As a Visigoth descendant, all my respect to Viking descendants, just want to clarified the difference

''According to Jordanes, the Goths originated on an island called Scandza (Scandinavia), from where they emigrated by sea to an area called Gothiscandza under their king Berig.[33] Historians are not in agreement on the authenticity and accuracy of this account.[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] Most scholars agree that Gothic migration from Scandinavia is reflected in the archaeological record,[42] but the evidence is not entirely clear.[1][43][44] Rather than a single mass migration of an entire people, scholars open to hypothetical Scandinavian origins envision a process of gradual migration in the 1st centuries BC and AD, which was probably preceded by long-term contacts and perhaps limited to a few elite clans from Scandinavia.''

They were most likely from Scandinavia though and this is accepted by a large amount of historians, and there isn't much evidence for them emigrating from anywhere else.
