mtDNA U5

[Debnik]

I checked that out, but I don't find any that match my markers except for this ancient dude (as shown in my jpg) and me, my sibs and children. My maternal cousins don't have it because my mother had brothers who don't pass down mt-DNA. And I had no sisters, so my children are it for my family.

Sure lots of U5a's but with those same markers, nope. I've searched for some time. So I was wondering how close of a relative he might have been. Maybe it's not possible to know. Just not finding anyone else was odd. I thought for sure someone, at least in Europe would have the same markers.

My mtDNA haplogroup is U5b2c. I’m stuck on a brick wall for my maternal side, but that side of my tree is from Ireland.

Actually that is his MtDNA believe it or not, and also his mom is quite atypical for an Iraqi, she is quite European looking actually. Plus on his 23andme he scores some minor Finnish, whoever it got there is indeed mysterious. I have told him to test his mom to find it out more in details. His mtDNA is quite rare for the people there, as their mtDNA seems to match with Arabian populations.

I have some Finnic people from Karelia in 23andme in my relatives, i think can be related also with indoeuropean Expansion

I'm U5b2a as well. My mothers side is mainly British background but could have some other elements since she was American. I believe the youtuber "Survive the Jive" is also U5b2a (he's norse and british background).
