I'm sure that if you could trace your ancestry far enough back,mg, you would find some Scandinavians.

Consider the geology of it. In the last Ice Age, the British Isles were covered by hundreds of feet of ice. About 14,000 years ago, it was gone. Humans had to repopulate the islands from mainland Europe. Scandinavia was no doubt a stopover on the way.

So enjoy your rosemaling and hardanger fiddle. Wonderful things, both of them.
