Haplogroup R1a is believed to have originated on the Eurasian Steppes and is now found in western and central Asia, India, and Slavic populations of eastern Europe, but also as far west as Scandinavia and the British Isles.  These are the original "Indo-Europeans" whose cultures and languages were the first to dominate much of Europe; it is the culture that domesticated the horse.  Some argue that only R1a is the true "Viking" haplogroup.
Six members of Danish Demes are R1a; none is closely related to any other.

*Greyed SNPs have merely been deduced; boldfaced SNPs have actually been tested.
Modal haplotypes used below were compiled by Carl-Johan Swärdenheim, Administrator of the Scandinavian Y-DNA Project at FTDNA, and posted by him to the Ysearch database.  For convenience in making comparisons, I extracted those haplotypes and placed them in a table on this page

This individual was tested at Relative Genetics (please scroll to the right to see markers exclusive to RG).  Whit Athey's haplogroup predictor strongly supports his being haplogroup R1a.  His haplotype is rare, with no full match at any level in the Ysearch database (as of 6/09).
Of the four R1a1 modal haplotypes, he most resembles the Eastern European one (GD 6 at 31 markers).

In the FTDNA database, our subject has several dozen full matches at 12 markers and near matches at 25 marker (all in other surnames), but no full matches at 25 or more markers, so his haplotype remains unique.  Likewise at Ysearch, he has at most some near matches at 25 and 37 markers (all in other surnames). 
This individual is not a good match with either the English or Old Norse modal haplotypes, but matches them better than either of the other two.
#N26534 has undergone deep SNP testing at FTDNA, with these results:
P207+ M173+ SRY10831.2- M198+ M124- M343- M56- M157- M87- P98- PK5-
The positive result for P207 proves he is R, and the positive test for M173 proves he is R1.  The negative result for SRY10831.2 is positive proof for being R1a (it's a back mutation). The positive result for M198 proves he is R1a1.  The negative results for M56, M157, M87, P98, and PK5 prove he is not a subclade of R1a1, so he is root/ancestral R1a1*.  The negative result for M343 redundantly proves he is not R1b, and the negative result for M124 redundantly proves he is not R2.

#67908 has an uncommon haplotype.  In the FTDNA database, he has just a few full matches at 12 matches and a few near matches at 25 markers (all in other surnames).  His haplotype remains unique at 25 or more markers.  At 37 markers, he has no matches, at all, at Ysearch.
This individual has been deep SNP tested with these results:
M198+ M157- M56- M64.2- P98- PK5-
The positive result for M198 proves he is R-1a1.  The negative results prove he is not a subclade of R-1a1, so is thus root/ancestral R-1a1*.

-
Our subject is equally distant from the Eastern European and English modal haplotypes.  I arbitrarily show it compared to the former.
This individual has been deep SNP tested with these results:
M198+ M157- M56- M64.2- P98- PK5-
The positive result for M198 proves he is R-1a1.  The negative results prove he is not a subclade of R-1a1, so is thus root/ancestral R-1a1*.

This individual has near matches (GD=1) with three individuals on this page, namely, the JORGENSON, the JACOBSEN, and the LARSEN; however, these three have tested to at least 37 markers, showing they are not related to each other.  To know whether one of these matches is significant for our subject — and not more than one can be — he will have to upgrade to more markers.
   

What constitutes a match?
For 12 markers:  8 or less is a non-relative; 9-10 means only a small chance of a relationship; 11-12 means a possible relationship.
For 25 markers:  20 or less is a non-relative; 21-22 means only a small chance of a relationship; 23-25 means a possible relationship.
For 37 markers:  30 or less is a non-relative; 31-37, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 67 markers:  55 or less is a non-relative; 58-67, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For any test:  0 matching markers, please contact NASA.
