5,379 Global HOLMBERG Family Members

Hi, this is Maija from Sweden. I tested my dna and found to my great suprise that 10% of my dna is Celtic. We have never heard of such ancestor. There are a few Holmbergs in our family tree but we assumed it is a Swedish surname. Who is this Irishman who sailed to Rauma, Finland and when? Could he be the father of Juhana John Kristians son Holmberg? He was born in Finland 24/6 1713.

Hi, I am Maija. My great-great grandmother was Johanna Lovisa Holmberg. Her great- grandfather was called John Kristians son Holmberg. We suspect this Kristian came from Ireland. By sailing ship to Finland. In the beginning of 1700 century. Can you help med with this question?

(Part 1 of 3) The Holmberg name has a long history in Germanic Europe, but now DNA and some recorded history says they were once a part of a much larger tribe from the Emerald Island. The Holmberg story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup B2] can trace their origins to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Holmberg surname origin is from Clan Domnaill [DNA Tribe R1b-L513, Subgroup B1] and relations who remain in Ireland take the modern surname (O’)Donnelly, McDonald and Donohue in Ireland.

(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Domnaill name is also found in Brittany, France. It is a very old name which appears in the 5th century Roman inscriptions as Dumnovellaunos in Brittany meaning “Deep Valour” equivalent to Irish Domhnaill. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Holmberg story pre-dates the main tribe’s settlement in Ireland.
