recognized by geneticists. The king was assigned to mtDNA haplogroup H and the woman was assigned to mtDNA haplogroup H5a. J-L24-Y-DNA. The O'Neill dynasty is a Gaelic Irish lineage that dominated the northern half of Ireland from the 6th to the 10th century. If you are new to genetic genealogy, please check our Introduction to phylogenetics to understand how to read a phylogenetic tree. This is a list of haplogroups of historic people. At least three descendants from the Fujiwara clan tested their Y-DNA at Family Tree DNA and all belonged to haplogroup O1b2a1 (formerly known as O2b1a), also known as O-47Z (aka CTS10674 or CTS11986). According to the O'Neill DNA Project, the latter's probable lineage was R1b-L21 > DF13 > DF49 > Z2980 > Z2976 > DF23 > Z2961 > S645 > Z2965 > M222 > Y2605 > Y2841 > DF104 > DF109 (aka DF105), which split into 29 branches. Larry David (b. (2016) tested 44 ancient Near Eastern samples, including Neolithic farmers from Jordan and western Iran, but only the above-mentioned sample from Mesolithic Iran belonged to J2. Al Capone (1899-1947), sometimes known by the nickname "Scarface", was an American gangster and businessman who attained notoriety during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit. 1965) ad his Y-haplogroup was revealed by the PBS television series Finding Your Roots. This page collects famous members of Y-DNA haplogroup J2 (paternal lineage). Bernadotte was a native of Pau in Gascony, where this haplogroup is indeed common today. Larmuseau et al. He was the leading architect of the League of Nations.

(2012) recovered the DNA of Napoleon Bonaparte from beard hair follicules and compared his Y-DNA to that of one of his present-day descendants, Charles Napolon. The oldest known J2a samples at present were identified in remains from the Hotu Cave in northern Iran, dating from 9100-8600 BCE (Lazaridis et al. mtDNA Haplogroup H (16111T, 16357C, 263G, 315.1C): The only ma. One high-frequency regionencompassing the Arabian Peninsula, southern Mesopotamia, and the . William was a direct descendant of John Hollister, an early . Check the Donald Clan Genetic Genealogy Project for more information. The most likely hypothesis is that J2b2a1 (L283) penetrated into the Pontic Steppe region during the Neolithic or Chalcolithic period, by crossing the Caucasus from western Iran, then migrated to the Volga-Ural region, where it was absorbed by the R1a-Z93 tribes in the Early Bronze Age. Mikls Horthy (1868-1957), was Regent of of the Kingdom of Hungary from 1920 to 1944. A few kuge (court aristocracy) families also descend from the Minamoto, such as the Koga. He married Anne Scott, 1st Duchess of Buccleuch and daughter of the 2nd Earl of Buccleuch. The famous Protestant reformer Martin Luther appears to have belonged to haplogroup I2a-Din-N (L147.2, aka CTS5966 or CTS10228) according to probable relatives whose haplotypes can be found on the Luther Surname DNA Project, including one genealogically traceable 1st cousin 13 times removed, as well as other relatives on ySearch (especially ySearch ID: YTE6E). 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]. Clan Mackenzie is a Highland Scottish clan descending from Kenneth Mackenzie, 1st of Kintail (d. 1304). The Erskines have held the title of Earl of Mar since 1404, of Earl of Kellie since 1619, and of Earl of Buchan since 1640. He is assumed to be a member of haplogroup J1 according to a discussion on the Poreklo Forum. It was formed by descendants of the original clan, namely Clan Macpherson, Clan MacBean (or McBain) and Clan MacPhail, with the Clan Mackintosh and their cadet branches (Clan Shaw, Clan Farquharson, the Ritchies, and Clan MacThomas), and other clans unrelated by blood such as the MacGillivrays and the Davidson. (2005) estimated that Nurhaci (1559-1626), founder and first Emperor of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) of China, and all subsequent Qing emperors, probably belonged to Haplogroup C3c, a subclade that seems to have arisen in Manchuria some 500 years ago. This however did not match the Y-DNA of three modern relatives (who were all R1b-U152 xL2) descended from Edward III, Richard III's great-great-grand-father. Wilson served as the president of Princeton University and as the 34th governor of New Jersey