Some people who trace their direct maternal or paternal ancestry to a noted historical figure have undergone [[genealogical DNA test]]s and have made their results publicly available. ==Y DNA results== These results are [[Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup|Y-DNA]] [[genealogical DNA test]]s of men who have inferred paternal descent from historical figures. Scientists make the inference as a [[hypothesis]] which could be disproved or improved by future research. ===E=== ====Al Roker==== [[Al Roker]] belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup [[Haplogroup E (Y-DNA)|E]].<ref name="ffdna">[http://www.isogg.org/famoushg.htm], ISOGG</ref> ===J=== ====Matt Lauer==== [[Matt Lauer]] belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup [[Haplogroup J (Y-DNA)|J]].<ref name="ffdna">[http://www.isogg.org/famoushg.htm], ISOGG</ref> ===R1b=== ====John Adams==== [[John Adams]] belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup [[Haplogroup R1b (Y-DNA)|R1b]].<ref name="ffdna">[http://isogg.org/ffdna.htm], ISOGG</ref> ====Colla Uais==== {{main|Colla Uais}} Colla Uais has been deduced as belonging to Y-DNA haplogroup [[Haplogroup R1b (Y-DNA)|R1b]] based on results from DNA projects & as having the following haplotype:<ref name="ffdna"/> {| border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 90%" | [[List of DYS markers|DYS]] | 393 | 390 | 19 | 391 | 385a | 385b | 426 | 388 | 439 | 389i | 392 | 389ii | 458 | 459a | 459b | 455 | 454 | 447 | 437 | 448 | 449 | 464a | 464b | 464c | 464d |- |[[Allele]]s | 13 | 24 | 14 | 10 | 11 | 14 | 12 | 12 | 12 | 13 | 13 | 30 | 18 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 11 | 25 | 15 | 19 | 30 | 15 | 15 | 17 | 17 |} ====Niall of the Nine Hostages==== {{main|Niall of the Nine Hostages}} A recent study conducted at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland<ref>{{cite journal |author=Moore LT, McEvoy B, Cape E, Simms K, Bradley DG |title=A y-chromosome signature of hegemony in gaelic Ireland |journal=Am.
