The line, entry by entry
Scroll to walk the ring: each node is a thread from the family record and the DNA report, cited to the research notes it comes from.
Gleb Sviatoslavich
Rurikid dynasty · Chernihiv
A 99% sample match to his Chernihiv burial cluster in the DNA report.
Prince Izyaslav Ignarevych
Kievan Rus
A 99% sample match to the recorded burial — the second Rurikid-grade hit in the report.
King Ladislaus I of Hungary & Croatia
Hungary · Croatia
A 96% sample match the research does not yet explain. Recorded here as it stands.
Karelia & Balts
Origins · Karelia & Courland
One of the four origins: the northern line from Karelia, folded together with the Baltic threads — Courland, home of the Curonians, who read at 12.5% in the report, plus the other Baltic lines at 2.5%, 15% together.
Novgorod thread
Origins · Novgorod
A northern line from Novgorod — the first seat of the Rurikids and later of the Ushkuyniks; the same city that carries its own root on the map below.
Kievan Rus & land of Krivichs
Origins · Kievan Rus
The Slavic core of the line: Kievan Rus and the land of the Krivichs, carrying the Early Slavs and, further back, the Scythian steppe.
Carpathian thread
Origins · Hungary–Ukraine border
A Carpathian line from the Hungary–Ukraine border — the same corner the White Croats and the Ladislaus match point back to.
Swedish · Gotland
Gotland, Sweden
Swedish line via Gotland — 10% in the report, and its own root on the map. The same island stands for the Gothic line — Goth / Ostrogoth at 6%.
Y-chromosome DNA groups

MyTrueAncestry import: two groups, three burials, nine roots
The report reads as two groups — Slavic & Steppe at 69% (Early Slavs 21.5, Scythians/Sarmatians 21.5, Kievan Rus 14.5, White Croats 11.5) and Nordic & Baltic at 31% (Curonians 12.5, Swedish 10, Goth/Ostrogoth 6, Baltic/Oeselian 2.5). Three recorded burials match the sample: Gleb Sviatoslavich 99%, Prince Izyaslav Ignarevych 99%, and King Ladislaus I of Hungary & Croatia at 96% — the last one stays unexplained. The roots map carries nine dots, from the Scythian steppe to the Kryvichi lands.
