Ancestors dot coming

"Ancestors!" 8 x 10, 140 lb. d'Arches cold press paper

"Where did we come from?" It's an eternal biological and spiritual question for humanity though the ages perhaps.
In ages of crisis like now, perhaps we're more interested in where, or if, we are going. But as a lover of travel and history, I think about my ancestors, those few I know, and the thousands I never heard of.
My dad, oldest son, an aunt, and cousins have spent more time on genealogy than I care to. But the more I learn from them and through Ancestry.com, the stories keep piling up, and the origins keep changing.
First results from Ancestry listed Scandinavia as a major DNA influence. But in the past couple of years that's gradually changed, to where 59 percent of my DNA is England, Wales, Scotland and northwestern Europe...mostly in the what is now the U.K.
I was really interested with the early report however, because that meant Vikings invading the British Isles, which explained a lot about me and my kin, and perhaps our personalities, and our genetic interests, especially travel, and may even our disdain for strict rules?
But at least I know that much of the DNA in Britain is influenced by the DNA of those marauding Vikings.
So today, for fun, especially since my sailing ship painting was so well received, here's another one, some of my ancestor Vikings heading for England with plunder and blood and lust on their minds.
