King Sweyn II of Denmark
A number of years ago I was lucky enough to be given a free DNA test. When I had my Mitochondrial DNA test done I discovered that I descended from Haplogroup H and my DNA sequence is 16093 T, 16126, 16304, 16362 and 16270. The DNA sequence which I have I also share with my sisters and their daughters, my mother, her mother and her mother’s sisters as well as any direct female ancestors. Originally I was told that my closest famous relative within my Haplogroup was Marie Antoinette but know I have discovered it is in fact King Sweyn II of Denmark and Tsar Nicolas Romanov are even closer. Other famous people who also share the same haplogroup.

King Sweyn II of Denmark Sweyn II Estridsson Ulfsson, known in Denmark as Svend Estridsen, is often considered to be Denmark’s last Viking king as well as the first medieval one. He died in 1074 and is entombed in Roskilde Cathedral with other Danish kings and queens. His Mitocondrial DNA sequence is 16093C, 16304C and the Haplogroup H.
Christian Cardell Corbet. The July 2008 DNA results of acclaimed Canadian portrait artist Christian Cardell Corbet belong to DNA haplogroup H. His Mitocondrial DNA sequence is 16519C and the Haplogroup H.
Marie Antoinette’s DNA was taken from a lock of her hair cut from her as a child matched DNA believed to be from her son, King Louis XVII. A detailed discussion on the DNA analysis of Marie Antoinette, the putative heart of Louis XVII and Carl Wilhelm Naundorff is available.[33] Her Mitocondrial DNA sequence is 16519C, 152C, 194T, 263G, 315.1C and the Haplogroup H.
Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna of Russia
Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna of Russia, Alexandra Fyodorovna of Hesse and Nicholas II of Russia were DNA tested along with the other bodies in their mass grave. The tests concluded that five of the skeletons were members of one family and four were unrelated. Three of the five were determined to be the children of two parents. The mother was linked to the British royal family, as was Alexandra. The father was determined to be related to several other Romanovs. Scientists said they were more than 99% sure that the remains were those of the Tsar, his family and their attendants. Two skeletons remain unaccounted for: Alexei, the 13-year-old heir to the throne, and one of his sisters, either Maria or Anastasia. Worldwide attention was raised with rumors that Anastasia had survived the murders, but no putative survivors have been proven.
Tsar Nicholas Romanov
Tsar Nicholas Romanov Count Trubetskoy: mtDNA Haplogroup T (16126C, 16169Y*, 16294T, 16296=T,73G, 263G, 315.1C)
Empress Alexandra, Prince Philip: mtDNA Haplogroup H (16111T, 16357C, 263G, 315.1C)
Tsar Nicholas II *Tsar Nicholas has a heteroplasmy, an instance of multiple mitochondrial types together in one cell of an individual: a mutational cell, at 16169Y. The results were the same for Grand Duke Georgij Romanov, his brother.
Prince Philip of the UK, Duke of Edinburgh mtDNA Haplogroup H (16111T, 16357C, 263G, 315.1C) Princess Alice of the UK mtDNA Haplogroup H (16111T, 16357C, 263G, 315.1C)
Since both Empress Alexandra and Prince Philip share the same HVR1+HVR2 result, it can be assumed that their common ancestor Princess Alice had the same.
James McGovern The remains of fighter pilot James “Earthquake McGoon” McGovern Jr. were discovered in Vietnam in 2002 and identified in 2006. McGovern belonged to mtDNA haplogroup H1. His DNA sequence is 16519 and the Haplogroup is H1
