Moldavian I1

A new article by Alexander Varzari Moldovans - "Paleo-Balkan and Slavic Contributions to the Genetic Pool of Moldavians: Insights from the Y Chromosome". However, the data in the article are old and have long been known from other works of the author.

 In an earlier article "Varzari 2006 Population History of the Dniester-Carpathians Evidence from Alu Insertion and Y-Chromosome Polymorphisms" we see the same data, but with samples of the Gagauz.

 Just from this author published an article - "Varzari 2009 Searching for the Origin of Gagauzes Inferences from Y-Chromosome Analysis". It contained data only for Gagauz.

Unfortunately long Moldavian haplotypes there are also no conclusions difficult to draw. However undoubtedly it is possible to tell that the main share of I1 in this region can be connected with movements of a tribe of Goths to times "Migration Period".

Normans of Continental Europe DNA Project by Dr. Marek Skarbek Kozietulski

The purpose of our DNA Project is to identify descendants of Normans in Continental Europe, i.e. Europe without British Isles and Scandinavian Peninsula. We classify as Normans, people with Haplogroup I1, whose families historically originated in this region. Today, we see six basic waves of their influx into this region: - Prehistoric movements of Nordic tribes in times of “Voelker-Wanderung”. - Early-medieval expansion of Norman conquerors, merchants and mercenaries from the seventh to the eleventh centuries. - Participation of knights with Norman origin in the wars and crusades– from the eleventh to the fifteenth century. - British people of Norman origin serving in mercenary regiments in this part of Europe – from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. - Immigration waves of German and Dutch settlers to Central, Eastern and Southern Europe from the thirteenth to the twentieth century. - Swedish soldiers in the conquests and wars in Central and Eastern Europe from the seventeenth to the eighteenth century.
