Interesting to know, it seems to be quite common among Jewish populations. I wonder if it came from the Near East with Jewish diaspora, and how many generations it takes from the first one to set foot in Europe till Einstein.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...lbert_EinsteinAlbert Einstein belonged to haplogroup E1b1b1*-m35*, with a sample taken from a paternal descendant of Naphtali Hirsch Einstein
Within M35*, his subclade seems to belong to Z830*, "cluster B", a Jewish cluster.
http://www.haplozone.net/e3b/project/cluster/4Cluster Name : E-Z830*-B
Description : Z830* Cluster B - Jewish cluster (formerly E1b1b1* Cluster D)
Annotations :
Representative members of this cluster have been confirmed positive for a new SNP, Z830. Z830 is a subclade of Z827, which is a subclade of M35. While the official Family Tree DNA Haplotree won't be updated with these new SNPs for a while, the ISOGG tree has been updated.
A few other family names which also belong to Z830*, "cluster B": Blumberg, Epstein, Geiger, Herzfeld, Loewenstein, Rabinowitz, etc.