before winning the 1912 presidential election. Born in Paris, he spent his schooling years in New York City and was a child prodigy, performing from the age of five. They descend from Reynold Bush (1600-1686) who emigrated from England (Fering Parish, Essex) to the Massachusetts colony about 1640. The Earl is the hereditary clan chief of Clan Boyle, whose ancestors came from the Norman town of Beauville near Caen. He is a descendant of Elijah Vaughn (1776-1855). Noah was the great-great-great-grand-son of John Webster (1590-1661), 5th Governor of the Connecticut Colony, whose other patrilineal descendants include industrialist Towner K. Webster, Chicago architect Maurice H. Webster, impressionist painter Stokely Webster, author Henry Kitchell Webster, and professor James G. Webster. What's more, 99% of them fall under the Z628 (aka Z597) clade, with a shared common ancestor who lived only 4,500 years ago. He is also known for being the inventor of the lightning rod, bifocals, and the Franklin stove. Nevertheless, it is very unlikely that haplogroups J2 originated in the Caucasus because of the low genetic diversity in the region. All the men tested share the same haplotype that falls into haplogroup R1b-S1200 > S14328 > S1196 > S6868 > FGC23892. The Rurikid Dynasty DNA Project at FTDNA managed to determine that the Lithuanian Gediminid dynasty, although not descended from the Rurik dynasty, also belongs to haplogroup N1c1. In 2005, geneticist Bryan Sykes asked for DNA samples from clan chiefs (Lord Godfrey Macdonald, Sir Ian Macdonald of Sleat, Ranald MacDonald of Clan Ranald, William McAlester of Loup and Ranald MacDonnell of Glengary) to complete the project, and all matched the presumed Somerled haplotype. The DNA of two male Minoan indivuals was tested in 2020 and they belonged to G2a-P303 and J2a1a-L26 > Z6055 > Y7010 > Y13128 > Z36834 (a branch found in Portugal today). Paulus Van Haren Kster (1644-1708) from Dsseldorf, Germany. A paternal cousin of his tested his Y-DNA and belongs to J2b2a-Z631. The clan chief has held the title of Earl of Dundonald since 1669. 1971) could also belong to that haplogroup, although it hasn't been confirmed yet. { Source: Finding Your Roots} Robert John Downey Jr. Downey is a US TV and movie actor. This identity was confirmed by match to that of her grand-nephew, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.[11][13]. Burt Bacharach (b. The BMAC was eventually overrun by the Indo-Iranian migrations from the Andronovo culture and the Sintashta culture further north, and became Indo-Europeanized. Professor Tomasz Kozowski tested the Y-DNA of Prince Janusz III of Masovia, Duke of Czersk, Warsaw, Liw, Zakroczym and Nur. 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. It has been hypothetised that Napoleon III was the son of Count Charles de Flahaut, who was Hortense's lover and had an illegitimate son (the Duke of Morny) with her three years after Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte's birth. The origins of the clan are unclear, but one hypothesis is that Donal Dubh, the first chief of Clan Cameron was descended either from the Macgillonies. His fatherline was identified in the Bragg DNA Project (Family 2, descending from Joseph B. Bragg), making of him a member of R1b-DF27 > Z196 > SRY2627 > Z208. A paternal cousin of his tested his Y-DNA and belongs to J2b2a-Z631. The Hata clan of Japan, said to have originated in China under the Chinese surname Qin and immigrated to Japan during the Kofun period (250538). Scientists make inferences of descent as hypotheses which could be disproved or modified by future research. Kevin Bacon (b. According to descendant research conducted by Brad Michael Little, the Reginarids' lineage was identified as R1b-L21 > DF13 > FGC5494 > FGC5561 > A913 > A7607. Italy has by far the highest concentration of Z2177 of any country. The English musician, singer-songwriter, and actor Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, known professionally by his stage name Sting (b. The sacred bull of Hinduism, Nandi, present in all temples dedicated to Shiva or Parvati, does not have an Indo-European origin, but can be traced back to Indus Valley civilisation. The Ottoman Sultans certainly did command a pretty large and powerful Empire. A six-time Grammy Award winner and three-time Academy Award winner, he is known for his popular hit songs and compositions from the late 1950s through the 1980s. 