There were several Bulgarians found E-L677, which is V22 on 23andMe. Recently there was a Bulgarian found E-L1250 by the haplogroup assignment from the FamilyFinder test. The Big Y is ordered and we will soon know where exactly he will fall. There is another person marked from Bulgaria there...

This is the haplogroup on the YFULL tree: https://www.yfull.com/tree/N-VL11/

There is a new study, which claims to have tested a real Rurikid and the haplogroup is definitely N1a! This is Dmitry Alexandrovich , the son of Alexander Nevski. There are further claims that sample origin of Gleb is not proven and this is just a random burial, hence the Slavic haplogoup. The...

The first Bessarabs were probably of Cuman origin, so haplogroup most likely some Q or R1a Z93. The Bessarabs from the study were just modern Romanians with that surname, no connection to the old rulers.

I can't bet on percentage, however it is evident some of the Bulgarian V13 are not autochthonous on the Balkan, but probably came during the migration period, with the Slavs, Goths, etc. However we don't have enough deep tests like the Albanians and almost every new one comes with a different...

Making theories on the present distribution of V13 in Bulgaria is not very correct. I can say that the numerous samples from Central Balkan mountains is a sample bias, due to active recruitment of related people in the Central Balkan maintains project. Further to that there were some people...

There are only 2 East Asian mtDNA haplogroups and they are no doubt traces of Mongol and other more recent invasions. Some Tartar groups fled to Poland in late Medieval times after Russia got the upper hand...

There was another Bulgarian from North Eastern Bulgaria found with that branch, for now tested with the YSEQ pack. He is Y16808+, Y31081-, Y31084-. His haplotype, however is not very close to the other Bulgarian (Rhodopes Pomak). He is planned to be further tested with Dante Lab and will be...

Well, this sample may not be a first generation, but have inherited the haplogroup way back. Furthermore, similar autosomal admixture or the same place on the plot may not indicate direct ancestry from the previous people. As only 3 admixtures were considered I wonder how an Anatolian from...

The Roman sample is obviously connected to the Danubian limes. At later stage of the Empire the legionnaires were recruited predominantly in the Eastern parts. After serving their time they were given land in the vicinity and could make blended families with the locals. In this case the...

G21-L91 is relatively common in the Southern Balkans (1% from the 5% haplogroup G among Bulgarians), however not sure if any Croat found, unless from Dalmatia region, which had recent migrations from the South. https://www.yfull.com/tree/G-L91/

Generally nothing new since the "Genomic history of Southeast Europe". Bronze age people on the Balkans are not the same as modern and we cant deduce much from single Iron and Rome age results. Again no E-V13 and J2b2, the R1a is exclusively Z93. Even G2a is L91 in the Bronze age when we should...

I always suspected he is from the Tartar/Chuvash branch and the connection are the Mongols and Golden Horde, soon we will know.

As far as I can see here, V13 is a very minor haplogroup among Kurds, they are mostly E-M84. The only proven branch is S7461, which has some presence in the Middle East...

The latest Roman study may be an indication what were the haplogroups of the Ancient Greeks and later Greek world, too. It is obvious E-V13 or even other subclades of E1b1b1 were only a minor haplogroups among them, J2a and J1 reign supreme, along with G2a and T1.

Well, I suspected it would come to that with this sample. It is true a small percentage of Balkan people have some Roma/Gypsy admixture, bu the vast majority have none at all. South Balkans also have the least steppe admixture of the Yamnaya type compared to other Slavic people. So how we relate...

There is something wrong with this Butkara_IA sample. Suddenly it appears as the closest ancient sample to most Bulgarians and Macedonians. He is even not a "pure" Ancient Greek or Thracian, who may have followed Alexander, but a mixture of Steppe and Indian. How about other Balkan people? Here...

A subclade of J2a-L24 - L70 is quite popular in the Southern Balkans. Have you been tested for that on LivingDNA, or you are a real L24*, i.e some undiscovered branch. Previous study about J2a-L397(which is at the level of L70) connects it to Greek and Phoenician colonisation...

The latest study about the Scythians claims that the people of Chernyakhiv culture were Balkan like. As it spread also to Ukraine and part of Belarus that could be the source of "Balkan" among West and East Slavs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernyakhov_culture...

This study is very manipulative, they pick only samples which may serve their agenda - i.e modern Bulgarians are mostly descendants of old Bulgars, who were not Central Asian, but North Caucasus tribe. The only Bronze Age sample they show is in fact Bul4 Yamnaya_Bulgaria_outlier from "The...
