Deputy Führer of Nazi Germany was of Slavic extraction, DNA test shows

[Peterski]

DNA testing showed me specific parts of where my family is from (like a town in Ireland)

This is all based on where your modern Irish matches live, not on ancient Irish DNA.

You can learn similar stuff about paternal line from where your Y-DNA matches live.

Ok, I'll look into it. I'm just a simple McVlach peasant trying to navigate the all too complex world of DNA analysis. I'll get there.

All these cool haplogroups and you choose to be salty.

The ladies love salty.

[Peterski]

Yeah, I've seen this shit a millions times. I've seen lots of counter arguments to this

Ancient DNA should eventually determine which theory is true. And this includes also ancient Y-DNA lineages.

DNA test of Rudolf Hess revealed he was descended from Germanized Slavs, with Y-DNA haplogroup R1a M458>L1029, most common among Sorbs and Poles:

Please excuse my ignorance but why does Y DNA matter so much when it comes to understanding ones genetics? I know it comes from the male line in the family but its my understanding that it doesn't tell much about someones overall ethnicity. What is the great value of it to someone who just wants to understand their background?

Well if you're M222 for instance you are very likely Irish or Scots. The further down you can get to subclades is where it is really informative.

Y DNA is your direct male line, it's useful in describing common ancestry within populations, describing migration patterns and tracing deep direct ancestry. People find Y DNA interestnig for various different reasons, some are adopted and want to find out their surname, which Y dna tests can be useful, some are part of surname projects, some are part of respective national projects which aim at discovering migrationary patterns for their various countries of origins. And for some people they just enjoy Y dna tracing, and don't need to justify a specific reason to anyone. I've taken a Y dna test as I want to find out the clan origin of my direct line before my ancestors left Montenegro/Herzegovina and settled in Dalmatia. I know of 2 clans but only a Y dna test can fully cement this, unless I want to travel to some church in the middle of nowhere and go through 100s of years of documents to find out.

What I'll never understand, or comprehend, is why you and a various number of other users on this forum, continously shit on other peoples parades, what goes through your heads when you see a thread on a topic concerning Y DNA, and post stating "why does Y dna matter", I don't enjoy football or sports, but I don't post on these threads and say "fuck football why does it matter man", no one has forced you, or any other user for that matter to post on this, or any other thread. What's worse is that even threads posted within the Y DNA sub forum, and the haplogroup subforum get pestered by trolls posting "Y dna doesn't matter" blah blah. If you're not interested in it, and prefer autosomal, then just avoid the threads, no one has forced you by gun point to be here.

The depopulation of Dacia after 275 AD:

Settlement patterns after the depopulation:



According to mainstream archeology, Romanians are descended from Vlachs who settled in what is now Romania after 1000 AD.

That's not a mainsteam source. It's a hungarian blog. This is from your wiki source:

"Archaeological evidence obtained from burial sites and settlements supports the contention that a portion of the native population continued to inhabit what was Roman Dacia.[270] Pottery remains dated to the years after 271 AD in Potaissa,[161] and Roman coinage of Marcus Claudius Tacitus and Crispus (son of Constantine I) uncovered in Napoca demonstrate the continued survival of these towns.[271]"

[Tommie]

And autosomal test was worth it? You learned that you are half Irish and half Romanian, something you already knew without taking a test.

By the way, Romanians are not Dacians (according to archaeology and historical records, Dacia was depopulated by the end of Roman rule).

Maybe if you do Y-DNA test you will find out that you have a Dacian haplogroup, once we learn from ancient DNA what haplogroups they had.

So maybe you will prove me wrong.

It's so annoying to me when people think they know what they are talking about. There are numerous records, readily availabe on Google, which attest the Romanian continuity North of Danube, and yet there are NO documented sources about this so-called great migration from the South. I'm honestly tired of repeating this crap over and over again.

I was mainly provoking Daco Celtic to get interested in Y-DNA testing.

I don't have any strong opinions about Dacian-Romanian continuity or discontinuity.
