Origins of our Q1b Haplogroup Including Goldfoots
This is disappointing news for me as I have been thinking that we are from the royal house of Khazaria. We need to find a body labeled as a Jewish Khazarian of the royal house to test for dna. It is a logical conclusion, though.
There is no DNA information for the Khazarians yet available to corroborate this theory. A few years ago we thought the Khazarians were the source of our Q-ness. But now that we know we are Q1b there are better explanations for the source of our Q1b yDNA. Clearly there was a Khazarian conversion. Clearly they are good suspects for the source of some the the dna among Northern European Jewish people. (Stocky body, red hair, blue-green eyes.)
However, there is zero support for any conclusion that the Khazars were the source for our Q1b. In fact, it makes no sense at all. Nearly every European Q1b does have Jewish roots. Yet we know the Khazars in great numbers merged into the peoples who now live in Hungary. Yet there are no known Q1b’s who are non-Jewish Hungarians.This leads to the conclusion that the Khazars had nothing to do with Q1b.This does not mean you did not have Khazarian ancestors. It just means that Q1b is not proof of that connection.
