The Vikings presence in Ireland was from around 795AD to 1000AD. So well over 1000 years ago. Most genealogical DNA tests don’t go back that far, or anywhere near it. Just a few generations really. If you have some DNA from that part of Europe it probably comes from some other much more recent connection. But these ethnicity tests are about as reliable as a horoscope. Take it as a bit of fun.
