The mutation that gave rise to J2 is called J-M172. Another branch became the Earls of Loudoun (1633-1786). Birger Magnusson was the ancestor of a line of kings of both Sweden and Norway, starting with his son, Valdemar, King of Sweden. He is best remembered for being a strong defender of slavery. The drawback of this hypothesis is that it doesn't explain why R1b lineages strongly outnumber J2b2 in Europe but not in South Asia. In human genetics, Haplogroup J2 (M172) is a Y-chromosome haplogroup which is a subdivision of haplogroup J. Haplogroup J2 is widely believed to be associated with the spread of agriculture from the northern Fertile Crescent, the Levant, and Anatolia [1],[2]. He almost surely belongs to a branch under Q-Y2200. Y-DNA Haplogroup J2b2 M241 Geno 2.0 heatmap analysis - Rhineland, Romans. The Fujiwara clan was a powerful family of regents who dominated Japanese politics during the Heian period (7941185). Within the Indian subcontinent, J2a peaks at frequencies of 15-25% around the Indo-Pakistani border, from Punjab to Gujarat and Sindh. The analysis of his descendants's Y-chromosomal DNA confirmed that Joseph Smith (1805-1844), the founder of Mormonism and the Latter Day Saint movement, belonged to haplogroup R1b-M222 (R1b-L21 > DF13 > DF49 > Z2980 > Z2976 > DF23 > Z2961 > S645 > Z2965 > M222). 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. Freskin's descendants were designated by the surname de Moravia ("of Moray" in the Norman language), which later became 'Murray'. All the rest are speculations of journalists who didn't even take the trouble to read my article, although I had it translated into English especially for this purpose. Franklin Pierce (1804-1869), the 14th president of the United States, was a member of R1b-U106 > Z381 > Z156 > S497 > DF96 based on the results from the Pierce DNA Project (North) (Group C). Nicholas II has been predicted as having a Y-DNA R1b haplotype. 2018, J2-M172@FTDNA Project Administration Changes Announcement, J2a-Z6048: refinement in the no-Caucasus J2a* clade, Refinement for J2b2a-M241 (including L283,Z622,Z2447,Z2444), J2a1-PF7413(xPF7415): refinement and new subclade Z40257, Z40258, J2a1-S15439,L198: M419 NGS available and new subclade Z40067,Z40068. the study from publication in a reputable journal. This page collects famous members of Y-DNA haplogroup J2 (paternal lineage). Z435 was formed about 3,600 years ago and has a TMRCA of only 3,100 years ( 300 years). Author: Maciamo Hay. Bush (1924-2018), the 41st president of the United States, and his son George W. Bush (b. 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. The clan chief have held the title first of Lord Campbell (from 1445), then Earl of Argyll (1457), Marquess of Argyll (1641) and lastly Duke of Argyll from 1701 to this day. Custer was descended from 1939) desends from an illegitimate branch of King Robert III of Scotland, the Stewarts of Blackhall & Ardgowan. J2b is also absent from western and central Anatolia, but is present in eastern Anatolia and western Iran, as well as in the Volga-Ural region, notably among the Mordvins, Chuvashs and Tatars. At first sight, the modern distribution of J2b seems to have a stronger association with the Neolithic and Chalcolithic cultures of Southeast Europe. One of his most illustrious descendant was admiral Zheng He (1371-1433), sometimes dubbed the Chinese Columbus, commanded expeditionary voyages to Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa from 1405 to 1433. Chromo 2 Y-DNA Y-SNPs covered from the current research tree. The Phoenicians, Jews, Greeks and Romans all contributed to the presence of J2a in Iberia. [58] Combining these sources gives the consolidated 21-marker haplotype below. Dodik was the Prime Minister of Republika Srpska from 1998 until 2001 and from 2006 until 2010 and the President of Republika Srpska from 2010 to 2018. According to the DNA test of a relative, Hollywood actor, screenwriter and film producer, Adam Sandler (b. The Irish politician Enda Kenny (born 1951), who has been leader of Fine Gael since 2002 and Taoiseach since March 2011, had his DNA tested by National Geographic. Early in this expansion process, Haplogroup J developed 2 subgroups, J1 and J2. The surname MacGregor was proscribed by Royal decree in Scotland from about 1650 to 1750 and many clan members changed their name to Murray. Haplogroups of the Founding Fathers of the United States, Haplogroups of prominent leaders of the American Civil War, Johnson/Johnston/Johnstone DNA Surname Project, Prince Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Prigord, John Graham of Claverhouse, 1st Viscount Dundee, Randolph/Randall/Randle/Randol Surname Group. 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%). This was determined by testing his grandson, Alexander Burdonsky (his son Vasily's son). [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"). Both have been the subject of works by Walter Scott. 