The H4 mtDNA project of FTDNA has been doing some work on how and when various subclades of H4 may have migrated. It is best read from the google doc since we can put several pictures alongside the text. So please follow the link to it to understand it better...

H4a1a1a is not just British Iles! Hi Strudel Many H4a1a1a people are from Uk and Ireland simply because that is where a large numbers of testers come from, plus the USA/Canada/Australia emigration if you have not read the H4 pages on the ftdna mtdna then please see what you think. The link is...

The answer will be probably yes. 23&me test 20% of the mtdna genome and to get your full group it will need the full test. James Lick’s calculator does a great job with the estimates without all of the relevant positions being tested. Whether you get you final full sub clade depends on who...

Hi wickedwise You mother is adopted but you do have Scandinavian too so was she adopted locally in Scandinavia? Are you Ashkenazy on your father’s side?You will be sure that the ethnicity suggested is true because you will have many 1000s of 3-5th cousins. 23&me have many interest groups some of...

Hi Jijel, have you joined the ftdna project? It is probably our best chance of tracking ourselves back! Judith

We are certainly a wierd HG, all over Europe, and hence America too. I am H4a1a1a with 6 extra mutations. The scientists are not so keen to use us and hence tell us where all of the sub clades come from because it is too unclear. So it is up to us amateurs! There is a useful technique we have...

There is his submission tool which I found Ok http://www.ianlogan.co.uk/checker/submission_maker.htm or you can try the written instructions http://www.ianlogan.co.uk/submission.htm Both need you to have a FASTA file from the tester. I never checked that with you first. But without it the...

From this site http://haplogroup.org/page/4/?s=A73G you can see that a number of different H or HV subclades are defined by the A73G mutation. It is good that these sites exist because computers do the searching of databases more quickly and accurately than humans!

http://www.euskomedia.org/PDFAnlt/munibe/aa/200503327335.pdf this paper seems to be the one you have read Arbaso and my basic Spanish plus google translate will get used soon. There are a few more too http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0034417&type=printable...

Arbaso for comparison I am English and my results are sub Sahara 0.92 oceanian 0 Beringian 0.65 ENF 27.6 CHG 19.8 WHG 48.9 Amerindian 0.58 We need to ignore the less than 1% ones but the most significant is your ENF is much higher than mine. I have...

MarieLouise do you know how early your farmers settled in Sweden? H4 is generally everywhere in Europe at a low level and high level means >3% and the ftdna H4 project site has the details where known, but information is not available for every country. CHG is Caucasus hunter gatherer and it...

http://www.heritagedaily.com/2016/12/top-10-archaeological-discoveries-of-2016/113678 item 7 on this list is Neanderthal artwork/temple or what? But it shows that they had AMH concepts too. and the other items in the list are good too

From Friday 13th 23&me have an updated ancestry composition. I can not get it because I have not been transitioned to the new experience with the V4 test. For those of you you are lucky enough to get it what do you think? It tells you which country your ancestor came from and when since 1700...

Hi we are both new to the forum so neither of us can PM yet. When we can we should exchange information. I totally understand your hesitation to pay more when you already know the answer of which group you are in. Can you upload your results to James Licks mt hap analyser and that will tell you...

I wish that the samples sizes wer larger in the original post of this thread. We do not know if the people wer typical of their community either, they could have been a cluster of known immigrants for examples.
