Some of my ancestors were Vikings, were Norse seafarers, mainly speaking the Old Norse language
What time period are the vikings from.
The late 11th century, It is also known as the Viking Age
Are any traditions from that time still practiced today?
Well they are famous for their long ships  they used them to cross the mediterranean.
That must have taken a really long time to go that far in those kinds of ships.
If I recall, xploration, expansion and settlement, Viking (Norse) communities and polities were established in diverse areas of north-western Europe
The life of a viking must have been a grueling one.
Agreed they have a huge place in early medieval history
I don't know if I would ever have been able to do it myself.
