This thread is dedicated to proposing new famous members of haplogroup R1b-U106 (S21) and its subclades.
So far, confirmed R1b-U106 carriers include:
- The House of Bourbon
- The House of Wettin
- James K. Polk (L48+ according to the Polk-Pollock DNA Project)
- Ulysses S. Grant (U106 > L47 > Z159 according to the Grant DNA Project)
- James D. Watson
- J. Craig Venter
Here are a few prospective carriers that should be further investigated.
- Alexander Graham Bell : Scottish members of the Bell DNA Project are almost all R1b-U106 (mostly L1/S26 subclade). They even grouped many participants under the title "Alexander Bell 1848", which could mean that this is the presumed lineage of the co-inventor of the telephone (although he was actually born in 1847). Unfortunately no information is provided.
