Searching for famous R1b-U106 individuals

Hi Adrianuslucas, if you google family tree dna netherlands it should show up.
 
Canadian ice hockey player Mario Lemieux, who played with the Pittsburgh Penguins from 1984 to 2006, descends from Gabriel Lemieux (1630-1700) from Rouen, Normandy, and as such most probably belongs to haplogroup R1b-U106>Z381>Z301>L48>Z9>>Z326>> A5011 according to the French Heritage DNA project.

Lemieux is one of the best players of all times. He won the Lester B. Pearson Award as the most outstanding player voted by the players four times, the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player (MVP) during the regular season three times, the Art Ross Trophy as the league's points leader six times, and the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoffs MVP in 1991 and 1992. He is the only player to score one goal in each of the five possible situations in a single NHL game, a feat he accomplished in 1988. At the time of his retirement, he was the NHL's seventh-highest career points scorer with 690 goals and 1,033 assists. He ranks second in NHL history with a 0.754 career goals-per-game average, behind only Mike Bossy (0.762). He ranks second in NHL history with a 1.129 career assists-per-game average, behind only Wayne Gretzky (1.320). He also ranks second in NHL history with a 1.883 points-per-game average, behind only Wayne Gretzky (1.921).

Franklin Pierce (1804-1869), the 14th president of the United States, was a member of R1b-U106 > Z381 > Z156 > S497 > DF96 based on the results from the Pierce DNA Project (North) (Group C). Pierce was a northern Democrat who believed that the abolitionist movement was a fundamental threat to the unity of the nation, he alienated anti-slavery groups by supporting and signing the Kansas–Nebraska Act and enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act.

it's difficult to believe that Franklin Pierce and Emir Abd-el-Kader share a common ancestor 3800 years ago.

  • Emir Abdelkader (1808-1883) : was an Algerian religious and military leader who led a struggle against the French colonial invasion in the mid-19th century. One of his descendants tested at the Syrian DNA project (kit BP18930) and was found to belong to R1b-U106 > Z381 > Z156 > S497 > DF96, which in Algeria could be of Vandalic (or possibly Gothic) origin.

Why? 3800 years is a really long time. Emir Abdelkader's patrilineal ancestors were probably Vandals that settled in the Maghreb 1600 years ago.

Hello Maciamo,
Emir Abdelkader is a National Hero in Algeria and for many Algerians it was a kind of a Big "surprise" that his paternal lineage come from ... North West Europe!. (Considering that the North African society is strongly patriarchal and someway nationalistic...)
Please, can you confirm if your conclusion is based on a single Y test sample or it was confirmed by testing several male line Abdelkader's descendants?.

It is based on a single confirmed descendant.

3800 years is a stretch. A recent study published shows R1b has shorter branch and mutation rate so the TMRCA is younger than it is showed. YFull and FTDNA use the same calculations for all haplogroups

I also read one of your posts saying the number of mutations R1b has got in a short amount of time is huge stating that M269 alone got 103 defining mutations so this isn't far stretched

According to geni.com, actor Woody Harrelson is a descendant of the Dane Paul Harrelson who moved to Virginia in the 17th century. Several members of this family have been tested as R1b-U106 by FtDNA.

According to FTDNA we share a common paternal line ancestor who lived around 1550 years BCE :cool:

I don't know if testing downstream of R-Z372 might evidence an even closer connection.
