Hello fellow descendant of Ulrike. What would you like to know about our clan?
From your posting, you said you were born in England. Ulrike's descendants in the British Isles are the genetic reminders of invasions of the Dark Ages, (either of the Anglo Saxons or the Vikings--it depends on the exact sequences that someone has.)
In my case, I have the mutations 179T and 356C. This puts me with the Anglo-Saxons, as my sequence has been found in Germany, the UK, the Alps, and the Balkans. That last might be a little strange, but I have since found out that Saxons were the elite mercantile class throughout the Balkans and in Romania in particular.
Other sequences of U4 DNA are more associated with the Vikings, as U4 in general is more often found in areas settled by the Vikings--even down into Iraq and India.
Does that answer your question?
