Looks like I would have to do a mtDNA-specific test to know for sure.
But its certaily some clade of N.

Location: Slovenia, but this direct maternal line of mine is not ethnically Slovene, its Jewish.

23andMe assigns me N1b1b..have not tried LivingDNA, but third party uploads give me N1b1a2. Seems there are some unknowns, possibly several not-fully resolved N1b subclades out there that these places are having trouble exactly pinpointing in some cases.

J1c-C16261T- Bulgaria

H14b, mom's from north-central Moldova region, northeast Romania.

I don't know the precise subclade.

on the yfull page below, this broader haplogroup is found in individuals from the following countries (I excluded US & Canada):

modern:

Spain 9
United Arab Emirates 4
Iran 3
Iraq 3
Turkey 3
Albania 3
Italy 3
Pakistan 2
Germany 2
Egypt 1
Morocco 1
Mongolia 1
Russia 1
Syria 1
Armenia 1
France 1


ancient:

Armenia 1
Tuva 1

My Mtdna is J1c1. Unfortunately I have a brick wall on that side in South Carolina with the last name Hunt. Really sucks. I hope to someday break through it.

my dad's:

T2c1a, Hutsul from northern Carpathians. dunno the subclade but the split by country for this broader clade is this:

modern:

Spain 6 (5 Canarians)
Turkey 5
Italy 5
Iraq 4 (2 Jewish, 1 Assyrian, 1 Arab)
Syria 3
Poland 2
Portugal 2
Iran 1
Slovakia 1
Albania 1
Ukraine 1

I now have 13 FTDNA mtDNA matches.

Their mtDNA lines are listed as "Unknown Origin", United States, Wales, Ireland, and United Kingdom.

On a different page over at FTDNA I have only 2 exact matches. One from Wales and one from the United Kingdom.
