My DNA sequencing results indicate my ancestry is the Zhang family of Wu County. Ironically, I share a common ancestor with the Zhao family, a distant descendant of the Aisin Gioro imperial family. Even more ironically, this Zhao family does not share a common ancestor with the Aisin Gioro imperial family. This is not surprising. The Manchu ethnicity is primarily a culturally and historically significant group; genetic sequencing makes it difficult to distinguish between Han and Manchu ethnicities. However, the Aisin Gioro family of the Qing dynasty uses the C2b1a gene, which is highly homologous to the Buryat people of Siberia, clearly distinguishing them from the mainstream Manchu population.
