The Aba Clan

The Aba clan was among the founding kindreds of the Hungarian kingdom and gave the country King Samuel Aba in the eleventh century. For four hundred years they held vast estates in northern Hungary and repeatedly challenged royal power. Burials from their monastery at Abasár provide a genomic cross-section of a medieval magnate family across many generations.

The genome-wide data behind this entry was published in Genetic analysis of the Aba clan of medieval Hungary.

Every Ancestrify Global25 report includes the free Notable Matches lens: your coordinates are compared to every sequenced member of every catalog entry, and the distance to the closest member is reported — a Euclidean distance in the same 25-dimensional space the Distance lens uses. Because these are a small group of real individuals, not a population average, distances naturally run larger than population distances — that is expected, not a poor result. And one thing is never claimed: a small distance means similar ancestry composition, not that the Aba Clan are your ancestor. See how it looks in the live demo or read about the full G25 analysis.

• 01

  Who were the Aba Clan?

  The Aba Clan (1276–1450 CE, Abasár, Hungary) are one of the Historical figures entries in our Notable Matches catalog, represented by 12 sequenced ancient genomes published in the study "Genetic analysis of the Aba clan of medieval Hungary".

• 02

  What does "matching" the Aba Clan mean?

  Your Global25 coordinates are compared to the entry's sequenced members and the distance to the closest one is reported — a Euclidean distance in the same 25-dimensional reference space the Distance lens uses. A notable entry is one person or one small burial group, not a population average, so distances naturally run larger than population distances.

• 03

  Are they my ancestor?

  No — and no DNA test can show that. A small distance means your genome sits near theirs in a shared reference space: similar ancestry composition, not descent. Ancestrify never claims a notable individual is your ancestor or relative.

• 04

  How do I see my own distance to the Aba Clan?

  Notable Matches is a free lens on every Ancestrify Global25 report — never sold separately. Order the G25 analysis (29.99 EUR), and your report ranks your coordinates against the full catalog, with a portrait, dossier and map for every entry. The public demo shows the lens with example data.
