This project is a meeting place for users who share the I-M253 Y-DNA haplogroup, which means they are related along their paternal lines. Users in this group may want to share their family trees with each other to find overlaps and merge duplicate profiles in order to join or expand the World Family Tree and discover new relatives.
Defining Mutations

Origin
According to a study published in 2010, I-M253 originated between 3,170 and 5,000 years ago, in Chalcolithic Europe
----------------------------
Some were Norsemen however --Haplogroup I1, as well as subclades of R1b such as R1b-U106 and subclades of R1a such as R1a-Z284, are strongly associated with Germanic peoples and are linked to the proto-Germanic speakers of the Nordic Bronze Age.
THE WORD VIKING
The word "Viking" is commonly used today by many scholars and the general population to describe the late Iron Age Scandinavians who lived in the historical period known as the Viking Age.
Language and definition changes with time, but even so, it is vital to understand the original meaning of the word.
What is a Viking? Is it a nationality? Is it a genetical bloodline? Or is it just an activity some Scandinavians participated in?
s it a an activity, a term or a name?
It is actually all of the above, which is evident on Viking Age runestones here in Sweden.
Going “in Viking”- an activity
In Härlingtorp in Västergötland, a mother raised a runestone over her son. "...he died on the western roads in Viking" (...Sá varð dauðr a vestrvegum i vikingu.Vg 61). The inscription provides evidence that a man traveled in Viking, which is also shown by a stone in Skåne where a man "died north in Viking". (…er norðr várð dauðr í víkingu. DR 334).
Being a Viking – a profession and a noun
On a Gotland runestone, two brothers have erected a stone over their father who "had gone west with Vikings". (...He was [v]est farinn með vikingum. G 370). Apparently, this man was not considered a Viking, but he accompanied Vikings.
In Bro in Uppland, a woman has erected a stone over her father who "was a land defender against Vikings". (aR var vikinga vorðr. U 617) Here it is meant that Vikings were something to guard against.
Being called Viking - a person's name
Viking as a personal name is engraved on about twenty runestones.
Sigurd Jorsalafari 14
At the beginning of the 12th century, the Norwegian king Sigurd Jorsalafari (Jerusalem traveler) traveled south on a crusade. Outside of Spain he fought against "Vikings" which turned out to be Muslim Moors who had conquered the Iberian Peninsula.
--- From Landnamsboken (Icelandic story describing the population of Iceland): 11
But when he (Harald Fairhair)
turned back from the west,
he met vikings on the islands,
both Scottish and Irish,
which ravaged and robbed everywhere.
En er hann (Haraldr inn hárfagri)
fór vestan
slógust í eyjarnar víkingar
ok Skotar ok Írar ok
herjuðu ok ræntu víða.
