The Polish princely House of Lubomirski appears to belong to haplogroup J2b2a-L283 > Z585 > Z628 > Y15058 (aka CTS3617) according to the testing of a member of the family (reportedly Ladislas Jean Lubomirski, father of the photographer Alexi Lubomirski) at Family Tree DNA. Their son was Alexander Gordon, 1st Earl of Huntly (d. 1470), whose patrilineal line was therefore Seton/Seaton and not the original Gordon lineage, was the progenitor of all the subsequent chiefs of clan. The article explains that 6 million Japanese men (10% of the male population of Japan) carry the same Y-DNA lineage as the Imperial family and that they share a common ancestor about 1000 years ago. Quite a few ancient Mediterranean and Middle Eastern civilisations flourished in territories where J2 lineages were preponderant. It is very likely that J2a, J1-Z1828, L1b, T1a-P77 and G2a-L293 were the dominant male lineages the Early Bronze Age Kura-Araxes culture (3,400-2,000 BCE), which expanded from the South Caucasus to eastern Anatolia, northern Mesopotamia and the western Iran. In 2003, an Oxford University scientist traced the Y-chromosome signature of Somerled of Argyll (1100-1164), a military and political leader of the Scottish Isles of Norse-Gaelic descent. Our paternal ancestors will also have the same signature. Paulus Van Haren Kster (1644-1708) from Dsseldorf, Germany.

He is the nephew of screenwriter, film director and producer Francis Ford Coppola, who shares the same haplogroup. [17], In December 2012, a genetic study conducted by the same researchers who decoded King Tutankhamun's DNA predicted using an STR-predictor that Ramesses III, second pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt and considered to be the last great New Kingdom regent to wield any substantial authority over Egypt, belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup E-M2, alternatively known as haplogroup E1b1a. [9][10], The last tsar of Russia, Nicholas II of Russia, was assigned to mtDNA haplogroup T, based on mutations 16126C, 16169Y, 16294T, 16296T, 73G, 263G, and 315.1C. William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898), a British Liberal politician who served a record four times as Prime Minister under Queen Victoria, belonged to R1b-L21 based on a comparison of his genealogy with the results from Gladstone DNA Project. This, combined to the fact that they speak a language descended from Latin, suggests that they could have a greater part of Roman (or at least Italian) ancestry than other ethnic groups in the Balkans. Clan Gregor (or McGregor) is a Highland Scottish clan that claims an origin in the early 800s. However, testing on some of his supposed relatives show he might have belonged to haplogroup R-U106 (a subclade of R1b). Grard Lucotte et al.

A few much younger clades are also found in western India and Pakistan, such as L534 (TMRCA 2,800 ybp) and YSC246 (TMRCA 1,750 ybp) and would have come to India in historical times, for example with the Mughals. The Lindsays have possessed the title of Earl of Crawford since 1398 (one of the most ancient extant titles in Great Britain), then also of Earl of Lindsay since 1633 and Earl of Balcarres since 1651. There is a distinct association of ancient J2 civilisations with bull worship. The only ma. The Clan Graham DNA Project identified the ancestral Graham lineage as belonging to J1a-P58 > [] > YSC234 > L858 > YSC76 > Y3442 > FGC8223 > BY65 > ZS1541 > L1253 (aka Z18183), a clade that formed about 800 years ago. They were supposedly descended from Robert Wright of Brook Hall, Essex, England, which allowed the Wright Surname DNA Project to isolate their paternal lineage. Clan Bruce is a Lowlands Scottish clan, which was a Royal House in the 14th century, producing two kings of Scotland (Robert the Bruce and David II of Scotland), and a disputed High King of Ireland, Edward Bruce. Though both are American citizens, their patrilineal ancestors are respectively Scottish and German. Oxen were used to draw wheeled carts and camels were domesticated in this region c. 2500 BCE, just before the start of this civilization. A large percentage have also done the BigY700 or SNP (mutation) testing to identify their exact branch under L26. 1926), an English broadcaster and naturalist at the BBC explained in the Tree of Life how the Attenboroughs belonged to haplogroup E1b1b1. 1939) desends from an illegitimate branch of King Robert III of Scotland, the Stewarts of Blackhall & Ardgowan.

