What is your maternal DNA? MtDNA locations.

**Alenka** · 11-23-2025, 12:54 AM

N1b2 according to 23andMe.
N1b1b according to LivingDNA.

Looks like I would have to do a mtDNA-specific test to know for sure.
But its certaily some clade of N.

Location: Slovenia, but this direct maternal line of mine is not ethnically Slovene, its Jewish.

LivingDna’s haplogroups are more accurate than 23andMe which makes me think their autosomal raw data is probably better too

I'm U3. There's an Israelite/Jewish man from the Roman period of Palestine also had U3 like me.

My mtDNA is H1c12.

My earliest known mtDNA ancestress was from 1700's Virginia.

I now have 13 FTDNA mtDNA matches.

Their mtDNA lines are listed as "Unknown Origin", United States, Wales, Ireland, and United Kingdom.

Seems like you have a bit of Genghis Khan blood running through those veins huh ?

You are thinking of Y-DNA N (M231) which is Mong.

But mtDNA N1 is an entirely different thing.

Oh darn it, that 1 added in front of the "N" makes a ton of difference lol

What can you tell about your mtDNA?

The discovery of U5a1 in ancient Mongolia challenges previous assumptions about the Altai Mountains being a major barrier to gene flow and indicates that people with this "western" mtDNA lineage lived on the Steppe before the Bronze Age. (c) AI