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. Whether mitochondrial respiratory capacity per mitochondrion (intrinsic activity) in human skeletal muscle is affected by differences in mitochondrial variants is not known. With a 95% probability, the most recent common ancestor of all members of haplogroup J-L70 was born between the years 2499 and 1333 BCE. [48], Toghan, Genghis Khan's sixth son has claimed descendants who have Y haplogroup C2b1a1b1-F1756 just like the first son of Genesis Khan, Jochi's descendants in the Kazakh Tore clan. His mtDNA haplogroup is K1a9. He was part of the so-called Great Triumvirate, along with Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun, who dominated American politics for much of the first half of the 19th century. The Fujiwara clan was a powerful family of regents who dominated Japanese politics during the Heian period (7941185). Both haplogroups are considerably more common in France than in Britain, however, which is consistent with the French roots of the House of Plantagenets. [6] Grard Lucotte,[7][circular reference] the controversial geneticist in charge of analyzing the hair material, also publicly claimed in France in 2005 to have "discovered" the DNA of Jesus Christ from the Argenteuil Tunic relic. Therefore, they indicate the genetic lines of people and the regions they come from that are the oldest we've been able to identify. Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882), the general, politician and nationalist who played a large role in the history of Italy, probably belonged to haplogroup E-V13 based on the Y-DNA results from another Garibaldi from the same province in his ancestral Liguria. The forensic analysis of the skeletal remains of Che Guevara (1928-1967), the Argentine Marxist revolutionary and major figure of the Cuban Revolution, revealed that he belonged to haplogroup R1b-L21. It is thought that J2 might have originated between the Caucasus Mountains, Mesopotamia and the Levant." Haplogroup E: "Most members of haplogroup E-M96 belong to one of its identified subclades, and the E-M96(xE-P147, E-M75) is rare. The Minoan civilisation emerged from 2,700 BCE and could have been founded by colonists from the Kura-Araxes culture who would have brought bronze working with them. Clan Erskine, a Lowland Scottish clan from Renfrewshire, apparently belongs to R1b-U152 > Z36 > BY1328 > BY2151 > A7992 > A8001 > BY32396 based on at least one descendant from John Erskine, 19th Earl of Mar (15581634) at the Erskine/Askey Surname Project. This was determined with a test on an oral mucosa sample taken from his paternal descendants. The pharaohs are buried in the Valley of the Kings. Two others' mtDNA are A[1]. In 2004 British historian John Ashdown-Hill traced a British-born woman living in Canada, Joy Ibsen (ne Brown), who is a direct maternal line descendant of Anne of York, Duchess of Exeter, a sister of Richard III of England. Other famous members of haplogroup J2a. Bush (1924-2018), the 41st president of the United States, and his son George W. Bush (b. This is the case of the Asakura clan. Larry Bird (b. Haplogroup J (Y-DNA) In human genetics, Haplogroup J (previously known as HG9 or Eu9/Eu10) is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. (2018). The Rothschild family, who established an international banking business, acquired the largest fortune in modern world history and established a true dynasty in the 19th century, apparently belonged to haplogroup J2a1-Y23457 (under M67, Z467 and Y15238) based on the results from the Rothschild DNA Project and of the J2-M172 Haplogroup Research. 