Hello, I am a new member to your group. I recently learned that my mtDNA haplogroup is J, from ancestry.com. However, when I filled in my sequence results to...
So what are the defining mutations for haplogroup J? Genebase did my testing last year and placed me in Haplogroup J...when I asked Ian Logan to add my...
Carolyn and others. Let me try to answer several questions in one email. It may get a little complex but stay with me. I will be making use of the mtDNA tree I...
Thank you Jim. I've attached parts of the report as to what areas were
tested, and the results they came up with. I noticed the HVR2 test stopped
at 400, so...
Thanks for the report, Carolyn. Yes, I would put money on your being J1c. The data all checks out for the regions and SNPS covered by Genebase. Most of the...
Hello Jo. I'm J1c1, and I do in fact have ankylosing spondylitis. I don't think it's associated with any particular genetic haplogroup, but it can run in...
I tested with FTDNA and my haplogroup is J* I have been matched with some J1s and some J1c1s I assume from 185a,188g,16519c my matches are in Ireland and...
Sharon: Looking directly at your results, I would classify you as an J1c1. I see no basis for suggesting any specific origin. J* is simply the classification...
Jim, Thank you for taking a look at my results JIM and giving me some clarity.By stating who I was matched with based on my results in no way was I implying...
Digest number 111 arrived on Oct. 5, and number 112 on Oct. 19, two weeks later. It would be great if the list could be set to send a digest at least once a...
Carol: The digests are sent out daily, if there is activity. However, activity on the J-mtDNA list is sparse at times, and it just so happened that there was...
In September, Arlene said, "If I had a match like that, I would be doing hand springs and wanting to order autosomal or X chomosomal testing." What are these...
Hello Marcy, join the club, you're asking the questions we all want answered, but I'm afraid Jim will reply that the science has not yet developed to the point...
Hi Harry, Thank you for your response. Something that I hadn't thought about that you brought to my attention: I didn't realize I could have an exact HVR2...
As regards having an exact HVR2 match without an exact HVR1 match - there is another member of this forum who matches me only 4/6 at HVR1, but 10/10 at HVR2....
My wife just received her mtdna results from FTDNA and is haplogroup J*. HVR1 = 16069 T, 16126C HRV2 = 73G, 228A, 263G, 295T, 309.1C, 315.1C, 462T, 482C, 489C ...
Hello, I was wondering if there was a surname project for J1 mtDNA. If so, I can send the surnames in my maternal line. I know the names for the past 9-10...
Jo Nell: That is a very timely question. As of today, the J*-mtDNA and J1-mtDNA at Family Tree DNA have been merged into a single project called simply the...
I don't understand mtDNA surnames...women in our culture do not have surnames. We use our father's surname and later, if we wed, our husband's surname. I am...
Surname are a problem when you are working with maternal ancestry. As distinct from the Y-DNA, the mtDNA does not follow a surname line. Let me give you my way...
Are Spanish and Mexican persons considered Western? And don't children from these cultures take their mother's last name as their own? ... Hannah Lloyd BGS...
I cannot give you an authoritative answer on that. Perhaps some other member can. Historically there have been several western cultures that did have...
Just to add to the mix, in Norway, or at least parts of it, "surnames" were determined by the name of the farm you lived on. So people could live on a farm...
That's interesting. Celtic football club in Glasgow, Scotland, have a Dutch player called Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. The "of" = English 'or'. His name came...
Just thought I would add a P.S. to show you what I mean. My paternal line: Hennum <Kraft-Hennum <Kraft <Hennum <Onstad <Nareim My brother had his DNA...
Stephen: I agree with your interpretation. I would also classify her as a J1c2. As far as I can determine there is no "good source of information for this...
Harry, In Scotland, is a woman's maiden name the same as her mother's maiden name, or does she use her father's surname? I have always heard that my...
