DNA question

[Asa]

I'll admit I have a very poor understanding of both DNA testing and DNA itself. Since the updated DNA information on Ancestry, I've found the results quite well reflect the research I've done and/or the likelihoods. The exception is that I have 6% DNA (1-11% range) described as Norway. Is this likely to indicate that I have a great great grandparent from that area?


I know the identities of all my great great grandparents with the exception of one and I've shared DNA with descendants of many of these. The missing great great grandparent is the father of my great grandfather, who was born in 1876 in Perth, the illegitimate son of a weaver who was born, died and lived most of her life in Dundee. Looking at the census for Dundee 1871 and 1881 (on Ancestry rather than SP) there are a few Norway born men on each, I think all sailors or associated trades.


Clearly, it is something that would be hard to prove unless something pops up in the future but is this likely or a fanciful leap?