2016). He is known for his roll in creating the TV show Seinfeld. Results from the Lyon(s) Surname DNA Project indicate that the aristocratic branch of Clan Lyon belongs to I1-L22 > Z2338 > P109 > S10891, a clade associated with the Viking migrations and the Normans. Clan Lyon is a Scottish clan of Anglo-Norman origin descended from Ingelram de Lyons, Lord of Lyons, who arrived in England with the Norman Conquest. 1966) belongs to haplogroup J2a1-Z30390 (downstream of M67 and L210). 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. BY351 based on results from the Arthur/MacArthur DNA Project, as a descendant of Thomas Barnabas Arthur (1680-1725) from Cullybacky, County Antrim, Ireland. J2 is localized around the Mediterranean, Greece, Italy / Sardinia and Spain. Further tests published in December 2014 revealed that his Y-chromosomal haplogroup was G2 (not tested for downstream mutations, but statistically very likely to be G2a3 as a northern European). The oldest samples recovered so far were from Early Bronze Age Jordan (c. 2400 BCE, Lazaridis et al. According to the O'Brien DNA Project, most O'Brien members fall within the Dl gCais group belonging to R1b-L21 > DF13 > Z253 > Z2534 > L226, with a most recent common ancestor living about 1500 years ago. In 2019, Leonard Sax published an article titled "Aus den Gemeinden von Burgenland: Revisiting the question of Adolf Hitlers paternal grandfather". About 16 princesses of Yuan dynasty were married to khans of the Ongud. The original researchers also stated they had not been consulted by iGENEA before it published the haplogroup information. William Howard Taft (1857-1930), the 27th President of the United States and the tenth Chief Justice of the United States, belonged to R1b-U106 > Z381 > Z301 >Z30 > Z338 > FGC1954 according to the results from the Taaffe DNA Project (descendant of Robert Taft, 1640-1725). The Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837), who is considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature, probably belonged to R1a-Z92 > YP617 > YP682 according to the testing of a distant cousin descending from Gregory "Pushka" Alexandrovich Morhinin, founder of the Pushkin family (reported on the Serbian genealogy website poreklo.rs). 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. Several branches of the Lowland Scottish Clan Barclay were tested at the Clan Barclay International DNA Project. 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. British Prime Minister David Cameron and Canadian film director James Cameron probably belong to the same lineage, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. Another presumed descendant of the imperial family tested at Family Tree DNA and also belonged to that haplogroup, and more precisely to the D-Z1504 subclade. 2016), and from Kotias Klde in Georgia, dating from 7940-7600 BCE (Jones et al. The Y-DNA from the Proto-Rurikid branches is N1c1 and matches the distinctive haplotype of the Monomakhoviches. The clan owned large tracts of land in Argyll as well as the Inner Hebrides. The Reginarid dynasty includes the first Counts of Hainaut, all the Counts of Louvain & Brussels and the original Dukes of Brabant & Lothier, as well as the entire House of Hesse (Landgraves and Grand-Dukes) and by extension the Battenberg family (Lords Mountbatten). [37] A followup publication precisely identified the haplogroup more precisely as a subgroup of O-M175, designated O1b1-F1462(xPK4). William Welles Hollister, a famous Californian rancher, belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup R1a1. (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. Clan Drummond is a Highland Scottish clan whose clan chief were granted the title of Lord Drummond of Cargill (1488), then of Earl of Perth (1605 to this day). 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. Clay ran for U.S. president in 1824, 1832, and 1844 and received the electoral votes each time, but nevertheless lost the elections. [35], Chinese warlord Cao Cao, who was posthumously titled Emperor Wu of the state of Cao Wei, belonged to Y-DNA Haplotype O2-M268 according to DNA tests of some documented present-day descendants with lineage records. [45], He was the sixth President of the U.S. His Y-DNA Haplogroup was R1b1.[45]. His deep clade would be R1b-L21 > DF13 > FGC5494 > FGC5561 > Z16503 > Z16504 > Z16502 > Z17653 > L1444 > BY23824. Because mtDNA breaks down more slowly than nuclear DNA, it is often possible to obtain mtDNA results where other testing fails. The current Princes of Monaco descend from the House of Polignac. 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). Unreliable citations may be challenged or deleted. Among these, it is believed that the S588 clade corresponds to the Cenl nEgain, the DF85 clade to the Cenl Conaill, and the A18726 clade to the U Briin (royal dynasty of Connacht). Outside the Caucasus, the highest frequencies of J2 are observed in Cyprus (37%), Crete (34%), northern Iraq (28%), Lebanon (26%), Turkey (24%, with peaks of 30% in the Marmara region and in central Anatolia), Greece (23%), Central Italy (23%), Sicily (23%), South Italy (21.5%), and Albania (19.5%), as well as among Jewish people (19 to 25%).
