I just joined the group and thought I'd provide some basic info: Recently, through an Ancestry.com MtDNA test I learned I was a member of the haplogroup J with...
Sally: The 16069 and 16126 are strong indicators of Haplogroup J, and the 185 and 228 are typical of J1c. However, the limited range of the test limit the...
This is the FGS result from FTDNA received today. My father was previously mt-J* (High Resolution: HVR1 & HVR2) but is now mt-J1c (Full Genomic Sequence). ...
This is the FGS result from FTDNA received today. My father was previously mt-J* (High Resolution: HVR1 & HVR2) but is now mt-J1c (Full Genomic Sequence). ...
John: I would classify you as a J1c1d. The J* classification by Family Tree DNA was made automatically without consideration of HVR2. When there is a full...
Although the subject has probably already been dealt with more thoroughly and objectively by scholars in the field, I am not familiar with their work, or even...
Hello, I just finished Bryan Sykes' book "Saxons, Vikings and Celts" which you may find to be a good read about the subject. The J group is considered to be...
Hello, I had my mtDNA done through ancestry.com. Below are my results: 73 G 228 A 263 G 295 T 315.1 C 16069 T 16126 C From what I have seen on other sites,...
A lot of people, myself included, have found Sykes's book (called "The Blood of the Isles" in Britain) a very readable introduction to the science of genetic...
Thanks for your suggestion regarding the Bryan Sykes book. Regarding the time frame for the spread of j type mtdna in Europe, and the idea of a sea going and...
Whew! I'm not a scientist, so excuse me if I have a bit of trouble wrapping my brain around some of this. I think it must be very difficult to predict a time...
I'm not a scientist either, but apart from the causitive factors mentioned in your reply, which I haven't considered, it might be easy enough to search for...
Sorry, I don't think the table I copied and pasted into my last post came out as intended. In the original, J*, J1a and J1b1 (=J1c1?) are described as...
Harry: I cannot endorse that table. I believe the table was derived from some outdated studies that used outdated classification motifs. I don't knew the...
If you match this designation according to JLogan's updated posting in the file section, please drop me a note at JimmyG@... . I'd like to compare family...
Would it be fair to say that when current y and mtdna tests are combined they can account for only an idealized maximum of 25% and a more realistic minimum of...
I'm thinking this haplotype attributed to me is a typo. My brother's mtDNA just came through and his was 16090T, otherwise all matched. I thought that the...
Sally: Not necessarily. A given sample taken for mtDNA testing may contain thousands of individual mtDNA molecules. These are not necessarily identical. For...
Jo: Unfortunately there is not enough there to do much except to use the 18069 and 16126 to confirm that you are in the general Haplogoup J category. Although...
Joe Nell: I have had good experience with Family Tree DNA. One reason to recommend them is that for HVR2, they test the full range of 1 through 574. Some of...
Thank you! Â Jo Nell Costello ________________________________ From: J. J. (Jim) Logan <jjlnv@...> To: J-mtDNA@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 7,...
Jim-  Thank you for the prompt reply.   I will be taking the complete mtDNA test through Family Tree DNA which may help to clarify things.  Sally ... ...
I don't know where the 25% number comes from, but I can give you some perspective. The human genome (46 chromosomes) is about 3 billion base pair in size and...
Afterthoughtx, mtDNA and yDNA testing never claimed to reveal one's entire genetic background. What they do demonstrate is your direct lineage along the female...
Jim your post made it sound like all 1000 (at 10 generations) contribute to both the y-dna and the mt-dna. I know you didn't mean that; just this post to make...
Thanks for the clarification John. I was discussing only the autosomal DNA, the 22 pair of the non-sex chromosomes that make up over 95% of the genome and...
Regarding the '25%', I was referring to the direct male or female line of descent symbolized by the underlined figures in the graph, below. I'm not sure I...
