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...
I've just bought the Colin Renfrew festschrift "Traces of Ancestry ..", and have been reading the article by Forster et.al. "MtDNA Markers for Celtic and...
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...
Thanks, that's pretty much what I suspected. Geneticists seem to have had a tendency to jump the gun where J mtDNA is concerned. Bryan Sykes doesn't usually...
There is no word yet on Dr. Hammer's paper. We are still anxiously waiting notice. Please note, I believe that this paper is Y-DNA only and will not have any...
Hi all, I am new to this group. I have doing my family's genealogy for the last several years and then decided to take the FamilyTreeDna mtDNA test. My...
Darren, I am also Ashkenazi J1, family from Lithuania. As Jim's posts have suggested it would be important to test for HVR 2 not only to predict your J1...
For more information on Jewish Mtdna see Elaine Levy Coffman's "A Mosaic Of People: The Jewish Story And A Reassessment Of THe Dna Evidence"--section on Mtdna ...
I agree with Josh about the importance of testing HVR2 as well as HVR1. When I had only tested HVR1, the few matches I got seemed to be only of Scottish or...
Hello, I've been a member for a while, but my first time to post. My HVR1 and HVR2 test was provided through Family Tree DNA. They sent a Haplogroup ...
Carolyn: The 462T puts you in the J1 category, and with 185A and 228A, you are probably J1c. ==== J. J. (Jim) Logan Group Administrator, J1mtDNA, FxGS, and...
Carolyn: The 462T places you in the J1 branch and the 185A and 228A are typical of J1c. Other values are typical of haplogroup J in general. ==== J. J. (Jim)...
Thanks Harry and Josh for your advice. So, if I want to test the HRV2 test, what upgrade am I supposed to choose? Also, does the HRV2 test just help to...
Darren- The more you know about the variance in your mitochodrial DNA the more you know about your anthropological background. However, you need to understand...
Rob, a couple of questions. Is Behar unjustified in claiming that J entered the Ashkenazi population from Slavic sources more recently than 2000 years ago ...
Josh- You raise a good question but one never gets a simple answer from a scientist. We are all professional skeptics and science works by having claims...
Hello, just wanted to add a link to an interesting article I came across last night. http://www.jogg.info/11/coffman.htm. In this article the evidence...
Starting from the data I collected and analyzed to produce the mtDNA J phylogenetic tree, I have completed a first draft of calculations for the ages of the...
Am I understanding correctly that my J2 clade appears to be 51 K old? Wowzers. Interesting there are four of us matching HVR1 and HVR2 in this database and...
I am suggesting that the J2 haplogroup originated about 51 thousand years ago or earlier, under the assumption that the mutation rate is the one I am using. I...
Thanks for the clarification. There's a lot to learn about this and its not my field! ... Hannah Lloyd BGS CSAC Dr. Lewis Weber & Associates Tanglewood West...
I have just constructed a table that shows the relationship between ethnic origins and the clades of mtDNA Hg J. The data is from the same 111 full genome...
I am J1a FTDNA (converted to J2a1 by Jim) I very closely match Hannah Loyds mtdna and can vouch I was born with very very blonde hair and blue eyes. However,...
I also have near matches with Sephardi, one of them being in Macedonia, where I believe there are hardly any left due to WWII where they were driven out or...
Jim, Since Portugal has a record, you can probably also add my record for Romania
(J1c1) since I have the FGS and also submitted the results to GenBank. ...
