[edit] Thomas Jefferson
- Main article: Jefferson DNA Data
Direct male-line of United States president Thomas Jefferson were DNA tested in an attempt to prove that Jefferson fathered children with at least one of his slaves. Jefferson belongs to Haplogroup K.

[edit] Genghis Khan
DNA purported to be from Ghengis Khan does not have the benefit of near and easily documented lineages and some question how accurate the articles relaying the information are.
According to The Genetic Legacy of the Mongols[1], Genghis Khan is believed to have belonged to Haplogroup C.

[edit] Niall of the Nine Hostages
A recent study conducted at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland[4] found that a striking percentage of men in Ireland (and quite a few in Scotland) share the same Y chromosome, suggesting that the 5th-century warlord known as "Niall of the Nine Hostages" may be the ancestor of one in 12 Irishmen. Niall established a dynasty of powerful chieftains that dominated the island for six centuries. Niall belongs to Haplogroup R1b.
