This BMC article gives an interesting study linking together historical and genetic data. By looking at the Y-chromosome diversity in the Brazilian population they are able to discern ancestry of male immigrants into the population. They see variation in different areas, reprinting migrants from different areas, which connect well to historical information about colonisation of Brazil. This is a useful way to compare and contrast the maternal and paternal lineages of populations particularly in areas which have a long history of migration.
