I can only trace my mtDNA line back to my 3rd GGrandmother born in Essex, England in 1789. I have not found her maiden name. Her daughters maiden Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:54:35 GMT Pam http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2626 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2626 Thanks all for your replies. I know my mother was half English from her mother's side and that is the source of the mitochondria. Thus the J1c5 would have been Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:45:52 GMT Joanne Englund http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2625 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2625 Hi, I'm pleased to hear of other members with J1C5. My maternal line goes back to Norway, but I find almost no J1C5s from Norway in the lists.

Sorry, J friends about this email, but I was excited about meeting my most distant ancestor and Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:36:08 GMT Catherine MacDonald http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2623 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2623 I'm essentially Scots-Irish, but wonder if there's Norse in me, too, given the history of those islands. This whole testing bit is a hoot though I'll skip the Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:01:49 GMT Liz Jones http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2622 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2622 I am also J1C5, my ancestry is English as far back as I know - to the 1600s. Before that, no idea!

I know little of my mother's ancestry since she was Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:31:36 GMT Josh Weinstein http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2619 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2619 I should have explained that not only are some areas under-represented, but they are particularly under-represented regarding full sequence testing.

My usual caution that the FTDNA sample (or any other company's sample) is small and technically 'biased' Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:20:48 GMT farrisjohnathan http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2617 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2617 Regarding J2b1a2, we are the data! Please join the J-mtDNA project, because that's the only way we start to see the patterns.

R1 began in Asia but that was a very long time ago----long before Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:57:16 GMT Josh Weinstein http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2614 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2614 J2b began in Asia---it is fairly common in Turkey. J2b1 is European. At the Jewish Heritage Project, no J2b1s of Jewish origin were listed although the list is Sat, 15 Jun 2013 10:56:41 GMT jenofonte333 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2613 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-mtDNA/message/2613 Oh, I forgot to say that, as far as I'm concerned, my maternal family is from the South East of Spain, in La Mancha, closed to Murcia and Alicante.
