Nice, me to:)

I am H29 and I am sure nobody in this forum nor in ABF and nor in AS has got H29, it's just freaking rare!

Mother truckin' C. Matches were just about split between Europe (Spain, Germany, and Sweden) and the Americas (Caribbean, Brazil, and the U.S.). There was a Sephardic wildcard in there, too. Someone needs to track down and invite one o' those Icelandic C carriers so I'm not the only long-headed C. Or, maybe... Hey, Turks... Y'know, C's Asian... How 'bout lettin' me roll with you all?

You might have Turkic ancestry or Amerindian probably the latter. C is quite common in the Americas.

Besides C having been found in some Icelandic folk, I found this while browsin'.

C is clearly an American or Asian haplogroup, according to 23andme:

Yes mtDNA haplogroup C is found among Icelanders at a low frequency(it's believed it might come from an Amerindian women that came with the Vikings back from the New World) so it's possible it could have ended up in Sweden as well.
