    Default Historic Burzenland in Transylvania

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burzenland

    "Țara Bârsei or the Burzenland (Romanian: Țara Bârsei; Hungarian: Barcaság) is a historic and ethnographic area in southeastern Transylvania, Romania with a mixed population of Romanians, Germans and Hungarians.

    The Burzenland lies within the Southern Carpathians mountains ranges, bordered approximately by Apața in the north, Bran in the southwest and Prejmer in the east. Its most important city is Brașov. Burzenland is named after the stream Bârsa which flows into the Olt river. The Romanian word bârsă is supposedly of Dacian origin."

    Burzenland was for some time part of the Teutonic Order's state, until the expulsion of Teutonic Knights from Hungary by King Andrew II. The intended purpose of Teutonic Order there was to launch a crusade against Pagan Cumans, but they started to disobey Hungarians and attempted to become independent.

    After their expulsion from Hungary, they were invited to northern Poland by duke Konrad II of Mazovia, to fight against Pagan Prussians.

    I have some “mocani” ancestry from Țara Bârsei/Burzerland, a beautiful and rich history land.

    My Romanian side is from the area too. I’m still trying to figure out the genetic makeup of the region since I got odd results on AncestryDNA and haven’t seen many Transylvanian test examples. I’m awaiting 23andme results which might shed some light.

    I recommend you a genealogical research, not a genetic one; romanians are pretty homogeneous!
    Now i trace my ancestry since 1776; with the Russian Army census, and with the Moldavian “Catagrafii” from 1820. A lot of my Moldavian roots from Bacau are in fact old Transylvanian immigrant (1650-1750).. it was amazing to discover this things!
    But, of course it would be interesting discover the genetic makeup of the area! Some saxons for some reason admix with Romanians and strengely with gypsy too. (sure, they are isolated cases, but not so rare)
