@caitlinrgreen Many thanks, great map really,it shows so massive Vikings settlement in Lincolnshire, does this fact reflect in family names?
@Archatgs Not so much, but family names date from much later than the Viking era
@caitlinrgreen I don't believe suffix -son in the surnames indicates Viking origin, I trust family oral traditions not modern explanation
@caitlinrgreen there some people says that suffix -son high in NE England because Vikings settlement. but I don't think so, bc Mac/Mc is >
@caitlinrgreen >the Scottish equivalent, and Fitz in Ireland, there are equivalents to it in many languages & cultures.
@Archatgs it reflects some aspect of linguistic inheritance though, eg P & Q Celtic/map & mac etc, no?
@Archatgs I wouldn't use modern surnames to prove anything about Viking era & most ppl in Britain have no family traditions that far back :)
@caitlinrgreen I know you depend on archaeological evidences, old writings and oral traditions & you accept only DNA tests of old skeletons,
@Archatgs (on DNA, I think modern DNA is interesting but can be over-valued by ppl; it's just another poss source w/ its own signif issues)
@caitlinrgreen I agree you Caitlin,& I think they build on modern DNA results some wrong conclusions, other sources still has the upper hand
