All Europeans are related if you go back just 1,000 years, scientists say

My family goes back that far in recorded history and I find this to be unlikely.

I don't find it remarkable at all, due to rape, pillage, and plundering, that "genetic chunk" they are discovering was put there by Norsemen to all points of Europe, and perhaps North America as well, just about 1000 years ago.

Just look at the "tour shirt" they would have been able to put together:

Russia
England
Ireland
Iceland
Greenland
Vinland
France
Various modern Slavic states
Grafittied the Mediterranean
And the invited bodyguards of various Byzantine Emperors.

They're all related to me.
