There was a picture in my newspaper yesterday of an Indian woman of seventy who had just had her first baby. She had been "trying for a baby" for years! ...
I haven't asked about this J1c profile for a while. In particular has anyone determined why this profile is almost as common at Sorenson as the same without...
I don't know the answer to your question, John, but as I've mentioned before, you are the only person I have found so far who matches me 10 mutations out of 10...
John: 16163G is apparently rather rare in Haplogroup J. Of 178 full genome sequences I extracted from Genbank, I did not find a single instance. In the...
Jim you've slightly overstated your case. Yes there are indeed a lot of one step mismatches; but only 103 of them match everywhere except at 16163. IOW this...

Hannah: Yes and no. It is true that Y-DNA is easier to work with and provides more discrimination than mtDNA. However, Y-DNA is indicative only of paternal...
John and others with a J3 designation form FTDNA: I contacted Family Tree DNA and asked about the motif for J3. I told them that from my research I could find...
I did the NatGeo Genographic Project about six months ago and was slightly disappointed being in J*; such a broad haplogroup! So I retested with FTDNA. To my...
We are exact matches except I have a 309.1C and I'm a haplogroup J1c according to FTDNA. I don't know if that one extra mutation makes the difference. My...
The last I knew, FTDNA does not consider HVR2 results in establishing an initial classification. For those with the Mega (FGS) test, they do a more detailed...
Ok, Jim. Here's another question. I note that I'm the only J2 listed at FTDNA matches but Mitosearch has a whole slew of them. I wonder how come I don't seem...
The 309.1C is a "homoplasmy", that is it occurs is multiple clades. Furthermore it is not consistent within a grade. It should not be used for general...
But I would be more closely related to someone with whom I share all of my HVR1 and HVR2 mutations than I would be to Meg who is missing the 309.1C mutation? ...
I agree. ==================== J. J. (Jim) Logan Group Administrator, J-mtDNA, FxGS. and Logan DNA Projects Owner/Moderator, J-mtDNA and GenGen-NV Discussion...
Hanna: There are a lot of questions about Haplogroup J that really don't have good answers. I believe this is one of them. Haplogroup J2 is rather problematic....
Thanks Jim. That does help me understand a little better as the classification process evolves. So I'll keep looking for updates ! Hannah Lloyd CSAC Dr. Lewis...
Hello Jim, In the J-mtDNA project at FTDNA, you have classified me as a J2b, which surprises me because I thought I was a J2a. my results are: HVR1:...
Ingrid: The short answer is that I goofed. When I did the subgrouping, I may have simply clicked on your kit number at the wrong time. I believe I have...
I wanted to share a bit of personal connections news for my J2b. I e-mailed Jim offlist on this also.Thanks Jim! Another person and I have matches on our FGS...
Jim, Thank you so much for your quick response and, as always, for sharing your expertise with the group. I'm wondering how you arrived to the conclusion of...
Jim, I am a member of the J-mtDNA group on FTDNA but I see my results are listed in the "Unclassified" section of the mtDNA Results table. (My kit number is...
Please see my responses to John's post below. (He originally responded to Joe Merante re: J1c1.) I have denoted my start and end quotes with two << and >>...
I'm new to this genetic genealogy thing, but it seems to me like a lot of people in our group take Oppenheimer's map as gospel while ignoring the "other"...
Thanks for your information. The Vikings get credit or blamed for a lot of our strange DNA patterns. Would this apply to J2 also? Most of my matches are in...
It sounds as if you think that Oppenheimer's map charts the Viking raids on Britain. It doesn't, it charts an alleged movement of J1c1 people to northern...
While your information may seem to conform with www.mitosearch.org <http://www.mitosearch.org> and other databases regarding HVR1+HVR2 and still could be a...
The problem with many studies is they are based on HVR1+HVR2 and done on small populations. Rarely do you see one with 600 people in it from a particular...
