The Langland name came from a farm near Voss, Norway. However, the y-haplotype is G2, which came from the northernmost persian outpost in the Caucasus, in pre-Roman and Roman times, making it's way to Norway through Turkey, the Mediterranean, and France, Switzerland, Germany and the low countries, to Denmark, and across to Norway. Since coming to America, it has traveled to the West Coast, with travels to SE Asia (not fruitfully) and back. I have just started writing a book about it.
