Written sources confirm that the Koreiva are Princes (King) - ius sanguinis (by blood law), by birth law. This is confirmed by the genetic studies of Prince Juozas Koreiva carried out in the USA, Houston.

Prince Juozas Koreiva associates a lot of genetic ties with the nobles of Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, England, Scandinavia and other countries.
Genetic studies of Prince Juozas Koreiva's haplogroup in the United States in the male line (Y-DNA) confirmed the authenticity of written historical documents and the identity of Prince Juozas Koreiva with the sovereign prince of Kreva (de facto King of Krivichi) in the male line. In addition, through the male line (Y-DNA), a genetic link and identity of Prince Juozas Koreiva with:
- Robert I (King of Scotland), King of Scotland Robert the Bruce;
- Kings of Scotland and England Stewart (King Stuart (Stewart));
- King Sommerled through genetic links with: McDonald, McDougall;
- Marshall;
- Campbell;

- Craig;
- McKinney;
- Green.
The Y-DNA test also confirms the genetic link between Duke Juozas Koreiva and:
- Princes. Vorontsov;

Genetic studies were carried out in the same way on the female (maternal) line of Prince Juozas Koreiva. The results of the study of Prince Juozas Koreiva on the line (mtDNA) (for female haplogroup T2) showed that he is a genetic (by blood) relative:
- Russian Emperor Nicholas II. Through his mother, the Danish princess Marie Sophie Frederika Dagmar (Maria Feodorovna).
Assuming all relevant pedigrees are correct, this includes all female-line descendants of his female line ancestor Barbara of Celje (1390-1451), wife of Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor.

Many European royals have been found to be of this mtDNA Haplogroup.
- Prince Nikolai Trubetskoy.
- Prince Obolensky.
