Is it possible to have a sticker for people with Nordic roots (as opposed to adding stickers for each country)?

Question

All of my Nordic ancestors (that I've found so far) are from around the Viking Age. I don't want to incorrectly claim Norwegian or Swedish heritage if I don't have it, however I'd like to display a profile sticker showing that I have Nordic heritage (even if it is distant).

Answer 1

A user of the name LaPlante (I forget her first name, whoops) shared this image with me when I asked her about it. If you can locate which user it is she may let you use the same image for your profile template.

Here it is: {{Heritage Sticker|ancestors=Scandinavian|image=The_LaPlante_Files-14.png}}

Have a nice day

Comments

The image page is here, so Patty LaPlante is the person to ask.

What a peculiar flag! I don’t mean to sound harsh, but speaking as a Scandinavian, I would never use it.

It's from Wikimedia Commons under a Creative Commons license. Made by a Swede...

Speaking of flags from Wikipedia Commons, I can’t find the Scanian Flag, which was officially adopted by the region as of 9 February 1999, among the Swedish regional flags: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Swedish_Regional_Flags 

Can it be added?

I think you'll find something to suit in the [[Roots Sticker]] section of a Nordic Project page. If you're looking for something else, the Heritage Sticker that William gave coding for is very flexible. See [[Template: Heritage Sticker]].

See [[Category: Heritage Stickers]] for a selection of stickers (including "roots" stickers). See also [[Space: Relationship Stickers]], which includes a [[Need Images?]] section.

I find your question interesting, and not just because of the Viking era before the existence of modern countries. My grandmother was born on an island on the west coast of Sweden. So she's Swedish. However, it's a narrow and not entirely accurate description of her historical roots, even though her ancestry is statically tied to that island. Her ancestors have lived on that island for well over 500 years. In the 1600's it was transferred to Sweden. But before that, it was ruled by Norway/Denmark, and the folks on the island still spoke Norwegian until the 1800's. A very distant great uncle from there was even Chancellor of Norway. In historical times, when people moved to the island they came from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. On DNA tests, we show more connection to Norway than Sweden. So for that south Norway/west coast Sweden/Denmark area, just saying Nordic is more true than trying to pick a country.
