A thread to suggest new famous R1a individuals. My own first suggestion is the outlaw Jesse James. A descendant of his grandfather reverend John Martin James (1775-1827) has tested R1a on the James Y-DNA project These two I have posted before, but I will mention them here again for the sake of...

I don't see a thread on famous E1b1b individuals yet, so I thought it might be a good idea to start one. The first candidate I would like to propose is Metallica singer James Hetfield. According to geni.com, he is a descendant of Valentine Hatfield (1767-1840) of Russell county, Virginia...
