About us
We have received 37 marker results for the first four Jurasits participants, and 25 marker results for the 5th participant, all of whom have known ancestry from Szentpeterfa, Hungary.
These five men represent the house names: Istokovi, Bilicskini, and Jivicsini. These houses gave rise to distinct Jurasits lineages which appear to be unrelated based on the paper-based church and civil records of Szentpeterfa.
The DNA results CLEARLY SHOW, however, that all five of the Jurasits men tested do descend from a common male ancestor who appears to have lived within the past 400-450 years.
This is a MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH as it unites the genealogy of all these separate Jurasits houses.
The indicated haplogroup for the Jurasits Y-DNA is known as "R1b1" (an ancient European lineage with roots within Europe extending back up to 40,000 years ago) with an additional strong match to the so-called "Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype" (WAMH).
The WAMH match indicates an area of ancestry in the past 2,000-5,000 years which might be loosely termed "Germanic", as most carriers of the WAMH can trace their deep ancestry back to areas of Europe associated in those times with Saxon and Anglo-Saxon tribes.
This was a mild surprise, as it was previously thought that the results might have shown a connection to Slavic peoples based on the known Croatian heritage of the Jurasits family.
Finally, we have discovered an EXTREMELY rare marker value at location DYS456. This is a virtually UNIQUE result, which will make it much easier to identify perspective relatives in Croatia and Europe as a whole.
