Mcdowell is Scotch and Irish and refers to someone of Danish ancestry living in Scotland and Ireland. You're part Viking, Wolfdog91.

Ireland was settled in 4 waves. Modern Irish and Scottish people are mostly out the Milesians and the Vikings. The first populations of Ireland and Scotland were absorbed by the later conquerors. The Milesians from Spain, led by Heremon and Heber settled Ireland first and then shortly thereafter Scotland and a little later parts of England. They were Celts from Spain. The Milesian men in Scotland were given Tuatha De Danann wives by the Milesians in Ireland. Milesius himself never set foot in Ireland. Scotland is named for Scota, Milesius's wife, who was the daughter of one of the Egyptian Pharaohs.

I have lots of Scotch and Irish genetics, most, but not all is from the Vikings, though my pedigree goes back to Milesius and beyond.

Tangled web of scots-Irish here. Mostly from Ayrshire(SW Scotland), all seemingly from the wrong side of the tracks.

Ireland is Gaelic-the gaels are a cultural branch of the celts,with their own language(gaelic) The gaels spread to scotland from Ireland.Scots and irish are like cousins.
The norse settlements around the coast of Ireland were absorbed into irish culture.

Would love to see that pedigree. T.W.N.A.O. T-man, your only talking about approx. 800 years.my people were there 400 yrs ago. Guess I'll have to Google it myself. Thanks for the history.

And look now, your in North America. You guys get around.

.....so should I change my YouTube channel name to the black viking ? hay that would be a cool movie premise

John O'Hart traced the pedigrees of the major Irish families.

You may be able to trace your family back far enough on www.familysearch.org to link into his work.

Some of O'Hart's recorded pedigrees go all the way to Adam & Eve. Mine does. I suspect that some of the older parts of the pedigrees are questionable, though they are based on the bible and other well respected works.

OK, works for me. Thanks

Why not. You have as much right to claim your true Viking heritage as anyone else of true Viking heritage. It is part of what makes you, you.

Most folks would be shocked to know the full history of the Celts and just how far they ranged through Europe.

Interesting tibit, you know the book of the Bible Galatians? The root of Galatians is the same root as Gael. The galations were a celtic tribe in Eastern Anatolia, modern day Turkey.

BTW, my own clan MacLeod is one of the Norse clans of the western isles. Our patrinimic progenitor Leoid was a norseman and Leoid is a transliteration of the Norse name Ljotr. Ljotr means ugly (as in fierce) so I am literally David son of ugly.
