or are both needed? Some people converted to Judaism in the past who had no ancient Jewish blood but after hundreds of years and in some cases have married people that do, using DNA is tricky.

Every European has more that 99% of the same genes as Hitler. Does that mean that every European is related to him? Human beings have at least 98% of the same genes as chimpanzees. Does that mean we are all chimps? Hitler was not a Jew! He was an Austrian born of Christian German parents.

Jews appear to be experiencing the same shock a white supremist would if his DNA revealed that his great-great-grandmother was black.

As WE know if a person has a jewish mother, and is raised jewish, he is jewish..Because someone has 'jewish ancestry' or '1/4 or whatever' jewish you are that makes a whole, doesn't mean anything to me. I agree with you..Hitler may have had jewish ancestry but he was by no means JEWISH.

Anyone who hates Hitler is an anti-semite?

Once an ethnic Jew, always a Jew, and that includes Messianic Jews and Jews for Jesus.

And definitely illegitimate. That would entitle ben ass to gazan citizenship!

Even Adolf knew he was 1/4 Jewish because his Grandmother worked as a servant, and her Master was Jewish, and he either raped her or they had an affair

How can these researchers be certain that Hitler had the same bloodline as the relatives they tested. It has been 70 years these relatives may have "mixed" their blood with other races.

Family Tree DNA questions reporting about Hitler’s origins Houston, Texas, August 30, 2010 Family Tree DNA, the largest Y chromosome testing organization for genealogy and ancestry purposes announced today that the interpretation of Hitler’s ancestry given by certain media outlets, based on information released by Jean Paul Mulders and historian Marc Vermeeren, is highly questionable. With a Y chromosome database containing close to 200,000 samples from different populations, Family Tree DNA’s Chief Y-DNA Scientist, Professor Michael Hammer said that “scientific studies as well as records from our own database make it clear that one cannot reach the kind of conclusion featured in the published articles.” Based on Family Tree DNA records, no more than 9% of the populations of Germany and Austria belong to the haplogroup E1b1b, and among those, the vast majority about 80% are not associated with Jewish ancestry. “This data clearly show that just because one person belongs to the branch of the Y chromosome referred to as haplogroup E1b1b, that does not mean the person is likely to be of Jewish ancestry,” said Professor Hammer. Mulders confirmed the misinterpretation of his account with the following statement to Family Tree DNA: “I never wrote that Hitler was a Jew, or that he had a Jewish grandfather. I only wrote that Hitler's haplogroup is E1b1b, being more common among Berbers, Somalian people and Jews than among overall Germans. This, in order to convey that he was not exactly what during the Third Reich would have been called ‘Aryan’ All the rest are speculations of journalists who didn't even take the trouble to read my article, although I had it translated to English especially for this purpose.” Founded in April 2000, Family Tree DNA was the first company to develop the commercial application of DNA testing for genealogical purposes that had previously been available only for academic and scientific research. Today with over 300,000 individual records in its Y-DNA and mt DNA databases and a state of the art Genomics Research Center in Houston, Texas, Family Tree is the prime source for anyone researching recent and distant family ties
