Haplogroups of People from History on GENI - DNA OBTAINED FROM BODILY REMAINS

Jean-Paul Marat H2 (mtDNA)

Bloodstained copy of L'Ami du peuple held by Marat at his assassination

In 2020, a genetic study showed that the figure of the French Revolution Jean-Paul Marat killed in 1793, had the haplogroup H2 (mtDNA).[ Metagenomic analysis of a blood stain from the French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat (1743-1793) ]

Louis XVII Titular King of France H (mtDNA)

Louis XVII was the younger son of King of France Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. His maternal haplogroup is H. [ DNA analysis of the putative heart of Louis XVII, son of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette ]

Napoléon I, emperor of the French E1b1b1c1 (E-M34) (Y-DNA)

Napoleon's Tomb - Paris, FR

Analysis of two beard hairs revealed that Napoleon Bonaparte belonged to Y haplogroup E1b1b1c1 (E-M34). [[Charles Napoléon Bonaparte Charles Napoléon Bonaparte] Charles Napoléon], the current collateral male descendant of Napoléon I, belongs to this same Y-haplogroup [ Haplogroup of the Y Chromosome of Napoléon the First ; Napoleon Bonaparte’s Y-DNA Haplogroup Belonged to E1b1b1c1* (E-M34) ]

Nicholas II, Tsar of Russia T (mtDNA)

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. His results matched those of a cousin, Prince Nikolai Trubetskoy, but showed a heteroplasmy – a mix of two different sequences – indicating a recent mutation. To further confirm the identity, the tsar's brother, [[Grand Duke Georgii Alexandrovich of Russia Grand Duke Georgii Alexandrovich of Russia] Grand Duke George], was exhumed and found to have the same mitochondrial heteroplasmy.

Alexandra Feodorovna, Empress of All the Russias & her Children H (mtDNA)

Grave site where the Romanov bodies were discovered

Empress Alexandra of Russia and her children, Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna Romanova , Tatiana Nikolaevna Romanova Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna Romanova Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova Anastasia, and Alexei Nikolaevich Romanov Alexei were identified as belonging to mtDNA haplogroup H (16111T, 16357C, 263G, 315.1C). This identity was confirmed by match to that of her grand-nephew, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Ramesses III, Pharaoh of Egypt E-M2 aka E1b1a (Y-DNA)

Ramses III's mummy

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.

Richard III, King of England J (mtDNA); G-P287 (Y-DNA)

Richard III's bones as originally discovered under a car park

Richard III's mitochondrial haplotype was inferred from living descendants and then the identity of his remains confirmed through a multidisciplinary process including genetic analysis of both his mitochondrial and Y-DNA. In 2004 British historian John Ashdown-Hill traced a British-born woman living in Canada, Joy Ibsen (née Brown), who is a direct maternal line descendant of [[Anne of York, Duchess of Exeter Anne of York, Duchess of Exeter] Anne of York, Duchess of Exeter], a sister of Richard III of England. [[Joyce Muriel Ibsen Joyce Muriel Ibsen] Joy Ibsen]'s mtDNA was tested and belongs to mtDNA haplogroup J. Joy Ibsen died in 2008. On 4 February 2013, University of Leicester researchers announced that there was an mtDNA match between that of a skeleton exhumed in Leicester suspected of belonging to Richard III and that of Joy Ibsen's son, Michael Ibsen, and a second direct maternal line descendant named [[Wendy Duldig Wendy Duldig] Wendy Duldig].They share mtDNA haplogroup J1c2c.
The Y haplogroup of Richard III, last king of the House of York and last of the House of Plantagenet, was identified as Y-DNA G-P287, in contrast to the Y haplotypes of the putative modern relatives.

Sweyn II Estridson, King of Denmark H (mtDNA)

Reconstruction of Sweyn Estridsson's head based on the skull

In order to verify whether the body of a woman entombed near Sweyn II of Denmark in Roskilde Cathedral is that of his mother Estrid, mtDNA from pulp of teeth from each of the two bodies was extracted and analysed. The king was assigned to mtDNA haplogroup H and the woman was assigned to mtDNA haplogroup H5a. 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.

