Im Swedish. I was born and raised in Sweden. In my whole life I NEVER ONCE met a Swedish person who claimed to be related to any famous viking, even though I statistically must know someone. No one ever says things like that, ”I’m related to Ragnar Lodbrok”. Please explain to me how every single American who has Scandinavian ancestry is somehow related to both Harald Bluetooth, Bjorn Ironside, Harald Hardrada or 3 other famous Norse kings? Explain?

Adeln har alltid varit noga att skriva ner vilka som hörde till dem, även på den tiden. Självklart behöver inte allt stämma men jag har varje generation till 1500-talet och andra har forskat om tiden före det. Jag är 30:e generationen från Harald Hårfager.

(By comparison, most Europeans are descended from Charlemagne and most Brits come from Edward III, etc.) The issue is treating this as something significant when it isn't. Oh, you're descended from William the Conqueror? Me too, what of it? And so on.

Where we came from is meaningful to us.I’m American and I find it fun to trace my ancestry. I’m not related to anyone remotely famous. Some of my ancestors could have been born on the wrong side of the blanket, but it isn’t that important. My mother’s family all come from Germany, but I only claim heritage. I don’t consider myself German. BTW - my last name is from the Swiss side that emigrated to the US.
