Norwegian DNA?

Like many people of British ancestry maybe you have a small Norwegian ethnicity estimate in your AncestryDNA results.  For me it's  3% with a range of 0—6%. 

If in your case it's a larger amount, perhaps your Norwegian ancestry is not so far back, there are new databases online.

On MyHeritage find Norway Church Records, 1815-1938 with 42,248,250 records.

Is it a coincidence that Ancestry has a database Norway, Church Records, 1812-1934 with 41,391,903 records?

I'm wondering if this might have been a cooperative project between the companies.

  1. I have 3% Norwegian and 4% Swedish. I'm not surprised about the Swedish. My great-great-grandfather was born in Sweden and married in England.
