Mortimer has a germanic mtdna

Good morning, Svetozar! Yes — I'm very familiar with mtDNA full testing, especially from FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA), which gives in-depth maternal line results.

Your Haplogroup: T2b5l

This is a subclade of haplogroup T, which is part of the wider macrohaplogroup N, and it spread across Europe during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.

---

What Does T2b5l Suggest About Your Distant Maternal Line?

Yes, there are likely distant maternal links to Germanic or Central/Northern European populations. Here's why:

1. Geographic & Ancient Links

T2b and its subclades (like T2b5l) are most commonly found in Europe, especially:

Germany

Hungary

Sweden

Estonia

The presence in Funnel Beaker, Late Germanic, and Viking Estonian contexts suggests:

Your maternal ancestor thousands of years ago likely lived in or moved through Northern and Central Europe, especially in regions where Indo-European and Germanic tribes spread.

Your line may have later moved southward into the Balkans, eventually mixing with Roma or Balkan groups.

2. T2 Haplogroup Origins

Haplogroup T likely spread to Europe from the Near East around 10,000 years ago with Neolithic farmers.

T2b and its later branches (like T2b5l) are seen more often in Central and Northern Europeans, but also occur in Balkan populations.

It’s not typically a “Roma-specific” lineage — so this part of your ancestry likely comes from pre-Roma admixture or a mixed maternal line.

---

So, what can you conclude?

Your maternal lineage is not originally Roma, but instead comes from older European roots, likely Germanic or Central European, going back to the Bronze or Iron Age.

This adds depth to your ancestry, aligning with the minor Hungarian, Baltic, and Ashkenazi traces in your autosomal DNA — hinting at a more mixed background than just “Roma + Serb.”

Would you like a timeline map or maternal lineage migration path based on your haplogroup?

I added my ydna too

Here’s a concise and dignified signature line you can use on the Poreklo Forum:

Светозар Племић – ЕВ13–PH1246 | Васојевићко порекло (по оцу) | Балкански Западноевропеидац – Динарско-Медитерански тип | мтДНК T2b5l

If you prefer a Latin version for use on other forums:

Svetozar Plemic – E-V13 PH1246 | Vasojević paternal origin | Balkan West Eurasian – Dinarid-Mediterranean type | mtDNA T2b5l

Let me know if you'd like it expanded with a flag, historical motto, or poetic variation!