Both J2b1 and J2b2-L283 are also found at high frequency in Greece and in regions that used to be part of the ancient Greek world (Ionia, Magna Graecia). Faulkner is one of the most celebrated writers in American literature generally and Southern literature specifically. [25], Albert Einstein is alleged to belong to Y Haplogroup E.[40][41] Tested Einsteins from Germany belong to E1b1b1b2* (cluster SNP PF1952, formerly known as the E-Z830-B or "Jewish cluster"). The current Princes of Monaco descend from the House of Polignac. Citing Family Tree DNA's own data that shows that more than 9% of the German and Austrian population belong to E-M35, and that about 80% of these are not Jewish, Hammer concluded, "[t]his data clearly shows that just because one person belongs to the branch of the Y-chromosome referred to as haplogroup E1b1b, that does not mean the person is likely to be of Jewish ancestry."[54]. 1987) belongs to I2-PH908 (downstream of L147.2 and S17250). 1963), an actor, producer, musician, comedian and singer, famous for his roles as Blackie Parrish on the ABC television series General Hospital, and Jesse Katsopolis in the sitcoms Full House and its sequel Fuller House, and in Grandfathered.

They became the ancestors of a number of kuge (court aristocrat) families like the Ichij, Nij, Konoe, Kuj, Saionji and Takatsukasa, as well as of samurai clans, such as the Adachi, Ashikaga (Fujiwara), Azai, Date, Gam, Honda, Ii, It, Katakura, Kikkawa, Nabeshima, Niwa, Ryzji, Shni, Tsugaru, Uesugi and Utsunomiya, among many others. In this article, Sax states that the methods by which the DNA samples were taken from Hitler's relatives in this study would be disqualified from a reputable journal. The Harvey Y-DNA Genetic Project managed to retrace the ancestry and identify the Y-chromosomal haplogroup of William Harvey (1578 -1657), the first person to describe completely and in detail the systemic circulation and properties of blood being pumped to the body by the heart. John Harvey Kellogg (1852-1943) and his brother Will Keith Kellogg (1860-1951), the inventors of the corn flakes and founders of the Kellog's breakfast cereal brand, belonged to I1-Z58 > Z138 > S2293 > S6277 > Y16450 > A14623 based on relative testing.

This region corresponds to the BactriaMargiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC), also known as the Oxus civilization, which flourished between 2300 and 1700 BCE. All shared very close STR values, proving beyond reasonable doubt that they shared a same recent patrilineal ancestor. J M172 - J2 Y-DNA. Two main subclades divide haplogroup J2: J2a (M410, L152, L212/PF4988, L559/PF4986) and J2b (M12, M102, M221, M314). This Z628 clade is also found in India, Armenia and the Levant, among others. Their mtDNA haplogroup was assessed as M1a1. 1957) a former American television news anchor. This is the strongest evidence that J2b actually originated in the mountains of the Zagros or the Caucasus, rather than in the plains of the Fertile Crescent. Sir David Attenborough (b. He launched the magazines Time, Life, Fortune, and Sports Illustrated and was called "the most influential private citizen in the America of his day". This, in order to convey that he was not exactly what during the Third Reich would have been called 'Aryan.' [45], He was the sixth President of the U.S. His Y-DNA Haplogroup was R1b1.[45]. Birger Jarl, the founder of Stockholm, the modern capital of Sweden, belonged to Y Haplogroup I-M253, according to Andreas Carlsson at the National Board of Forensic Medicine of Sweden. The Origins Centre at the University of the Witwatersrand tested the DNA of Nelson Mandela (1918-2013), the famous South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician and philanthropist, who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, and determined that he belonged to haplogroup E1b1a. The majority (about 70%) are members of the Celtic haplogroup R1b. [45], He was the first Vice President and second President of the U.S. His Y-DNA Haplogroup was R1b1.

After the war he became the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, which has made him a controversial figure in American history. (2018). If you are new to genetic genealogy, please check our Introduction to phylogenetics to understand how to read a phylogenetic tree. Although the study does not mention their haplogroups, further analysis of the data revealed that Nakht-Ankh belonged to Y-haplogroup H2, a very rare lineage today, but which was consistently found among Early Neolithic farmers from the Levant, Anatolia and parts of Europe. [28], Yuya was Tutankhamun's great grandfather.

[59], Tested relatives of Protestant reformer Martin Luther belonged to Haplogroup I2a-Din-N (L147.2+). Last update October 2021 (famous people). Predicted Y-DNA haplogroup G2a, based on ancient Y-STR profiles. The remains of Philip Calvert (c.1626-1682), 5th governor of Maryland, were analysed by Reich at al. We recruited 54 males and determined their mitochondrial haplogroup. The DNA analysis of the only known extant DNA sample from prisoner Spandau #7 proved to be a match to the Hess male line, thereby refuting the Doppelgnger Theory. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), a polymath and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, whose head has featured on the $100 bills since 1914, is a probable member of haplogroup R1b-U106 > Z18 > DF95 according to the testing of relatives.
