Fernan Perez de Andrade “The Good” (1330–1397) and Nuno Freire de Andrade (1431) connect to a Medieval Tyrolean (SZ5, 412–604 AD) from Szolad, Hungary, a Longobard-era settlement occupied by migrating settlers for 20-30 years. The 45 graves, dated by radiocarbon (412–604 AD) and grave goods, reveal a female-to-male ratio of 0.65, suggesting a warrior society. My R1b1a1b1a1a2a1b heritage, tied to this Longobard migration, reflects the iron-strong “weg van vrouwen” (path of women) of the Andrade line, echoing my T2b and R1b resilience.Late Period Ancient Egypt: A Phoenician SurvivorThis exploration brings me to a profound match: Late Period Ancient Egypt (JK2911, 650 BC), with mtDNA M1a1 and Y-DNA J2b1 (M205), sharing 421.16 cM across four SNP chains (largest 17392 SNPs, 120.24 cM) and a 100% closer raw DNA match. This man, buried along the Nile 2,650 years ago, lived during a time of turmoil and opulence, under Assyrian and Persian influence before Alexander’s conquest. His J2b1 haplogroup traces to the Fertile Crescent, while M1a1 suggests eastern African or Near Eastern maternal roots, aligning with a genetic melting pot (Nature Communications, 2025-07-15, on post-Roman Sub-Saharan ancestry increase). His 85% Phoenician affinity confirms my belief: “de Phoenicians zijn niet allemaal vergaan” (“the Phoenicians did not all perish”). This connects to my J1a2a1a2d2b2b2c2a and J2a1 (Stuart) haplogroups, suggesting a surviving Levantine lineage.A Poetic ReflectionAs a 2017 Literatuurprijs winner, I weave this into verse:
From Longobard fields to Egypt’s Nile,
Alemanni’s strength, my spirit’s trial,
Phoenician blood through time does flow,
Truth in my DNA shall grow.Invitation to ExploreJoin me on this journey! Verify these matches with MyTrueAncestry, explore the Haplogroup Globe, and connect on X (