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. Although members of both haplogroups spread along similar migration routes . The branch found in the western Balkans (Y22069) is distinct from the East Mediterranean and Caucasian branch. Because mtDNA breaks down more slowly than nuclear DNA, it is often possible to obtain mtDNA results where other testing fails. Several members of the House of Saud, the ruling royal family of Saudi Arabia, who descend from Muhammad bin Saud, founder of the Emirate of Diriyah, known as the First Saudi state (17441818), were confirmed to belong to haplogroup J1-FGC2, downstream of FGC12 (FGC12 > FGC1696 > FGC5 > FGC1 > FGC2). This Z628 clade is also found in India, Armenia and the Levant, among others. Mulders commented: I never wrote that Hitler was a Jew, or that he had a Jewish grandfather. a) Evidence to be in haplogroup J2: M172+ or positive for a certified downstream SNP or GD<7% to a certified haplotype of the person or a certified relative in the paternal surname lineage. There is a high diversity of J2a in Italy, but the most common branch found all over the peninsula and therefore most likely linked with a Roman diffusion is L70, and particularly its subclade Z435. According to the testing of relatives, he would have belonged to haplogroup I1-Z138. Korguz (Chinese: ) was the son of a princess of Kublai Khan and he was the king of the Ongud and a descendant of Gok-Turk. MtDNA results indicate direct maternal descent while Y-DNA results indicate direct paternal descent; these are only two of many lines of descent. On 12 September 2012, archeologists from the University of Leicester announced that they had discovered what they believed were the remains of King Richard III of England (1452-1485) within the former Greyfriars Friary Church in the city of Leicester (see Exhumation of Richard III). His genome possessed about 30% of Steppe admixture and 15% of Eastern Hunter-Gatherer, which suggest a recent arrival from the Steppe. Matt Lauer (b. The American actor and producer Nicolas Cage (born 1964),has been found to belong to haplogroup E1b1b-M84. While the Maykop culture was closely linked to the Yamnaya culture in the Pontic-Caspian Steppe and is thought to be associated with Proto-Indo-European speakers and Y-haplogroups R1a and R1b, the Kura-Araxes culture would have allowed the diffusion of Y-haplogroup J1 and J2a around the Middle East, taking over the Neolithic societies primarily associated with Y-haplogroup G2a and G2b. Edward was the youngest signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence. Many medieval emperors had illegitimate offspring (Emperor Saga alone fathered 49 children), who were bestowed the surnames Minamoto (Genji), Taira (Heike) or Tachibana, who in turn became powerful aristocratic clans of their own. Sanders is the longest serving independent in U.S. congressional history. The DNA of King Bla III of Hungary (c. 1148-1196) was tested by Olasz et al. The personal genomics company 23andMe tested the Y-chromosomal haplogroup of business magnate and multi-billionaire Warren Buffett and singer/film producer Jimmy Buffett to determine whether they shared a common patrilineal ancestor. Highland Scottish Clan Murray and Clan Sutherland both descend from a Flemish nobleman by the name of Freskin, who settled in Scotland during the reign of King David I and was granted lands in West Lothian and the ancient Pictish kingdom of Moray (which would become known as Sutherland). (1304-1374), the famous humanist, scholar and poet from the Early Italian Renaissance. A team led by Prof. Albinas Kunceviius tested the DNA extracted from the remains of Mikoaj "the Red" Radziwi (1512-1584), Count Palatine of Vilnius and Grand Chancellor of Lithuania, and of his son Mikoaj Radziwi (1546-1589). During his career, Dustin Hoffman has won 2 Academy Award, was nominated for 5 additional ones, and won 6 Golden Globes out of 13 nominations. 2016). Custer was descended from They would acquire the title of Earl of Tullibardine (1606), Earl of Atholl (1629), Marquess of Atholl (1676), and ultimately Duke of Atholl (1703) to this day. [15], The purported remains of Francesco Petrarca, known as Petrarch, were tested for DNA in 2003. Their eponymous ancestor is Hashim ibn Abd Manaf, great-grandfather of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. In fact, it seems that many branches of J2a (e.g. George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876) was a United States Army officer and cavalry commander in the American Civil War and the American Indian Wars. The most prominent member is probably John C. Calhoun (17821850), who was the seventh Vice President of the United States. [33] In YFull's YTree a more detailed position is given for his Y-DNA under I-Y3120's subclades Y4460 > Y3106 > Y91535.