Adel Genera Bure has no right to its name. DNA tests reveal a scam from the 1600s. It changes the story of the fabled dynasty. The three brothers Andrew, Jonas and Olof Bure as everyone was knighted in the 1620s should not be called Bure.
– All three were certainly very competent men. But they knighted named Bure’s because they made up a branch of the family, says Peter Sjölund, chairman of Härnösands genealogists.
He has led a study has used modern technology to reveal the brothers’ scam.
Andreas Bure based land survey, Jonas Bure was the National Heritage and Olof Bure was personal physician to Gustavus Adolphus. They claimed that they belonged to Bure dynasty was no accident. It is one of Sweden’s most legendary families, and in the 1600s there were many who claimed to belong to it.
family’s story begins with a unique and serious investigation of relatives of National Heritage John Bureus. Using interviews, he managed to identify the family back to the 1400s in the work “About Bura name and lineage.” Then built the second out and was looking names on old rune stones that could have been the ancestors. Some genealogies going back to Odin.
– It has really disturbed historiography here in the north, because you have found out as much myths. When it is now possible with new technology to check out what is true and not, we have to take that chance, says Peter Sjölund.
Relatives researchers succeeded locate the three men through direct male lines were descendants of the three brothers in 1400 in the initial genera Bure, and three men descended from a man in the noble Bure dynasty. The men’s DNA was sent to an American company that does genetic testing for individuals.
Y chromosome is inherited unchanged from father to son, and the results showed that the men of the noble branch is not descended from the same ancestor as the men in the real Bure dynasty. The three brothers Andrew, Jonas, and Olaf’s great-great grandfather was therefore not at all a Bure as they claimed.
– It feels good to be able to use science to finally find out how it was said Peter Sjölund.
