Welcome to the Prussia/Preußen DNA Project This Project's main Focus is the identification and investigation of the single parental Lineages of the People which inhabited and originated in the Lands Controlled Claimed and incorporated by the Kingdom of Prussia and later German Empire. It is Important to mention since The Kingdom of Prussia or/and other Political Entities named Prussia within the German Empire are not existing anymore the lands and territories this Project Aims to cover are including the maximal possible claimed lands. this is not a Political statement of any kind but rather a more flexible approach and an attempt to include participants which may not be sure if they actually belong to the Lands claimed by the various Prussian and Later German Political Entities. Since the Borders in North Central Europe shifted quite frequently during the second millennium, the lands covered in this project may surprisingly for some, include members originating in the majority of present day Poland, Russia (Former East Prussia) Lithuania and even Belarus. Maps of Various stages of development of the Prussian Kingdom and German Empire Controlled and Claimed lands will be Published in the Project's pages.
