My mtDNA - Results
Haplogroup - L2a
Here is my Origin
Part of the L cluster of haplogroups, which has been concretely characterized as representing the original human mitochondrial lineage, haplogroup L2a is found in Africa. This haplogroup dates to approximately 55,000 years ago, and is detected in highest frequency in north, west, and central Africa. Future work will further document the historical distribution of this haplogroup and closely related haplogroups of the L cluster.
For Faily Tree DNA to identify a specific subclade of L2a and its ancient migration history, I will need to upgrade to the mtDNA Full Sequence test with this company. Learn more.

What is the Reconstructed Sapiens Reference Sequence (RSRS)?
The Reconstructed Sapiens Reference Sequence (RSRS) is a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)reference sequence that uses both a global sampling of modern human samples and samples from ancient hominids. It was introduced in early 2012 as a replacement for the rCRS (revised Cambridge Reference Sequence). Because it is based on the likely modal haplotype of the common ancestor to both modern humans and such ancient groups as the Neanderthals, it shows an unbiased path back from any one modern mtDNA sequence to our distant common maternal ancestor.
Do you remember me telling you that many Native American Group do not show up in DNA test due to not enough information about these groups are in the National Data Base? This could be why I have a "G" result but is not on the chart. Groups "A" and "C" is on the map coming across Asia and Alaska into the Unites States. They are probably Native American Groups.
mtDNA is the genetic material found in mitochondria. It is passed down from females to both sons and daughters, but sons do not pass down their mother’s mtDNA to their children.
This test was taken by FamilyTreeDNA. I have a test coming from another company. We will look at that test and compare in about 3 months.
