I am happy that Poland wasn't so R1a back in the time

and that happened in the Heart of R1a-ethelistan! - Masovian Prince was R1b


Professor Tomasz Kozłowski tested the Y-DNA of Prince Janusz III of Masovia, Duke of Czersk, Warsaw, Liw, Zakroczym and Nur. He was a direct descendent of the Piast Dynasty, the first historical dynasty ruling over Poland, starting with Prince Mieszko I (c. 930–992) and ending in 1370 with the death of King Casimir III the Great. The Piast family continued to rule over the Duchy of Masovia until 1526 and the Duchy of Silesia until 1675. Prof. Kozłowski announced that the prince belonged to haplogroup R1b, and therefore probably also other members of that royal lineage, including all the Dukes of Masovia (1138-1526), as long as no non-paternity event took place.

Bogdanowicza et al. (2009) tested the Y-chromosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA of the exhumed remains of the Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. They established that he belonged to Y-haplogroup R1b-P310 and mt-haplogroup H.

General Władysław Sikorski was also R1b according to this study:

Most patriotic Poles turn out R1b - Piasts, Sikorski, Kopernik, Peterski.

The spread in Europe “above the Alps” is very rare and most probably an offspring from (the hotspots in) Southern Europe.

R1a is so underrated in Poland just because it is so common but it shouldn't be - Scandinavians love their R1a.

My dad is tested as R1a as well and I've just added it to my profile :D My mum's dad turns out to be T1a (tested via my cousin :D )

Did you guys know that Benjamin Netanyahu himself is R1a? King Willem Alexander of the Netherlands is also R1a.

It is found in majority of Corded Ware samples and also in Sintashta that reached Iran and India.
