MATERNAL HAPLOGROUPS: A Brief Look at Family Tree DNA mt-DNA

What are mtDNA results? How far back can these genetic results trace in history? Watch as Andy Lee explains mtDNA test results from Family Tree DNA.

Explore your genetic genealogy and why maternal haplogroups and paternal haplogroups do not align.

[DesertDreaming]

My Maternal Haplogroup is T1a1.
Can you tell me more about it??
My 23andMe says that my ancestors originated from Eastern Africa.

[Zbest]

Would you be kind enough to tell us on how one figure out MtDna haplogroup from autosomal DNA results.

[samiam]

My maternal haplogroup is H3af. Most widespread in Scandinavia and the Iberian peninsula, according to FTDNA. My direct maternal line traces back genealogically to England in the 17th century.

[maryandrade]

So, I dont know who my father was. So I did the MTDna and got D1f3 and your telling me it does not matter? If all the women in my haplo group came or started from Eve, then why are we even questioning it? This to does not make sence to me. I was told my mtdna traced bac too about 2, 000 years after Eve. Following the D color line it showed the migration of all my migration into the Americas. Where do i find the Y dna? And why is it only the mans dna counts? This is stupid. The men were worse than women, in wham bam thankyou mam, and off to another woman they would go. My how history repeats iself. Mtdna has to count for something.

[RandoomDude]

1:30 is there more on that initial research, where did you get the information from?

[Geekman]

I dont understand my haplogroup I'm indian my haplogroup Mtdna is M30 which I still do not understand where did it come from

[investigatinglife]

Hi, great vid thanks...My maternal haplogroup is j1c1, 99.7% Welsh British, I have Neanderthal + a trace of 0.3% from Mesopotamia, Iran & Caucasus. I'm confused as to how there are no other countries in my map, surely they must have travelled through to Britain from Africa. OR did the neanderthal/early human mix maybe happen in middle east/fertile crescent? Hmmm...Can you suggest anything, thanks :)

[designingthedifference]

Nice video. Questions: how can mtDNA help me in my genealogy research? what are the HVR1 and HVR2 tests? My mother's, mother's, mother's, mother (my gr-gr-grandmother) was orphaned as a child. She was born circa 1866-1870 and lived until 1954. She told living members of my family that while she knows her maiden name was Addis, she does not know the names of her parents. How can mtDNA help me? Or can it?

[margarethinton]

I almost jumped out of my chair when you mentioned you were of the mt K group - I am K1a 11b and you are the first one I found who mentioned this grouping - I would love to hear a bit more on this group - and their travels to Britain which is where my maternal line descends from. From FTDNA I learned that my DNA family were hunter/gatherers who spent time in Iberia and with my Rh Negative blood type this could posssibly be Basque (I am guessing at a lot of this I know). From 'Iberia" it was a quick jump to Eastern Britain - and Norfolk was where my grqandmother's father (William Rush) was born about 1830. BUT that is a lengthy period of time lapse and records are sketchy here. I am grasping at straws here and looking at everything I can find for the needle in the haystack. .

[catherinearrington]

What can you tell me about haplogroup w1?

[burninglight]

I have a question I am U6b1 and I found my ancestor she is the same as me but she was buried as a mummy and some people dig her up she was Guanches so what I want to know she is a great great great great mother or farther down the line. How close are we related.

[jenniferyoung]

I’m T2b, which puzzles me because my maternal line is fairly direct through Ireland. Any information on why this would be?

[chrisdevos]

My maternal haplogroup is L4 which apparently never left Africa nor did it branch out into any other group. My forefathers came from Belgium to South Africa. How do you explain that? L4 is one of the oldest haplogroups in the world and proceed L0 only by a couple of 1000 years.

[razatiger]

Nice im Haplo group L2, does that make my lineage one of the oldest in history?

[Falling_Star_Catcher]

My maternal haplogroup is U5b2a. Originated from group L then to L3 then N, R, and of course U.

[menew_mind_life_designs]

Question 🙋🏽‍♀️ My maternal haplogroup is X2…according to 23andMe. The confusing part is that it says I am a descendant of females from Africa; my mom that claims to be my biological mother is definitely Caucasian. So, Is this a possible mistake or is she lying to me about being my mother?

[sherrygorman]

Since I am female and have no brothers, Im still interested in my fathers paternal haplogroup but he is deceased.
If I have a male paternal 1st cousin, would his paternal haplogroup be the same as my dad? His father and my father were full brothers.

[alanheadrick]

Thanks!

So if I understand correctly, a brother and sister should have the same maternal Haplogroup? I have been watching for any DNA matches to show up with C1a and never seen any on 23andme on GEDmatch. Seems odd, but maybe not enough people tested yet.

[TheXanian]

MT-haplogroups ABCD aren’t just limited to the Americas, they are quite common in North and East Asia too.

[sherrylelee]

My Question is about my mitrocondrial hapologroup W5a2 - haven’t come across anyone else with the same. Would you be able to tell me where W5a2 originated from? Thank you 🙏🏻
