According to a new report, scientists have done a wonderful job of finding 19 relatives of Otzi, a well-preserved natural mummy of a man who lived about 3,300 BC.

The mummy was found in September 1991 in the Otztal Alps, hence Otzi, near the Similaun mountain and Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy.

Otzi is the Europe's oldest natural human mummy and has offered an unprecedented view of Chalcolithic Europeans.

The researcher from the Institute of Legal Medicine at Innsbruck Medical University found the relatives by taking DNA samples from blood donors in Tyrol in the west of the country.

They managed to match a genetic mutation of Ötzi and of those 19 relatives. The body of Otzi was discovered way back in 1991.

According to experts, the genetic pattern of the Otzi matches with the patterns of the people living in nearly regions of Engadine in Switzerland and the South Tyrol region of Italy.

Walther Parson from the university, said, "We have already found Swiss and Italian partners so that we can pursue our research".

The blood and DNA of about 3,700 blood donors were analyzed. Also, the men were asked to provide their ancestral information.
