What is your mtDNA Haplogroup

[Maintenance]

J master race

[Blanka]

The very common H, but just because it's fun, let's decorate it like a Christmas tree:

H11a2a

My cluster is the northern part of Sweden and Norway, and Scotland.

H11a2a

My cluster is the northern part of Sweden and Norway, and Scotland.

Interesting. My Mtdna just goes up to H11a2 with full sequence. Our closest clustered matches are 2 unknowns, one Italian, and one Norwegian and a person from England. I am obv the Albanian kit.

There are several different clusters in Europe upstream, downstream as well as others with the designation I have. HVR1 (with both H11a2a and H11a2a1) is mainly in Scandinavia and the UK with stray hits in Germany and France. HVR2 and full sequence shows Sweden, Norway and Scotland (H11a2a). Interestingly there are greater distances within Sweden, than outside. I have direct matches in Norway and one step to Scotland, and naturally a number of direct matches in Sweden too, but the perhaps best known H11a2a, the Burträsk one, is two steps away.

Mtdna full sequence H11a1 which is obviously Slavic and I am a Slav.

Very interesting. I wonder how it got to Albania. My matches range from all over northern and western and eastern Europe, to southern Europe. Judging by some of my closest matches I am guessing Austro-Hungarian Empire?

Are you could at interpreting? I can't tell for the life of me how to interpret the distance between me and the other samples.

I'm leaning on the full test I did because that told me the distances within the group. The other information I have is from the Swedish DNA project and their 2016 December issue where they went over H11a2a-C16519T in northern Europe. Here's a map over the haplogroup with its mutations:



I belong to the un-mutated branch, and I have hits in the downstream H11a2a1, all with origins on the British Isles, too. Just how that happens and the precise migration of the carriers of this haplogroup and when mutations occurred is somewhat of a mystery. I have an idea, but it's not something that I'm holding as truth, simply a private speculation. For now I can only hope more people will test so we can get more insight.

If you tested with FTDNA, joining the H11 project might be a good idea. I don't know how productive James Lick's site would be, but you could look into that as well. (x) I have only double checked my FTDNA results using that site myself.
