Introduction
Haplogroup A arose in Asia almost 60,000 years ago. It is now at its highest levels among Native American groups. Along with several other mitochondrial DNA types found only in Native American and Asians, haplogroup A provides clear evidence that the first people in the New World were migrants from Siberia and eastern Asia.
A in Asia
Haplogroup A is widespread in Asia today, generally occurring at levels below 10% – but it reaches higher concentrations in some parts of China, Korea and Japan. Some ethnic Chinese populations, such as the Dong and the Yi, carry haplogroup A at levels as high as 30%. One branch of the haplogroup, A4, reaches levels of more than 15% among mitochondrial DNA samples collected in the city of Wuhan in central China.
Ancient DNA in Siberia
Haplogroup A was widespread in Siberia as recently as 7,000 years ago. One study of skeletal remains discovered near Siberia's Lake Baikal estimated the haplogroup was present in 13-26% of the region's population at the time. But the haplogroup is rare in the region today; it is found almost exclusively among the Chukchi and the Yupik, two small indigenous groups from northeastern Siberia.
A in the Americas
At the peak of the Ice Age, between about 20,000 and 15,000 years ago, massive glaciers covered much of North America and Eurasia. So much water was locked up in the ice sheets that global sea level dropped 300 feet, creating connections between land masses that are isolated by wide straits or passages today. One of those connections was the Bering land bridge, an ice-free but frigid corridor hundreds of miles wide that linked Siberia and Alaska. Mammoths, bison, caribou and other Ice Age mammals roamed back and forth between Siberia and Alaska during this period, as did a few hardy hunter-gatherers who could cope with the region's extreme climate.
As the Ice Age ended, people began moving south from the Arctic into the heart of North America. Within a few thousand years, possibly even faster, the new arrivals had populated the Western Hemisphere down to the tip of South America.
Coastal Connection
Haplogroup A is especially common among members of the Haida, Nuu-Chah-Nulth, Nuxálk (Bella Coola) and Chumash tribes of the Pacific coast. Humans had certainly reached what is now California by 10,000 years ago, as evidenced by the discovery of skeletal remains on islands off the state's coast that have been radiocarbon dated to that age. Other skeletal remains from near present-day Monterey, California have yielded ancient DNA tracing to the A haplogroup.
Haplogroup A is found in Central America and northern South America, but not farther south. That suggests that however people carrying the haplogroup moved into the Americas, their advance was ultimately impeded by earlier arrivals to the southern continent.
Haplogroup A certainly would have been found among the subjects of the Inca empire, which ruled the northern Andes until the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in 1526. Mitochondrial DNA belonging to the haplogroup was extracted from the "Ice Maiden," the mummified remains of a teenage Inca girl who died in a ritual sacrifice about 500 years ago.
Interior of North America
While the distribution of A is patchier in the interior of North America, it does appear at high frequencies in many populations, particularly in the American Southwest, northern plains, and the southeastern United States.
About 50-60% of individuals from the Navajo and Apache carry haplogroup A, while their neighbors rarely carry this haplogroup. Interestingly, the Navajo and Apache are both southern Athapaskan speakers that appear to have migrated from a homeland further north to the American Southwest only about 500 years ago. Athapaskan-speakers still reside in Alaska and Canada. Although they have adapted to the desert climate and the Pueblo lifestyle (at least the Navajo), their mitochondrial diversity still records their northern heritage.
Haplogroup A is also common in Algonquian-speaking populations from the Plains region of the United States and Canada, ranging from 30%-60%. Ojibwa/Chippewa, Cheyenne and Arapaho were all historically Algonquian-speaking populations from the Plains region and Great Lakes of United States and Canada.
Iroquioan-speaking groups such as the Mohawk also carry haplogroup group A at high frequencies (60%). It is not clear if this indicates that the Mohawk historically married women from other northern tribes or if the high frequency of A represents a recent bottleneck in the population. Iroquois from further south (e.g. Cherokee) have much lower frequencies of haplogroup A.
Haplogroup A is also quite common in Muskogean-speaking populations from the southeastern United States, reaching almost 75% in the Choctaw historically from Mississippi and 60% in the Seminoles of Florida. Genetic types in these southeastern populations are different from other haplogroup A individuals throughout North America. This indicates that haplogroup A in the southeastern populations is the result of ancient common ancestry with the other Native Americans, rather than recent gene flow. Southeastern populations also display relatively low genetic diversity, indicative that the population size may have crashed after contact with European explorers.
The Polar Route
A second migration of haplogroup A members into North America appears to have occurred more recently, as Eskimo-Aleut populations moved eastward from Siberia into Arctic Canada and Greenland about 5,000 to 6,500 years ago. That migration is marked by the wide distribution of A2 from the Haida on the Pacific coast of Canada to the Inuit in Greenland, where the subgroup accounts for 100% of the population.

from 23andme:
Haplogroup: T2, a subgroup of T
Age: less than 33,000 years
Region: Europe, Near East
Example Populations: Northern Europeans, Spanish
Highlight: The outlaw Jesse James carried mitochondrial DNA from haplogroup T2.; Agriculture
Introduction
Haplogroup T originated in the Near East about 45,000 years ago, not long after humans emerged from Africa. The haplogroup mostly stayed in place until about 15,000 years ago, when the glaciers that had covered much of Eurasia during the Ice Age began to retreat. As Europe's climate warmed and its long-frozen landscape turned green, people began moving north into the Alps and beyond.
Representatives of haplogroup T were among those first post-Ice Age migrants into Europe. Today about 8% of Europeans can trace their maternal ancestry to the haplogroup, although some of them are descended from people who arrived after the advent of agriculture about 10,000 years ago.
Haplogroup T can still be found in the Near East as well, where it reaches levels of about 10% among Palestinians, Turks and Syrians. Over the years it has spawned a number of sub-haplogroups, some of which have notable histories of their own.
Royal T
The mitochondrial DNA of Russia's final Tsar, Nicholas II, falls into the the T haplogroup. According to his genealogical pedigree, which is well-established because of his membership in the European royal house, his maternal ancestry traces back to a 15th-century empress of the Holy Roman Empire who was born in Slovenia.
Haplogroup T2
An offshoot of haplogroup T, T2 has spread over the millennia from its birthplace in the Near East to northeastern Africa and throughout Europe, riding waves of migration that followed the end of the Ice Age and the origin of agriculture. At the tail end of the Ice Age about 13,000 years ago, one migration appears to have carried the T2 haplogroup from the Near East into northern Africa, especially Ethiopia and Egypt. The origin of agriculture in the Fertile Crescent – a horseshoe-shaped region encompassing Mesopotamia, the Levant and the lower Nile Valley – spawned a second migration that carried T2 deep into Europe. Today the haplogroup is widespread, albeit at low levels, in the populations of Scandinavia, Germany, France and Britain.
A particular version of the T2 haplogroup has been detected in 4% of the present-day Spanish population. The same version has also been found in DNA extracted from 7,000-year-old skeletons excavated in northeastern Spain, an indication that the distinctive form of T2 arrived in southwestern Europe about the same time as agriculture.
An offshoot of T2, haplogroup T2a, can be found at low levels in Egypt and the western part of the Arabian Peninsula. Although extremely rare outside the Near East, T2a has been found sporadically in Iberia, France and Norway.
Haplogroup or haplogang?
DNA extracted from teeth and hair found at the original burial site of Jesse James indicates that the famous outlaw's maternal lineage derives from the T2 haplogroup.
