Just got my mtDNA test results!

[Peterski]

According to Family Tree DNA, I have mtDNA haplogroup W:

Any other Apricitians with mtDNA haplogroup W out there ???

I must see where can this haplogroup be found in ancient DNA.

Post your matches map. Plus, ony mtdna "full sequence", not HVR1 or 2, will tell you your specific subclade.

So far, I only ordered the cheaper test "mtDNA Plus".

I will need to upgrade it to "mt Full Sequence" later.

My full sequence showed my specific subclade and very few close matches

Most of my matches are W6a. But this is based on HVR1 + HVR2, so as you say it can be misleading.

Do you think eupedia map is reliable?
This haplo looks Finchurian But there are some dark patches in north Caucasus. Which could be older?

I think it will be the best to check where can this haplogroup be found in ancient DNA.

And this blog is also good when it comes to mtDNA: http://mtdnaatlas.blogspot.com

Which could be older?

Probably North Caucasus. Because this is not a Paleolithic-Mesolithic European haplo.

Here are mtDNA haplos that were common in Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic Europe:

U5b (could be found in areas from Iberia to Lithuania/Latvia/Estonia)
U8 (including U8a and U8c)
U6 (originated in Europe and later migrated to North Africa)
U2 (including U2e and U2d2)
U5a1 (could be found in areas from Russia to Sweden and Germany)
U5a2 (a more western branch of U5a)
U4 (from Russia and Lithuania to Sweden and Germany)
C1g (one sample in Mesolithic Karelia)
K1c (two samples in Mesolithic Greece)

Generally mtDNA haplogroup U was a typical haplo of native European hunter-gatherers.

Most of other mtDNA haplogroups came during Neolithic times and during the Metal Ages.

Cool result. I didnt even know their was a W haplogroup

West Asian mtDNA. What is your subclade?
