The Rus-law U5 halpotype - haploid genotype.

The Rus-law U5 halpotype - haploid genotype.

I've discovered very common links with Rus or Rhos people of Sweden and the U5 halpotype found in Sicily today. I found historical documentation that links the noble family 'Trigona' to ancient Swedish origin. These people were identified as a Germanic tribe called Swedes by the Frankish authorities then - linked to the Swedish coastal area of Roslagen (Rus-law) or Roden.

This discovery ties well with where the U5 halpotype is mostly found today, history in the Mediterranean dating back to the 11th century and our family's mtdna U5a1a results today.

The Roden U5 halpotype - haploid genotype.

Normanist theory: Kievan Rus' U5 halpotype - haploid genotype.

The Roden U5 halpotype - haploid genotype.

The people called Rus in the form of Rhos dates back to year 839 AD - Kievan Rus' U5 halpotype. Linked to the Swedish coastal area of Roslagen (Rus-law) or Roden. Finnish name for Sweden (Ruotsi) is derived from an Old Norse term for "the men who row" (rods-). identified as a Germanic tribe called Swedes by the Frankish authorities.

Norman period (11th century AD)

My U5a1a comes a town originated around the Benedictine monastery of Santa Croce di Santo Stefano in Val Demone, established in the Norman period (11th century AD) late 1090s - under Roger I of Sicily of Hauteville-la-Guichard - Hauteville family.

U5a1a# were found in Normandy and Morbihan:

U5a1a# were found in Normandy and Morbihan:

Our French study has also permitted to suggest information on the spread and/or origin of specific European haplogroups. This is the case of haplogroup U5a1a, for which the regional origin remains unclear, and that is reported to have differentiated very recently (between 2200 and 12 800 BP).9 The fact that three different haplotypes belonging to U5a1a# were found in Normandy and Morbihan suggests that this haplogroup appeared in north-western Europe: it would have subsequently spread across Europe from this centre. One part of U5a1a would have reached the Near East, and certainly subsequently back-migrated into Europe, as suggested by Richards et al9 Then, haplogroup U8 was found principally in Alpine and north-eastern European regions.9,22 Although it was previously described as diversity-free in most cases, U8 exhibits diversity in our Var sample. The age estimate of this cluster is 44 400plusminus27 010 years BP (calculated as in Saillard et al32 with Network 3.0 – http://www.fluxus-engineering.com, including all the 12 haplotypes previously described,9,22 and the three haplotypes from Var), and clearly shows that this cluster is of Palaeolithic origin. Haplogroup U8 has most probably differentiated on the west central Mediterranean coast during the Upper Palaeolithic, and has subsequently migrated into north-eastern Europe (possibly via Alpine region), during the population re-expansions that occurred after the LGM. Thus, this cluster suggests that the French Mediterranean coast acted as a refugium during the LGM, and indicates that, as well as haplogroup V, some other clusters have differentiated in Western Europe during the Upper Palaeolithic and could be taken into account to evaluate the impact of the post-LGM expansion on the present-day European gene pool.

Giovanni John Raciti:

CQUniversity Sydney Digital Innovation lecturer John Raciti has his finger on the pulse of industry trends thanks to his work as a user interface (UI) designer at the ASX-listed Rubik Financial Ltd.

Mr Raciti works on prototypes for banking software development products - in other words the iphone, mobile and computer screen designs that help people use the latest technological platforms.

John Raciti is at the forefront of industry trends

He has recently developed (and applied for a patent for) a new portal interface for banking which can be used in any industry and which has the potential to revolutionise UI use in software development.

Back in 2006 when only 29, Mr Raciti was recognised by being elected a Fellow of The Royal Society of Arts, FRSA, in London.

He was awarded this honor based on previous merits - in degrees he was awarded at a university postgraduate level and for outstanding work and contribution to Australian arts education in both Melbourne and Sydney, and in the Catholic and public communities.

As a designer at Rubik Financial Limited, John Raciti (BA(Craft) 1997) develops prototypes for banking software that are used on devices like mobile phones and computer screens. He was also recently bestowed a Knighthood of the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem in Malta.
