Huns, Avars and conquering Hungarians were Migration Period nomadic groups which arrived in three successive waves in the Carpathian Basin between the 5th and 9th centuries. Based on historical data each of these groups are thought to have arrived from Asia, although their exact origin and relation to other ancient and modern populations has been debated. In this study we have sequenced 9 Hun, 143 Avar and 113 Hungarian conquest period samples, and identified three core populations, representing immigrants from each period, with no recent European ancestry. Our results suggest that this immigrant core of both Huns and Avars originated in present day Mongolia, and their origin can be traced back to Xiongnus. On the other hand, the immigrant core of the conquering Hungarians derived from an earlier admixture of Mansis, early Sarmatians and descendants of late Xiongnus. In addition, we detected shared Hun-related ancestry in numerous Avar and Hungarian conquest period genetic outliers indicating a genetic link between these successive nomadic groups. Aside from the immigrant core groups we identified that the majority of the individuals from each period were local residents, harboring native European ancestry.

Just got these y-DNA tests in the mail. One for my husband (who was adopted), and another for his bio-father (who recently found his own bio-father). With them@both testing, we can prove their connection! Yay! The third is for my father, who also found out recently that his paternal father is not who we thought he was. Looking forward to seeing the results!! 😀 #ydna #genealogy #ancestryresearch #genealogyallthetime https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8Zehipimn/?igshid=32uxghkwv8q1
