My family claims descendants from Eric the Red and his son Leif Ericson.
We all know the Vikings were in North America, the rune stones prove that. They were wiped out or assimilated into the Indians after the weather got too cold in the 1300's and Greenland was abandoned. With no more Greenland, the shipping lanes were gone.
