Mtdna J2a1a1a2 Research

It is assumed that this is Estrid Sigfastdotter, who lived in the XI century AD. She was an influential and rich woman who lived near Stockholm, in Taby. A series of runestones found in the burial site tells about her life and family. She lived a very long life for those times – about 80 years. This is despite the fact that in the Viking Age, life expectancy was only 35 years. The appearance of the woman was restored by the remains found near the runestone, established in honor of her first husband, who died in Byzantium. Probably, Estrid was engaged in the improvement of her native land, the construction of roads and bridges Here you can see where the oldest ancestors with the mtdna haplogroup J lived, i.e. Estrid Sigfastsdotter's haplogroup. Hovering over a point gives information about the ancestor's name, locality and exact haplogroup (many of these are at a more detailed level such as J2a1a1a2). It is not a given that the distribution of a particular haplogroup is the same at the beginning and at the end of a 500-year period. People moved even in the olden days! As the number of people tested rises and we get more historical figures in SHD, the value of such statistics should increase. So continue to enter your family trees in SHD!

DO YOU KNOW THIS WOMAN?

She was known as Estrid Sigfastsdotter and lived in Sweden circa one millennium before our age. Estrid was wife of Östen, a Viking man from Sweden, who traveled to Jerusalem for a Christian pilgrimage and passed through the Roman Empire during the days when the Macedonian Empress Zoe Porphyrogenita (1028-1050) ruled the Roman Republic/Respublica Πολιτεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων in Constantinople. - https://fylgja.ru/wiki/The_age_of_the_Vikings,_2014/7_At_Home_on_th...

Estrid lived during the 11th century and was one of the first Christian women of Scandinavia, her Christian faith spared her corpus from the Viking tradition of burning those who perished and this is the reason why scientists today can reconstruct her face based on the remnants they found in her tomb. - https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Grave_locations_(%C3%96st...

Östen died somewhere in the land of the Romans (Grekland), while Estrid was 30 years old, with many children, mostly sons, to take care of. At a meadow in the Broby bridge, near their farm, she then erected runestones in honor of her husband who died so far from his country. The runic inscription mentions: "Estrid raised stones after Osten, her husband, who went to Jerusalem and died in Greece".

Estrid remarried, lived a fair life with her second husband, went into a pilgrimage in Benedictine monasteries through Germany, where she left her footsteps in a monastery on an island of Lake Constance and became a prominent figure in her region, spending parts of her wealth for the sake of her community. She lived beyond 60 and there is a possibility she reached 80, a remarkable age for the standards of Vikings era where people didn't expect to see their late 30s. She must died around 1080.

Why do we post about Estrid and Östen in BRH? They are not Romans. But their story sums up the history of Nordic Europe for centuries: the nascent Christians left their farms and herds to follow the Christian-God and see the lands the gospels were first preached, thousands of them followed this ancient path from the cold rural Swedish cities to the Middle East aware of the risk of never coming back. Meanwhile, the "Estrids" who used to farewell them knew that this was perhaps an epilogue. In those painful departures, the Roman Empire stood in the middle, a safe haven of civilization for all the pilgrims that passed through "the lands of the Greeks" in their long dangerous journeys and became a soil for all the "Östens" who lost their way.
