"From a chronological perspective, one can conclude that the Macura clan arrived on the Balkans among one of the groups of the early Germanic tribes that left its northern territories, and moved toward acquiring territories in the east of Europe, and in this manner came to the Black Sea. Given that the four Serbian Macuras (with origins from Dalmatia and Srpska) have tested their haplogroups and obtained identical results, one can readily conclude that they originate from the very same ancestor from the distant past. That ancestor probably belonged to haplogroup I1 Z63 originating from northern Europe, that is, from Sweden (Gotland), Denmark and Northern Germany.
"Taking into consideration the confirmed DNA of genealogical origin, and the understanding of the movements of the Goths and other Germanic clans, it is most probable that the Macuras’ early ancestors arrived in Montenegro during the disintegration of the Western Roman Empire, that is, during the attack of the Ostrogoths on the Roman province of Praevalis, during the year 476 AD. One year earlier the Visigoths had overtaken Rome and in doing so had ended the Western Roman Empire. The Ostrogoths, the eastern brothers of the Visigoths, were mainly concentrated in the Balkans, or more precisely, in Montenegro and Dalmatia.".
