It’s Been Awhile

Ancestor from 1000 years ago and carrier of H1tc^ Halpogroup

It has been a crazy year and I am so grateful to bring you this post. In the last year I have fought cancer, had emergency life saving surgery, released my 1st album the same day I launched the genealogy podcast on 8/08/2025 Tdr Now and The Heritage Hunters Podcast. Surgery was on 8/23/25 and I am here!!! Sorry for such a long pause…

I have found some new and very interesting ancestors… I will add gallery below for timeline reference…

Apparently I’m from halpogroup H1tc^… out of thousands tested… I am 1 of 5 descendants found on Family Tree DNA. I am the one from Hungary which the side by side photo above is one of my ancestors from Hungary, she was the Queen of Hungary and also my ancestor and we have an uncanny resemblance to each other. I put information for my updated halpogroup below.

Anna of Antioch (c. 1154 – c. 1184), also known as Agnes of Antioch and Anna de Châtillon, was Queen of Hungary from 1172 until 1184 as the first wife of Béla III. (Wikipedia) She was Queen consort of Hungary.

The accidental discovery of her intact tomb during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 provided an opportunity for patriotic demonstrations. She was the only 12th-century Hungarian queen whose remains were studied by scientists, and her appearance was reconstructed.

Queen of Hungary

After marrying Bela III.
The new couple went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem where they made a donation for the Knights Hospitaller. In the summer, after the death of King Stephen III of Hungary (4 March 1172), her husband ascended the throne as King Béla III, and they moved to Hungary. Anna was crowned queen alongside her husband at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Stephen in Székesfehérvár on 13 January 1173.

I’m only posting here so one day when I’m not here my offspring will know who they are and come from… and anyone interested in old families may enjoy as well.