[34]. His seven-year reign as a crime boss ended when he went to prison at the age of 33. There is another cluster of J2a with a frequency approximating 15% in Bactria, in southern-central Asia, in what is now northern Afghanistan, eastern Turkmenistan, southern Uzbekistan and western Tajikistan. [46], Y chromosome haplogroup C2c1a1a1-M407 is carried by Mongol descendants of the Northern Yuan ruler from 14741517, Dayan Khan, who is a male line descendant of Genghis Khan which was found out after geneticists in Mongolia conducted tests on them. All L70 carriers today descend from a single patrilineal ancestor who lived about 5,000 years ago. Nevgen assign his haplotype to R1b-U106 > Z381 > Z156 > BY12482 with 100% certainty. He also served as first governor of South Carolina after the Declaration of Independence, while he brother was the 10th governor. Descendants of two of the sons of Old Olof (who was born about 1380) were identified as G-Y12970*, and descendants of his alleged brother Fale as G-Y16788. From then on, J2 men would have definitely have represented a sizeable portion of the population of Bronze and Iron Age civilizations such as the Hurrians, the Assyrians or the Hittites. [37] A followup publication precisely identified the haplogroup more precisely as a subgroup of O-M175, designated O1b1-F1462(xPK4). The following year was declared Regent and Head of State. Ronny Decorte, a geneticist from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, tested relatives of Adolf Hitler and determined that the Frher belonged to haplogroup E1b1b. In 2010, journalist Jean-Paul Mulders and historian Marc Vermeeren publicised analysis of samples taken from 39 patrilineal relatives of Hitler, pointing out this haplogroup was now common among Afroasiatic speakers. 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. Clay ran for U.S. president in 1824, 1832, and 1844 and received the electoral votes each time, but nevertheless lost the elections. J2 was also absent from all Chalcolithic and Bronze Age Indo-European cultures, apart from one J2a1b sample in Hungary dating from the end of the Bronze Age (c. 1150 BCE, see Gamba et al. Mike Nichols (1931-2014) was a German-born American television, stage and film director, writer, producer and comedian. 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. The results unequivocally confirmed that the grave was the one of the last Russian Royal family. The other major samurai clans that do not descend from that lineage typically descend from the Fujiwara clan, who belong to haplogroup O1b. admin says: May 28, 2021 at 10:52 am Not all Macdonalds, MacAlisters and MacDougalls are descended from Somerled though. Stephen Langton (c.1150-1228) (subclade J2a1-M319): was Archbishop of Canterbury and author of the Magna Carta.His haplogroup was identified by David Langton, admin of the J-M319 DNA project. 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. Catherine the Great is 11-knee relation of Queen Victoria on this lineage. It is also common amongst Bedouins. Based on the observation of two HVR1 sequence differences, it was concluded that it is highly unlikely that the woman was the king's mother. J1; J1b; . The only member who claims descend from John Washington (1632-1677), great-grand-father of the 1st US president, belongs to R1b-L21 > DF13 > ZZ10 > Z253 > Z2186 > BY2744. During his presidency, McKinley led the nation to victory in the SpanishAmerican War, raised protective tariffs to promote American industry, and kept the nation on the gold standard in a rejection of the expansionary monetary policy of free silver. Distribution of haplogroup J2b (M102) in Europe, the Middle East & North Africa. Present in the vast area from . Several scientists have created their own theories about the Y-chromosomal haplogroup (and therefore the patrilineal ancestry) of Genghis Khan. The oldest samples recovered so far were from Early Bronze Age Jordan (c. 2400 BCE, Lazaridis et al. A six-time Grammy Award winner and three-time Academy Award winner, he is known for his popular hit songs and compositions from the late 1950s through the 1980s. Xue et al. The original researchers also stated they had not been consulted by iGENEA before it published the haplogroup information.
