What is your mtDNA Haplogroup

I just got mine : H1c1. What does it tell ?

Western European.

Mine is L2a1l2a1. L2a1l2a is apparently exclusive to Ashkenazi Jews and quite rare (estimated 1.5%). I don't really know what to make of it. Maybe I descend from the queen of Sheba.

K2, whatever that is. If my maternal great- grandmother was French genetically, then it would be wise to assume that K2 has a high reading among members of some Western European population.

K is most common in the UK and France within Europe, if you exclude Ashkenazi Jews.

Thank you, but no country in particular ? On 23andme website, it says it did originate in Doggerland which is underwater now !

That sounds pretty cool

It seems my ancestors knew how to swim or i wouldn't be there to be confused about it, giggles. I have never heard of it before, it sounds pretty cool indeed.

Can't tell you for H1c1 in particular but looks to be Bay of Biscay/UK.

Doggerland flooded gradually, and of course the 'cultural territory' would have included lands that are not currently submerged around the North Sea.

It was probably completely underwater by about 8,000 years ago.

Longbowman, do you know maybe the origins of N1a? Cannot find any meanigful info on it.
