Based on the numerous results from the Gentis Grimaldorum DNA Project, the original House of Grimaldi, which inlcuded the Lords then Princes of Monaco until Louis II of Monaco (1870-1949), belonged to a Scandinavian branch of haplogroup I1-L22 > Y3549 > P109 > Y3662 > S14887. Minoan Crete, Hittite Anatolia, the Levant, Bactria and the Indus Valley also shared a tradition of bull leaping, the ritual of dodging the charge of a bull. So, it may be that the haplogroup previously attributed to Niall is actually attributable to Conn of the Hundred Battles. He belonged to the subclade J2a1b. All kings of France being descended in patrilineal line from Robert the Strong (820-866), unless a non-paternity event happened some time before Louis XIII, it can be assumed that all kings of France belonged to the same R1b-Z381 lineage. J2a levels would have been higher among the Greeks than the Etruscans, and particularly among the insular Greeks that colonised Magna Graecia. An extended 17-marker haplotype was published in 2007,[57] and the company Family Tree DNA has also published results for other markers in its standard first 12-marker panel. The lineage of the House of Wettin was identified as R1b-U106 > Z2265 > Z381 > Z156 > Z305 > Z307 > Z304 > DF98 > S18823 > S22069 > Y17440 > A6535 by the testing of two known descendants of the Wettin line by Brad Michael Little. Bernadotte was a native of Pau in Gascony, where this haplogroup is indeed common today. Check the Donald Clan Genetic Genealogy Project for more information. The Lubomirski trace back their roots to 10th century Poland. He served as the first and sixth post-colonial Governor of Virginia. American Founding Father Patrick Henry (1736-1799) belonged to R1b-L21 > DF13 > DF1 > S6365 > BY16 > Z16372 according to relative testing at the Henry DNA Project (lineage R1b-06). 1951), was revealed to belong to haplogroup I1 by the PBS TV series Finding Your Roots. Or it could have been one of the lineages of Chalcolithic Southeast and Central Europe. Warren G. Harding (1865-1923), the 29th president of the United States, belonged to R1b-L21 > DF13 > Z39589 > DF49 > DF23 > ZP75 based on the results from the Harden/Harding DNA Project. [39], Edward IV of England and his brother Richard III of England, both sons of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, would have shared the same mtDNA haplogroup J1c2c. of which 57% are J2 and around 20% are J1. (GDrive) , 46 Pre-Chalcolithic J-M172 main sub-haplogroups, Y-SNP analysis of I4331, J2b2a-L283, Bronze Age Croatia Mathieson et al. The American actor Robert John Downey Jr. (b.

So both men would share the same paternal haplogroup. Because mtDNA breaks down more slowly than nuclear DNA, it is often possible to obtain mtDNA results where other testing fails. It is estimated that J2 split first from J* around 37,000 years ago, followed by J1 some 33,000 years ago. Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, belonged to haplogroup R1b-P312 > Z30597 based on the testing of a descendant of his grandfather, Judge James Wilson (1787-1850) at the Wilson DNA Project (Genetic Family ZZN). However, interpretations based on simple haplogroup frequency clines . If this is correct, it could mean that all Japanese emperors and a great number of daimyo (feudal lords) and samurai families would have belonged to haplogroup D1b1a2, if non-paternity events did not occur. All the great seafaring civilisations from the middle Bronze Age to the Iron Age were dominated by J2 men. A paternal cousin of his tested his Y-DNA and belongs to J2b2a-Z631. Ironically this haplogroup thought to be at the origin of Afro-Asiatic languages, which includes the Semitic languages and peoples that Hitler despised so much. The DNA of King Bla III of Hungary (c. 1148-1196) was tested by Olasz et al.

Other high incidence of haplogroup J2 are found in many other Caucasian populations, including the Azeri (30%), the Georgians (27%), the Kumyks (25%), and the Armenians (22%). He has received the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1999, and the Kennedy Center Honors Award in 2012. The project proved conclusively that all Hamilton branches descending from Sir James Hamilton, 5th Laird of Cadzow, progenitor of both aforementioned branches, belong to I1-Z63 > BY151 > FGC81364 > S2078 > S2077 > Y2245 > L1237 > Y6634 > FGC9549 > Y6615, with a most recent common ancestor living about 750 years ago. The study revealed that he belonged to haplogroup E1b1b1. Descendant testing at Family Tree DNA showed that that lineaged belonged to haplogroup O2a2b1a1 (formerly known as O3a2c1a), the most common lineage among Han Chinese, and specifically to the O-CTS10738 subclade found in both China and Japan. They claim descent from the 4th-century Irish king Niall of the Nine Hostages. Most branches (Towie, Collairnie, Fife, Kilbirnie, Perceton) were found to belong to haplogroup I2a1a-M26 > L160 > PF4088 > PF4189 > Y84594 > BY68371. He is 3 micro sat distance from me on 12 markers. He almost surely belongs to a branch under Q-Y2200. He is the son of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and German diplomat Claus von Amsberg, whose family hails from Mecklenburg. Rutherford B.

The J-M172 Story. The most prominent members were King Robert II of Scotland, Kings James I, Charles I, Charles II and James II of England & Ireland. According to the descendant testing listed at the Russian Nobility DNA Project at FTDNA, the branch of the Rurik dynasty descended from Vladimir II Monomakh (Monomakhoviches) belong to Y-DNA haplogroup N1c1, and includes Alexander Nevsky (1220-1263) and Ivan the Terrible (1530-1584).

[38], Charles Darwin belonged to Y haplogroup R1b based on a sample from his great-great-grandson. Hayes was a lawyer and staunch abolitionist. Z435 has numerous subclades of its own, and most have been identified in central Italy. The geographic origin is believed to be in the cressant fertile (Iraq,Turkey and Syria) The age is estimated to be 18,500 +/- 3,500 thousands years ago See more details about J2 . R1a members of the Cooper DNA Project belong to the Scandinavian/Scottish R1a-Z284 > L448 branch. They concluded that all three men share the same STR haplotype and belonged to haplogroup R1b-U106 (Z381* subclade). Last update October 2021 (famous people). 1970), seems to belong to haplogroup I2-M284 > L1195 > Y3709 > FT63416 according to the Vaughn Surname Project.

Another branch became Lords Paisley (1587), Earls of Abercorn (1606), Marquesses of Abercorn (1790), and Dukes of Abercorn (1868) to this day. He is assumed to be a member of haplogroup J1 according to a discussion on the Poreklo Forum. That would explain why it has been so hard to identify R1a or R1b lineages that could be of Illyrian or Mycenaean origin. Zidane was named the best European footballer of the past 50 years in the UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll. Another conceivable possibility is that a minority of J2b2-L283 accompanied R1b-M269 from the Caucasus region and migrated to the Volga-Ural region in the early Bronze Age, propagating with them the Proto-Indo-European language and bronze technology to the Caspian steppe before the expansion of this new culture to Central and South Asia. Two others' mtDNA are A[1]. He married Anne Scott, 1st Duchess of Buccleuch and daughter of the 2nd Earl of Buccleuch.
