I now have a Full Genomic Sequence match with one of my existing 5 high-res matches (J1c). How far back could this match have occurred? My user on mitosearch...
Dan: Congratulations on a FGS match. I am taking the liberty of including the matching person in my response to you. Each of you have contact information for...
Jim, Many thanks for your explanation! I am glad that FGS matches start to appear
Maybe we can persuade our other high-res matches to take the FGS test, even...
Several good questions Bob. I'll try to answer. FTDNA will have to provide the definitive answer for your first question, but I can speculate based on previous...

Last year I read a brief item on one of the DNA forums about research into the remains of the 14th century Italian poet Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca), which ...
Thanks very much for that, Carol. The whole site is very interesting. Incidentally, when you say that you are J1b1, do you mean that in the Stephen Oppenheimer...
The research presented in the paper by Caramelli, et al, is interesting, but I question their classification of the results as mtDNA J2. The 16126C is...
I did think the absence of 16069T was rather strange. Harry ... The research presented in the paper by Caramelli, et al, isinteresting, but I question their ...
... How can I find out? I'm on several lists but have not seen anything about a change in nomenclature. I tested HVR 1 & 2 at FTDNA in 2004 or 2005. At...
There has not been a formal change in nomenclature but rather it has been evolving over the past few years. Based on the HVR1 and HVR2 provided and my...
Jim, I joined this group last November but I do not see my name in the Members list. Nor do I see my my ID in "J_ReClassification.pdf. Please help me with this...
Stephen Oppenheimer, in "The Origins of the British", p.216ff., makes several references to "J1b1-16192", which seems to be what we now call J1c1, and he seems...
I don't have access to Oppenheimer's data and cannot answer your question. I cannot substantiate the significance he places on 16192. When I checked my...
Oppenheimer says on page 216 that "the distribution of the immediate J1b1 ancestor (without the 16192 mutation) in the rest of Europe is diffuse, although it...
I wish I knew too! I'm mainly referring to Oppenheimer's book, which is very controversial, and puzzling too, since, as Jim says, O. doesn't reveal the data on...
In answer to a question by Harry Watson, I wrote: "When I checked my database of 111 full sequence test results (obtained from the scientific literature...
Thanks for these very interesting comments. It's a privilege for us amateurs to be kept informed of cutting-edge research like this. I'm sure we will all be...
I think I have mentioned before that, since having both my HVR1 and HVR2 regions tested, I have discovered several Norwegian and Norwegian-American matches for...
Hello All, I am new to this list, and while familiar with yDNA, have not as much experience with mtDNA. It appears I share your HVR1 & HVR2 mutations, but also...
I have started a genealogical database that lists the female descendants of my most remote known "umbilical" ancestor, Margaret (1620-1689), wife of John Russ...
Harry, You are right, I goofed. I also discovered that while I had properly spaced the entries when I created the email, that somewhere along the way those...

Harry: With all due respects to Forster, I would not put much faith and analysis of mtDNA for Hg J using only HVR1 results. As he says in his paper "The mtDNA...
