My maternal haplogroup in early hungarians according to 23andme

U4 in Hungary

U4 likely spread to Hungary with the Magyars.
Recent research suggests that during ancient times, conquering armies carried haplogroup U4 to new parts of the world. In Hungary, the haplogroup has been found at levels of 18% in DNA isolated from the 10th and 11th century tombs of Magyar conquerors who invaded the country around the turn of the 10th century. Yet U4 was nonexistent in the graves of commoners who were buried at that time, and it is present at levels of only about 4% among Hungarians today. That pattern suggests that the Magyars, who introduced their language to Hungary, were never very numerous in spite of their cultural influence. It also helps explain why Hungarians have a language that is distinct from other eastern European tongues, even though they are fairly similar to their neighbors genetically.

Try this to go a bit further for your clade.

Ftdna is excellent for this because it gives you a list of your matches through mtdna

Even wegene I think gives you a more detailed clade

Cool, it's a bit different from mine, mostly found in Scandinavia and British isles.

I have the same mtDNA as the Magyar leader in that study. Also same Y. You jealous?

No, maternal haplogroups cannot be linked to ethnicities, it belong to Mesolithic European hunter-gatherers:

Specific subclades and branches can still have clusters which fall under specific ethnicities.

They do but one needs to do deeper testing and not rely on 23andme result. I did deeper mtdna test and all matches are Slavs which makes sense
