Wanda? 8th mother of Europe?

Wanda co nie chciała Niemca?

West Asian mtDNA.

What makes it "West Asian"?

It is likely either Neolithic EEF or Steppe PIE, depending on subclade.

What is your subclade?

I don't know yet. Maybe W6a because most of my matches are W6a:

Haplogroup W is believed to have originated around 23,900 years ago in Western Asia. It is descended from the haplogroup N2.

Around 24,000 years ago... I'm interested in more recent times.

Thanks! LOL, so my great-great-great... grandma was Wilma:

Have you tried this?

Not yet, thanks!

Mspf has the same rare mtdna, maybe both from Vandals.

[Petalpusher]

Where is Vandaal?
Wisła, ja Wisła, Grab zgłoś się...

They were definetly in what is now Poland, at some point.

It seems good. Have you seen that?

(From Eupedia)
A study conducted by Maruszak et al. (2014) analysed the mtDNA of 395 elite Polish athletes (213 endurance athletes and 182 power athletes) and 413 sedentary controls and found that haplogroup W is among the most overrepresented mtDNA types among power athletes at the Olympic/World Class level. Haplogroup W5a in particular carries the 16362C mutation, one of the two polymorphisms associated in this study with achieving the elite performance level. Another study by Murakami et al. (2002) associated the same 16362C polymorphism and 16223T (found in all members of haplogroup W) with higher training responsiveness. Three other polymorphisms were associated with increased VO2max, including 199C, which defines the W3a1c, W3a1d and W3b clades.

Yes, I noticed. I guess there is a good chance that Mariusz Pudzianowski is also W:
