I dont know if this is of interest to our German cousins?

Help us map the genetic history of Germany



Living DNA and Germany’s largest genealogy society Verein für Computergenealogie e.V. (CompGen), are working with the world's leading academics, scientists and genealogists and seeking your help.

I thought it would be free but 89 Euros is very reasonable for a Y-DNA, mtDNA and Autosomal DNA test :)

 
I would like to see the genetic profile of people with ancestry from Rügen:

There are already some papers which hint at genetic distinctiveness of people from that island:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14717531

Apparently, the population of Rügen is in terms of genetics clearly separated from the populations of Denmark, Sweden and of Northern Germany (samples from Hamburg):

Abstract

24 haemogenetic markers (5 erythrocyte antigens, 7 polymorphisms of serum proteins, 12 polymorphisms of red cell enzymes) had been studied in 171 individuals from the island of Rügen (Germany, Baltic Sea). The cluster analysis separates clearly the Rügen sample just as the islands of Hiddensee and Ummanz from the neighbouring populations. The comparison of the data with neighboured larger populations as for instance Denmark, Hamburg or Sweden clearly results in an exceptional position of the island of Rügen. The possible reasons are discussed. (...)
