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. The House of Grimaldi also produced three doges of Genoa, a prince of Salerno, and several archbishops and cardinals. In human genetics, Haplogroup J-M172 or J2 [Phylogenetics 1] is a Y-chromosome haplogroup which is a subclade (branch) of haplogroup J-M304. Known to his Army colleagues as "Hancock the Superb", he was noted in particular for his personal leadership at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. He was a descendant of William Polk/Pollock (c. 1700-1757). Through a founding effect, J2b2-L283 lineages might have considerably increased their original frequency after reaching Illyria. Sheikh Mohammed has overseen the development of numerous projects in Dubai including the creation of a technology park and a free economic zone, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, the Dubai International Finance Centre, the Palm Islands and the Burj Al Arab hotel.

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). The mutation that gave rise to J2 is called J-M172.

Corresponding areas between Geno 2.0 J2b2 and Roman settlements at the Rhine frontier (Limes). (2016) at Harvard Medical School and found to belong to haplogroup R1b-P312 > DF19 > DF88 > FGC11833 > S4281 > S4268 > Z17112 > S17075 > S10067. Other J2b lineages could have ended up in the Balkans during a number of Steppe invasions from the Bronze Age until the Middle Ages. The king was assigned to mtDNA haplogroup H and the woman was assigned to mtDNA haplogroup H5a. Another branch descending from that ancestor tested on the Hancock DNA Project (Group 01) and was found to belong to R1b-DF27 > Z195 > Z198 > Z292 > Z262 > Z201 > Z202 > Z205 > Z206 > Z208.

Both haplogroups are considerably more common in France than in Britain, however, which is consistent with the French roots of the House of Plantagenets. Napoleon I had previously been identified by Lucotte's team as a member of mtDNA haplogroup H. The acclaimed theoretical physicist Albert Einstein is presumed to have belonged to Y-haplogroup E-Z830 based on the results from a patrilineal descendant of Naphtali Hirsch Einstein, Albert Einstein's great-grand-father.

Chinese DNA testing company 23mofang tested the Y-DNA of various descendants of emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and determined they must have belonged to O-MF12415 (a deep clade of N7 with a shared common ancestor who lived only 700 years ago). Italy has by far the highest concentration of Z2177 of any country. 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. offered since late 2013 by BritainsDNA and associated companies ScotlandsDNA, IrelandsDNA and YorkshiresDNA. There is controversy regarding Tutankhamun's Y-DNA profile. [citation needed] Dr. Moore's results examined some different parts of DNA (loci) from the result given here. Cousins of Horthy posted their Y-DNA results at MolGen, and all belonged to I2a-Din-N (or I2a1b3a in current ISOGG nomenclature). The results need to be corroborated by other descendant testing. 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.

All shared very close STR values, proving beyond reasonable doubt that they shared a same recent patrilineal ancestor. This lineage also includes his brother, the producer and director Aaron Norris, and his sons, the actor Mike Norris and the race car driver Eric Norris. 1966) belongs to haplogroup J2a1-Z30390 (downstream of M67 and L210).

This confirms that haplogroup J2 was already found around the Caucasus and the southern Caspian region during the Mesolithic period. They descend from Robert Affleck (1785-1854), listed on the J2 Y-DNA Project. After that J2 could have propagated through Anatolia and the Eastern Mediterranean with the rise of early civilizations during the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age.

List of haplogroups of famous Japanese people "Famous peoples Y DNA and mt DNA haplotypes". Clan MacLean is one of the oldest clans in the Highlands, with origins going back at least to 852. Results from the Wilson DNA Project helped determine that the American statesmen, politician, legal scholar, and Founding Father James Wilson (1742-1798) most probably belonged to haplogroup I1. Although this points to a non-paternity at some time in the Plantagenet lineage, it is likely that most if not all Dukes of Beaufort, and possibly most Plantagenets monarchs outside the House of York belonged to R1b-U152. Although little data is available at present about deep clades in Crete or Aegean Greece, the parts of Italy that were colonised by Ionic and Doric Greeks, notably Sicily, Calabria and Basilicata, possess substantial percentages of typically Caucasian haplogroups, such as G2a-L297, J1-Z1828 and J2a-L581, as well as considerable levels of Middle Eastern and Caucasian autosomal admixture by European standards. Predicted Y-DNA haplogroup G2a, based on ancient Y-STR profiles. The oldest attested ancestor of the clan is Waldenus De Cochrane (1240-1300).

Union general William Tecumseh Sherman (1820-1891), who played a key role during the American Civil War, shared a common ancestor with Roger Sherman in the person of Henry Sherman (1511-1590) from Dedham, Essex. It is very possible that bronze technology spread from the South Caucasus across the Iranian plateau until the Indus Valley, giving rise to the Harappan Civilisation (see below). Other clan members later became Barons of Clackmannan, Lords Bruce of Kinloss (1608), Earls of Elgin (1633) and Earls of Kincardine (1647), titles that they keep to this day. 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. King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, belongs to haplogroup R1a-Z280 (north-western Slavic S18681 subclade) according to the testing of a distant cousin with FTDNA.