Tutankhamun, Pharaoh of Egypt K (mtDNA); R1b(Y-DNA)

Howard Carter examining the innermost coffin of Tutankhamun, 1925

There is controversy regarding Tutankhamun's Y-DNA profile. It was not discussed in a 2010 academic study that included DNA profiling of some of the male mummies of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, and was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The team that analysed the Eighteenth Dynasty mummies disputed a claim later made by the personal genomics company iGENEA regarding Tutankhamun's Y-DNA profile. Staff from iGENEA examined images from news coverage of the above study, that purportedly showed data from Tutankhamun's Y-DNA profile. Based on the unverified images, iGENEA claimed that Tutankhamun belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup R1b1a2,[32][33] a claim that was rejected as "unscientific" by members of the team that had actually analysed the Eighteenth Dynasty mummies. The original researchers also stated they had not been consulted by iGENEA before it published the haplogroup information. However, in a 2020 publication, those same researchers confirmed that the y-haplogroup of Tutankhamun was, indeed, R1b. [ Maternal and Paternal Lineages in King Tutankhamun's Family ]

Prince Gleb Sviatoslavich of Tmutarakan Gleb Svyatoslavich H5a2a (mtDNA); I-Y3120 (Y-DNA)

The genetic study "Population genomics of the Viking world" was published September 16, 2020 in Nature, and showed that Gleb Svyatoslavich (sample VK542), an 11th century Rurikid Prince of Tmutarakan and Novgorod in Kievan Rus', was found to belong to Y-DNA haplogroup I2a1a2b1a1a (I-Y3120) and mtDNA haplogroup H5a2a. In YFull's YTree a more detailed position is given for his Y-DNA under I-Y3120's subclades Y4460 > Y3106 > Y91535.

Bela III, king of Hungary H1b (mtDNA) R1a (Y-DNA)

Facial reconstruction of King Béla III of Hungary at an exhibition of the Institute of Hungarian Research (Emese Gábor, 2023)

A few decades after the collapse of the Avar Khaganate (c. 822 AD), Hungarian invaders conquered the Carpathian Basin (c. 862–895 AD). The first Hungarian ruling dynasty, the Árpáds played an important role in European history during the Middle Ages. King Béla III (1172–1196) was one of the most significant rulers of the dynasty. He also consolidated Hungarian dominance over the Northern Balkans. The provostry church of the Virgin Mary (commonly known as the Royal Basilica of Székesfehérvár) played a prominent role as a coronation church and burial place of medieval Hungarian kings. The basilica’s building and graves had been destroyed over the centuries. The only royal graves that remained intact were those of King Béla III and his first spouse, Anna of Antioch. These graves were discovered in 1848. We defined the autosomal STR (short tandem repeat) fingerprints of the royal couple and eight additional individuals (two females and six males) found in the Royal Basilica.DNA profiling of Hungarian King Béla III and other skeletal remains originating from the Royal Basilica of Székesfehérvár

Karrie, that's marvellous. Please start adding them to the project. Yell, and I'll come and add pics or help with formatting if you need it :-)

Georgii, you probably manage on one of the profiles mentioned in the Discussion and hence were alerted.

I'm not qualified to give you an answer on the quality of the genetic labs. :-/

Are you asking why your mtDNA haplogroup is different from one of the Romanov's?
MtDNA is passed from a mother to her children, but only the daughters pass it on to their children.

• step 1: Check your Geni paper trail to them: It would have to be your motherline to do that. Your mother's mother's mother' mother etc. See Limits of DNA Testing for Family History
• step 2: if that is so, then you walk the tree through each profile checking that each one has good primary source documentaton. See Working with Sources
• step 3: only if that is perfect should you start to research the quality of the study, or the quality of your own test.

Karrie, use this icon . Job Waterreus is the master of technical explanations, but he's off Geni for a couple days. Hopefully he can come back here to help, if you battle.

I can't find the write ups in the project. Did yousave :-/ ?
