Modern genetic science keeps astonishing the world by unveiling long-buried secrets of the past.
In the quaint village of Ferste (Harz region, Lower Saxony), a DNA analysis of a local resident proved his lineage has been rooted here for over 3000 years. This isn’t just a tale—it’s a genetic thread spanning millennia.
Longtime Residents with a Millennial Legacy
In the serene village of Ferste, nestled in the picturesque Harz mountains of Lower Saxony, local resident Manfred Huchthausen always viewed his family as true natives.
“We’ve put down roots here ages ago,” he says. “But I had no idea just how far back they went.” The DNA analysis results hit like a thunderbolt: his family history stretches over 3000 years, positioning the Huchthausens among Europe’s oldest continuous lineages.
