Genetic markers move through populations and through space with time. Migration does not negate origin conclusions, it is part of the package.

Right, but it depends on how you define "origin". Saying someone's origin is Scandinavian is misleading, because that implies that only people from that part of the world could have those markers/haplotype, which is simply wrong. Also, we're all just mutated Africans anyway... so it also depends exactly how far back you want to go, when you say "origin".
