Genome sequencing found the strongest connection with people living in present day North Rhine-Westphalia. https://www.mpg.de/20022296/0320-evan-beethoven-s-genome-150495-x https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/22/health/beethoven-death-dna-hair.html https://www.snopes.com/articles/459202/was-beethoven-black/ https://openthemagazine.com/feature/ludwig-van-beethoven-the-dna-symphony/ https://twitter.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1416957373856501762

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1720499983311352157
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
