What is your mtDNA Haplogroup

What is your mtDNA Haplogroup. We already have a poll for our yDNA Haplogroup, now the ladies can participate.

Of course, there are more mtDNA Haplogroups than yDNA Haplogroups given the different reproductive patterns of men and women, so the poll is necessarily broader.

I am U5a2c, which is found mostly in northern Europe and has its highest concentration amongst the Lapps.

Thanks, mom!

I cannot believe only three people posted. Is nobody interested in their direct maternal ancestry? The identical question with respect to direct paternal ancestry received more responses by an order of magnitude.

I've only just seen this myself, keep your shirt on!

I posted this Thread a while back. I accidentally pressed HV on the poll, when I am, in fact H.

I would love to know more about my maternal line, but since it's Irish and the Four Courts were destroyed by the IRA, I don't like my chances of finding any more out for the moment. I would, however, like to go to my ancestral home and hopefully have the time to do my own research. There is the possibility of the local parish records and such that are still kept.

I am in Haplogroup H, I've had all 3 regions tested. I have 20 exact matches from the same family that came from Region Nordjylland, Denmark in the 1800's.

I am U3, which is reported to originate around the Black Sea area.

Global Distribution of mtDNA.

Seems I've got some more exact matches, one from Finland, another from Sweden, and one from Southeastern England, the Swedish line is related to my Danish matches from North Jutland.
