose children were the 1960s guinea pigs. Because of resulting confusing and upsetting behaviours of them all, and because my love is Unconditional, I’ve spent a lifetime researching it, and shed more tears over it, than it would take to fill an ocean. My old heart lies broken into pieces round my feet. I have none of the conditions mentioned here. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis throughout my body since 1968 and 1985 respectively. Various other health issues like gall bladder, hiatus hernia and asthma, and the last four years, heart failure, with serious fatigue, breathlessness and tiredness. I can never take meds for help to breath, relieve pain, only aspirin gas ever worked on me. It’s kept me alive since 1995 when l was given six months to live because of health issues. I’ve had paranormal events daily lifelong but no mental health problems ever. And l’ve let them test three times on this. Though lord knows, l should have, considering the agony of it all. It’s taken me a lifetime to find answers, so don’t do what l’ve had to do, spend your lives diverted by it all looking for answers. We had no tests, no proofs, no pioneering background on the Rhesus Negative factor, we had to be the ones to force issues till they found answers for us, and still, they’re no nearer knowing why, we Negatives exist, or where we inherit from. What we are not, is nature’s mistake, we are different, from somewhere else, it’s that simple. And no one will persuade me otherwise. My Mediumistic skills afford me this, and they are never wrong. Not once in my entire 77 years.
